Abstract

Preconsolidation stress is one of the important design parameters in soft soils because the behavior of saturated soft soils changes dramatically at the preconsolidation stress. For the estimation of preconsolidation stress, the global vertical settlement without considering micro strain behavior has been considered. The purpose of this study is to propose and verify a new method called the "shear wave velocity method" for determination of the preconsolidation stress reflecting on particle behavior at the small-strain. In this study, the undisturbed soft soils obtained at Busan, Incheon and Gwangyang in Korea were used. The oedometer cell incoporated with the bender elements is used for the consolidation tests under the $K_0$ condition. The preconsolidation stress determined by the proposed method is compared with that estimated by Casagrande (e-log p'), Sridharan (log (1+e)-log p'), and Onitsuka (In(1+e)-log p') methods. This study suggests that the shear wave velocity method may determine simply the preconsolidation stress with considering the small-strain behavior.

포화된 연약지반의 거동 특성은 선행압밀하중을 기점으로 다양하게 변하기 때문에 정확한 선행압밀하중 산정은 연약지반 평가시 상당히 중요한 설계정수 이다. 선행압밀하중 평가를 위한 기존 방법들은 하중에 따른 침하량만을 산정할 뿐 입자의 미소변형 거동에 따른 입자 자체의 특성은 고려되지 않았다 본 논문의 목적은 입자의 미소변형 거동 특성을 반영한 전단파 속도를 이용하여 선행압밀하중을 산정하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 부산, 인천, 광양 지역에서 채취된 비교란 시료를 이용하였다. 횡방향 구속($K_0$ 조건)하에서 축 하중을 증가 시키며 전단파 속도를 측정 할 수 있는 벤더 엘리먼트가 설치된 압밀 셀을 이용하였다. 선행압밀하중은 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 Casagrande (e-log p') 방법, Sridharan (log (1+e)-log p') 방법, 그리고 Onitsuka (In(1+e)-log p') 방법으로 산정하여 본 논문에서 제시된 방법으로 산정된 선행압밀하중과 비교하였다. 본 연구는 전단파 속도를 이용하여 선행압밀하중을 평가 할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였으며, 이는 미소변형 거동 특성을 고려한 새로운 방법으로 적용되기를 기대한다.
