Abstract

The conventional single-core PBDs have been widely used in order to accelerate consolidation settlement of soft grounds. When using the single-core PBD in a thick clay deposit, a delay of consolidation may occur due to high confining pressure in the thick deposit and necking of drains. This study is to compare the performances of soil improvement by the single-core and double-core PBD installed at a site in Busan New Port which exhibits approximately a 40m-thick clay layer. An in-situ test program was performed at the test site where a set of the double-core PBDs and single-core PBDs were installed to compare the efficiency of each drain. In addition, the discharge capacity of each PBD has been measured using the modified Delft Test. A series of laboratory tests for estimating in-situ soil properties have also been performed in order to obtain input parameters for a numerical program ILLICON. The discharge capacity of the double-core PBD is higher than that of the single-core PBD in the modified Delft Test. However it is observed from the comparative in-situ test and numerical analysis that there is no difference in the performance of ground improvement between the two drain systems. This discrepancy comes from the fact that the amount of water released during consolidation in most common field conditions is much smaller than the capacity of even the single core PBD. And thus, considering actual field conditions, it can be concluded that the single-core PBD has enough discharge capacity even in the thick clay deposit such as this test site.

단일코어 연직 배수재 공법은 현재까지 폭넓게 사용되는 연약지반 개량공법이다. 그러나 얇은 플라스틱 보드 형태의 PBD 구조로 인해 압밀 도중 큰 횡 방향 토압과 이에 따른 necking 현상이 발생하고 이는 PBD의 통수능을 감소시킨다. 본 연구 대상인 부산신항만 조성 공사현장은 대심도의 연약지반으로서 PBD 설치 시, 큰 횡 방향 토압에 의한 통수능 감소를 예상되어 통수능 감소현상을 극복하기 위하여 이중코어 PBD를 도입, 시공하고, 기존 형태의 단일코어 PBD를 동시에 설치한 후, 현장에서의 배수재 성능을 비교분석하였다. 실내실험으로는 개량 델프트 실험을 수행하여 연직배수재의 통수능을 측정하고, 현장에서 채취한 시료를 이용해 기본 물성실험 및 CRS 압밀시험을 수행하여 수치 해석 프로그램인 ILLICON에 적용하여 침하거동 양상을 파악하였다. 개량 델프트 실험에서는 이중코어 PBD의 통수능이 단일코어 PBD보다 높게 측정되었으나, 현장 계측 및 수치해석에서는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이는 일발전인 대심도 지반에서 압밀시 발생되는 물의 배수량은 상대적으로 작은 단일코어 PBD의 통수능 범위 보다도 작기 때문에 실제 현장에서는 단일코어 PBD와 이중코어 PBD의 성능차이가 없음을 확인하였다.
