Abstract
Kozeny-Carman equation has been generally applied to prediction of permeability for soil. The Kozeny-Carman equation has indicated fairly good results in prediction of sandy soils, but it is known that the equation is not appropriate for fine-grained soils such as cohesive soils. Therefore, a theoretical equation based on Kozeny-Carman equation is proposed to predict of permeability for cohesive soils in this paper. To develop the theoretical equation, soil properties of cohesive soil existed in the coastal areas and compacted cohesive soil used for the core of a dam were investigated and analyzed. As the results of this limited study, the most related factors between soil properties and permeability were #200 passing percentage for compacted cohesive soil, and clay content for cohesive soil at the coast areas.
일반적으로 흙의 투수계수를 예측하기 위하여 Kozeny-Carman 공식이 널리 적용되어왔다. 그러나 Kozeny-Carman 공식은 모래질 흙의 투수계수 예측에는 좋은 결과를 나타내나 점성토와 같은 세립토에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Kozeny-Carman 공식을 고려하여 점성토의 투수계수를 예측할 수 있는 이론식을 제시하였다. 이론식을 위해 해안가의 점성토와 댐의 심벽재로 사용하는 다짐 점성토의 토질특성에 대해 조사 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 토질특성과 투수계수 사이의 주요 관계 요소로, 해안가 점성토는 점토함유율, 다짐 점성토는 #200통과율과 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
