Abstract

To predict the settlement rate of a ground area that incorporates vertical drains, it is desirable to conduct various kinds of advanced field and laboratory tests for hydraulic properties. However, it is urgently needed to appropriately evaluate the hydraulic properties using the results of conventional soil tests which are extensively used for local practice. To achieve this purpose, a number of CPT dissipation test, laboratory permeability and consolidation tests were performed at five sites in the floodplain of the Nakdong River delta, and the test data were comprehensively analyzed. As a result, it is found that the coefficients of horizontal consolidation ($C_{h,NC}$) and permeability ($k_{h,OC}$) of the clay agreed well with those of the CPT-based methods proposed by Baligh and Levadoux (1986). The values of $C_{h,NC}$ and $k_{h,OC}$ were in the range of $0.4{\sim}3.0\;cm^2/sec$ and $0.40{\sim}2.50\;cm^2/sec$, each of which slightly increases or decreases with depth, respectively. It was also inferred that these trends seem to reflect the depositional environments of the clay.

연직배수공이 매설되는 점토지반에서 압밀속도를 예측하기 위해서는 다양한 종류의 고급 실내 및 현장토질실험을 수행하여 합리적으로 수리학적 특성치를 결정하는 것이 바람직하다. 그러나 실무에서와 같이 보편적인 수행할 경우에 수리학적 특성을 합리적으로 규명하는 것이 우선 필요하다. 이를 위하여 낙동강 허구의 범람원 지역에 속하는 5개 지점을 선정하여 수많은 CPT 소산시험, 보편적인 실내 투수 및 압밀실험을 실시하였으며, 그들을 이용하여 종합적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 이 점토의 수평방향 압밀계수($C_{h,NC}$) 및 투수계수($k_{h,OC}$)는 Balight & Levadoux(1986)의 제안법을 적용한 CPT소산시험결과가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 여기서 $C_{h,NC}$와 $k_{h,OC}$는 각각 $0.4{\sim}3.0\;cm^2/sec$ 및 $(1{\sim}3){\times}10^{-9}m/sec$ 범위에 있으며, 두 값은 깊이에 따라 약간씩 증가 및 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 퇴적환경을 잘 반영하는 것으로 해석되었다.
