Abstract

In this research, the value of consolidation index was investigated. The range of the investigated standard deviation was analyzed and the deviation based settlement was calculated. Also, the compression index, which is the effect of the uncertainty in the ground was analyzed using the flimsy ground construction method. The settlement behavior in each embankment compaction stage was analyzed by applying the precompression load method, drainage expediting method, and displacement method through numerical analysis. In addition to the above, the settlement behavior was studied by analyzing the Piled Raft method which is stable for long term settlement. As a result, the final settlement amount based on average analysis results was that the settlement based on each of the average interpretation value, mean value of the maximum and minimum value and average compression index was different. The result of the comparison shows the difference in variation coefficient by the difference in time. Amongst them, the Piled Raft method shows the most consistent variation coefficient regardless of time and it also was least affected by the compression index of uncertainty.

본 연구에서는 국내외 적용 중인 압밀지수의 값을 조사하고 조사된 표준편차 범위를 분석하였으며, 편차에 따른 침하량을 계산하였다. 또한 지반에서 내재한 불확실성 변수인 압축지수가 연약지반 처리공법 하에서 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석을 통해 프리로딩 공법, 배수촉진 공법, 치환 공법을 적용하여 성토단계별 침하거동을 분석하였고, 추가적으로 장기적인 침하에 안정적인 Piled Raft 공법을 추가로 분석하여 침하거동을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 최종침하량에 따른 평균분석 결과는 해석 값의 평균, 해석값의 최대 최소의 중간값, 평균 압축지수(Cc=0.35)를 사용할 경우에 발생된 침하량이 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 최종침하량에 따른 변동계수의 비교 분석 결과, 각 공법별로 시간에 따라 변동계수의 차이를 보였다. 그 중 Piled Raft 공법이 시간의 경과와 상관없이 일정한 변동계수 값을 보이며, 다른 공법보다 낮은 값으로 불확실성 지반정수의 압축지수에 영향이 가장 적은 것으로 확인되었다.
