Abstract

In the case of using the soil materials created by cutting in-situ ground directly without adjusting particle size, it is recommendable to seek the compaction property or material constant required for filling design or density control through indoor test, and many studies on this subject have been carried out during that time. The researches conducted during that time, however, were focused on the mixed materials with different diameters that exist in a natural condition. There has been no study conducted using coal fly ash that is by-product of the thermal power plant that is actively considered as the building materials. Therefore, this study was aimed at implementing compaction test and examining the basic engineering property in order to explore the influence of crushing the particles through compacting the admixture of crushed stone and coal fly ash produced from thermal power plant on its engineering property, and then the impact of the admixture volume of each material on compaction property and material property by conducting the One-Dimensional Compression Test. As result of compaction test, the optimum moisture ratio of coal fly ash was shown to be approx. 23%. As result of compaction test in accordance with the mixed ratio of coal fly ash and crushed stone under the same compaction energy and moisture ratio, dry unit weight tended to drop when the mixed ratio of coal fly ash exceeded 30%, while it reached approx. $1.81gf/cm^3$ when the mixed ratio was 30%. As result of One-Dimensional Compression Test in accordance with the mixed ratio of crushed stone and coal fly ash, the change in void ratio by particle crushing was at the highest level in the case of coal fly ash 100%, while the lowest level in the case of crushed stone 100%. In the case of mixed materials of crushed stone and coal fly ash, compression index was at the lowest level in case of coal fly ash 30%, and therefore this ratio of mixed material was judged to be the most stable from an engineering aspect.

원지반을 절토하여 생성된 토질재료를 입도조절 없이 곧바로 성토재료로 사용하는 경우, 성토의 설계나 밀도관리를 위해 필요한 다짐특성이나 재료정수는 실내시험을 통해 구하는 것이 바람직하며, 이에 대한 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 선행된 연구는 주로 자연상태에 존재하는 입경이 상이한 혼합재료에 관련된 것으로, 최근 건설재료로 활발히 연구되고 있는 화력발전소 부산물인 석탄회를 활용한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쇄석과 화력발전소에서 부산되는 저회를 혼합한 재료의 다짐에 의한 입자파쇄가 재료의 압축특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 다짐시험을 실시하여 기본적인 공학적 성질을 파악하였고, 일차원압축시험을 실시하여 다짐특성과 재료특성에 미치는 각 재료 혼합량의 영향을 파악하였다. 다짐시험 결과, 저회의 최적함수 비는 약 23%로 나타났고, 동일한 다짐에너지 및 함수비로 저회와 쇄석의 혼합비에 따른 다짐시험 결과 저회의 혼합율이 30%를 넘어서면 건조단위중량은 감소되는 경향을 나타내었고, 혼합율이 30%일 때 건조단위중량이 약 $1.81gf/cm^3$로 나타났다. 쇄석과 저회 의 혼합비에 따른 일차원압축시험 결과, 저회 100%의 경우 입자파쇄에 의한 간극비 변화가 가장 크게 나타났고, 쇄석 100%의 경우 가장 작게 나타났다. 쇄석과 저회 혼합재료의 경우, 저회 30%에서 압축지수가 가장 작게 나타나 혼합재료로서 공학적으로 가장 안정한 혼합비로 예상되었다.
