Abstract

Lightweight soils are very economical and environment friendly materials that are valuable in field without wasting construction materials, dredged soils and clay/ silty soils during construction. Recently, the research of lightweight soils mixed with recycled material (recycled tire powder, rice husks) have been investigated. In this study the mix design factors (i.e., weight of soil, water content, foaming agent and added water) were analyzed and optimized mix design was suggested using cement content for revealing strength. For the analysis the stress-strain behavior, strength with respect to time, and experimental strength for the component of recycled material were analyzed. Finally, target strength was determined to calculate reasonable and economical mix ratio and the optimized cement content was suggested.

경량혼합토는 건설잔토나 준설토 및 현장에서 발생하는 점토나 실트질 흙을 사토처리 하지않고 현장에서 유용할 수 있는 매우 경제적이고 환경친화적인 재료이다. 최근에는 페자원(폐타이어가루, 왕겨)을 경량혼합토에 첨가하는 건설재료 재활용에 관한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 경량혼합토를 제작하기 위해 필요한 배합설계변수인 원료토의 중량, 함수비 및 기포재와 첨가할 물의 양, 그리고 강도를 발현하기 위하여 필요한 고화재로서 시멘트첨가량에 대한 최적의 배합설계에 대한 분석을 하였다. 이를 위하여 일축압축시험에 의한 응력-변형 거동과 양생기간 및 성분비에 따른 강도분석, 폐기물 성분비에 대한 실험강도 비교분석을 수행하였다. 마지막으로, 합리적이고 경제적인 배합비 산출을 위하여 경량혼합토의 목표강도를 결정하고 최적의 배합설계 변수를 제시하였다.
