초록

Diatom 성분이 함유된 자연 퇴적토층의 공학적 특성은 대상층의 변형 및 강도의 특이한 특성 때문에 다수의 연구자에 의해 수 십년간 연구되어 왔다. 원반형 혹는 원통형 모양을 한 diatom의 존재는 재료의 낮은 압축성, 높은 투수성, 높은 전단강도 특성을 나타내게 하며, 이러한 특이한 차이점들은 큰 내부입자 간극과 모난 입자의 결합력으로 diatom의 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 현상은 흙의 공학적 특성을 변화시켜서 지반개량 재료로써 diatom을 이용할 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 논문은 diatom 개량토의 공학적 특성을 연구하기 위해 diatom-kaolin 혼합토의 공학적 특성을 통상적인 지반공학 실험 및 탄성파를 이용한 미소변형 실험, 전자기파를 이용한 전기저항 측정실험 등을 통하여 평가하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면, diatom 함유량에 따라 흙의 공학적 개선이 이루어진 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 높은 응력에서 diatom 입자의 결합이 파괴되어 일부 공학적 특성이 저감되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The engineering characteristics of natural sediments containing diatom microfossils have been investigated for their abnormal deformation and strength behavior for a few decades. The presence of disk or hollow shape diatoms causes low compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and high shear strength of sediments. Some of these unusual differences show the characteristic of diatom owing to the interlocking of large interparticle porosity and angular particles. This phenomenon implies the possible use of diatom as modification materials to change the engineering performance of soil mixtures. This paper describes the engineering characteristics of diatom-kaolin mixture to investigate the engineering properties of diatom modified soils using conventional geotechnical tests and elastic and electromagnetic wave propagation tests. Experimental test results show the performance improvement by increasing diatom contents and the performance degradation by the breakage of interlocking between diatom particles under high effective stress.
