Abstract

Ground drilling is a common method to conduct site investigation, soil improvement, and pile installation. In the point of construction ground drilling requires electrical energy to drill a hole in ground in which the energy exerts into the motor located on the head of auger and generates rotational power. In this paper it is verified that the exerted electrical energy is closely related to the strength characteristics of ground. Measurement sensors, recording system, and drilling system were developed to obtain exerted motor current and drilling depth and laboratory soil box tests were carried out. The measured motor current and boring depth were applied to predict SPT N-value and the prediction results were compared to SPT N-value of laboratory tests. The test results show that the exerted electrical energy to bore ground be a good index to estimate SPT N-value.

지반굴착은 지반조사, 연약지반 개량, 선굴착 말뚝 시공 등 지반공학 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 지반을 굴착하기 위해서는 오거의 상부에 설치된 구동모터를 회전시키는 전기에너지가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 지반굴착시 구동모터에 소요되는 전기에너지와 지반의 표준관입시험 N값의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 지반굴착시 변화하는 전류값과 굴착깊이를 계측하기 위한 측정센서, 데이터 저장시스템, 굴착시스템 등의 실내실험 장치를 개발하였으며, 모형토조 실험을 수행하였다. 계측된 전류값과 굴착깊이는 표준관입시험 N값 추정에 이용되었으며 추정된 표준관입시험 N값은 실내실험으로부터 실측된 N값과 비교하였다. 비교결과 지반굴착에 소요되는 전기에너지를 이용하여 표준관입시험 N값을 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
