Abstract

A systematic laboratory compaction testing was performed with the laboratory seismic measurements of the compacted specimens sampled from various compaction fills and was supplemented with in-situ seismic testing to investigate the effects of compaction energy on the elastic wave velocities of the railway roadbed materials. The both variances of the compressive and shear wave velocities with moisture content curve ($V_p$-w and $V_s$-w curves) are similar to the general trend of the density-moisture content curve(${\gamma}_d$-w curve). At the wet side of optimal moisture content (OMC), either $V_p$ or $V_s$ does not significantly increase, which is well reflecting the no gaining in density with the increasing compaction energy exceeding modified-D compaction effort. $V_p$ increases linearly with ${\gamma}_d$ at the dry side of OMC, while it does exponentially at the wet side. The in-situ wave velocities were found to be influenced by the level of confinement and $V_s$ was more sensitive to compaction energy than $V_p$.

다짐 에너지에 따른 노반 성토재의 탄성파 속도변화 특성을 규명하기 위하여 다양한 위치에서 채취한 시료를 이용하여 실내 다짐 시험, 실내 탄성파 측정 시험, 현장 탄성파 측정 시험을 실시하였다. 함수비 변화에 따른 압축파와 전단파 속도 변화 곡선은 다짐 곡선과 유사한 형태를 보인다. 다짐에너지가 100 %이상 되는 조건에서는 다짐 에너지가 증가하더라도 습윤 측의 다짐곡선과 탄성파 속도 곡선에 큰 변화가 없다. 압축파의 경우 건조 측에서 건조단위중량이 증가함에 따라 압축파 속도가 선형적으로 증가하는 양상이 나타나지만, 습윤 측에서는 건조단위중량이 증가함에 따라 지수함수의 형태로 압축파 속도가 비선형적으로 증가한다. 현장 시험으로 측정한 탄성파 속도는 구속압이 증가함에 따라 증가하며, 압축파 속도보다는 전단파 속도가 다짐 에너지 수준에 보다 민감하게 변화한다.
