Abstract

In this study, it was examined a strength characteristic of organic acid material that is eco-friendly and low energy as a soil improving material. The object of this study is to analysis of strength changes with observing the clay mixed organic acid material through the unconfined compression strength test and triaxial compression test during 28 days. As a result of the tests, the strength of clay mixed organic acid material is increased when the more ages are prolonged, the more organic acid material mixture ratio growed. Therefore, in grasping the strength improvement effects of clay by organic acid material mixing, it confirmed that organic acid material as soil improving material is effective through unconfined compression strength test and triaxial compression test. Through this test, the definite strength increase is confirmed according to the mixture of the organic acid material and the possibility of soil improvement is also confirmed based on this result. From now on, detailed examination and field test will help closely to definite strength characteristics.

본 연구에서는 저에너지, 친환경적인 방법의 지반개량을 목적으로 하는 유기산재의 지반개량재로서의 강도특성을 모색하였다. 이에 유기산재를 활용하여 재령 28일까지의 일축압축강도시험 및 삼축압축시험을 통한 흙의 강도 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 유기산 재료를 첨가한 점토의 강도는 재령이 길어질수록, 유기산재 혼합비가 커질수록 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유기산계 지반개량재 혼합에 따른 점토의 강도 증진 효과를 파악하는데 있어서, 일축압축강도시험과 삼축압축시험 결과를 통해 유기산재가 지반개량재로 쓰였을 때 가져오는 강도 증대효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로, 실내시험을 통해 지반개량에 있어 유기산계 지반개량재의 활용가능성을 볼 수 있었다. 향후 세부적인 시험과 현장시험이 좀 더 명확한 강도증진을 규명하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
