초록

중동지역의 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래는 낮은 전단강도를 나타내며, 입자파쇄시 내부공극의 외부노출로 인한 즉시침하와 파쇄입자의 재배열로 인한 시간 의존적 이차침하가 발생된다. 현장 대형기초에 의한 Sabkha층의 침하특성을 분석하기 위하여 Hydrotest를 수행하였고, 실내시험 결과와 비교하였다. 삼축압축시험 결과 일차입자파쇄의 정도에 따라 Sabkha층 GL-1.5 m에서 Strain-hardening, GL-7.0 m에서 Strain-perfect, GL-7.5 m에서 Strain-softening 형태의 응력-변형 거동이 나타났다. 일반적으로 전반전단파괴는 입자가 조밀하고 지반의 강도가 큰 경우 발생하나 Sabkha층 탄산질 모래에서는 Strain-softening 거동 발생시 Strain-hardening과 Strain-perfect 거동에 비하여 오히려 입자파쇄 강도가 작아지는 현상이 발생하였다. 이러한 응력-변형 특성은 상대밀도 증가시 전단강도가 증가하는 석영질 모래의 특성과는 상이한 것이다. 현장 Hydrotest시 입자파쇄의 영향으로 간극수압 소산 후에도 지속적인 이차압축침하가 발생되었으며, 입자파쇄응력이 상대적으로 작고 Strain-softening 거동, 혹은 Strain-perfect 거동을 나타낸 하부 Sabkha층의 입자파쇄가 기초침하에 지배적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

The carbonate sands of the Sabkha layer in the Middle East have very low shear strength. Therefore, instant settlement and time-dependent secondary settlement occur when inner voids are exposed, as in the case of particle crushing. We analyzed settlement of the Sabkha layer under a large-scale foundation by hydrotesting, and compared the field test results with the results of laboratory tests. With ongoing particle crushing, we observed the following stress-strain behaviors: strain-hardening (Sabkha GL-1.5 m), strain-perfect (Sabkha GL-7.0 m), and strain-softening (Sabkha GL-7.5 m). General shear failure occurred most frequently in dense sand and firm ground. Although the stress-strain behavior of Sabkha layer carbonate sand that of strain-softening, the particle crushing strength was low compared with the strain-hardening and strain-perfect behaviors. The stress-strain behaviors differ between carbonate sand and quartz sand. If the relative density of quartz sand is increased, the shear strength is also increased. Continuous secondary compression settlement occurred during the hydrotests, after the dissipation of porewater pressure. Particle crushing strength is relatively low in the Sabkha layer and its stress-strain behavior is strain-softening or strain-perfect. The particle crushing effect is dominant factor affecting foundation settlement in the Sabkha layer.
