Abstract

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on applicability of Light-weighted Foam Soils (LWFS) consisted of dredged soils for soft ground improvement. The engineering properties of LWFS were comprehensively investigated based on the previous experimental tests. And three dimensional numerical models which reflect soft ground conditions were adopted to evaluate the applicability of LWFS compared to SCP and DCM. A number of cases were analyzed using a stress-pore pressure coupled model. The results indicated that LWFS method enables to reduce more settlement, lateral flow and heaving than SCP method and enable to reduce more residual settlement than DCM method. Also it was revealed that such effect depends on the properties of LWFS such as unit weight, unconfined compressive strength, deformation modulus and Poisson's ratio.

본 논문에서는 준설토를 활용한 경량혼합토(LWFS)의 연약지반개량 적용성에 대해 검토한 내용을 다루었다. 현재까지 제시된 경량혼합토의 공학적 특성에 관한 연구결과를 종합 분석하여 경량혼합토의 물성을 정리하였으며, 그 결과를 토대로 임의의 현장조건을 가정하여 경량혼합토공법과 SCP 공법 및 DCM 공법 적용 시에 대한 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 연약지반개량공법 비교해석 결과, 경량혼합토 공법을 적용하는 경우 SCP 공법을 적용하는 수준 이상의 침하관리가 가능하며, 경량혼합토의 목표성능에 따라 침하발생 수준을 조절할 수 있는 것으로 검토되었다. 또한 DCM 공법과 비교 시 경량혼합토 재료의 경량성으로 과잉간극수압 발생량이 현저히 작아져 잔류침하를 최소화할 수 있는 것으로 검토되었다.
