Abstract

Sea gives us a lot of benefits and one of them is a role of transporting goods easily by ship. Accordingly the industrial area or the container yard is constructed either on the low sea or near the sea. Sea dredging ground is made by pumping them using dredge pump to the inside of embankment after dredging undersea soils. The dredging ground after pumping is in the slurry state but as time goes, consolidation by the own weight happens and evaporation happens at the surface of dredging ground. The evaporation causes the crest layer in the upper side of dredging ground. Under the crest layer there is still a soil of slurry state which has just little bearing resistance. This kind of characteristics makes it difficult to get a exact bearing capacity using the equations proposed until now. In this study we have performed simultaneously both the field loading tests and the cone penetration tests on the sea dredging ground. From the result of field tests, new experimental equation for the ultimate bearing capacity has been proposed. If we use the new equation, it is believed that some design of sea dredging ground could be more accurate.

준설매립지반은 준설토에 의해 매립되어 지반이 매우 연약한 상태이며, 설계시 정확한 지지력을 예측하는 것은 더욱 힘들다. 실제 준설매립지를 대상으로 여러 가지 연약지반처리공법을 설계하고 있지만, 특히 준설토지반의 특성에 기인한 장비진입 즉 표층처리공법 또한 문제점을 안고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하고자 연약지반에서 적용 할 수 있는 평판재하시험장치를 개발하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 준설매립현장을 대상으로 현장에서 개발된 평판재하시험을 이용하여 현장시험을 실시하였으며, 아울러 콘테스트만의 결과를 가지고 준설토지반의 지지력을 구하는 실험식을 제안하고자 하였다. 대부분 준설매립지반은 매립경과시간에 따라 표면건조층의 두께가 달라지게 되므로 본 연구에서 제안한 실험식이 매우 효과적인 방법이라 판단되며, 향후 준설토 매립지반의 공법설계시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
