Abstract

Heavy rainfall induces many disasters including slope failure and infrastructure collapse. In this point of view, rainfall-simulated centrifugal model test can be a reasonable tool to evaluate the stability of geotechnical structure. In order to obtain the displacements of a model in centrifugal model test, in general, LVDT and laser displacement sensor are used. However, when the rainfall is simulated, the LVDT has the problem of excessive infiltration into the model ground, and the laser displacement sensor provides the measuring result with inaccuracy due to the dispersion of the laser radiation. Hence, in this study, horizontal displacement sensor for rainfall-simulated centrifugal model test was developed. This sensor produced with a thin elastic steel plate and gave the accurate relationship between the displacement and the strain.

집중호우는 사면의 붕괴와 사회 기반시설물의 파괴 등을 포함하는 다수의 재해를 유발한다. 이러한 관점에서 강우재현 원심모형실험은 지반구조물의 안정성을 평가하기 위한 합리적인 수단이 될 수 있다. 원심모형실험에서 모형의 변위를 취득하기 위하여 일반적으로 LVDT 또는 레이저 변위계가 사용된다. 그러나 강우모사 시 LVDT는 모형지반으로의 과다 침윤의 문제가 있으며, 레이저 변위계는 레이저의 산란에 의해 계측치의 정확성이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우재현 원심모형실험에 적용하기 위한 수평변위 계측장치를 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 탄성의 박철판과 스트레인 게이지를 이용하여 제작된 본 장치는 관입을 위한 말단부를 고정시켜 수행한 검정 결과로부터 정확한 변위-변형률 관계를 나타냄을 확인하였다.
