Abstract

Considering dredged ground is consolidated more than one meter, Compression index prediction is very important. But, UD-sampling and consolidation test are impossible because of high moisture content and weak shear strength. This paper demonstrates the compression index relation, $C_{c(d)}=F(e_d,C_c)$, between in-situ and dredged clay using N. Keith Tovey's Omega point and soil physical properties. Good relationship is confirmed between proposed formula and measured primary consolidation result on dredged ground in The Republic of Korea.

하중이 가해지면 수십 cm에서 수 m까지 침하가 발생하는 준설매립지반의 압축특성 파악은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있으나, 고 합수비와 낮은 전단강도로 인해 불교란 시료채취가 불가능하고 압밀시험 또한 불가능한 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 N. Keith Tovey의 omega point와 점토의 물리적 특성변화에 대한 기본적인 가정을 이용하여 원지반과 준설매립점토 사이에는 $C_{c(d)}=F(e_d,C_c)$ 관계를 가진다는 것을 수학적으로 증명하였으며, 제안식의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 준설매립을 통해 지반이 조성된 국내 1개 현장에서 수행된 계측결과에 대한 분석결과, 매우 양호한 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.
