Abstract

In this study, the construction method of new underground continuos impervious wall that the bentonite slurry keeps the stability of excavated trench and the mixture of cement and bentonite plays a role as a constituent of impervious wall in the trench. The merit of homogeneity of the method so called as a cement-bentonite slurry wall enables to accurately make an estimation of hydraulic conductivity of the walls compared with that by other general grouting methods and to verify their waterproof efficiency without difficulty at the design stage. The use of cement-bentonite slurry walls for the containment of groundwater flow has also proven a cost-effective impervious wall technology by employing the simple combination of construction equipments and easy and fast construction procedures. The engineering characteristics of cement-bentonite impervious wall obtained by carrying out the laboratory experiments under various conditions. This study reveals the effect of variation of constituent materials and their mixing methods (Water-Cement-Bentonite) on the engineering characteristics of a composition. Also, this study makes some recommendations on the optimum mixing ratio and mixing sequence for the best quality at the site. That is the most important factors to estimate the construction cost and design of the technique. The comparison is lastly made to evaluate the effect of ordinary Portland and blast furnace slag cement as a bonding material on the behavior of impervious walls.

본 연구에서는 벤토나이트로 굴착 트렌치의 안정성을 유지하면서 시멘트와 벤토나이트 혼합물을 불투수벽체의 재료로 사용하여 지중차수벽체를 구성하는 새로운 시공방법에 대해 고찰하였다. 강화벤토나이트 차수벽체공법은 굴착된 구역을 균질하게 차수재료로 치환하므로 일반적인 그라우팅공법에 비해 차수효과의 예측과 시공성과의 검증이 보다 용이한 장점을 지닌다. 또한 강화벤토나이트 차수벽체공법은 시공 장비가 단순하고 시공 순서가 간단하므로 경제적인 측면에서도 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 실내실험을 통해 배합재료와 배합방법의 변화에 따른 강화벤토나이트 차수벽체의 공학적 특성을 고찰하였으며, 본 공법의 실무 적용 시 시공비용 결정과 벽체의 설계를 위해 가장 중요한 표준 배합비와 배합방법을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 차수벽체를 구성하는 재료들의 결합재로 사용되는 일반포틀랜드 시멘트와 고로슬레그 시멘트의 효과를 비교하였다.
