Abstract

Gravel compaction pile (GCP) is widely used as it increases the bearing capacity of soft ground and reduces the consolidation settlement. Stress concentration ratio for GCP design is dependent on the area replacement, surcharge pressure and depth. However, a range of stress concentration ratio obtained through field, laboratory experiments and numerical analysis is large. Little study has been done on the stress concentration ratio for the mixing ratio of gravel and sand. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the stress concentration ratio for both area replacement ratio and mixing ratio through literature review and numerical analysis. Numerical analysis using the finite element program ABAQUS 6.12-4 has been performed for the composite ground with GCP. The excess pore water pressure and stress concentration ratio of composite ground have been analyzed for both the area replacement ratio and the mixing ratio. Based on the previous research results, a range of stress concentration ratio obtained from the field tests, laboratory tests, numerical analysis on the GCP studies is found to be 1.7-3.2, 2.0-7.5 and 2.0-6.5, respectively. Based on the numerical analysis results, as the area replacement ratio increases, the stress concentration ratio increases up to 30% and then decreases at 40%. Also, the stress concentration ratio tends to increase up to 70:30 and then to decrease after 60:40.

쇄석다짐말뚝(GCP)은 연약지반의 지지력 증가와 침하량의 감소를 실현할 수 있어 연약지반 개량에 활발하게 사용되고 있다. GCP 설계에 필요한 응력분담비는 치환율, 상재하중, 깊이 등에 따라 달라진다. 많은 연구자들이 현장실험, 실내실험, 수치해석 연구를 통해 쇄석으로 이루어진 GCP에 대해 치환율에 따른 응력분담비를 제시하였으나, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 따른 응력분담비에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행연구 분석과 수치해석을 통해 배합비와 치환율에 따른 응력분담비를 명확히 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS 6.12-4를 사용하여 GCP가 시공된 복합지반을 모델링하여 배합비와 치환율에 따라 복합지반의 과잉간극수압과 응력분담비를 분석하였다. 선행연구 분석결과, GCP 복합지반의 응력분담비에 관한 연구에서 일반적으로 현장에서 정재하시험, 실내시험, 수치해석을 통해 얻은 응력분담비는 각각 1.7~3, 2~7.5, 2~6.5 범위로 나타났으며, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 관한 연구에서는 일반적으로 클로깅현상을 저감시키기 위해 실내실험 한 결과로 쇄석과 모래의 최적배합비가 70:30으로 나타났다. 수치해석결과, 일반적인 GCP 복합지반의 치환율이 증가함에 따라 응력분담비가 치환율 30%까지는 증가하다가 40%에서는 다시 감소하는 경향이 나타났으며, 쇄석과 모래의 배합비에 따른 응력분담비는 일반적으로 모래의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 쇄석과 모래의 배합비가 70:30까지는 증가하다가 60:40 이후에 다시 감소하는 경향이 나타났다.
