Abstract

The soil improvement method so far has been developed with an emphasis on enhancing the strength of the ground. A soil improvement method using a excellent cementitious stabilizer in economical efficiency and handling property is mainly used. The soil improvement method using cementitious stabilizer is effective but environmental and human harmful substances are detected and environmental problems such as carbon dioxide emission and groundwater pollution are pointed out. Therefore, as part of an alternative method capable of solving such problems, researches on the soil improvement method incorporating biological technology are being actively carried out. This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of strength change when mixed with environmentally friendly soil binder and microorganism in clay, and it was analyzed by uniaxial compression test, direct shear test, SEM, XRD. As a results of the test, we confirmed the cementation caused by microbially induced calcite precipitation and the strength increase enhancement by it.

지금까지의 지반개량공법은 지반의 강도증진을 중점으로 개발되어 왔으며, 경제성과 취급 성이 우수한 시멘트계 안정재를 이용한 지반개량공법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 시멘트계 안정재를 이용한 지반개량 공법은 효과가 우수하지만 환경 및 인체에 유해한 물질이 검출되며 이산화탄소 배출 및 지하수 오염 등의 환경적인 문제가 지적되고 있다. 따라서, 이런 문제를 해결할 수 있는 대체 공법의 일환으로 생물학 기술을 접목한 지반개량공법의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 이 연구는 점성토에 친환경 고결제와 미생물을 혼합하였을 때의 강도변화 특성을 파악하고자 친환경 고결제와 미생물의 혼합여부와 양생일수에 따라 일축압축시험, 직접 전단시험, SEM 분석 및 X선 회절분석 등을 실시하였으며 시험결과 미생물의 탄산칼슘생성작용으로 인한 고결화와 그로 인한 장기강도증진을 확인하였다.
