Abstract

In a banking process for construction of a complex, non-compaction construction has been applied in most sites, which is a method that soils are compacted by the equipment load without being compacted separately. However, there are no specific descriptions in the construction manual or specifications, so it is unclear to evaluate the excavation volume. Hence, this study is a basic study to compare the soil conversion factor at a design stage and the actual soil conversion factor of a banking ground under a non-compaction condition in order to examine the feasibility in constructing the ground for construction of the complex and to examine appropriateness of the earth work in the site by conducting an indoor, field, and load-settlement test and proposing a reasonable soil conversion factor. Under the non-compaction condition, the soil conversion factor C is set to be 1.0 at the design stage, but the result of the field test was 0.86 which is smaller than the value at the design stage. It was expected that this result would increase the banking volume, and the construction result actually showed a difference in the banking volume. Therefore, for the baking ground under the non-compaction condition, it is necessary to apply the value C suitable for the site condition after performing test by considering the site's condition and the banking height.

단지조성을 위한 성토과정에서 비다짐 시공은 별도의 다짐을 수행하지 않고 장비하중에 의해 다져지게 하는 공법으로 대부분의 현장에서 적용하고 있으나 구체적인 시공지침이나 시방에 명시되지 않아 토공량 평가에 불명확한 점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 단지조성을 위한 지반조성을 수행함에 있어 비다짐 성토지반에 대한 설계 토량환산계수와 실제 토량환산계수 값을 비교하여 타당성 여부를 검토하고 실내시험 및 현장시험, 하중-침하시험 등을 수행하여 합리적인 토량환산계수를 제안함으로써 현장에서의 토공 적정성을 검토하기 위한 기초연구이다. 비다짐 시 토량환산계수 C값은 1.0으로 설계하고 있으나, 현장실험결과 0.86으로 설계보다 작은 것으로 나타나 성토량이 증가될 것으로 예측되었으며, 시공결과 실제로 성토량에 차이가 발생하였다. 따라서 비다짐 성토의 경우 현장여건 및 성토고의 자중을 고려하여 현장조건에 적합한 C값을 실험을 통하여 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.
