초록

최근 기후변화로 인한 집중호우 및 태풍 등으로 농업용 저수지의 설계빈도를 초과하는 호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있어 농업용 저수지와 같은 수리시설물의 안전에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 현재 국내에는 17,140여 개소의 저수지가 공용 중에 있으며, 이 중 83.87%가 1970년 이전에 건설되어 저수지의 노후화에 따른 안정성 확보를 위해 저수지 제체에 다양한 공법을 활용한 보수·보강을 실시하고 있다. 그 중 cement-bentonite 벽체를 활용한 공법은 굴착과 동시에 cement와 bentonite로 이루어진 slurry로 지중연속벽체를 시공하는 공법으로 시공방법이 간편하고 시공속도가 빠르며 굴착구역을 즉시 치환함으로 차수벽체의 균질성을 확보하여 성능이 우수하다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 이와같은 장점에도 불구하고 국내에서는 적용사례가 많지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 cement와 bentonite의 혼합량을 변화시켜가며 강도변화 및 투수특성 등을 구명하여 저수지 제체의 보수·보강을 위한 cement-bentonte 벽체의 적정혼합량은 cement 200kg/m3, bentonite 60~80kg/m3인 경우가 가장 적합하다는 결론을 도출하였다.

Due to heavy rainfall and typhoons caused by climate change, it has become common to witness heavy rain that exceeds the design frequency of agricultural reservoirs. This has brought greater attention to the safety of irrigation facilities including agricultural reservoirs. Out of approximately 17,740 reservoirs available in Korea, 83.87% were built before 1970. To ensure the safety of these old reservoirs, their embankments are being repaired and reinforced using various techniques. Among these techniques, using the cement-bentonite cutoff wall makes it possible to construct diaphragm walls with slurry composed of cement and bentonite, while excavation. The advantages of this technique include that it is simple and fast, and ensures the uniformity of cutoff walls by enabling the immediate application of the replacement method to excavation areas; thus excellent performance is guaranteed. However, despite these advantages, the technique is not commonly used in Korea. Thus, this study investigated the changes in strength and permeability by varying the mix ratio of cement and bentonite. As a major experimental results, when the cement of 200 kg/m3 and the bentonite of 60 to 80 kg/m3 is most suitable for the repair and reinforcement of the reservoir embankments.
