Shear Strength and Erosion Resistance Characteristics of Stabilized Green Soils

With the rising interest in the environment, more attention on ecological restoration for damaged slope surface to restore its original state has been drawn. Generally, the most useful method is vegetation based spray work. This method uses green soil including sewage sludge, sawdust, paper sludge, and weathered granite soil. However, because there are neither accurate information nor test values about green soil, green soil is often lost by environmental factors such as rainfalls and strong winds. To solve the problem of green soil, it is necessary to prepare design standards about green soil, and conduct studies to deal with green soil loss in consideration of various variables including basic material property, soil quality of slope surface, and weather. This study was conducted in the mixture of green soil and eco-friendly soil stabilizer. With green soil, basic material property test and compaction test were conducted for the analysis on the basic characteristics of green soil. In the mixture with soil stabilizer at a certain ratio, we conducted shear strength test depending on the ratio in order to analyze the maximum shear strength, cohesion and the change in internal friction angles. Furthermore, in the mixture ratio of green soil and soil stabilizer, which is the same as the ratio in the shear strength test, an inclination of slope surface was made in laboratory for the analysis on erosion and germination rate. Finally, this study evaluated the most effective and economic mixing ratio of soil stabilizer to cope with neighboring environmental factors. According to the test, the shear strength of green soil increased up to 51% rely onto the mixing ratio of and a curing period, and its cohesion and internal friction angle also gradually increases. It is judged that the mixture of soil stabilizer was effective in improving shear strength and thereby increased the stability of green soil.

토양안정재를 혼합한 녹생토의 전단강도 및 침식저항특성

최근 산림 훼손지를 원래 상태로 되돌리기 위한 생태복원에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 인공 비탈면을 보강하면서 친환경적인 녹화가 될 수 있는 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 생태복원을 목표로 식생생육의 기반이 되는 인공토양의 조성과 관련된 많은 기술들이 개발되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 하수오니, 톱밥, 제지슬러지, 화강풍화토가 포함되어 사용되고 있는 녹생토와 친환경적인 토양안정재를 활용하여 연구수행을 하였다. 토양안정재와 혼합된 녹생토를 이용해 기본물성실험을 통해 녹생토의 기본적인 특성을 분석하였으며, 친환경적인 토양안정재를 일정비율로 녹생토와 혼합하여 각각의 비율에 따른 전단강도실험을 수행하여 최대전단강도를 분석하고 이에 따른 점착력과 내부마찰각을 산정하였다. 그리고 녹생토와 토양안정재의 혼합비율을 전단강도실험과 동일한 조건으로 비탈면의 기울기를 적용하여 토양안정재의 혼합비율에 대한 침식률과 발아율을 분석하여 주변 환경적 요인에 대처 가능한 토양안정재의 경제적인 혼합비율을 고찰하고자 한다. 실험결과 양생기간과 안정재의 혼합률에 따라 최대 51%까지 전단강도가 증가하였으며, 실험결과를 바탕으로 내부마찰각과 점착력이 모두 상승한 점을 확인하여 안정재가 녹생토의 전단성능 과침식저항 향상에 기여하고 있음을 확인하였다.
