A case Study on Settlement and Bearing Capacity Improvement for Soft Clay Applying the Reinforcement Method using Stabilized Soil

In this study, the physical and dynamic characteristics of soil were analyzed by selecting 3 sections as research subjects among road and structure construction sections in the construction site of the Gwangyang ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ industry area, and conducted consolidation analysis and bearing capacity assessments through Midas-GTS according to the construction conditions of the structures and section conditions of reinforcement using stabilized soil. The effects of improving the settlement and bearing capacity according to the improved effects of the stability and sections of reinforcement using stabilized soil in applying the reinforcement method using stabilized soil were analyzed as a solution for improving the settlement and bearing capacity of soft clay for constructing roads and structures. The improvement effects of the settlement and bearing capacity were outstanding when the reinforcement method using stabilized soil to the soft clay was applied. After applying the reinforcement method using stabilized soil, the holdback effect of the consolidation settlement was excellent by decreasing the volume of the consolidation settlement from a minimum of 53% to a maximum of 82%. When the width of the reinforcement using stabilized soil was twice the width of the constructed structure, it was found that the holdback effect of the consolidation settlement ranged from 1% to 7% through the width of reinforcement using stabilized soil. In addition, when applying reinforcement more than 6m in width and 1m in depth using stabilized soil, it was found that the increase in the allowable bearing capacity was 2.3 to 3.3 times more than that before applying the reinforcement, which suggests that the increase in bearing capacity by applying the reinforcement method using stabilized soil was significant.

고화처리공법이 적용된 연약점토지반의 침하 및 지지력 개선에 관한 사례연구

본 연구에서는 광양 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$산업단지 공사현장내의 도로 및 구조물 시공구간 중 연구대상 3구간을 선정하여 지반의 물리 역학적 특성을 분석하고 구조물 시공조건, 고화처리 단면조건에 따라 Midas-GTS를 통해 압밀해석과 지지력 산정을 수행하였다. 도로 및 구조물이 시공되는 연약점토지반의 침하 및 지지력 개선방안으로 고화처리공법 적용 시 지반의 안정성 개선효과와 고화처리단면에 따른 침하 및 지지력 개선효과를 분석하였다. 연약점토지반에 고화처리공법을 적용 시 침하 및 지지력 개선효과가 뛰어난 것으로 나타났으며 특히, 고화처리공법 적용 후 압밀침하량이 최소 53%에서 최대 82%까지 감소하여 압밀침하 억제효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 고화처리 폭이 설치 구조물 폭의 2배 이상인 경우 고화처리 폭이 증가하여도 압밀침하 억제효과는 1~7%정도로 미소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 고화처리 폭 6m, 심도 1m이상 적용시 고화처리 전보다 허용지지력이 2.3~3.3배정도 크게 증가한 것으로 나타나 고화처리공법을 적용하면 지지력 증대효과가 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
