The most of horizontal drainages, which is composed of the aggregates made of sand and crushed stone, are used to improve the soft ground. However, where the aggregates are used as the horizontal drainage, it often brings about the delay of consolidation. For this reason, the horizontal drain pipe system is applied to properly improve the soft ground using a drainage pipe instead of horizontal drainage. This system is direct drain method for disappearing the excess porewater pressure which is caused by placing of fill on the soft ground. The large-scale field test was conducted in order to evaluate the applicability and constructability of the horizontal drain pipe system. The settlement characteristics of improved ground with horizontal drain pipe system was observed. It is also compared to the conventional soft ground improvement method to confirm its effectiveness.

In order to prevent slope disasters caused by rainfall, it is very important to quickly exclude rainfall. In Korea, horizontal drainage holes with excellent economic feasibility and construction performance are generally applied as a method to lower the underground water level. However, horizontal drainage holes constructed on the site are often uniformly constructed regardless of the presence or absence of other water or ground conditions, and it is often difficult to expect drainage performance of horizontal drainage holes due to poor maintenance. In this study, an artificial ground was created using model construction and horizontal drainage experiments were conducted to measure the amount of horizontal drainage drain in a certain amount of control area 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and an evaluation table (draft) that can quantitatively evaluate horizontal drainage based on measurements and design documents is proposed as basic data.

Horizontal drains are sometimes installed on the ground together with vertical drains in order to drain excess pore water. Taking into account the discharge capacity of horizontal drains, a new analytical method is developed in this paper, and then a new formula for the discharge capacity of horizontal drains is proposed. It is known from the analysis that the effect of the rate of surcharge loading is negligible in determining horizontal discharge capacity. This formula is described as the function of coefficient of consolidation, space of vertical drain, compression index, length of horizontal drains, and thickness of the compressible layer.

준설매립지반 표층강도증진을 위한 수평진공배수공법 적용시의 압밀현상 예측을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 초연약지반에 수평배수재와 진공압을 이용하여 수평진공배수 공법을 적용할 경우, 배수재 부근에서 3차원적 배수특성과 넓은 범위의 유효응력의 변화, 지반의 압축성 및 투수성이 크게 변화하게 된다. 이를 위하여 3차원 배수특성과 다양한 경계조건, 부의 간극수압 발생을 통한 유효응력의 증가, 유효응력에 따른 압축성과 투수성의 비선형성을 포함할 수 있도록 기존의 3차원 압밀 지배방정식을 확장 유도하였고, 유효응력-간극비-투수계수의 관계를 누승형태의 함수로 표현하여 사용하였다. 해석기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 실내에서 수행된 대형 토조실험 결과를 모델링하여 좋은 일치를 확인하였고, 이를 바탕으로 수평진공배수공법 적용시의 압밀효과에 대한 분석결과 드레인이 타설된 상부지반에서는 균등한 개량효과의 결과를, 하부의 미개량 지반에서는 자중압밀에 의한 압밀효과를 확인할 수 있었으며 배수재의 수평타설 간격에 따른 압밀효과 분석을 통하여 적정 배수재 설치간격의 범위를 확인하였다.

Horizontal drainage, which are representative dewatering method of domestic and foreign slope, are applied to reducing pore water pressure. Accordingly, several previous studies have been conducted, but horizontal drainage are standardized which is an unclean standard for a quantity calculation in filed. Therefore, this study presents field soil and laboratory model box to identify a drainage performance and influencing factors of various horizontal drainage. Furthermore, this study verifies the performance comparison of drainage shape or size according to different particle size distributions. In the outflow results for steady state, the study found that all samples are drained at a constant rate after a minimum of 3 minutes to maximum of 15 minutes. In the case of comparing the outflow per hour (Unit flux) in coarse grained soils, it found that drainage shape and size affect drainage performance. In the result, the future expected to be used basic data that experiment of drainage performance on fine grained soils and determine the quantity.

선행압밀공법에서 지반으로부터 배출되는 물을 신속히 배수시키기 위해 연약지반상에 수평배수층을 설치한다. 종전의 연구에 의하면(예, Giroud(1981), 한국도로공사(1998)), 배수층의 통수능은 성토하중의 성토기간 또는 압밀속도의 영향을 받으며, 성토기간이 짧을 때에는 과다한 배수능이 요구된다. 이 논문에서는 선행압밀공법에 적용 가능한 새로운 압밀해석방법을 사용하여 소요통수능을 재검토하고 새로운 실용공식을 제안하였다. 전반적인 압밀침하량이 5%이내에서 지연될 때에는 소요통수능은 성토기간의 영향을 받지 않는다는 것을 알게 되었다. 또한 소요통수량은 압축지수, 압밀계수 및 수평배수층의 배수거리의 제곱에 비례한다는 것도 밝혀졌다.

토목합성재료(Geosynthetics) 중 배수용으로 사용되는 재료는 기능상 유체의 흐름을 수평방향으로 유도하는 재료를 의미하며, 일반적으로 저장된 유체를 수직으로 이동시키는 필터기능을 가지는 1,000g/㎡ 미만의 지오텍스타일(geotextiles)과 수평방향의 유도로를 확보한 지오네트(geonets)를 결합시킨 지오네트 복합제품이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 배수용 토목합성재료는 쓰레기 매립장의 건설 시 침출수의 외부유출을 차단하기 위하여 설치하는 차수막인 지오멤브레인(geomembranes)을 매립된 쓰레기 하중 및 외부의 충격으로부터 보호하는 용도로 사용된다.

Material functions about effective stress, permeability, coefficient of consolidation and coefficient of volume change has important role to predict consolidation velocity and settlement of soft ground. Modified oedometer for radial drainage is adapted to find out material functions on laboratory tests. Undisturbed sample for laboratory tests were taken from construction sites of industrial complexes on southern coastal area which consists of upper dredged fill and lower original clay layer. For different drainage condition in consolidation process void ratio, effective stress, permeability, coefficient of consolidation and coefficient of volume change has been assessed with results of existing standard oedometer tests. It is worthwhile to note that consolidation material functions could be expressed as regression equation by Stark (2005), heterogeneity for permeability could be assessed from these relationships.

The gravitational consolidation behavior of the dredged ground with horizontal drains is analyzed using a finite difference program developed for self-weight consolidation analysis with horizontal drains. The influence of area and direction of horizontal drains on the consolidation time and settlement is analyzed. Various field conditions such as the non-treated ground below horizontal drain installed ground, the accumulation of drained water at the end of horizontal drains, are also included in the analyses. It was found that a slight decrease of consolidation time is resulted in the twice increase of the sectional area of drains. Installing drains vertically can reduce the consolidation time more significantly than installing drains horizontally. The analyses showed quantitatively that the non-treated ground below the horizontal drain installed ground has much influence on long term consolidation settlement, and the accumulation of hydraulic head at the end of horizontal drains results in the increase of consolidation time and insufficient consolidation.
