일정변형률압밀사시험의 효율성 및 적용성을 구체화하기 위해 인공시료 또는 한정된 지역에서 채취한 불교란 점성토 시료가 아닌 광범위한 지역에서 채취한 불교란 점성토 시료에 대해 시험을 실시하였다. 시료채취의 대상지역은 우리나라의 서해안에서 동해안에 이르는 13개 지역이며, 29개의 불교란 자연시료를 채취하여 일정변형률압밀시험을 113회 실시하였다. 또한, 비교하기 위해 표준압밀시험도 병행하였다. 시험결과로부터 얻어진 압밀정수에 대한 공학적 특성을 고찰하였고, 회기분석을 통해 통계식을 제안하였다. 두 시험법에 의해 산출된 압밀정수를 비교 분석한 결과 수압비가 20% 이내인 범위에서는 일정변형률압밀시험의 변형률 속도가 압밀시험의 정수에 미치는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 압축지수 및 압밀계수는 일정면형률시험의 결과 값이 표준압밀시험의 결과 값보다 크게 산출되었으나 일관성을 보였다. 또한, 선행압밀압력에 있어서는 두 시험법에 Cassagrande의 방법을 적용할 경우 서로 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구로부터 일정변형률압밀시험을 사용하여 표준압밀시험에 상용하는 상호관계식 개발의 타당성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the testing cell and the related theory far the interpretation of constant rate of strain (CRS) consolidation test results in case of radial drainage were developed. The proposed method makes it possible to evaluate consolidation characteristics of clayey soil rapidly and accurately. To investigate the application of the developed testing device and theory, CRS consolidation tests and incremental loading(IL) tests in radial drainage condition with remolded and undisturbed samples were performed. Comparisons of consolidation parameters from consolidation curves including coefficient of consolidation values show the applicability and the reliability of the suggested method. The experimental data were compared with additional vertical drainage CRS tests and IL tests, and then were analyzed considering the effect of the drainage direction. In addition, the effect of excess pore water pressure generated during CRS consolidation test was investigated.

서해안에 위치한 특정 연구현장에서 연약지반의 압밀거동을 파악하기 위한 소산시험을 포함한 콘관입시험을 수행했다. 연구현장에서 시험시공으로 적용한 연약지반개량공법으로는 압성토공법, 두 종류의 페이퍼드레인 공법, 팩드레인 공법이었으며 각각의 공법들에 있어 현장에서의 지반개량에 따른 압밀거동을 판정하기 위해서 적용되었다. 콘관입시험은 근본적으로 지반개량 전과 후에 보링, 표준관입시험, 압밀시험과 함께 수행되었다. 실내실험과 피조콘관입시험을 비교한 결과, 연약지반의 표층에서는 상당한 지반개량효과가 있었으나 표층아래 심층지반에서는 그렇치 않았다. 그리고 지반개량 후, 10개월이 지난 시점에 압밀시험과 소산시험 결과를 통하여 분석한 수평압밀계수는 압성토 방법을 제외한 3가지 개량공법을 적용한 지점에서 압밀계수는 감소하여 개량효과를 간접적으로 판단할 수 있었다.

In order to investigate the anisotropy in the coefficient of consolidation of the clay deposit, a series of consolidation tests were carried out on the artificially deposited clay sample by both Rowe-type and conventional consolidometers. The results of the tests showed that the coefficient of consolidation for radially inward drainage by Rowe-type consolidometer was about two times larger than that for vertical drainage by the conventional consolidometer. The smear effect caused by vertical sand drain installation was found to be significant, especially in the overconsolidated region, but smaller with the increase in consolidation pressure.

Using the results of the Piezocone Penetration Test (PCPT) which were executed at the Yangsan-Mulgum site, the applicability of the interpretation methods for estimating the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) of soft clay was evaluated. At the same time, laboratory soil tests using the total of 172 undisturbed soft clay samples from the 44 regions of the Yangsan-Mulgum site were performed to study the differency in the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) compared to the results of PCPT. The calculated constrained modulus ($M_{\varepsilon}$) and coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) using the results of consolidation laboratory tests which are based upon the consolidation theory of Terzaghi were compared with the predicted constrained modulus ($M_p$) and coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) from the PCPT. The relationship between the predicted constrained modulus ($M_p$) and the calculated constrained modulus($M_c$) were showed good correlation. The $M_p$ by the Jones & Rust method were showed mostly similar to the calculated constrained modulus ($M_c$). The relationship between the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) obtained from the consolidation tests and the calculated coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) were showed a linear relationship. The results of the calculated coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) were about 54% of the value of the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) obtained from the consolidation tests.

We have remolded marine clay sample collected along the vertical and horizontal directions and investigated the characteristics of the consolidation constants by SCT and CRSC methods. We have studied also on consolidation chracteristics and application for weathered granite soil using SCT and CRSC methods for undisturbed and disturbed samples. As the result, values of pre-consolidation stress, compression index, excessive pore pressure, pore water pressure ratio of the marine-clay were different due to different test methods(SCT and CRSC) and sampling directions(vortical and horizontal directions). Disturbed and undisturbed samples of the weathered granite soil have showed similar change aspect like marine clay during over-consolidatied and normally consolidatied stages.

Side friction is often neglected in the analysis of the results of a consolidation test when the specimen has a high ratio of diameter to height. As the height of a specimen increases, however, side friction becomes important. This paper presents an investigation of the effect of side friction on consolidation test results for normally consolidated kaolinite slurry. Consolidation tests were performed to obtain settlement, pore pressure, compressibility, and hydraulic conductivity of kaolinite slurry. The compressibility relationship is corrected for side friction using a modified form of Taylor (1942) analytical solution. Numerical simulations using the CS2 piecewise-linear model are compared with settlement and excess pore pressure measurements. Experimental results show improved agreement with a modified CS2 model in which the effect of side friction is considered. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the side friction is an important factor affecting the rate of consolidation as well as the compressibility relationship for the specimen.

Using the results of the Piezocone Penetration Test(PCPT) which were executed at the Yangsan-Mulgum site, the applicability of the interpretation methods far estimating the OCR(Overconsolidation Ratio) of soft clay was evaluated. At the same time, the results from the laboratory tests using the total of 172 undisturbed soft clay samples taken from the 44 bore holes of the Yangsan-Mulgum site were used to compare the OCR values obtained from the consolidation test with those from the PCPT. The relationship between the predicted overconsolidation ratio($OCR_p$) using the PCPT and the measured overconsolidation ratio($OCR_c$) from the laboratory consolidation tests are investigated and presented in this study. The $OCR_p$ by using the Powell et al.'s method for non-fissured clay from the results of the PCPT shows the best relationship with the $OCR_c$ obtained from the laboratory consolidation test.

고유기질토의 정규압밀과 과입밀에 대한 압밀특성을 연구하기 위하여 전북지역에서 채취한 2종류의 고유기질토 IS와 YJ를 사용하여 일련의 실내 표준압밀시험과 반복압밀시험을 수행하였다. 전북지역 대표적인 고유기질토의 물리적 특성은 유기물함량이 각각 58%와 72%, 자연함수비 487%와 635%, 초기공극비 7.02와 9.72이었다. 표준압밀시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ , $C_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 선행하중을 경계로 일반 점토보다 크게 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀 시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 완만하게 감소하였으며 표준압밀시험결과보다는 작게 나타났다. 2단계 반복압밀의 경우 $C_{v}$ 는 정규압밀영역에서 표준압밀시험결과보다 약 10-12배정도 크게 나타났다. $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 각각 선행하중의 약 2.5배, 3배 하중을 정점으로 크게 증감하는 고유기질토 고유의 특성을 나타냈다. 고유기질토의 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 일반 점토보다 압밀압력 의존성이 큰 특성을 나타냈으며 최대값도 각각 2.9-3.8, 0.3-0.4로 일반 점토보다 큰 값을 보였다. 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀시험결과 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 약간 증가하였다. $C_{a}$ 는 OCR이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였으며 특히 OCR이 1-2 범위에서 감소폭이 크게 나타났다. 고유길토의 제압밀계수는 반복회수 및 하중의 크기 등에 따라서 큰 영향을 받으며 또한 과압밀 크기의 대소는 고유기질토의 $C_{a}$ 에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되어 이 분야에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

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.
