The prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) are one of the most widely used techniques to accelerate the consolidation of soft clay deposits and dredged soil. Discharge capacity is one of the factors affecting the behavior of PVDs. In the field, a PVD is confined by clay or dredged soil, which is normally remolded during PVD installation. Under field conditions, soil particles may enter the PVD drainage channels, and the consolidation settlement of the improved subsoil may cause 131ding of the PVD. These factors will affect the discharge capacity of the PVDs. In this study an experimental study was carried out to estimate the discharge capacity of three different types of PVDs by utilizing the large-scale laboratory model testing and small-scale laboratory model testing equipments. The several factors such as confinement condition (confined by soft marine clay or dredged soil) and variations of the discharge capacity were studied with time under soil specimen confinement, The test results indicated that discharge capacity decreases with increasing load, time, and hydraulic gradient. With load application, the cross-sectional area of the drainage channel of PVD decreases because the filter of PVD is pressed into the core. The discharge capacity of the soft marine clay-confined PVDs is much lower than that of the dredged soil-confined PVDs.

This paper aims at investigating the characteristics of discharge capacity according to lateral pressure, hydraulic gradient and deformation of drain materials. A series of experiments were conducted to achieve this objective. In experiments, fiver drain boards as well as harmonica and castle types of drain boards were installed in a rubber membrane, and clay in sully was filled around them. The test results showed that the harmonica type of drain boards have the greatest discharge capacity comparing to castle and fiber drain boards. The results also indicated that the hydraulic gradient has more effect on reduction of discharge capacity than the lateral pressure.

The discharge capacity testing apparatus using penetration method, being able to simulate in laboratory the condition of embedding plastic board drains in field, was developed to investigate consolidation characteristics of ground and to figure out discharge capacity of drains. The developed apparatus with a mandrel and penetrating device was designed to insert PBD into the ground prepared by previously applied pressure, being different from the conventional testing method that the drain was installed and the ground material was poured subsequently. Discharge capacity tests with the conventional apparatus as well as the newly developed one were performed to assess the applicability of the latter. As a result of tests, the conventional method showed delayed consolidation due to overall disturbance of ground and local deformation of drain caused by inhomogeneity of ground. Therefore discharge capacity of drain with the conventional apparatus was measured more or less larger than the expected values whereas discharge capacity with new one could be measured similar to the actual value in field.

Recently, the demand for industrial and residental land are increasing with economic growth, but it is difficult to obtain the area for development with good ground condition. Various kinds of vertical drain technologies such as sand drain, sand compaction pile, packed drain, PVD are commercially available to improve the soft ground. Discharge capacity is the important factor of vertical drains. However, under field conditions, discharge capacity is changed with various reasons, such as soil condition, overburden pressure, and so on. In this paper, the experimental study was carried out to estimate the discharge capacity of four different types of PBD, PBD for double core PBD, deep type PBD, X type PBD, general type PBD. Characteristics of the discharge capacity for the surcharge load and hydraulic gradient were analysed. The double core PBD was excellent for discharge capacity in this study.

본 연구는 자연하천에서 직렬보 설치에 따른 배수위 계산을 실시하여 여러 가지 수리특성인자들의 결과와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 자연수위에 따른 통수단면적보다 수위증가로 인한 통수단면적의 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 유속을 포함한 다른 수리특성인자의 영향은 다소 적은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 보(weir)를 설치할 경우 다른 수리특성인자보다 수위상승에 따른 통수단면의 통수능력이 먼저 검토되어야 할 것이다. 또한 자연하도에 비해 수중보 설치에 의한 상류의 수위상승 종단거리가 예상치보다 매우 크게 나타나고 있었기 때문에 보 설치에 따른 종단거리의 영향을 파악하여 제방설계를 실시해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 보의 설치는 수위증가로 인한 용수확보, 수변공간 확보 등 많은 이점이 있으나, 홍수시의 하도통수능력 고려, 오염물질의 퇴적으로 인한 수질오염 방지 그리고 갈수시에 하천의 유지용수 확보 등을 고려한 신중한 분석 검토를 해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Laboratory testings were carried out on plastic board drains (PBDs) using large scale test apparatus to evaluate the physical properties and the drainage performance. The test results reveal that the domestic products of PBDs are well compared with the foreign prod acts as far as the quality and drainage performance are concerned. It has also been confirmed that the discharge capacity decreases with time in such a way that the air bubbles are entrapped inside kinky PBDs and these air bubbles block the water flow through PBDs. It has been found that the vacuum pressure iseffectively applicable to recover the discharge capacity affected by the entrapped air bubbles.

최근 전 세계적으로 국지적 집중호우의 강도 및 발생빈도가 증가하고 있고, 이로 인한 인명 및 재산피해가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 도시유역의 침수는 설계빈도를 초과한 강우가 짧은 지속기간에 집중되었을 때 관로의 통수능력을 초과하게 되어 발생하거나, 주변 하천의 수위상승으로 인한 배수효과로 인해 발생된다. 따라서 기상이변으로 인한 침수피해를 체계적이고 종합적으로 방지할 수 있는 수방대책 수립이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 서울시 주요 침수유역의 관망 및 펌프장의 수방 대응능력 및 수준을 정량적으로 평가하고자 한다. 이에 서울시의 과거 침수사례를 조사하여 상습침수 구역에 대한 침수 해석범위를 결정하였고 내수침수모의를 위한 적정 홍수해석모형으로 SWMM모형을 선정하였다 또한 수문 기상자료, 지형정보자료, 수방시설 현황 자료 등 각종 기초자료를 조사 및 구축하고 과거 큰 호우사상을 대상으로 관망과 펌프장의 시설능력을 평가를 수행하였다. 평가 결과 대부분 우수관망의 통수능력 한계로 인한 침수가 발생한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 분석을 통해 관망 및 펌프장 시설의 개선, 확충 및 설계 기준을 새롭게 제시하고 유역별 홍수취약정도에 따른 수방기준 차별화를 통해 침수피해를 방지할수 있는 수방대책 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
