If a conventional type of Plastic Board Drain (PBD) is installed to the deep clay deposit, it is subjected to a high lateral earth pressure. a flow channel of PBD may be reduced by the collapse of cores and clogged by the intrusion of filter into the space between cores which are made by lateral pressure. It could decrease the ability of initial discharge capacity and the reliability of long term discharge capacity. A cylindrical plastic board drain (C-PBD) considered in this study consists of cylindrical core and several supports so that it can prevent the reduction of area of flow channel from the higher lateral earth pressure effectively. The discharge capacity of C-PBD was compared to that of a conventional PBD through performing experiments using the composite discharge capacity apparatus which can consider in-situ condition such as penetration of drains, ground settlement and discharge capacity. As a result, C-PBD showed much better performance than PBD in the ability of discharge. It was observed that the C-PBD was folded whereas the conventional PBD was folded after the experiment.

점성을 고려한 연약점토지반의 압밀거동을 파악하기 위해 플라스틱보드드레인(PBD)에 의해 개량된 연약점토지반의 압밀거동에 대한 탄점소성 3차원 수치해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 수치해석기법의 적용성은 기존에 실시한 모형실험의 결과와 수치해석의 결과를 비교함으로써 검증하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 연약점토지반의 침하 및 과잉간극수압의 소산거동, 유효응력증분의 변화 특성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 기존의 일차원 압밀해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 개량지반에서 발생하는 이차압밀특성을 평가하였다.

This paper is an experimental result of investigating lateral soil movements at piled bridge abutments by using the centrifuge model facility. Three different centrifuge model experiments, changing the methods of ground improvement at bridge abutment on the soft clayey soil (no improvement, preconsolidation and plastic board drains (PBD), sand compaction pile (SCP) + PBD), were carried out to figure out which method is the most appropriate for resisting against the lateral soil movements. In the centrifuge modelling, construction process in field was reconstructed as close as possible. Displacements of abutment model, ground movement, vertical earth pressure, cone resistance after soil improvement and distribution of water content were monitored during and after centrifuge model tests. As results of centrifuge model experiments, preconsolidation method with PBD was found to be the most effective against the lateral soil movement by analyzing results about displacements of abutment model, ground movement and cone resistance. Increase of shear strength by preconsolidation method resulted in increasing the resistance against lateral soil movement effectively although SCP could mobilize the resistance against lateral soil movement. It was also found that installment with PBD beneath the backfill of bridge abutment induced effective drainage of excess pore water pressure during the consolidation by embanking at the back of the abutment and resulted in increasing the shear strength of clay soil foundation and eventually increasing the resistance of lateral soil movement against piles of bridge abutment.
