단일코어 연직 배수재 공법은 현재까지 폭넓게 사용되는 연약지반 개량공법이다. 그러나 얇은 플라스틱 보드 형태의 PBD 구조로 인해 압밀 도중 큰 횡 방향 토압과 이에 따른 necking 현상이 발생하고 이는 PBD의 통수능을 감소시킨다. 본 연구 대상인 부산신항만 조성 공사현장은 대심도의 연약지반으로서 PBD 설치 시, 큰 횡 방향 토압에 의한 통수능 감소를 예상되어 통수능 감소현상을 극복하기 위하여 이중코어 PBD를 도입, 시공하고, 기존 형태의 단일코어 PBD를 동시에 설치한 후, 현장에서의 배수재 성능을 비교분석하였다. 실내실험으로는 개량 델프트 실험을 수행하여 연직배수재의 통수능을 측정하고, 현장에서 채취한 시료를 이용해 기본 물성실험 및 CRS 압밀시험을 수행하여 수치 해석 프로그램인 ILLICON에 적용하여 침하거동 양상을 파악하였다. 개량 델프트 실험에서는 이중코어 PBD의 통수능이 단일코어 PBD보다 높게 측정되었으나, 현장 계측 및 수치해석에서는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이는 일발전인 대심도 지반에서 압밀시 발생되는 물의 배수량은 상대적으로 작은 단일코어 PBD의 통수능 범위 보다도 작기 때문에 실제 현장에서는 단일코어 PBD와 이중코어 PBD의 성능차이가 없음을 확인하였다.

Prefabricated Board Drains (PBDs) recently become more widely used than conventional sand drains in improving soft ground because the PBD is more time and cost effective. The performance of PBDs is affected by disturbance in the adjacent soil formation during inserting mandrels, the intrusion of fine particles into filter fabric, and necking of the drain by excessive lateral pressure especially occurring in very deep clay formation such as the Busan New Port site. In this study, the PBD with double-core is introduced, which seems to overcome the shortcomings of usual single-core PBDs. An in-situ test program was established in the Busan New Port site, in which a set of the double-core PBDs and the single-core PBDs was installed to compare the efficiency of each of the drains. The discharge capacity of the double-core and the single-core PBDs was compared for various confining pressures in the modified Delft test and the chamber test. A series of CRS consolidation tests was performed in order to obtain profiles of void ratio-effective stress and void ratio-permeability relationships in the Busan New Port site that are used as input date in performing a numerical program ILLICON. The numerically simulated settlements of ground surface in the test site are in good agreement with those of in-situ measurements. In addition, the performance of the double-core and single-core PBDs has been experimentally and numerically compared in this paper.

The vacuum consolidation method which was proposed by Kjellman in 1952 has been studied extensively and used successfully since early 1980 throughout the world, especially in East and Southeast Asia. Despite the increased successful use, different opinions still exist, especially in connection to distribution of vacuum with depth and time in vertical drains and in soil during preloading of soft ground. Porewater pressure measurements from actual cases of field vacuum and vacuum-fill preloading as well as laboratory studies have been examined. It is concluded that (a) a vacuum magnitude equal to that in the drainage blanket remains constant with depth and time within the vertical drains, (b) as expected, vacuum does not develop at the same rate within the soil at different depths; however, under ideal conditions vacuum is expected to become constant with depth in soil after the end of primary consolidation, and (c) there exists a possibility of internal leakage in vacuum intensity at some sublayers of a soft clay and silt deposit. A case history of vacuum loading with sufficient subsurface information is analyzed using the ILLICON procedure.
