샌드심(Sand seam)은 점성토 지층속에 모래층이 층상으로 존재하는 것으로 점토가 침강 퇴적하는 과정중에 하천의 범람이나 사면활동 등에 의하여 모래 성분이 유입되어 생성된 것으로 알려져 있다. 연약지반내에 샌드심이 존재할 경우 일방향 배수에서 양방향 배수가 되기 때문에 압밀시간이 단축이 가능하다 판단되어지나, 샌드심에 대해 연구가 국내외적으로 미진하여 연약지반개량 설계 시 이를 설계에 제대로 반영 못하는 실정이다. 본 연구는 샌드심에 대한 기초연구로 얇은 모래층(샌드심)이 존재하는 점토 시료에 대해 표준압밀시험과 Rowe cell을 이용한 일정변형률시험을 수행하였다. 시험을 위해 냉동법을 이용한 특별히 고안된 샌드심 제작방법을 제시하였다. 시험 결과 샌드심이 점토지반에 존재 시 압밀계수에 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 샌드심의 높이가 시료높이의 0.05배 이상이면 샌드심이 충분한 배수층 역할을 하여 간극수의 배수방향이 수평방향뿐만 아니라 수직배수가 함께 진행되어 압밀이 빠르게 진행되는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 증가되고 있는 준설 및 매립지반의 해안 공사에서 토목섬유매트 활용이 많아짐에 따라 연약지반의 지지력에 대한 산정은 안전성 평가를 위한 중요한 지표이다. 지반 개량을 위해 토목섬유매트와 복토층을 포설하여 이질층으로 구성된 연약지반의 허용지지력 검토는 일반적으로 Meyerhof(1974)와 Yamanouchi(1985) 방정식을 비교한다. Meyerhof(1974) 수식 결과는 허용지지력의 과소평가로 경제적인 손실을 초래하며, Yamanouchi(1985) 수식은 펀칭전단파괴에 대한 안전사고를 고려하지 않아 다소 큰 지지력을 평가한다. 토목섬유매트의 봉합인장강도를 설계기준에 적용하여 적절한 허용지지력을 산정하는 수정방정식을 제안함으로서 경제성과 안정성을 확보할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 2단계 확정예정부지의 일부 원지반에서 수행된 CPTu(piezocone penetration test)와 DMT(dilatometer) 및 실내시험 결과를 바탕으로 흙의 분류, 비배수전단강도 그리고 압밀계수 등의 공학적 특성을 살펴보았다. CPTu와 DMT를 이용한 흙의 분류 결과, 점토층 사이에 얇게 산재한 샌드심(sand seam)층을 보다 정확하게 판정할 수 있었다. 삼축압축시험의 비배수 강도($S_{u}$ )를 기준으로 산정한 콘계수는 CPTu의 경우 $N_{k}$ =18.2를, DMT의 경우 Roque(1988)의 제안식을 이용한 $N_{c}$=6.35로 추정한 비배수전단강도가 비교적 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 CPTu와 DMT를 이용한 수평압밀계수는 비교적 근사한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 해성점토사이에 실트, 샌드심이 존재하는 실트질 지반에서의 수평압밀계수가 연직압밀계수보다 상당히 크며, 압밀계수비($C_{h(Oedo, CPTu, DMT)}$ /$C_{v Oedo}$ )는 4.3~10.2로 큰 차이를 보이고 있다.

This study concentrates on the 301 comprehensive caving working face, notable for its considerable mining height. The roof model is established by integrating prior geological data and the latest borehole rock stratum's physical and mechanical parameters. This comprehensive approach enables the determination of lithology, thickness, and mechanical properties of the roof within 50 m of the primary mining coal seam. Utilizing the transfer rock beam theory and incorporating mining pressure monitoring data, the study delves into the geometric parameters of the direct roof, basic roof movement, and roof pressure during the initial mining process of the 301 comprehensive caving working face. The direct roof of the mining working face is stratified into upper and lower sections. The lower direct roof consists of 6.0 m thick coarse sandstone, while the upper direct roof comprises 9.2 m coarse sandstone, 2.6 m sandy mudstone, and 2.8 m medium sandstone. The basic roof stratum, totaling 22.1 m in thickness, includes layers such as silty sand, medium sandstone, sandy mudstone, and coal. The first pressure step of the basic roof is 61.6 m, with theoretical research indicating a maximum roof pressure of 1.62 MPa during periodic pressure. Extensive simulations and analyses of roof subsidence and advanced abutment pressure under varying working face lengths. Optimal roof control effect is observed when the mining face length falls within the range of 140 m-155 m. This study holds significance as it optimizes the working face length in thick coal seams, enhancing safety and efficiency in coal mining operations.

Piezocone Penetration Test has been performed in the soft ground over the site preparation area at Inchon International Airport(IIA). With the pore pressure dissipation test results, the changes in the permeability and the coefficient of consolidation in clayey soil were checked and the differences of the undrained shear stength verified the soft ground improvement effect from vane test and piezocone test both before and after the improvement. From the results, thin sand seam was found and this caused a big difference in the coefficient of permeability and consolidation. The coefficient of consolidation was high in the upper marine deposit and relatively low in lower marine deposit. It was found that the reduction of void ratio by preloading resulted in the reduction of coefficient of consolidation after the ground improvement. In addition, there were some variations of undrained shear strength when the number of 15 or 18 was used as the coefficient of piezocone(Nkt). However, when the average value of undrained shear strength calculated using Nkt=10 was applied, the result indicated the similar average value with the result of vane test and the increasing rate of strength( Δsu/Δ$\sigma$≒0.38) also showed the similar distribution.

Experiments both in laboratory and field were performed to compare and analyze the characteristics of alluvial clay. The alluvial clay was sampled in test site in which large-scaled tests for the part of the site are under process to suggest the rational method for alluvial clay and the criterion for ground settlement monitoring system. The followings were observed through the experiments : 1. Natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit of alluvial clay composed of highly fine grains were 40~80%, 10~20%, and 30~55%, respectively. The values of these properties were relatively small at the ground surface, while the values showed maximum at G.L.- l0m and gradually decreased below the level. 2. Shear strength of alluvial clay was proportionally increased to the depth. Unconfined and triaxial compressive strengths were 0.2~0.6kgf/$cm^2$ and 0.1~0.3kgf/$cm^2$, respectively. 3. Compression index and secondary compression index showed maximum values at G.L.-l0m and gradually decreased below the level. The value of consolidation coefficient was relatively large at the ground surface, constant with decreasing the depth, and incresed when G.L. was below -20m. 4. Piezocone test appeared that alluvial clay with N value of 2~4 was uniformly distributed with 20~ 30m thickness from the ground surface, sand seam was nonuniformly distributed, and penetration pore pressure was 0.8 ~ 1 times of the hydrostatic pressure. Undrained shear strength and consolidation coefficient were 0.04 ~ 0.76kgf / $cm^2$ and $2.88{\times} 10{^-4}~1.3{\times} 10{^-2} cm^2/s$ respectively.

A study of the evolution of overburden fractures under the solid-fluid coupling state was conducted based on the geological and mining characteristics of the coal seam depth, weak strata cementation, and high-intensity mining in the mining areas of West China. These mining characteristics are key to achieving water conservation during mining or establishing groundwater reservoirs in coal mines. Based on the engineering background of the Daliuta Coal Mine, a non-hydrophilic simulation material suitable for simulating the weakly cemented rock masses in this area was developed, and a physical simulation test was carried out using a water-sand gushing test system. The study explored the spatial distribution and dynamic evolution of the fractured zone in the mining overburden under the coupling of stress and seepage. The experimental results show that the mining overburden can be vertically divided into the overall migration zone, the fracture extension zone and the collapse zone; additionally, in the horizontal direction, the mining overburden can be divided into the primary fracture zone, periodic fracture zone, and stop-fracture zone. The scope of groundwater flow in the overburden gradually expands with the mining of coal seams. When a stable water inrush channel is formed, other areas no longer generate new channels, and the unstable water inrush channels gradually close. Finally, the primary fracture area becomes the main water inrush channel for coal mines. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overlying rock breaking above the middle of the mined-out area allows the formation of the water-conducting channel. The water body will flow into the fracture extension zone with the shortest path, resulting in the occurrence of water bursting accidents in the mining face. The experimental research results provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of water conservation mining or the establishment of groundwater reservoirs in western mining areas, and this theoretical basis has considerable application and promotion value.

점토층 사이에 존재하는 모래 협재층은 연약지반 거동에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 협재층은 주로 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$)에서 측정된 지반의 저항력과 간극수압 값을 이용하여 평가하고 있지만, 높은 해상도를 위하여 소형 콘이 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 연약지반에 얇게 분포된 협재층을 선단저항력, 주면마찰력 그리고 전기비저항을 이용하여 평가할 수 있는 전기비저항 콘(Cone Resistivity Penetrometer, CRP)을 개발하고 적용하는 것이다. CRP는 각각 실내실험(단면적: $0.78cm^2$, 직경: 1.0cm)과 현장실험(단면적: $1.76cm^2$, 직경: 1.5cm)에 활용되도록 제작하였으며, 길이는 표준 콘(단면적: $10cm^2$, 직경: 3.57cm)의 단면적과 마찰부의 면적비를 고려하여 제작하였다. 실내실험은 모래와 점토가 반복적으로 조성된 다층의 층상탐지 셀을 사용하여 각 지층의 경계면을 탐사하였으며, 현장실험은 광양지역에서 심도 6m부터 15m까지 관입실험을 수행하였다. CRP는 실내실험에서 측정된 선단저항력과 전기비저항으로 조성된 시료의 각 지층 경계면을 뚜렷하게 평가하였으며, 현장실험에서는 3개의 협재층을 탐지하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CRP는 실내 및 현장결과 적용성이 뛰어나 추후 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.
