This study performs a series of Triaxial Compression Test for clay-sand composite specimens changing area replacement ratio. Purpose of the test is to conform the propriety of weighted average method in estimating shear strength of the composite ground. The test results show that measured values of shear strength of composite specimens are larger by 20∼30% than those from estimation using the current weighted average method. It is thought that the differences are from pseudo-overconsolidation behavior of composite specimens.

Sand Compaction Pile(SCP) is a soil improvement method that a sand charge is introduced into the pipe, and the pipe is withdrawn part away while the sand pile is compacted and its diameter is enlarged. The sand used in this method should be of good quality. In Korea, crushed stone and washed sea sand are used frequently in SCP. However, use of these materials is restricted because of environmental problem and deficiency of supply. In the copper smelting process, about 0.7 million tons of copper slag are produced in Korea. The range of particle size distribution of copper slag is from 0.15mm to 5mm, so it can be a substitute for sand, and the relatively high specific gravity compared with the sand, is its characteristic. Copper slag is hyaline and so stable environmentally that in foreign country, such as Japan, Germany etc., it is widely used in harbor, revetment and offshore structure construction works. Therefore, in this study, the several laboratory tests were peformed to evaluate the applicability of copper slag as a substitute for sand of SCP. From the mechanical property test, the characteristics of sand and copper slag were compared and analyzed, and from laboratory model test, the strength of composite ground was compared and analyzed by monitoring the stress and ground settlement of clay, SCP and copper slag compaction pile. Specially, this study focused on the application of copper slag as sand substitute in SCP pilot tests based on laboratory tests results.

Pebble matrix filtration (PMF) is a water treatment technology that can remove suspended solids in highly turbid surface water during heavy storms. PMF typically uses sand and natural pebbles as filter media. Hand-made clay pebbles (balls) can be used as alternatives to natural pebbles in PMF treatment plants, where natural pebbles are not readily available. Since the high turbidity is a seasonal problem that occurs during heavy rains, the use of newly developed composite clay balls instead of pure clay balls have the advantage of removing other pollutants such as natural organic matter (NOM) during other times. Only the strength properties of composite clay balls are described here as the pollutant removal is beyond the scope of this paper. These new composite clay balls must be able to withstand dead and live loads under dry and saturated conditions in a filter assembly. Absence of a standard ball preparation process and expected strength properties of composite clay balls were the main reasons behind the present study. Five different raw materials from industry wastes: Red Mud (RM), Water Treatment Alum Sludge (S), Shredded Paper (SP), Saw Dust (SD), and Sugar Mulch (SM) were added to common clay brick mix (BM) in different proportions. In an effort to minimize costs, in this study clay balls were fired to $1100^{\circ}C$ at a local brick factory together with their bricks. A comprehensive experimental program was performed to evaluate crushing strength of composite hand-made clay balls, using uniaxial compression test to establish the best material combination on the basis of strength properties for designing sustainable filter media for water treatment plants. Performance at both construction and operating stages were considered by analyzing both strength properties under fully dry conditions and strength degradation after saturation in a water bath. The BM-75% as the main component produced optimum combination in terms of workability and strength. With the material combination of BM-75% and additives-25%, the use of Red Mud and water treatment sludge as additives produced the highest and lowest strength of composite clay balls, with a failure load of 5.4 kN and 1.4 kN respectively. However, this lower value of 1.4 kN is much higher than the effective load on each clay ball of 0.04 kN in a typical filter assembly (safety factor of 35), therefore, can still be used as a suitable filter material for enhanced pollutant removal.

SCP 개량지반은 연약지반에 타설된 모래말뚝과 주변 연약지반으로 구성된 복합지반을 형성한다. 복합지반에 상재하중이 작용할 경우, SCP쪽으로 반경방향의 흐름에 의하여 시간의존적인 압밀거동이 유발될 뿐만 아니라, SCP와 주변 연약지반 사이에서 강성도 차이로 인하여 응력전이가 유발된다. 본 논문은 SCP 개량지반의 압밀거동에 대한 교란효과의 영향을 고려하기 위하여 원통형 실린더 지반에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과 연약지반의 교란영역은 유효응력-간극수압의 거동, 응력전이기구, 응력분담비에 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 또한 SCP와 점토 사이의 응력전이량은 상부 z/H=0.25에서 가장 크며, 깊이가 증가함에 따라 감소한다. 응력분담비는 상수값이 아니라 압밀과정에 의존하며, 교란영역을 가진 연약지반의 응력분담비는 교란영역이 없는 연약지반의 응력분담비보다 큼을 알 수 있다.

현재 국내에서는 항만공사 등에서 안전측으로 70% 이상의 고치환율의 모래다짐말뚝(SCP)공법으로 설계 및 시공이 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 모래자원의 부족현상으로 인한 모래자원의 경제성을 극복하기 위하여 저치환율 모래다짐말뚝공법으로 대체가 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 모래다짐말뚝공법은 연약한 점성토 지반이나 사질토 지반을 개량하기 위하여 사용되고 있다. 점성토 지반의 SCP 설계 시에 가장 중요한 과제의 하나는 치환율에 따른 모래와 점토의 응력분담비를 결정하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 모래다짐말뚝과 점성토로 이루어진 복합지반에서 치환율에 따라 응력분담비, 침하량을 파악하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램을 사용하여 2차원 수치해석을 실시하였다. 해석결과, 치환율이 30%일때 응력분담비가 가장 크게 나타났고 침하량에 따른 응력분담비는 치환율이 높을수록 낮은 응력분담비를 보였다.

This study developed two dimensional finite element program(FE-SCP) for the analysis of a composite ground reinforced by sand compaction piles with a low area replacement ratio based on the Mohr-Coulomb elastic perfectly plastic constitutive model. Program FE-SCP give some conveniences to users such as automatic mesh generation according to the replacement ratio and the effective sand pile diameter in the post processor. Also, it contains optimum processor in calculation of In-situ stress equilibrium considering different coefficient of earth pressure between sand pile and surrounding clay. Estimated stress-strain behavior using FE-SCP and the measured one from a centrifuge test showed good agreement comparing to the result from a general finite element program.

Centrifuge model experiments were performed to investigate the confining effects of the sheet piles, installed to the sides of soft clay ground treated with sand compaction piles, on the bearing capacity and concentration ratio of composite ground. For the given g-level in the centrifuge model tests, replacement ratio of SCP and the width of surcharge loads on the surface of ground with SCP, the confining effects of installing the sheet piles on the edges of SCP ground on the bearing capacity, change of stress concentration ratio and failure mechanism were investigated. Kaolin, one of typical clay mineral, and Jumunjin standard sand were used as a soft clay ground and sand compaction pile irrespectively. As results of experiments, lateral confining effect by inserting the model sheet piles fixed to the loading plate was observed. For the strip surcharge loading condition, the yielding stress intensity in the form of the strip surcharge loads tends to increase with increasing the embedded depth of sheet piles. The stress concentration ratio was found not to be influenced consistently with the embedded depth of sheet piles whereas the effect of stress intensity on stress concentration ratio shows the general trend that values of stress concentration ratio are relatively high at the initial stage of loading and tend to decrease and converge to the certain values. For the failure mechanism in the case of reinforced with sheet piles, displacement behavior related to the punching failure, settlement right beneath the loading plate occurred since the soil was confined with sheet piles, was observed.

This paper is experimental and numerical research results of performing centrifuge model tests to investigate the geotechnical engineering behavior of slag compaction pile as a substitute of sand compaction pile. In order to find the geotechnical engineering characteristics of the soft clay and the slag used in centrifuge model experiments, basic soil property tests, consolidation test, permeability tests and triaxial compression tests were performed. For centrifuge model tests, slags with changing relative density were used and their bearing capacity, stress concentrations in between pile and soft clay, settlement characteristics, and failure modes were investigated. As a results of centrifuge model tests, it was found that the bearing, capacity of model was increased with increasing density of slag pile and general shear failures were occured. Miniature soil pressure gauges were installed on model pile and soft ground respectively and thus vertical stress acting on them were measured. Stress concentration ratio was found to be in the range of 2.0~3.0. Bearing capacity obtained from the model test with slag was greater than that from the model test with a sand having the identical layout to each other. Thus it was confirmed the slag was an appropriate substitution of pile for sand.
