Recently construction work in Korea, demands of favorable condition ground had been increased with industrialization acceleration and economic growth. However, because of limited land space, it was so hard to ensure favorable condition grounds that construction work proceeds until soft ground area on plans of road, railroad and industrial complex. In this case, soft ground improvement was required such as a stone column method. Stone column method, making a compaction pile using crushed stone, is a soft ground improvement method. However, stone column method is difficult to apply to the ground which is not mobilized enough lateral confine pressure because no bulging failure resistance. Hence, in present study, evaluates the stone columns reinforced by geogrid for settlement reduction and wide range of application of stone columns. Triaxial compression tests were conducted for evaluation which is about behavior characteristics of stone column on replacement rate. Then, 3-dimensional numerical analysis were conducted for application of stone column reinforced by geogrid as evaluate behavior characteristics and settlement reduction effect of stone column reinforced by geogrid on reinforcing depth change of geogrid.

The stone column method is widely used in Europe as an alternative to conventional pile foundations. Several benefits of using the stone column method include sound performance, low cost, expediency of construction, and liquiefaction resistance, among others. Recently, geosynthetic-encased stone column approach has been developed to improve its' load carrying capacity through increasing confinement effect. Although such a concept has successfully applied in practice, fundamentals of the method have not been fully explored. This Paper Presents the results of an investigation on the loading carriying capacity of geogrid-encased stone column using a series of 2D finite element analyses. The results of the analyses indicated improved short- and long-term carrying capacity of the geogrid-encased stone column method over the conventional strone column method with no encasing.

Stone column is one of the soft ground improvement method, which enhances ground conditions through ground water draining, settlement reducing and bearing capacity increasing complexly by using crushed stone instead of sand in general vertical drain methods. In recent, general construction material, sand is in short of supply, because of the unbalance of demand and supply. Also, the bearing capacity improving effect of stone column method is needed in many cases so the bearing capacity estimation is considered as important point. Nevertheless, adequate estimation methods to predict bearing capacity of stone column considering stone column and improving ground behavior reciprocally is not yet prepared. To contribute this situation, bearing capacity behavior of stone column were simulated as numerically on various property cases of crushed stone and surrounded ground. Through the numerical analysis of simulation results, bearing capacity behavior prediction formula was suggested. This formula was verified by comparing the prediction result with in situ test.

모래다짐말뚝 및 쇄석말뚝 공법의 경우, 연약지반의 보강, 극한지지력의 증대 및 기초지반의 압밀을 가속화시키기 위한 목적으로 지난 수십 년간 폭넓게 적용되고 있다. 쇄석말뚝공법은 비교적 강성이 크고 압축성이 작은 쇄석 등을 이용하여 다짐말뚝을 형성, 연약지반을 개량하는 공법이지만 횡방향 구속압력이 충분하게 발휘되지 않는 지반에서는 팽창파괴(bulging failure)에 대한 저항이 없어 적용이 불가능하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쇄석말뚝의 활용도를 높이기 위해 팽창파괴 및 전단파괴 등을 방지하여 침하량을 상당부분 억제시킬 수 있는 고강도 지오그리드 보강 쇄석말뚝공법을 개발하였다. 본 공법 개발을 위해 삼축압축시험을 통하여 치환율 및 구속압력에 따른 일반적인 쇄석말뚝의 거동특성을 우선 살펴보았다. 아울러 유한요소 해석을 통한 3차원 수치해석을 시행하여 지오그리드의 종류 및 지오그리드 보강심도변화에 따른 지오그리드 보강 쇄석말뚝공법의 거동특성 및 침하저감효과를 평가함으로써 지오그리드 보강 쇄석말뚝의 적용성을 평가해 보았다.

The stone columns are increasingly being used as a soil improvement method for supporting a wide variety of structures (such as road embankment, buildings, storage tanks etc.) especially built on soft soil. Soil improvement by the stone column method overcomes the settlement problem and low stability. Nevertheless, stone column in very soft soils may not be functional due to insufficient lateral confinement. The required lateral confinement can be overcome by encasing the stone column with a suitable geosynthetic. Encasement of stone columns with geogrid is one of the ideal forms of improving the performance of stone columns. This paper presents the results of a series of experimental tests and numerical analysis to investigate the behavior of stone columns with and without geogrid encasement in soft clay deposits. A total of six small scale laboratory tests were carried out using circular footing with diameters of 0.05 m and 0.1 m. In addition, a well-known available software program called PLAXIS was used to numerical analysis, which was validated by the experimental tests. After good validation, detailed of parametric studies were performed. Different parameters such as bearing capacity of stone columns with and without geogrid encasement, stiffness of geogrid encasement, depth of encasement from ground level, diameter of stone columns, internal friction angle of crushed stone and lateral bulging of stone columns were analyzed. As a result of this study, stone column method can be used in the improvement of soft ground and clear development in the bearing capacity of the stone column occurs due to geogrid encasement. Moreover, the bearing capacity is effected from the diameter of the stone column, the angle of internal friction, rigidity of the encasement, and depth of encasement. Lateral bulging is minimized by geogrid encasement and effected from geogrid rigidity, depth of encasement and diameter of the stone column.

Stone column is a soil improvement method and can be applicable for loose sand or weak cohesive soil. Since the lack of sand in Korea, stone column seems one of the most adaptable approach for poor ground as a soil improvement method. However, this method was not studied for practical application. In this paper, the most effective design parameters for the being capacity of stone column were studied. The parametric study of major design factors for single stone column was carried out under the bulging and general shear failure condition, respectively. Especially, a test result of single stone column by static load was compared with the bearing capacity values of suggested formulas. The analysis result showed that the ultimate bearing capacity by the formula was much less than the measured value by the static load test. Especially, the result of the parametric study under general shear failure condition showed that the bearing capacity has apparent difference between each suggested formulas with the variation of the major design parameters. Therefore, the result of this study can be a suggestion which is applicable for the field test and the future research.

연약지반 개량공법의 하나인 쇄석기둥은 일반 연직배수공법에 주로 사용되는 모래재료 대신에 쇄석재료를 사용하며 배수 및 침하량 감소, 지지력 증대의 복합 효과에 의해 지반을 개량한다. 최근 들어 대규모 토목공사에 사용되는 건설재료로서 막대한 양이 소요되는 모래는 현재 수요는 급증하고 구득은 갈수록 어려워져 재료는 고갈상태에 이르고 있는 실정으로서 쇄석기둥공법의 적용이 더욱 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 최근 들어 쇄석기둥의 지지력 보강효과를 이용하는 경향이 증가함에 따라 지지력 보강 예측이 중요한 관심사항으로 대두되었으나 아직까지 주변지반과 쇄석기둥 구조체의 상호 거동을 합리적으로 반영한 산정식이 제시되어있지 못한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연약지반상에 조성된 쇄석기둥에 의한 개량효과중 지지력 증대효과를 규명하기 위해 쇄석기둥의 지지력 거동을 수치해석적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 쇄석기둥이 설치되는 원지반의 물성과 쇄석기둥의 물성을 반영하면서 하중-침하거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 수치해석 시뮬레이션에 의한 지지력 거동을 원지반조건, 쇄석기둥 조건별로 분석하여 쇄석기둥의 지지력 거동식을 제안하고 제안된 지지력 예측방법과 거동을 계측한 실측치와의 검증을 실시하였다.
