The pozzolanic characteristics of a sludge incinerated into ash were determined in this study. Lime is commonly used as a stabilizer for the treatment of soils, whereas sewage sludge ash (SSA) is often applied with lime to improve soft subgrade soil. In this study, a cohesive soil categorized as A-4 (low-plasticity clay) by AASHTO classifications was mixed with SSA/lime with a 3:1 ratio. Nano-$SiO_2$ was also added to the soil. To identify changes in the workability, strength, permeability, and shear strength of the soft subgrade soil, basic soil tests were conducted, and the microstructure of the treated soil was analyzed. The results indicate that SSA/lime mixtures improve the properties of soft subgrade soil and transform the soil from "poor subgrade soil" to "good to excellent subgrade soil" with a CBR > 8. Additionally, the addition of 2% nano-$SiO_2$ increases the unconfined compressive strength of soft subgrade soil treated with SSA/lime mixture by approximately 17 kPa. However, the swelling of the treated soil increased by approximately 0.1% after the addition of nano-$SiO_2$ and lime. Thus, soil swelling should be considered before lime and nano-$SiO_2$ are applied to soft subgrade soil.

우리나라 서남권에 해당하는 서해안고속도로가 통과하는 전라북도 고창지역은 점토분이 많아 내포돼 있는 황토가 많다. 황토는 수박이나 고구마 같은 작물의 재배에는 양질의 토사이지만, 도로를 구축하기 위한 노상재료로 사용하는데는 원하는 강도값을 얻기가 힘들 토사였다. 이 연구 대상구간의 지역은 절토부의 노상재료가 원하는 재료의 품질기준을 충족시키지 못하였다. 노상층의 재료 특성을 보면, ＃200번체 통과량이 25～82％정도로 지하수위가 거의 노상면과 일치하여 자연함수비 과다로 시공시 노상토의 지지력 확보가 불가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 이와 같이 지지력이 부족한 현장에 적절한 절토부 노상지지력의 확보방안을 수립하여 원하는 공정을 추진함으로서 보다 안전하고 튼튼한 고속도로를 건설하는데 있었다.

우리나라 서남권에 해당하는 서해안고속도로의 한 부분에 해당하는 전라북도 고창지역은 점토분이 많이 내포돼 있는 황토가 많다. 황토는 수박이나 고구마 같은 작물의 재배에는 양질의 토사이지만, 도로를 구축하기 위한 노상재료로 사용하는데는 원하는 강도값을 얻기가 힘들어 많은 애를 먹인다. 본 연구는 대상구간의 지역은 절토부의 노상재료가 원하는 재료의 품질기준을 충족시키지 못하였다. 노상층의 재료 특성을 보면, ＃200번체 통과량이 25∼82％정도이며 지하수위가 거의 노상면과 일치하여 자연함수비 과다로 시공시 노상토의 지지력 확보가 불가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 이와 같이 지지력이 부족한 현장에 적절한 절토부 노상지지력의 확보방안을 세워 원하는 공정을 추진함으로서 보다 안전하고 튼튼한 고속도로를 건설하는데 있다.

In these days, use of proper soils for construction materials become more limited, but wasted soils are abundant; therefore, the method which can use wasted soil such as soft clay has been investigated. Air-foamed stabilized soil has been used widely, but never been used as a subgrade material. The aim of this study is to verify the use of air-foamed stabilized soil as the subgrade construction material. Several wasted soils such as soft clay was selected to make air-foamed stabilized soil mixtures. The air-foamed stabilized mixture design was conducted to find the optimum quantity of stabilizing agent (cement) and air-foamed, and the effect of cement quantity and air-foamed quantity on strength of air-foamed stabilized soil mixtures base on the test results of unconfined compression test was investigated. As the quantity of cement is increased, the strength is increased, but the quantity of air-foamed is increased and the strength is decreased. Elastic moduli based on unconfined compression strength were obtained to use as subgrade of railway track design.

PURPOSES : It is to evaluate lightweight soil as a subgrade material based on mechanical tests and calculation of pavement performance. METHODS : In this research, various contents of cement and air foam are used to make lightweight soil using wasted dredged soil. Uniaxial compressive strength test is conducted to evaluate strength of 7 and 28 day cured specimens. Secant modulus was calculated based on the stress and strain relationship of uniaxial compressive strength test. Resilient modulus test was measured using by repeated triaxial compression test. The measured resilient modulus was used in layered elastic program to predict fatigue and rutting life at a given pavement structure. RESULTS : Uniaxial compressive strength increases as cement content increases but decrease as air foam content increases. Resilient modulus also increases as cement content increases and decrease as air foam content decrease. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that dredge clay soil can be used as subgrade layer material using by lightweight treated soil method.

노상토의 변형특성은 포장설계에 있어서 매우 중요한 기본적인 입력물성치다. 노상토의 탄성계수를 실험적으로 결정하기 위해서는 많은 노력이 필요하다. 포장 단면이 간단하거나 중요도가 낮은 도로 설계의 경우 시험적인 탄성계수 결정이 과다한 비용을 요구하게 된다. 보다 간편한 대체시험 또는 기초물성치로부터 탄성계수를 결정하는 다양한 경험모형이 제안되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 7종의 국내 노상토에 대한 시험을 수행하였다. 국내 노상토의 경우 강도특성과 변형특성의 밀접한 상관성을 확인 하였으며, 경험적 상관모형을 제안하였다. 점착력과 낮은 구속응력단계에서의 탄성계수는 매우 큰 상관관계가 있었다($r^2=0.93$). 제안된 상관모형을 적용하여 강도특성으로부터 추정된 탄성계수와 시험을 통하여 측정된 탄성계수의 비교에서 결정계수($r^2$)는 0.75로 나타났다.

Decrease in availability of suitable subbase and base course materials for highway construction leads to a search for economic method of converting locally available troublesome soil to suitable one for highway construction. Present study insights on evaluation of benefits of stabilization of subgrade soils in term of extension in service life (TBR) and layer thickness reduction (LTR). Laboratory investigation consisting of Atterberg limit, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio, unconfined compressive strength and triaxial shear strength tests were carried out on two types of soil for varying percentages of stabilizers. Vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils were found out by elastoplastic finite element analysis using commercial software ANSYS. The values of vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade, were further used to estimate layer thickness reduction or extension in service life of the pavement due to stabilization. Finite element modeling of the flexible pavement layered structure provides modern technology and sophisticated characterization of materials that can be accommodated in the analysis and enhances the reliability for the prediction of pavement response for improved design methodology. If the pavement section is kept same for unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils, pavement resting on lime, fly ash and fiber stabilized subgrade soil B will have service life 2.84, 1.84 and 1.67 times than that of unstabilized pavement respectively. The flexible pavement resting on stabilized subgrade is beneficial in reducing the construction material. Actual savings would depend on the option exercised by the designer for reducing the thickness of an individual layer.

The effect of discrete polypropylene fibre reinforcement on shear strength parameters, tensile properties and isotropic index of stabilized compacted residual subgrade was investigated. Composites of compacted subgrade were developed from polypropylene fibre dosage of 0%, 1%, 2.5% and 4% and 3% cement binder. Saturated compacted soil benefited from incremental fibre dosage, the mobilized friction coefficient increased to a maximum at 2.5% fibre dosage from 0.41 to 0.58 and the contribution due to further increase in fibre dosage was marginal. Binder stabilization increased the degree of isotropy for unreinforced soil at lower fibre dosage of 1% and then decreased with higher fibre dosage. Saturation of 3% binder stabilized soil decreased the soil friction angle and the degree of isotropy for both unstabilized and binder stabilized soil increased with fibre dosage. The maximum tensile stress of 3% binder stabilized fibre reinforced residual soil was 3-fold that of 3% binder stabilized unreinforced soil. The difference in computed and measured maximum tensile and tangential stress decreased with increase in fibre dosage and degree of stabilization and polypropylene fibre reinforced soil met local and international criteria for road construction subgrade.

This paper presents laboratory investigation of stabilization of subgrade soil. One type of soil and three types of stabilizers i.e., hydrated lime, class F fly ash and polypropylene fibres are selected in the study. Atterberg limit, compaction, california bearing ratio (CBR), unconfined compressive strength and triaxial shear strength tests are conducted on unstabilized and stabilized soil for varying percentage of stabilizers to analyze the effect of stabilizers on the properties of soil. Vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soil were found out by elasto-plastic finite element analysis using commercial software ANSYS. Strategy for design of optimum pavement section was based on extension in service life (TBR) and reduction in layer thickness (LTR). Extension in service life of stabilized subgrade soil is 6.49, 4.37 and 3.26 times more due to lime, fly ash and fibre stabilization respectively. For a given service life of the pavement, there is considerable reduction in layer thicknesses due to stabilization. It helps in reduction in construction cost of pavement and saving in natural resources as well.

아스팔트 포장에서 노상층의 상태를 평가하는 방법 중 하나로 현장 CBR(California Bearing Ratio)시험이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 현장 CBR 시험의 경우 시험특성상 시간과 비용이 많이 소모되어 광활한 구간에서의 각 구간별 포장층의 현장강도 특성을 일일이 파악하기란 매우 힘든 단점이 있다. 이에 현장에서 보다 신속하고 경제적으로 포장 지지력을 측정하는 방법으로 동적관입시험 (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer DCP)이 많이 사용되고있다. 이미 외국의 경우 많은 실내 외 시험을 통하여 CBR 값과 DCP 시험을 통한 DCP지수(DCP Index, mm/blow)간의 상관관계가 연구되어 왔으며 최근에 국내에서도 연구가 수행되었으나 실내에 국한된 것이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내현장에서 사용중인 노상토에 대한 현장 CBR값과 DCP지수에 대한 상관관계를 파악하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 국외 자료와 비교하며 국내에서 노상토의 지지력을 평가하기 위한 DCP지수를 제안하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 노상층에서의 CBR 시험방법과 동적관입시험법간 상관관계식을 제시하였으며 국내 노상토의 지지력은 현장CBR값이 20$\sim$45% 범위로 설계시 CBR값을 고려한다면 상당히 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
