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.

In this study, a laboratory model test on utilization of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as vertical drains to use alternative material of sand in soft ground is performed. The vertical and horizontal coefficient of permeability of the recycled aggregates and crushed stone showed largely 1.2~4.0 times and 3.0~3.3 times greater than sand, respectively. Therefore, it showed enough to be an alternative material to the sand which had been being used as the vertical and horizontal drainage material before. The variations of pore water pressure with time showed constantly regardless of the load in all vertical drainage materials. When water level drops suddenly, the pore water pressure of the recycled aggregate and crushed aggregate is reduced to nearly zero. Therefore, it was applicable to the field because discharge capacity was similarity to that of sand. The settlement in crushed aggregates and recycled aggregate decreases gradually with the load increase. When water level drops suddenly, earth pressure in all drains materials was evaluated the equivalent drainage capacity similarity to sand because it show approaching the nearly zero.

In general, geotechnical properties have many uncertain aspects, thus probabilistic analysis have been used to consider these aspects. It is, however, quite difficult to select an appropriate target probability for a certain structure or construction process. In this study, minimum expected cost design method based on probabilistic analysis is suggested for design of vertical drains generally used to accelerate consolidation in soft clayey soils. A sensitivity analysis is performed to select the most important uncertain parameters for the design of vertical drains. Monte Carlo simulation is used in sensitivity analysis and probabilistic analysis. Total expected cost, defined as the sum of initial cost and expected additive cost, varies widely with variation of input parameters used in design of vertical drain systems. And probability of failure to get the minimum total expected cost varies under the different design conditions. A minimum value of total expected cost is suggested as a design value in this study. The proposed design concept is applicable to unit construction process because this approach is to consider the uncertainties using probabilistic analysis and uncertainties of geotechnical properties.

본 연구에서는 버티칼 드레인으로 개량된 점성토 지반의 잔류침하 예측법을 제안하기 위하여 모델지반에 대해 탄-점성 압밀이론을 이용한 일련의 수치해석을 행하였다. 그리고 수치해석을 통하여 정규압밀영역에 대해 유효반경비, 압밀압력의 영향과 버티칼 드레인에 의한 3차원압밀에 있어서의 잔류침하를 감소시키기 위한 과압밀영역에서의 과압밀비의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한, 모델지반의 수치해석결과에 기초하여 버티칼 드레인 타설지반의 잔류침하 예측법과 잔류침하를 허용치 이내로 제어하기 위해 필요한 과압밀비의 결정법을 제안하였다.

The installation of vertical drains by using a mandrel causes significant disturbance of the subsoil. Thus a smear zone may be developed with reduced permeability and increased compressibility. In this paper the extent of smear zone developing ground disturbance with the installation of mandrels are analysed by field smear zone test. The extent and the consolidation characteristics of smear zones around the mandrels is compared with the shape, the size of mandrel and penetration speed and is evaluated from the field smear test results.

준설매립지반 설계시 압밀 소요시간 단축을 위해 연직배수공법와 선행재하공법등의 연약지반 개량공법을 주로 적용한다. 준설매립지반의 자중에 의한 압밀이 완료되기까지는 많은 시간이 소요되므로 공사비 절감, 공기단축의 이유로 연약지반 개량공법은 일반적으로 자중압밀 도중 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 준설매립지반에서 연직방향으로 자중압밀이 진행되는 도중 연직배수재 타설에 의해 방사방향의 흐름이 추가로 발생하는 경우의 압밀거동 예측을 위하여 자중압밀을 고려한 2차원 축대칭 비선형 유한변형 압밀 지배방정식과 이를 적용하기 위한 수치모델(Axi-Selcon)을 개발하였다. Axi-Selcon의 검증과 자중압밀 도중 연직배수재가 타설된 준설매립지반을 모사하기 위해 일련의 실내시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 연직배수재가 타설된 준설매립지반을 모사하는 대형자중압밀 시험기를 고안하였다. 모델의 추가적인 검증을 위하여 기존에 제안된 간편 해석법을 적용한 결과와 Axi-Selcon의 해석결과와 비교하였다. 마지막으로, Axi-Selcon을 적용하여 가상의 대심도 준설매립지반의 거동을 예측하였다. 이와 같은 일련의 모델 검증과정을 통해 본 논문에서 개발된 Axi-Selcon은 자중압밀 도중 연직배수재 타설과 선행재하공법이 적용될 경우에 대한 초연약 준설매립지반의 압밀 거동을 적절히 예측할 수 있음을 보였다.

인공연직배수재는 일반적인 샌드드래인에 비하여 비용 절감, 지반 교란의 최소화, 시공성 및, 시공 중에 발생될 수 있는 배수재의 변형을 최소화하는 유연성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실내실험을 통하여 측압과 동수경사에 따른 여러형태 PVD의 통수능을 도출하였다. 시험결과는 압밀된 점토에 대한 과압력이 증가하였으며, 또한 PVD 공시체의 측압도 증가하였다. 이는 측압이 증가함에 따라 통수능이 감소됨을 나타내고 있으며, PVD 코어의 공극크기는 통수능과 비례관계에 있음을 보여준다. 현장조건을 고려하여 시뮬레이션을 통한 침하량에 대한 수치해석을 수행한 결과 현장계측한 침하량과 유사하게 나타났다.

This study analyzed characteristics of soft ground consolidation according to depths of vertical drain. As the result, when the depth ratio of vertical drains (L/D) were 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0, consolidation characteristics were similar up to 70% in consolidation degree under one-dimensional drain condition. However, above this degree, consolidation speed became slower as L/D became smaller. Two-dimensional drain condition also showed a similar tendency, but when L/D was 1.0, the consolidation speed was relatively higher.

For the purpose of ground improvement by means of soil flushing systems. Incorporated technique with prefabricated vertical drains have been used for dewatering from fine-grained soils. The laboratory model tests were performed by using the flushing tracer solutions for silty soils and recorded the tracer concentration changes with the elapsed time and flow rates. A mathematical model for prediction of contaminant transport using the PVD technology has been developed. The clean-up times for the predictions on both soil condition indicate more of a sensitivity to the dispersivity parameter than to the extracted flow rate and vertical velocity parameters. Based on the results of the analyses, numerical analysis indicate that the most important factor to the in-situ soil remediation in prefabricated vertical drain system is the effective diameter of contaminated soil.
