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.

Bergado에 의해 비교 분석된 많은 연구자들의 배수재의 소요통수능에 대한 제안값을 보면 0.32~50cc/s로 그 차이가 너무 크기 때문에 실무에 적용하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 배수재의 통수능변화를 고려할 수 있는 압밀해석방법을 개발하고, 흙의 압밀계수, 압축지수, 배수재 타설심도 및 타설후 시간경과에 따른 배수재의 통수능 감소 등의 현장여건을 고려한 압밀해석을 통하여 압밀지연을 일으키지 않는 배수재의 소요통수능에 대한 기준을 제시하였다. 압밀해석결과 어느값 이상의 통수능에서는 압밀지연이 없으므로 이 값 이상의 통수능을 갖는 배수재를 선택하는 것이 중요하며, 압밀지연시간 5% 이내인 배수재의 소요통수능은 압밀계수($c_{v}$ ), 배수재의 길이(L) 및 압축지수($C_{c}$)와 비례관계로서 안전율 1.5를 고려하여 $q_{wa}$ =8$\times$($c_{v}$ $\times$L$\times$$C_{c}$)(cc/s) 이상이면 되는 상관식을 얻었다. 이 값 이상의 배수재를 선택하는 경우는 연직배수공법의 압밀해석에서 배수재의 통수능을 고려하지 않아도 된다는 결론을 얻었다.

간척지나 해안지역과 같은 연약지반에 건축 및 토목공사를 위해서는 지반의 강도를 높이기 위한 연약지반개량공사가 필수적이다. 연약지반 개량 공법은 여러 가지가 있으나 우리나라를 비롯해 세계적으로 연직배수공법을 주로 사용하고 있다. 연직배수공법은 연약한 점성토 지반 내에 인공적으로 연직 배수재를 다수 설치하여 배수거리를 단축시킴으로써 압밀을 촉진시키고, 그에 따른 강도증가 효과를 얻을 수 있는 공법이다. 연직배수재로는 경제성과 시공성이 우수한 PBD가 널리 사용되고 있다. PBD 시공품질은 시공 깊이, 압력, 수직도 등에 영향을 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 PBD 시공시 배수재의 시공 심도, 압력, 수직도를 자동측정하여 작업자가 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있고 시공결과를 자동 저장하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 시공 불량 요인이 발생시 자동 경고하여 불량률을 줄일 수 있고, 장비의 이상 발생시 자동 제어시스템을 가동하여 작업의 안전성을 확보하도록 하였다.

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 paper investigates the time dependent behaviour of Haarajoki test embankment on soft structured clay deposit. Half of the embankment is constructed on an area improved with prefabricated vertical drains, while the other half is constructed on the natural deposit without any ground improvement. To analyse the PVD-improved subsoil, axisymmetric vertical drains were converted into equivalent plane strain conditions using three different approaches. The construction and consolidation of the embankment are analysed with the finite element method using a recently developed anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft clays. The constitutive model, namely ACM-S accounts for combined effects of plastic anisotropy, interparticle bonding and degradation of bonds and creep. For comparison, the problem is also analysed with isotropic Soft Soil Creep and Modified Cam Clay models. The results of the numerical analyses are compared with the field measurements. The results show that neglecting effects of anisotropy, destructuration and creep may lead to inaccurate predictions of soft clay response. Additionally, the numerical results show that the matching methods accurately predict the consolidation behaviour of the embankment on PVD improved soft clays and provide a useful tool for engineering practice.

The typical design of ground improvement with prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and surcharge preloading involves a series of deterministic analyses using averaged or mean soil properties for the various combination of the PVD spacing and surcharge preloading height that would meet the criteria for minimum consolidation time and required degree of consolidation. The optimum design combination is then selected in which the total cost of ground improvement is a minimum. Considering the variability and uncertainties of the soil consolidation parameters, as well as considering the effects of soil disturbance (smear zone) and drain resistance in the analysis, this study presents a stochastic cost optimization of ground improvement with PVD and surcharge preloading. Direct Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and importance sampling (IS) technique is used in the stochastic analysis by limiting the sampled random soil parameters within the range from a minimum to maximum value while considering their statistical distribution. The method has been verified in a case study of PVD improved ground with preloading, in which average results of the stochastic analysis showed a good agreement with field monitoring data.

There are a number of approaches to in situ remediation that are used at contaminated sites for removing contaminants from the contaminated zone without excavating the soil. These include soil flushing, dual phase extraction, and soil vapor extraction. Of these techniques, soil flushing is the focus of the investigation in this paper. The concept of using prefabricated vertical drains(PVDs) for remediation of contaminated sites with fine-grained soils is examined. The PVD system is used to shorten the drainage path or the groundwater flow and promote subsurface liquid movement expediting the soil flushing process. The use of PVDs in the current state of practice has been limited to soil improvement. The use of PVDs under vacuum conditions is investigated using sample soil consisting of silty sand.

A large scale field test of prefabricated vertical drains was performed to anayze the effect of parameters of the very soft clay at a test site. compression index and the coefficient of horizontal consolidation obtained by back-analysis of settlement data were compared with those obtained by means of laboratory tests. Hyperbolic method, Asaoka meoth and curve fitting method were used to compute final settlement of coefficient of consolidation. The relationships of settlement measurement(Sm) versus design settlement(St) and the measurement consolidation ratio(Um) versus design consolidation (Ut) were shown as Sm=(1.0~1.1) St , Um=(1.13~1.17) Ut at 1.0m spacing of drain and Sm=(0.7~0.8)St, Um= (0.92~0.99) Ut at 1.5 m spacing of drain, respectively . The relationships of the field compression index(CcField) and virgin compression index(vcc lab) were shown as Ccfield =(1.0~1.2)vcc lab . But it was nearly within the same range when considering the error factor with the determination method of virgin compression index and the prediction back-analysis of the settlement data was larger than the coefficient of vertical consolidation, and the ratio of consolidation coefficient (Ch/Cv) was Ch =(2.4~2.9) Cv , Ch=(3.4~4.2) Cv at 1.0m and 1.5m spacing of drain, respectively.
