준설매립지반의 압밀을 촉진시키기 위하여 연직방향 뿐만 아니라 방사방향의 배수를 유도하는 연직배수공법이 많이 사용된다. 하지만, 일반적으로 준설된 매립지반의 자중압밀이 완료되기 이전에 연직배수공법이 적용되므로 준설 매립지반의 자중압밀이 진행되는 도중에 연직방향과 방사방향 배수를 동시에 고려하여 압밀거동을 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 유한변형 자중압밀 과정에서 준설매립지반의 연직방향 및 방사방향을 모두 고려할 수 있는 새로운 해석방법을 제안하였다. 연직방향 비선형 유한변형 자중압밀은 Morris(2002)의 이론해와 PSDDF 해석 결과를 적용하고 방사방향 압밀은 Barron(1948)이 제시한 이론해를 도입하였다. 각 각의 압밀도를 Carillo(1942)의 제안식을 적용하여 연직방향과 방사방향 배수를 고려한 준설매립지반의 자중압밀을 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 해석방법을 검증하기 위해 연직배수재가 설치된 대형자중압밀 시험을 수행한 후 해석결과와 비교하여, 제안한 해석방법이 실험결과를 잘 예측할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The permeability of contaminated soil and elapsed time are important considering factors to in-situ soil remadiation. Gabr et. al. (1996) derived the solution equation of contaminant concentration ratio as initial one (C/$C_0$) with time and spatial changes in contaminated area which embedded with vertical drains. The contaminant concentration ratio (C/$C_0$) is analyzed with time and spatial changes in three different permeability areas which are $k=l.0{\times}10^{-5,}$ $l.0{\times}l0^{-6,}$ $l.0{\times}l0^{-7}\;_{m/s}$ by using the Gabr's equation. Results from numerical analysis indicate that the ratio (C/$C_0$) decreases as the elapsed time increases in every point, however, remediation efficiency decreases as the analyzing point is far from injection well to extraction one and is deeper from top level of contaminated area. And also it decreases as the permeability of contaminated area decreases. Especially, the lower permeability of contaminated area effects directly on the soil remediation, in this research, under condition which the permeability of contaminated area is $l.0{\times}l0^{-7}\;_{m/s}$, the maximum time needed to attain 90% clean up level ($t_{90}$) is 65,690 hours(7.5 years), it takes so much time to clean the low permeability contaminated soil.

Electroosmosis (EO) is the movement of water in a porous medium under the influence of a direct current (dc). In past decades, electro-osmosis has been successfully employed in many soil improvement and other geotechnical engineering projects. Metal electrodes, such as steel, copper and aluminum have been used traditionally to conduct current. The shortcoming of these electrodes is that they corrode easily during an EO treatment, which results in reduced effectiveness and environmental concerns. More recently, conductive polymers are developed to replace metal electrodes in EO treatment. Electrical vertical drainages (EVDs) are one of these products under trial. The goal of this study is to assess the performance of EVDs for soil improvement and to further understand the scientific principle of the EO process, including the voltage drop at the soil-EVD interface, electrical current density, polarity reversal, and changes in soil physico-chemical properties generated by electroosmosis. It is found from the study that after 19 days of EO treatment with a constant applied dc electric field intensity of 133 V/m, the soil's moisture content decreased by 28%, the shear strength and pre-consolidation pressure increased more than 400%. It is also found that the current density required triggering the water flow in the soil tested, the Korean Yulchon marine clay, is 0.7 $A/m^2$. The project demonstrates that EVDs can serve as both electrodes and drains for soil improvement in short term. However, the EVDs, as tested, are not suitable for polarity reversal in EO treatment and their service life is limited to only 15 days.

Artesian pressure exists in Yangsan site, the maximum value of which has been measured as high as 5 t/m$^2$. This paper deals with the prediction of consolidation settlement for the site with artesian pressure. The consolidation settlement at the site has been accelerated using vertical band drains. Since the artesian pressure gives lower effective stress than a static condition, its effect should be considered in the settlement prediction. This case study shows that the prediction of settlement and pore pressure dissipation agrees well with the measurements, when considering the artesian effect.

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.

The large scaled field test by prefabricated vertical drains was performed to evaluate the superiority of vertical discharge capacity for drain materials through compare and analyze the time-settlement behavior with drain spacing and the compression index and consolidation coefficient obtained by laboratory experiments and field monitoring system 1. The relation of measurement settlement( $S_{m}$) versus design settlement( $S_{t}$) and measurement consolidation ratio( $U_{m}$) versus design consolidation ratio( $U_{t}$) were shown $S_{m}$=(1.0~l.1) $S_{t}$, $U_{m}$=(1.13~l.17) $U_{t}$, at 1.0m drain spacing and $S_{m}$=(0.7~0.8) $S_{t}$, $U_{m}$=(0.92~0.99) $U_{t}$ at 1.5m drain spacing, respectively. 2. The relation of field compression index( $C_{cfield}$) and virgin compression index( $V_{cclab}$) was shown $C_{cfield}$=(1.0~1.2) $V_{cclab}$, But it was nearly same value when considered the error with determination method of virgin compression index and prediction method of total settlement. 3. field consolidation coefficient was larger than laboratory consolidation coefficient, and the consolidation coefficient ratio( $C_{h}$/ $C_{v}$) were $C_{h}$=(2.4 ~ 3.0) $C_{v}$. $C_{h}$=(3.5 ~ 4.3) $C_{v}$ at 1.0m and 1.5m drain spacing and increased with increasing of drain spacingngasing of drain spacingng spacingng

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.

최근 우리나라는 석회산업의 부산물인 폐석회의 처리문제로 많은 분쟁이 발생하고 있다. 폐석회는 높은 함수비를 갖고 있어 이를 처리하기 위해서는 적절한 탈수과정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 연직배수공법을 활용하여 폐석회의 높은 함수비를 저하시키고 지반의 안정화를 촉진시키기 위한 효율적인 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 즉, 폐석회 슬러지로 구성된 지반내에 기성연직 배수재를 설치하였을때, 압밀도와 간극수압의 소산, 침하량 변화, 지지력 증가를 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 고찰해 보면, PBD가 원형드레인 보다 압밀계수가 2배정도 크게 나타났다. 전반적으로 침하량과 간극수압의 소산, 통수량을 비교하면 두 방법이 서로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나, PBD가 원형드레인보다 초기 간극수가 더 효과적으로 배수되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실내배수실험 후 SEM 촬영에 의한 배수재의 필터 층을 살펴보면, PBD에 비해 원형드레인의 필터가 막힘현상이 심한 것을 알 수 있었다. 폐석회지반의 지반개량효과와 간극수의 배수는 PBD가 우수하며, 원형드레인은 타설간격이 길고 PBD와 같은 섬유배열이 균질한 필터로 교환하여 사용할 때 효율성이 증대할 것이라 예상된다.

본 연구에서는 정규압밀 및 과압밀상태의 구별없이 이차압밀 거동을 표현할 수 있는 3차원 탄-점성압밀이론에 의한 유한차분해석에 의해 버티칼 드레인으로 개량된 점성토 지반의 압밀지동을 해석하였다. 또한, 탄-접성압밀이론의 적용성에 대해 버티칼 드레인 타설지반의 모형실험결과와 비교하여 검토하였다. 이들 실험결과로부터, 과잉간극수압이 거의 소산된 상태에서의 버티칼 드레인 개량지반에서의 침하량은 1차원 조건에 비해 적으며, 이차압밀과정에서의 잔류침하량 및 침하속도는 1차원 조건보다 크게 나타남을 알았다. 마지막으로, 압밀과정의 거동에 대한 토질정수의 영향을 정규압밀 및 과압밀 상태에 대한 일련의 수치해석의 결과에 의해 조사하였다.
