Abstract

The coefficient of consolidation has been evaluated using the conventional oedometer tests based on the one-dimensional consolidation theory. In the field, however, the actual response of the soil will be subject to the three-dimensional condition during consolidation. In this research, a new method f3r estimating the coefficient of consolidation for various stress-deformation conditions was proposed. The good agreement between the computed dissipation of pore pressure and the measured data confirms the usefulness and the applicability of the proposed method to predict the exact rate of consolidation.

일반적으로 압밀계수는 일차원 압밀이론에 근거한 표준압밀시험을 이용하여 평가된다 하지만 실제 현장에서는 압밀 중 3차원적으로 응력 및 변형이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실제 현장에서 발생 가능한 다양한 응력-변형 조건을 고려한 새로운 압밀계수 평가방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 과잉간극수압 소산양상 예측 결과는 실측치와 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 방법을 이용하는 경우 지반의 압밀 속도를 보다 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
