Abstract

The oedometer, radial CRS and Rowe cell tests, composite discharge capacity tests and smear effect tests are carried out to estimate the parameters for the reliability-based design of vertical drain method. Also the sensitivity analysis, the probabilistic and deterministic solutions of radial consolidation theory are presented. The result of probabilistic analysis was compared to that of deterministic analysis using the tested and estimated parameters. The results indicated that the drain spacing in the deterministic method is larger than that in the probabilistic method because the former does not consider the uncertainties in the geotechnical property. The divergence of two methods is dependent on the probability of achieving target degree of consolidation by a given time and the coefficient of variation (COV) of the coefficient of horizontal consolidation ($c_h$).

본 연구에서는 표준압밀, 방사형 일정변형속도 압밀, 로우셀압밀, 복합통수능 및 교란영역시험을 수행하여 연직배수공법의 신뢰성 설계를 위한 파라미터를 산정하였다. 또한 방사형 압밀이론에 대한 민감도 해석, 결정론적 해석 및 확률론적 해석이 수행되었다. 시험 결과를 이용한 방사형 압밀이론의 확률론적 해석 결과와 결정론적 해석 결과를 비교, 분석 하였으며, 그로부터 배수재 배치간격은 확률론적 방법보다 결정론적 방법에서 더 넓게 산정됨을 제시하였다. 이는 결정론적 해석에서는 지반 불확실성을 고려하지 못하였기 때문이다. 두 방법을 이용하여 산정된 배치간격간의 차이는 목표 압밀도에 도달할 수 있는 확률과 수평압밀계수의 변동계수에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
