Abstract
This paper investigates the mechanical characteristics of monofilament-reinforced bottom ash mixtures for recycling dredged soil. Reinforced bottom ash mixture is a lightweight soil added with monofilament in order to increase its shear strength. Test specimens were fabricated by various mixing conditions including monofilament content, its length and its diameter. Then several series of unconfined compression tests and direct shear tests were performed to investigate mechanical characteristics of reinforced lightweight soil. The experimental results indicated that stress-strain behaviors of reinforced lightweight soil were strongly influenced by mixing conditions of monofilament content, its length and diameter. The compressive strength of reinforced lightweight soil generally increased by adding monofilament. In this test, the maximum increase in compressive strength was obtained at 0.5% content and 4cm length of monofilament. These results were similar to those of direct shear tests. The unconfined compressive strength of reinforced lightweight soil with monofilament of 0.25mm in diameter was greater than that of reinforced lightweight soil with monofilament of 0.5mm in diameter.
본 연구에서는 준설토 재활용을 위한 단섬유 보강 Bottom ash 혼합경량토의 역학적 특성을 고찰하였다. Bottom ash 혼합경량토는 경량토로서 자체 전단강도증가를 위하여 단섬유를 혼합하였다. 공시체는 단섬유의 함유량, 길이, 직경을 각각 변화시컥 다양한 배합비로 제작하였으며 역학적 거동 특성을 조사하기 위하여 일축압축시험과 직접전단시험이 수행되어졌다. 실험결과 응력-변형 관계는 단섬유의 함유량, 길이, 직경과 같은 배합조건에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났고, 단섬유 혼합에 의해 압축강도 및 전단강도가 일반적으로 증가되었음을 알 수 있었다. 단섬유 함유율 0.5%와 길이 4cm에서 최대압축강도가 나타났으며 이러한 결과는 직접전단시험에서도 비슷하게 나타났다. 직경에 따른 압축강도는 단섬유 직경 0.5mm보다 0.25mm에서 더 큰 보강효과가 나타났다.
