Abstract

This paper evaluates the applicability of wave-based nondestructive methodologies and a penetration test for compaction quality measurements during road construction. To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of compacted subgrade soil layers, soil stiffness gauge (SSG), time domain reflectometry (TDR), and miniature electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers were used to nondestructively evaluate the soil response during and after compaction and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) profiles were used to evaluate the soil shear strength after compaction was completed. At the field site, two types of soils were compacted with four different compaction equipments and energies. Field testing results indicate that soil parameters evaluated by different testing methods, which are SSG, TDR, MEMS accelerometer, and DCP, are highly correlated. In addition, it is shown that the physical and mechanical tests deployed in this study can be used as alternative methods to the conventional compaction quality evaluation methods when assessing the overall quality and the engineering response of compacted lifts.

본 연구에서는 도로 성토현장에서 파 기반의 비파괴시험법과 관입시험의 현장 다짐품질 측정에 대한 적용성을 평가하였다. 현장에서 다짐 노상토의 물리 역학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 흙강성 측정기(SSG), 시간영역 반사측정기(TDR), 소형 전기-기계 시스템(MEMS) 가속도계 등의 비파괴시험을 이용하여 다짐 전후 흙의 응답을 평가하였고, 동적 콘관입시험기(DCP)를 이용하여 다짐 후 전단특성을 평가하였다. 현장시험은 두 가지 흙의 종류에 대해 네 가지의 다짐장비 및 다짐에너지로 조성된 성토지반에서 수행되었다. 시험결과, 조사 매커니즘이 다른 시험법인 SSG, TDR, MEMS 가속도계 및 DCP로 측정된 흙의 파라메터들은 상호 연관성이 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 다짐지반의 전체적인 품질 및 공학적인 응답을 고려하여 시험 방법들을 현장에 적용할 경우, 기존의 다짐도 평가 방법들을 대체 또는 보완하여 현장에서 신속한 다짐품질 평가를 수행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
