Abstract

Settlement prediction based on field monitored data, which is used to control subsequent surcharges, is very important in construction management for soft ground improvement with the preloading method. Observational settlement prediction methods, which are suggested for an instantaneous loading, have been widely used in fields. However, they have difficulties in the settlement prediction with subsequent surcharge change. In this paper, a simple method to predict the settlement with subsequent surcharge change is suggested. The suggested method adopts assumptions to simplify the complex field condition and utilizes observational methods. The suggested method is applied to a large consolidation test result, FDM analysis results, and field monitored settlement data to confirm its practicability. From the applications, the suggested method produces reasonable prediction results with various subsequent surcharge changes.

연약 지반 개량 현장의 효율적 시공 관리를 위해 침하 계측 자료를 이용한 정확한 향후 침하 거동 예측은 매우 중요하다. 현재 침하 예측을 위해 침하 계측 자료를 이용한 침하 예측 방법들이 널리 활용되고 있으나, 이러한 방법들은 일정 성토고 조건에서만 적용이 가능하며, 실제 현장처럼 계측 결과에 따라 지속적인 성토 변화가 발생하는 경우 적용이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 성토 조건의 변화를 고려한 침하량 예측을 위해 침하 계측 자료를 이용한 침하 예측 결과와 복잡한 현장 조건을 단순화하기 위한 가정 조건을 기반으로 간단한 역해석을 통해 향후 침하량을 이론적으로 예측할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 대형 압밀 시험 결과, 유한 차분 해석 결과, 현장 침하 계측 자료에 제안 방법을 적용한 결과, 제안 방법이 하중의 재제하 등 다양한 성토 변화 조건에서 침하 거동을 신뢰성 있게 모사하였다.
