Abstract

Consolidation behavior of soft clay is generally to be affected by its compressibility and deformation characteristics. Especially, soil permeability depends on soil characteristics including its type of anisotropy. Coefficient of permeability of soft clay is mostly estimated by using laboratory(Oedometer test) and in-stiu piezocone test. The permeability characteristics of soft clay is estimated by excess pore pressure dissipation test results. In this study, the tests were performed to find out the validity of the existing theoretical formula in clay by pore pressure dissipation test and laboratory test results. After grasping of variation the coefficient of permeability ratio(${k_{h}/k_{v}}$) in different clay soils, it was found out adequate solution of in-stiu permeability ratio(${k_{h}/k_{v}}$). Piezocone tests and laboratory tests were performed at the site of pilot project of ground improvement at Yangsan-Mulgeum, Gyeongsangnam-do. Comparisons of the estimated values of ${k_{h}/k_{v}}$ using piezocone tests results and those from laboratory consolidation tests were carried out. Test results show that values of ${k_{h}/k_{v}}$ by piezocone test result(5.85) is similar of it's laboratory test(5.28).

점성토 지반의 거동은 압축성뿐만 아니라 투수특성에 크게 영향을 받으며, 특히, 투수특성은 흙의 특성, 이방성에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 투수계수는 주로 실내 압밀시험과 현장 피에조 콘 시험으로부터 산정이 가능하다. 피에조 콘에 의한 투수계수 산정방법은 과잉간극수압의 소산시험 결과로부터 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 간극수압 소산시험 및 실내시험결과(Oedometer test)를 이용하여 기존의 투수성 평가에 이용되는 이론 해들의 적용성을 검토하고자 하며, 점성토지반 특성에 따른 ${k_{h}/k_{v}}$의 변화를 파악하여 원위치 ${k_{h}/k_{v}}$를 합리적으로 추정할 수 있는 적합한 해를 선정하였다. 연구대상지반은 경남 양산물금 지역의 점성토층이며 원위치 시험인 피에조 콘 소산시험과 비교란 시료에 대한 실내압밀시험(Oedometer test)을 실시하고 각 투수계수 추정해 별로 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 피에조 콘 소산시험으로 산정된 투수계수비가 5.85로 나타나 실내시험(Rowe cell/Oedometer)으로 산정된 투수계수비 5.28과 매우 유사한 값을 나타냈다.
