Abstract

Landfill require special care due to the dangers of nearby surface water and underground water pollution caused by leakage of leachate. The leachate does not leak due to the installation of the geomembrane but sharp wastes or landfill equipment can damage the geomembrane and therefore a means of protecting the geomembrane is required. In Korea, in accordance with the waste control act being modified in 1999, protecting the geosynthetics liner on top of the slope of landfill and installing a drainage layer to fluently drain leachate became mandatory, and technologies are being researched to both protect the geomembrane and quickly drain leachate simultaneously. Therefore, this research has its purpose in studying the drainage functions of leachate and protection functions of the geomembrane in order to examine the application possibilities of Geo-Multicell-Composite (GMC) as a Leachate Collection Removal and Protection System (LCRPs) at the slope on top of the geomembrane of landfill by observing methods of inserting filler with high-quality water permeability at the drainage net. GMC's horizontal permeability coefficient is $8.0{\times}10^{-4}m^2/s$ to legal standards satisfeid. Also crash gravel used as filler respected by vertical permeability is 5.0 cm/s, embroidering puncture strength 140.2 kgf. A result of storm drain using artificial rain in GMC model facility, maxinum flow rate of 1,120 L/hr even spray without surface runoff was about 92~97% penetration. Further study, instead of crash gravel used as a filler, such as using recycled aggregate utilization increases and the resulting construction cost is expected to savings.

폐기물 매립시설은 침출수의 발생 및 누출로 인하여 인근 지표수나 지하수의 오염을 초래할 수 있기 때문에 각별한 관리가 요구된다. 침출수는 차수층의 설치로 인하여 외부로 누출되지 않으나, 매립 중 날카로운 폐기물이나 매립장비로부터 차수층이 손상 받을 우려가 있기 때문에 차수층을 보호할 수 있는 시설이 필요하다. 국내에서는 1999년에 폐기물관리법이 개정되면서 폐기물 매립시설 사면부 위 토목합성수지라이너를 보호하고 침출수를 원활하게 배수시키기 위한 보호 및 배수층의 설치를 의무화하였으며, 차수층을 보호하는 동시에 침출수를 신속히 배수시켜 줄 수 있는 기술들이 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 배수망에 투수성이 우수한 충진재를 삽입하는 방법을 착안하여 폐기물 매립시설 사면부 차수층 위에서 침출수 집배수 및 보호층(Leachate Collection Removal and Protection System, LCRPs)으로서 Geo-Multicell-Composite(GMC)의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 침출수의 배수기능과 차수층의 보호기능에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. GMC의 수평투과능계수를 측정한 결과 $8.0{\times}10^{-4}m^2/s$로 법적기준을 만족시켰다. 또한 GMC의 충진재로 사용된 쇄석은 수직투수계수가 5.0cm/s, 꿰뚫림강도는 140.2kgf로 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. GMC 모형시실에서 인공강우를 통한 강우배출실험 결과, 최대유량인 1120L/hr로 살포시에도 표면 유출수 없이 약 92 ~ 97%가 침투되었다. 추후에는 충진재로 사용된 쇄석 대신 재활용골재 등을 사용하여 재활용골재의 활용성 증가와 그로 인한 시공비용 절감의 효과에 대한 연구가 기대된다.
