Abstract

In this study, a series of laboratory and in-situ tests such as FVTs and CPTUs were carried out to evaluate undrained shear strength related to quasi overconsolidated characteristics in the near-surface clay at Busan new port. Using unconfined compression and field vane test results, correlation between undrained shear strength and effective overburden pressure, that is, equation of $10+0.262{\sigma}^{\prime}v_0$ (kPa) was obtained. From oedometer tests, OCR is around 1.9 at depths lower than 7 m and OCR below this depth is very close to unit. As stated by Hanzawa et al. (1983), a natural clay deposit in the near-surface, even in normally consolidated state, is more and less apparently overconsolidated due to aging effects such as chemical bonding. Based on this concept, it can be inferred that intercept of equation is mobilized due to chemical bonding irrespective of effective overburden pressure and strength incremental ratio in normally consolidated state is 0.262. From CPTU results, same trend was confirmed. The further study should be necessary to judge whether upper clay is under overconsolidated state due to chemical bonding or not based on the depositional environment.

본 연구에서는 부산 신항에서 지표면 근처의 상부 점토의 유사 과압밀 특성과 연계한 비배수전단강도를 평가하기 위하여 현장베인 및 피에조콘관입시험을 실시하였다. 일축압축 및 현장베인시험 결과를 이용하여 비배수전단강도($s_u$)와 유효상재압과의 상관관계식 $10+0.262{\sigma}^{\prime}v_0$(kPa)이 얻어졌다. 표준압밀시험결과로부터 7m 심도까지 과압밀비(OCR) 1.9 정도이며, 심도가 깊어질수록 정규압밀상태의 과압밀비(OCR) 1.0에 근접한 경향이 얻어졌다. Hanzawa(1983)에 따르면, 정규압밀된 자연퇴적 점토지반에서도 화학적 결합 작용 등에 의한 연대효과로 인해 지표면에 가까운 위치에서 과압밀 경향을 보이는 것으로 제시되었다. 이러한 개념 하에서, 부산점토 지반은 지표면에서부터 화학적 결합작용으로 인해 10kPa의 비배수전단강도가 유효상재압에 관계없이 발휘되며, 정규압밀상태의 강도증가율은 0.262로 추정할 수 있다. 이에 대해 퇴적 환경 변화로 인해 지표면에 가까운 위치에서 화학적 결합 작용에 의한 유사 과압밀 경향이 발생되었는지에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
