Abstract

Underground cavities could induce road subsidence, which have been frequently observed in urban areas. Therefore, adequate backfilling materials and the restoring methods of the cavities are required to prevent the road subsidence. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the suitability of backfilling methods using foaming lightweight grouting materials considering the flow values, unit weights, and air contents at slurry and expanded states, and unconfined compressive strengths. The grouting materials consist of water, cement, and foaming agent whose proportions of water, cement, and foaming agent are 25: 25: 1.0 and 25: 25: 1.2. The flow values of the two materials are greater than 200 mm, and their unconfined compressive strengths at 28 days age are smaller than 1.3 MPa. From the results, the two proportions of materials are expected to be effectively used as a backfilling material. However, the material components should be carefully mixed because poor mix of these materials could induce non-homogeneous distribution of air bubbles. The unexpectedly non-homogeneous distribution of air bubbles may induce significant cracks or additional cavities.

최근 도심지 지역에서 도로함몰로 이어질 수 있는 지반 내 공동의 탐사를 수행하고 있으며, 도로함몰을 방지하기 위하여 지반 내 공동의 적절한 충진이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 발포성 경량그라우트재에 대하여 플로우 시험, 팽창 전후의 단위중량 및 공기량 측정, 그리고 일축압축강도 시험을 수행하여 공동 충진의 적합성과 공학적 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 배합 재료는 물, 시멘트, 발포제를 사용하였으며, 발포제의 비율을 조절하여 두 가지 배합비로 조성된 시료에 대한 공학적 특성을 평가하였다. 각각의 시험 결과, 두 배합비 모두에서 플로우 값이 200mm 이상인 것으로 측정되고, 28일 일축압축강도가 1.3MPa 이하로 측정되어, 두 배합은 유동성 및 강도의 측면에서 공동 충진에 적합한 재료로 평가되었다. 단, 배합 시 물과 발포제가 충분히 혼합되지 않는 경우 재료 내부에 존재하는 기포가 불균질하게 분포될 수 있으므로 물과 발포제의 혼합 시 주의가 필요하다.
