Abstract

The internal erosion due to poor compaction of the material was the main cause of collapse of the embankment in Korea. The assessment of the compaction state of the dam body was a very important check in the safety diagnosis of the embankment. In this study, the correlation between dynamic cone penetration test and plate loading test which is the most typical compaction evaluation technique was analyzed to verify the applicability of the dynamic cone penetration test in evaluating the compaction state of the dam body. The standard penetration tests were carried out six times to define soil properties and depth of the test site. The spatial distributions were obtained by the Kriging method after 15 times of plate loading tests and 47 times of dynamic cone penetration tests. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the spatial distribution of the plate loading test and the dynamic cone penetration test spatial distribution at the constant penetration depth was calculated. The load distribution in the plate loading test and the blow counts at penetration depths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm in the dynamic cone penetration test showed a weak positive correlation.

제체 재료의 다짐 불량에 의한 내부 침식은 국내 제방의 주요 붕괴 원인으로, 제방의 안전진단에 있어서 제체의 다짐 상태 평가는 매우 중요한 점검 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 제체의 다짐상태 평가 시 동적 콘 관입시험의 현장 적용성을 검증하기 위해 대표적인 다짐평가 기법인 평판재하시험에 대해 상관관계를 분석하였다. 시험 부지의 지반 특성 및 토층 심도를 파악하기 위해 표준관입시험을 6회 수행하였다. 평판재하시험 15회, 동적 콘 관입시험 47회 수행 후 크리깅(Kriging) 기법으로 공간분포를 얻었다. 평판재하시험의 공간분포와 일정 관입깊이에서의 동적 콘 관입시험 공간분포 간의 피어슨 상관 계수를 계산하였다. 평판재하시험의 지지력과 관입 깊이 5cm, 10cm, 15cm에서의 동적 콘 관입시험의 타격횟수는 약한 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.
