Abstract

Vertical cutoff walls such as steel pipe sheet piles (SPSPs) have been commonly applied for the construction of the offshore waste landfill site. Because the SPSPs are sequentially installed by connecting their joints to those of adjacent piles, their mechanical stability should be ensured against the inherent external forces on the sea. The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural performances of the newly developed types of SPSP joint compared with those of other joint types. The problems of the traditional SPSP joints are investigated, and an advanced joint shape of SPSP, which is named double H with L-T (DHLT) joint, are designed for improving the constructability and maintenance. Full-scale models of the DHLT joint are manufactured, and then its joint areas are filled with grout material. After 28 days of curing time, compressive and tensile strength tests were performed on the joint models and the test results were compared with those of the traditional joints. Experimental results show that the structural capacities of the DHLT joint models are lower than those of traditional joints due to the influence of grout and steel members. In the cases of the compressive strength test, especially, bending occurs on steel H-beam with no distinct cracks in grout due to the asymmetrical structure of joint which has no reaction force. This study shows that the performance of the SPSP joint can be improved by considering the influence factors on the structural capacities estimated by the experimental tests.

해상처분장의 호안구조물 및 연직차수공으로 강관시트파일이 주로 사용되며, 강관시트파일은 이음부를 연결하여 주열식으로 설치가 되는 만큼 해상 고유의 횡방향 외력에 대한 구조적인 안정성이 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 새로 개발된 연직차수공 이음부의 구조적인 성능을 평가하는 것이다. 먼저 기존 연직차수공 이음부의 문제점을 고찰하고 시공 및 유지보수 측면에서 기존 이음부 형식과의 차별성을 갖도록 새로운 형태의 DHLT(Double H with L-T) 연직차수공 이음부를 개발하였다. 개발된 DHLT 이음부의 실규모 모형을 제작하고 이음부에 그라우트를 채워 양생시킨 후 압축 및 인장강도실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 기존 연구결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과, DHLT 이음부의 압축강도와 인장강도는 그라우트와 강재의 영향으로 인해 기존 이음부 연구결과에 비해 다소 과소평가되었다. 특히 압축강도 실험의 경우 DHLT 이음부의 비대칭 형상으로 인해 그라우트에 균열이 발생하기 전에 강재에서 먼저 항복이 발생하는 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통해 연직차수공 개발시 이음부 강도발현에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 요인을 파악할 수 있었으며, 이를 근거로 더 향상된 연직차수공을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
