Abstract

The degree of compaction of embankments is generally measured using the sand replacement method or a soil density gauge. However, these methods include coarse particles, which are relatively large. The degree of compaction is overestimated if the in-situ soil density is simply compared with the density obtained from a Proctor compaction test (KS F 2312, 2001), because the density of coarse particles is higher than that of soil. However, there is no recommended correction for the coarse particle ratio in Korea, thus intentionally increasing the degree of compaction for structures to which large loads are applied or for which compaction is critical. Here, a correction considering the Korean Proctor compaction test and the difference between the maximum allowable particle sizes was recommended after corrections for coarse particle ratios in other countries were collected and analyzed. The degree of compaction was re-estimated by applying the recommended correction to the results of both Proctor compaction and sand replacement tests. The degree of compaction without the correction of coarse particle ratio was overestimated, because the re-estimated degree of compaction decreased as the coarse particle ratio increased. The relatively accurate results obtained from the field application of the correction will offer long-term cost savings due to reduced maintenance fees during operation.

현장에서 일반적으로 성토체의 다짐도 판정을 위해 사용되는 방법으로 들밀도시험이나 밀도계에 의한 측정 등이 사용되는데 이 방법들을 적용시 성토재료에 입경의 크기가 비교적 큰 조립자가 일정량 포함되어 있다. 조립자는 밀도가 흙 보다 높기 때문에 조립자를 고려하지 않고 현장에서 측정한 밀도를 실내다짐시험(KS F 2312, 2001)에서 얻은 최대건조밀도와 비교하여 다짐도 만족 여부를 판단하게 되면 다짐도는 과대평가 된다. 하지만 현재 우리나라 규정에는 조립자율에 따른 보정 방법이 명확하게 제시되어 있지 않아 큰 하중이 작용하거나 다짐이 매우 중요한 구조물 등에서는 다짐도의 기준을 더 크게 적용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국외의 여러 가지 조립자 보정 방법을 종합하고 분석하여 우리나라의 실내다짐시험 방법, 허용최대입경 차이 등을 고려하여 적용 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 제안된 방법에 의해 실내다짐시험과 현장에서의 들밀도시험을 수행하고 다짐도를 재평가 하였다. 그 결과 제안된 조립자 보정 방법에 의해 재산정된 다짐도는 조립자율이 높을수록 감소하여 조립자 보정을 하지 않았을 경우 다짐도는 과대평가되는 것으로 분석되었고, 조립자 보정을 통해서 산정된 다짐도를 실제 현장에 적용 할 경우, 추후 유지 보수 측면에서 더 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.
