Abstract

Recently, ground pits that have been occurring frequently in urban areas are hindering traffic flow and causing property damages and loss of human life, acting as factors that are threatening the safety of citizens. Therefore, sunken ground must be quickly restored and provisions must be made for additional damage but current domestic detailed standards regarding ground pits and accurate definitions regarding causes and measures to be taken for reoccurrences are lacking. Restoration methods of sunken ground include backfilling by reusing sunken soil or other fill material and paving the road and while this is the most often used method, this only prevents ground from sinking temporarily and can not serve as a fundamental solution. Also, additional ground pits can occur on ground that is reinforced using this method due to faulty backfill material or faulty hardening. This study used Eco-friendly High-Strength Material (EHSM) as restoration material that can be used in the restoration of underground cavities that have occurred due to ground subsidence to analyze the engineered characteristics of modified dredging clay and test pieces made from changed ratios of EHSM and weathered granite soil were uniaxial compression tests were conducted and freezing-thawing tests were conducted to study strength properties according to environmental changes of restoration material, and after tests were concluded by each level, uniaxial compression tests and dynamic elasticity tests were conducted for intensity analysis. Also, to evaluate strength characteristics of the restored ground, dynamic plate load tests were conducted to verify the improvement effectiveness of the restored ground.

최근 도심지에서 많이 발생되는 지반함몰은 교통흐름에 방해가 될 뿐만 아니라 재산적인 손실과 함께 인명피해도 심각하게 발생되는 등 시민들의 안전을 위협하는 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 함몰된 지반을 긴급하게 복구하여 추가 피해에 대비하여야 하는데 현재 국내의 지반 함몰에 대한 구체적인 기준이 미흡하고 함몰 원인의 정확한 규명 및 재발생에 대한 대책이 미흡한 실정이다. 함몰된 지반의 복구방법으로는 함몰된 흙을 재사용하여 되메우기를 하거나 기타 성토재료를 사용하여 되메움 한 후 도로를 포장하는 방법을 가장 많이 사용하고 있는데 이는 지반함몰을 일시적으로 방지하는 방법에 불과할 뿐 근본적인 해결책으로 볼 수 없다. 또한 이러한 방법으로 보강된 지반은 되메움재의 불량 및 다짐불량 등으로 인하여 추가적인 지반함몰이 발생될 가능성을 배제할 없다. 이 연구에서는 지반 침하로 발생된 지하공동의 복구에 활용할 수 있는 복구재료로써 개량된 준설점토의 공학적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 친환경고화재(EHSM) 및 화강풍화토의 혼합비율을 변화시켜 제작한 공시체에 대한 일축압축강도시험을 수행하였으며, 복구재료의 환경변화에 따른 강도 특성을 규명하기 위하여 동결융해시험을 수행하고 각 단계별 시험이 종료되면 강도분석을 위하여 일축압축강도 시험 및 동탄성시험을 수행하였다. 또한 복구된 지반의 강도특성을 평가하기 위하여 동평판재하시험을 실시하여 복구된 지반의 개량효과를 검증하였다.
