생석회말뚝공법은 연약점토에 대한 유용한 지반개량공법으로서 그 개량효과는 매우 빨리 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 생석회말뚝 타설 면적비에 따라 연약점토지반의 함수비나 전단강도 등의 특성이 어떻게 변화하는가를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 철제상자에 연약점토로 모형지반을 조성하고 소요 면적비로 생석회말뚝을 타설한 후 적당한 시간간격을 두고 함수비와 전단강도를 측정하는 실내 모형시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 면적비가 증가함에 따라 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 커지지만 면적비가 약 10%를 초과하면 별 차이를 보이지 않으며 같은 면적비에서 생석회말뚝의 지름이 작고 간격이 좁으면 함수비의 감소량과 전단강도의 증가량은 더 크다는 것을 규명하였다. 또한 같은 양을 사용했다면 생석회말뚝공법보다 생석회혼합공법을 적용한 흙의 전단강도 증가량이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study is to evaluate an application of technology to the soft ground stability using quick lime pile in the field. We investigated properties of Korean quick lime by conducting loading test and theoretical consideration about a principle and property of soft ground improvement by quicklime. According to the test results, it was estimated that quick lime pile method has dehydration effect by absorption of quick lime, consolidation effect by swelling of pile, increasing bearing by strength of pile itself and decreasing sinking effect, etc. A material property of quick lime is favorable for construction and considerable strength. In the case of higher strength is required, using cement as additive would increase material strength.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of quick lime piles for soft ground improvement. The field tests based on the results of the laboratory test were performed, and the results of field tests were compared with those of numerical analyses(FEM). The results of the field test showed that the domestic quick lime was very effective in reducing the water contents of the surrounding ground quickly due to its characteristics such as digestion, absorption, and exothermic reactions. Accordingly, consolidation occurred without any additional load increment and the shear strength of surrounding ground was increased more than twice. Therefore the quick lime pile method could be considered as an excellent improvement technique reducing the improvement period for soft ground. For the practical applications of the quick lime pile method, issues such as hydration heat, particulation and equipment enhancement should be solved through continuous research and development.

The coastal area, particularly along the West and South coasts in Korea, is often reclaimed with dredged marine-clay to meet the demand of land capacity. A large number of ground improvement techniques are developed for such a newly formed soft clay deposit. However, the quick lime column method, which is effectively used for the purpose of ground improvement in the other countries, is seldom applied in Korea. This study, therefore, focuses on the development of appropriate soft soil improvement technique by using quick lime column. A model test as well as finite element analysis was conducted to identify the consolidation characteristics around the lime column. Although actual pore water pressure measured from model tests does not coincide with the predictions made by finite element method and Chen ＆ Law's theoretical formula, their trends are quite similar. It is revealed from this study that the pressure caused by the expansion of lime column affects considerably the consolidation characteristics of the surrounding ground.

To evaluate on the applicability of Chemical Compaction Pile (CCP) method to weak soil improvement, two kinds of testing chambers were fabricated and the changes of water content and shear stress associated with soil types, ages and distances from the center of pile were measured with different mixing proportions of CCP such as bottom ash, lime powder and added admixture. As results of test, it was noted that water content and shear stress of ground are mainly affected by the amount of lime powder and increase of the amount corresponds to rapid improvement of soil. And the improvement depended greatly on the types of soil also. It was finally found that CCP developed can be applicable to bearing pile as well as soil improvement since CCP has a bearing capacity enough to carry loads.

The necessity of effective and economical improvement for soft ground is required more and more as mountains form 70% of country. The soft ground improvement methods for ocean development are sand compaction pile method, displacement method are applied to the soft ground improvement from ocean development pre-loading method, air pressure method, well point method, pack drain method, quicklime pile method etc. Among them, the sand compaction pile method, has many problems such as the economical problem on importing materials due to the lack of sand and destroying the nature while collecting sand. To replace the sand with other alternative materials, a study on the bottom ash compaction pile method because the bottom ash has the similar engineering properties with sand. Therefore, in this study, after compose the complex soil with a replacement rate of 10~80% and a large direct shear test, shear test, consolidation test with replacement rates of bottom ash are performed to estimate whether its shear and consolidation characteristics are suitable for the alternative material of compaction pile method. As a result of test, Shear Strength Parameters tend to be increased in accordance with the increase of replacement ratio of bottom compaction pile, and Settlement Reduction Factor and $t_{90}$ tend to be decreased.
