In this research, the composite grounds including original clay and soil-cement were constructed for conducting uniaxial compression test. Strength and deformation properties were analysed using results of laboratory tests with variations of water content of clay, replacement ratio and cement content. Numerical simulation using 3D distinct element method was conducted for soil cement. For strength of composite ground that contains more than cement contents of 15 %, it is more effective to increase cement content than increase of replacement ratio. Strength and elastic modulus of composite ground could be predicted by regression equations using uniaxial compression strength of clay, cement content of soil cement and replacement ratio. For strength and elastic modulus of soil cement, which is most important things for predicting final strength and elastic modulus of composite ground, numerical simulation using the distinct element method adapted bonding model could be used to verify laboratory test, and predict strength and elastic modulus.

굴폐각은 굴양식 후 남는 것으로 남해안에서 주로 집중적으로 발생하는데 연간 28만톤의 발생량 중 상당양은 폐기물로 계속 누적되고 혹은 불법매립되어 환경오염 문제까지 발생시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산업폐기물로 분류되는 굴패각을 지반공학 분야에서 활용하기 위한 대안으로 해성점토와 혼합하여 매립재료로써의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 대형 압밀기를 이용하여 실험을 실시하고 이를 토대로 기초자료를 획득하고자 하였다. 원형의 굴패각을 파쇄하여 입도별로 분류하고 이중 사질토 입경 크기의 재료에 대한 기본 물성치를 평가하고 지반 재료로써의 적용성를 분석하였다. 해성점토 내의 굴패각입자의 혼합비를 변화시켜 만들어진 혼합토에 대한 압밀 실험 결과 굴패각의 혼합율이 증가할수록 체적변화율이 작게 되고, 침하 속도는 빠르게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 압밀응력의 일부를 굴패각 입자의 골격구조가 부담함으로써 실제 점토부분에 작용하는 압밀응력은 굴패각 혼합율이 증가할수록 작아지는 것으로 판단된다.

지반이 산업용 기름으로 오염될 때 지반의 강도변화 특성을 연구하기 위하여 모래와 실트질 모래 및 카오리나이트를 대상으로 함수비아 함유비를 변화시키며 다짐실험, 투수실험, 비배수상태에서 삼축압축실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 밀도가 같은 모래의 경우는 기름을 혼합하였을 경우가 물을 혼합하였을 경우에 비해 약 7%정도 전단 강도가 떨어지고 실트질 모래와 카오리나이트 경우는 기름을 혼합하였을 경우가 물을 혼합하였을 경우에 비해 점토입자와 기름의 화학적, 물리학적인 상호 작용으로 5~15%정도 강도가 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 일반적으로 산업용 기름 유출에 따라 토양오염 및 수질오염으로 동.식물에 큰 영향을 주고 있으나 토질역학적 거동은 초기 상태 및 모래에서는 전단 강도가 감소하였으나 점성토의 경우는 기름 유출 또는 유입에 따라 응집성, 부착성이 생겨 강도증가 현상을 가져와 큰 문제점이 없는 것으로 판단된다.

Lightweight Foamed Soil (LWFS) could be the substitute of normal soils used in backfill to earth structures and embankment materials far soft ground improvement in port and harbor project because of its effectiveness in settlement reduction and earth pressure decrease due to its lightness. A series of triaxial and unconfined compression tests were performed to investigate behaviors of LWFS composed of dredged soils, cement and air foam, and cured at underwater conditions. The density of LWFS will increase if LWFS is cured at underwater conditions because high water pressure makes air foam disappear or demolish during the curing compared with LWFS cured at normal air conditions. This paper is to find the mechanical behaviors of LWFS cured at seawater depth of 5.0 m and 10.0 m, respectively, which simulates underwater curing conditions by underwater pressure simulator chamber developed during this study. In addition, new normalized factor formula, which takes account of mixing design conditions determining compressive strength of LWFS, was proposed to consider mixing design factor fur LWFS.

In this study, various laboratory tests using bottom ash, which has similar engineering properties with sand, were conducted in order to solve the problem of clogging in granular compaction pile and to address sand supply and demand. In particular, testing was performed to help reduce clogging and minimize voids in a crushed stone compaction pile constructed in soft ground. Based on compaction tests and large diameter direct shear tests, an optimum mixing ratio was determined to be 80:20 (crushed stone to bottom ash) because an 80:20 mixing ratio showed the highest shear strength. Test results showed that as the bottom ash content increased above 20%, internal friction angle decreased. Another test method showed freezing and thawing had little effect when the replacement ratio was over 40%. Therefore, bottom ash mixed compaction piles in soft ground are most economical at a 40% replacement ratio.

In this study, laboratory test was carried out on uniaxial compressive strength by making 320 specimens in total, which were divided into two groups considering the curing time of 7 and 28 days for 80 cases mixed with stabilizers of 8%, 10%, 12%, 14% of 20 cases of clayey, sandy, and gravel mixed ground conditions to understand laboratory strength characteristics of deep mixing specimen for field application in various ground conditions. As a laboratory result, all specimen showed a clear tendency to have uniaxial compressive strength increase as the curing time and the stabilizer mixing ratio increased, and the strength increments depending on the age by ground types were, around 40.0% for clayey and gravel mixed grounds, 48.4% for sandy grounds which was the highest, and for the increment of stabilizers, around 37.0% for grounds with mixing ratio less then 14%, and 49.6% when the ratio was 14% which was the highest. Also, with sandy grounds, it showed a tendency to have a constant amount of strength increment as the stabilizer mixing ratio increased, for clayey mixed grounds, the strength increment tendency seemed to be similar to gravel mixed grounds. Due to these tendencies, it is concluded that we are able to propose a stabilizer mixing ratio for various ground conditions.

Examined a practical use possibility of paper fly ash that is industrial by-product as a stabilization/hardening agent. Performed unconfined compression test, scanning electron microscopy and pH analysis etc. for 100% paper fly ash-soil mixtures and each paper fly ash-soil mixtures that add cement as the second addition and sulfate component of small quantity for strength promotion and so on. In all cases, strength of admixtures increased according as curing time and mixing ratio increases but almost strength is revealed at mixing early and expressed maximum strength increase efficiency at mixing ratio 9% with raw soil. Compare with the case that use paper fly ash only, in case of cement amount 10~30% was included in paper fly ash, strength of admixtures increases two times and 40% was included, that increases from five to eight times.

본 논문에서는 석탄회 매립지반의 액상화 가능성을 평가하기 위해 순수 모래시료와 더불어서 모래시료와 석탄회가 혼합된 모래시료에 대한 일련의 진동삼축실험을 변형률제어 방법으로 수행하였다. 실험결과 진동하중에 의해서 시료 내에 발생하는 간극수압의 크기는 작용하는 전단변형률의 크기에 심각하게 영향을 받고, 작용하는 전단변형률이 지반의 한계전단변형률 보다 작은 경우에는 진동수가 높은 조건에서도 간극수압이 발생하지 않음을 알았다. 또한 전단변형률이 약 0.1%보다 작고 한계전단변형률에 가까운 경우에는 순수 모래시료와 비교하여 본 논문에서 조사한 석탄회 함유율 범위 (10%~30%)의 시료에서 간극수압이 더 크게 발생하였다. 반면에, 전단변형률이 큰 경우에는 순수 모래시료에서 간극수압이 크게 발생하는 추세를 보였다. 반복 전단에 따른 간극수압의 발생량은 전반적으로 석탄회 함유율이 증가할수록 커지는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 해안이나 하천에 인접한 한계지 개발에 있어서 사질토에 석탄회를 혼합 매립하여 지반을 조성하는 경우에 액상화에 대해서 불안정한 지반이 될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
