Recently, the demand for industrial and residental land are increasing with economic growth, but it is difficult to obtain the area for development with good ground condition. Various kinds of vertical drain technologies such as sand drain, sand compaction pile, packed drain, PVD are commercially available to improve the soft ground. Discharge capacity is the important factor of vertical drains. However, under field conditions, discharge capacity is changed with various reasons, such as soil condition, overburden pressure, and so on. In this paper, the experimental study was carried out to estimate the discharge capacity of four different types of PBD, PBD for double core PBD, deep type PBD, X type PBD, general type PBD. Characteristics of the discharge capacity for the surcharge load and hydraulic gradient were analysed. The double core PBD was excellent for discharge capacity in this study.

서해안에 위치한 특정 연구현장에서 연약지반의 압밀거동을 파악하기 위한 소산시험을 포함한 콘관입시험을 수행했다. 연구현장에서 시험시공으로 적용한 연약지반개량공법으로는 압성토공법, 두 종류의 페이퍼드레인 공법, 팩드레인 공법이었으며 각각의 공법들에 있어 현장에서의 지반개량에 따른 압밀거동을 판정하기 위해서 적용되었다. 콘관입시험은 근본적으로 지반개량 전과 후에 보링, 표준관입시험, 압밀시험과 함께 수행되었다. 실내실험과 피조콘관입시험을 비교한 결과, 연약지반의 표층에서는 상당한 지반개량효과가 있었으나 표층아래 심층지반에서는 그렇치 않았다. 그리고 지반개량 후, 10개월이 지난 시점에 압밀시험과 소산시험 결과를 통하여 분석한 수평압밀계수는 압성토 방법을 제외한 3가지 개량공법을 적용한 지점에서 압밀계수는 감소하여 개량효과를 간접적으로 판단할 수 있었다.

To investigate the applicability of Precious Slag Ball as the alternative material such as vertical drains, it is necessary to check the drainage effect of it in the field construction. In order to attain an successful design it is important to predict problems encountered in field construction. Accordingly, in this study the laboratory tests were executed under different conditions before applying of the field. 4 cases including Precious Slag Ball, sand+Precious Slag Ball, pack Precious Slag Ball and sand as vertical drains were conducted, and under the base of the laboratory tests the field test was executed and analyzed. By the upper results it is apposite to use Precious Slag Ball as vertical drains.

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.
