최근 우리나라는 석회산업의 부산물인 폐석회의 처리문제로 많은 분쟁이 발생하고 있다. 폐석회는 높은 함수비를 갖고 있어 이를 처리하기 위해서는 적절한 탈수과정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 연직배수공법을 활용하여 폐석회의 높은 함수비를 저하시키고 지반의 안정화를 촉진시키기 위한 효율적인 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 즉, 폐석회 슬러지로 구성된 지반내에 기성연직 배수재를 설치하였을때, 압밀도와 간극수압의 소산, 침하량 변화, 지지력 증가를 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 고찰해 보면, PBD가 원형드레인 보다 압밀계수가 2배정도 크게 나타났다. 전반적으로 침하량과 간극수압의 소산, 통수량을 비교하면 두 방법이 서로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나, PBD가 원형드레인보다 초기 간극수가 더 효과적으로 배수되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실내배수실험 후 SEM 촬영에 의한 배수재의 필터 층을 살펴보면, PBD에 비해 원형드레인의 필터가 막힘현상이 심한 것을 알 수 있었다. 폐석회지반의 지반개량효과와 간극수의 배수는 PBD가 우수하며, 원형드레인은 타설간격이 길고 PBD와 같은 섬유배열이 균질한 필터로 교환하여 사용할 때 효율성이 증대할 것이라 예상된다.

Soil vapor extraction(SVE) is an effective and cost efficient method of removing volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons from unsaturated soils. However, soil vapor extraction becomes ineffective in soils with low gas permeability, for example soils with air permeabilities less than 1 Darcy. Prefabricated vertical drains(PVDs) have been used for dewatering fine-grained soils for more than 25 years. Incorporating PVDs in and SVE system can extend the effectiveness of SVE to lower permeability soils by shortening the air flow-paths and ultimately expediting contaminant removal. The objective of the work described herein was to effectively incorporate PVDs into a SVE remediation system and to demonstrate a PVDs enhanced SVE system at full scale. The finding from this research will facilitate the design of field PVD-SVE systems in terms by providing insight into the optimal spacing between PVDs, the radius of influence of the wells and the flow rates to be used to capture and extract gas phase contaminants.

판상의 연직배수재를 이용한 연약지반개량공법에 대한 설계를 보다 정확하게 수행하기 위해서는 판상 배수재의 유효 등가경 결정이 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반의 압밀거동을 고려한 합리적인 판상 배수재의 유효 등가경 결정방법에 대한 고찰을 위하여 일련의 수치해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 탄점소성 3차원압밀 유한요소해석 방법은 동일한 조건의 실내모형실험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다. 또한, 수치해석 결과로부터 판상 연직배수재로 개량된 연약지반의 압밀거동을 재현하였으며, 이를 반영한 판상 연직배수재의 유효 등가경을 산정하였다.

The conventional factor of safety as used in geotechnical engineering does not reflect the degree of uncertainty of the relevant parameters. Then in the geotechnical engineering, there have been efforts to reflect the uncertainties of the geotechnical properties through probabilistic analysis. In this study, a practical method for probabilistic analysis using the Hasofer-Lind reliability index is introduced. The method is based on the perspective of an ellipsoid that just touches the failure surface in the original space of the variables. The method is applied to prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and compared with the result of Monte Carlo Simulation method.

In this paper, the effects of variability of smear zone characteristics induced by installation of prefabricated vertical drains on the preloading design are investigated employing analytical and numerical approaches. Conventional radial consolidation theory has been adopted to conduct analytical parametric studies considering variations of smear zone permeability and extent. FLAC 2D finite difference software has been employed to conduct the numerical simulations. The finite difference analyses have been verified using three case studies including two embankments and a large-scale laboratory consolidometer with a central geosynthetic vertical drain. A comprehensive numerical parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of smear zone permeability and extent on the model predictions. Furthermore, the construction of the trial embankment is recommended as a reliable solution to estimate accurate smear zone properties and minimise the post construction settlement. A back-calculation procedure is employed to determine the minimum required waiting time after construction of the trial embankment to predict the smear zone characteristics precisely. Results of this study indicate that the accurate smear zone permeability and extent can be back-calculated when 30% degree of consolidation is obtained after construction of the trial embankment.

Laboratory model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of surcharge loading rate on the magnitude of lateral displacement of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) improved deposit. The test results indicate that under the condition that the system had sufficient factor of safety (FS) ($FS{\geq}1.2$), for the similar model ground under the same total applied surcharge load, the lateral displacement increases with the increase of loading rate. The test results have been used to check the validity of a previously proposed method for predicting the maximum lateral displacement, and it shows that the data points are around the middle line of the predicted range, which supports the usefulness of the proposed method. The basic idea of the prediction method is an empirical relationship between the normalized lateral displacement (NLD) and a ration of load to the undrained shear strength of the deposit (RLS). The model test results offer some modifications of the NLD-RLS relationship: (1) instead of a bilinear relationship, NLD-RLS relationship may be entirely nonlinear; (2) the upper bound value of RLS for the proposed method can be used may be limited to 2.1 instead of the originally proposed value of 3.0.

Almost every material of PVD (Prefabricated Vertical Drain) has the fatal problem on the condition - the length must shorten with the settlement of the surrounding grounds - which all PVDs must satisfy. Kinking deformation by buckling of PVD due to consolidation settlement Is discussed in this paper. A new testing device to clarify the deformation of PVD under consolidation of surrounding clay was developed and the fiber drain and a PVD made of plastics were compared under the same condition of consolidation using natural clay specimens. The results are also shown in this paper.

Land was reclaimed at the waterfront in the Pluit area of Jakarta for a 90ha residential-cum-recreational development. The reclamation works involve construction of permanent and temporary dykes, fill placement, soil improvement, dredging of internal canals and marina, and construction of canal revetment. The site lies on 16m to 18m thick soft seabed deposits. Settlement of the reclaimed areas will result as a consequence of consolidation of the soft underlying sediments. In order to reduce post-construction settlement to within acceptable levels, a system of vertical drains and preloading was adopted. This paper describes the use of Fibredrain, a prefabricated vertical drain made of jute and coir fibres developed at the National University of Singapore, in the soil improvement works and a secondary use in the construction of perimeter dykes for the reclamation works. The construction of the perimeter dyke must be carried out in such a way that slope stability is on ensured. Bamboo rafts and bamboo clusters with Fibredrain inserted, and stage construction were employed to improve stability during the dyke formation for the Pantai Mutiara project.

최근 경제가 성장함에 따라 산업지역과 거주지의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 양질의 지반상태 지역을 구하기가 어렵다. 경제적이고 균형적인 지역 발전을 위하여 내륙지역 뿐만 아니라 연약지반에도 새로운 프로젝트가 수행되고 있다. 연약지반은 복잡한 공학적 특성과 강도가 낮고 대상 지역의 심도가 깊은 많은 변수를 가지고 있기 때문에 연약지반의 공학적 특성을 정확하게 분석하고 안정적인 계측과 경제적인 설계와 관리방법을 찾는것이 필요하다. 연직배수공법은 프리로딩과 통수능력을 가진 여러 종류의 배수재를 사용하여 연약지반과 퇴적지반의 압밀촉진을 위하여 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 폐석회 지반에 2가지 형태의 연직배수재를 적용하여 통수능력 분석하였다.

GS E&C was awarded the contract for the construction of Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway Package EX-7 from Station Km 72+000 to Station Km 81+300 in December 2008. This project is the $7^{th}$ contract package of the 105.5 km long expressway near Hai Phong city, which includes a FCM-styled bridge along with high embankments over soft ground. For these high embankments, there is a need to treat the soft soil for improving the overall stability during construction and for reducing the post-construction settlement of the expressway. The Designer of this project had adopted four (4) different types of ground improvement techniques to treat the soft ground, including the prefabricated vertical drains (PVD), sand drains (SD), pack drains (PD, or sometimes called packed sand drains), and sand compaction piles (SCP). The main focus of soft soil treatment should be paid attention to the residual settlement after construction. In current design, however, it appeared that the secondary compression (or creep) of the improved soil layer and the consolidation settlement of the lower untreated compressible soil layer have been neglected in the estimation of the post-construction settlement. These uncalculated residual settlements may not only unsatisfy the design criteria but also raise serious problems during service period of this expressway. In this paper, the subsoil condition and current design were reviewed focusing on the employed soft soil treatment method and expected residual settlement.
