본 연구에서는 스미어가 발생한 지반을 모사하고 배수재 간격비에 따른 스미어 영역 겹침 유 무가 차후의 압밀거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 대형압밀챔버와 맨드렐 관입시험기를 이용하여 다양한 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 유한요소해석을 실시하였고 연직배수공법의 효율성을 분석하였다. 실험 및 해석결과 스미어 발생은 침하량을 증가시키지만 스미어 겹침은 반대로 침하량을 감소시키는 경향을 보였다. 또한 연직배수재를 설치하면 압밀이 촉진되지만 배수재 간격을 줄여도 스미어의 영향으로 압밀속도는 크게 빨라지지 않았으며, 오히려 스미어 영역이 겹칠 정도로 배수재 간격을 줄이면 압밀효율이 급격히 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다.

Improvement of soft clay deposit by preloading with vertical drains is one of the most popular techniques followed worldwide. These drains accelerate the rate of consolidation by shortening the drainage path. Although the analytical and numerical solutions available are mostly based on equal strain hypothesis, the adoption of free strain analysis is more realistic because of the flexible nature of the imposed surcharge loading, especially for the embankment loading used for transport infrastructure. In this paper, a numerical model has been developed based on free strain hypothesis for understanding the behaviour of soft ground improvement by vertical drain with preloading. The unit cell analogy is used and the effect of smear has been incorporated. The model has been validated by comparing with available field test results and thereafter, a hypothetical case study is done using the available field data for soft clay deposit existing in the eastern part of Australia and important conclusions are drawn therefrom.

In this study, the full-scale laboratory model test on utilization of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as vertical drains to use an alternative material of sand in soft ground is performed. The settlement and pore water pressure were measured to evaluate the discharge capacity and filed application, and the results were compared and analyzed through the finite element method. The measured and estimated settlement in all vertical drain materials decreases gradually with the load increase. The measured settlement 6.55~8.63 mm, and the estimated by the Hyperbolic model was 7.45~7.92 mm. So the model used for the analysis can be applied to the settlement estimation of the actual field. The variations of pore water pressure with time showed constantly regardless of the load in all vertical drainage materials. The pore water pressure was similarity to that of sand after rapid drawdown. Therefore, it was applicable to the field because discharge capacity was enough to be an alternative material to the sand which had been being used as the vertical drains.

본 연구에서는 정규압밀 및 과압밀상태의 구별없이 이차압밀 거동을 표현할 수 있는 3차원 탄-점성압밀이론에 의한 유한차분해석에 의해 버티칼 드레인으로 개량된 점성토 지반의 압밀지동을 해석하였다. 또한, 탄-접성압밀이론의 적용성에 대해 버티칼 드레인 타설지반의 모형실험결과와 비교하여 검토하였다. 이들 실험결과로부터, 과잉간극수압이 거의 소산된 상태에서의 버티칼 드레인 개량지반에서의 침하량은 1차원 조건에 비해 적으며, 이차압밀과정에서의 잔류침하량 및 침하속도는 1차원 조건보다 크게 나타남을 알았다. 마지막으로, 압밀과정의 거동에 대한 토질정수의 영향을 정규압밀 및 과압밀 상태에 대한 일련의 수치해석의 결과에 의해 조사하였다.

연직드레인의 유효반경내에서 시간과 압밀도 관계를 계산하기 위해 음적차분해법이 적용되었으며 계산시 과잉간극수압의 소산은 두 방향으로 수행된다. 다단계 성토에 의한 지중응력 증분을 계산하기 위해, 지표면하의 연약지반은 등방균질 탄성체로서 간주하였고 각 단계 순간성토시 초기 과잉간극수압은 포화된 점성토내에서 평면변형률 조건과 탄성단계의 간극수압 응답 상태에 대한 Skempton의 간극수압계수를 이용해 계산하였다. 침하에 대해서는, 즉시 및 1 차 압밀침하량만 계산하였고, 2차 압밀침하는 고려하지 않았다. 계산된 과잉간극수압과 지표침하량이 경과시간에 대한 현성측성치와 유사한 것으로 판정되었으며, 본 연구에 적용된 계산기법(압밀특성이 다른 다층지반으로 구성된 연약지반내에 연직배수공법을 적용하고 성토가 다단계 순간성토로 이루어질 경우 과잉간극수압 소산과정을 음적 차분해법으로 근사계산)은 각 연약층의 시간-압밀도 관계를 예측하는데 이용가능할 것으로 생각된다.

This thesis is results of numerical analyses about test results of discharge capacity apparatus using penetration method. Applicability of numerical approach with FEM technique, using Cam-clay model, was confirmed by analyzing the results of standard consolidation test before analyzing test results of discharge capacity apparatus using penetration method. Thus, input parameters for the model was convinced to be appropriate. For numerical analyses about test results of discharge capacity apparatus using penetration method, identical initial and loading conditions during tests were applied to simulate test results correctly. Effects of ground disturbance resulted from installment of vertical drains on the behaviors of consolidation were also simulated. Applicability of numerical approach was investigated by comparing test results with numerical ones. As results of them, both of consolidation settlement were found to be in good agreements so that its applicability was confirmed. As results of numerical estimation, degree of consolidation with the condition of considering smear zone was found to be delayed, compared with results without smear zone. On the other hands, parametric numerical analyses of changing parameters related to smear zone such as permeability and size of smear zone and permeability of vertical drain were also carried out.

In this study, the large scaled model test improved by sand drain was carried out to clarify the internal behavior of the three-dimensional consolidation under different secondary consolidation periods. From the results of model test, the void ratio in the undrained side was lager than in the drained side. In addition, the unconfined compressive strength in the long-term consolidated specimen was larger than that in the short-term consolidated one. It was also found that the unconfined compressive strength was larger in the drained side than in the undrained side. These reasons are considered to be due to the large effective stress by quick pore water pressure dissipation by the short drainage distance in the drained side. Furthermore, in order to investigate the three-dimensional consolidation behavior of clay ground improved by the vertical drain method, the numerical analysis obtained from the three-dimensional elasto-viscous consolidation theory proposed by author (2006) were compared with the test results. It was found that during the three-dimensional consolidation process not only vertical displacement but also radial displacement occurs inside the specimen.

Copper slag is the by-producted material on the proceeding of refining the copper. To verify applications of copper slag to vertical drain material can substitute for the sands in ground improvement, laboratory soil tests and consolidation model tests were conducted. The results of consolidation model test was analyzed as the hyperbolic method. The hyperbolic method assumes that the settlement(s) versus time(t) behavior approaches a straight line describes a hyperbolic reaction. The inverse of the slope of the line would then yield the ultimate settlement. Through in this study, copper slag is compatible with vertical drain material as like sands. Copper slag compaction pile promote the consolidation settlement.

In general, geotechnical properties have many uncertain aspects, thus probabilistic analysis have been used to consider these aspects. It is, however, quite difficult to select an appropriate target probability for a certain structure or construction process. In this study, minimum expected cost design method based on probabilistic analysis is suggested for design of vertical drains generally used to accelerate consolidation in soft clayey soils. A sensitivity analysis is performed to select the most important uncertain parameters for the design of vertical drains. Monte Carlo simulation is used in sensitivity analysis and probabilistic analysis. Total expected cost, defined as the sum of initial cost and expected additive cost, varies widely with variation of input parameters used in design of vertical drain systems. And probability of failure to get the minimum total expected cost varies under the different design conditions. A minimum value of total expected cost is suggested as a design value in this study. The proposed design concept is applicable to unit construction process because this approach is to consider the uncertainties using probabilistic analysis and uncertainties of geotechnical properties.

본 연구에서는 표준압밀, 방사형 일정변형속도 압밀, 로우셀압밀, 복합통수능 및 교란영역시험을 수행하여 연직배수공법의 신뢰성 설계를 위한 파라미터를 산정하였다. 또한 방사형 압밀이론에 대한 민감도 해석, 결정론적 해석 및 확률론적 해석이 수행되었다. 시험 결과를 이용한 방사형 압밀이론의 확률론적 해석 결과와 결정론적 해석 결과를 비교, 분석 하였으며, 그로부터 배수재 배치간격은 확률론적 방법보다 결정론적 방법에서 더 넓게 산정됨을 제시하였다. 이는 결정론적 해석에서는 지반 불확실성을 고려하지 못하였기 때문이다. 두 방법을 이용하여 산정된 배치간격간의 차이는 목표 압밀도에 도달할 수 있는 확률과 수평압밀계수의 변동계수에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
