Abstract

The present study is suggested to estimate the degree of secondary consolidation caused by various changes of stress such as loading, unloading and reloading in improving poor subsoil through pre-compression loading construction method and, for this purpose, examined the characteristics of the consolidation of Kunsan clay through incremental loading test (IL) using standard consolidation tester and constant loading rate test (CLR), which were adapted from the constant rate of strain test (CRS). In addition, after CRS test, this study determined the characteristics of secondary consolidation and relationships among void ratio, effective stress and time according to the ratio of effective over-consolidation on reloading at the point of time of random expansion. Kunsan clay had larger expansion and smaller secondary consolidation settlement when the ratio of effective over-consolidation was high. In addition, when loading was applied after the load was removed at once, the secondary consolidation coefficient $C'_{\alpha}$ was smaller than that when the load was removed gradually, and when the ratio of effective over-consolidation was over 1.4 a similar value was produced. Based on the entire settlement resulting from reloading, the secondary consolidation coefficient $C"_{\alpha}$ increased non-linearly with the lapse of time but the final value was similar to that in the case of rapid removal. The strain velocity of void ratio was in a regular linear relationship with the increase of loading time regardless of the ratio of effective over-consolidation in both tests and it grew smaller with the increase of the ratio of effective over-consolidation.tion.

본 연구는 사전압밀재하공법에 의해 연약지반을 개량시 재하-제하-재재하와 같은 다양한 응력변화에 의한 2차압밀량을 추정하고자, 일정변형률 압밀시험기(CRS)를 응용한 일정재하시험장치(CLR)와 표준압밀시험기를 이용한 단계 재하시험(IL)에 의해 군산점토의 압밀특성을 비교 고찰하였다. 또한 CRS시험 후 임의 팽창시점에서 재재하시 유효과압밀비에 따른 2차압밀특성과 간극비-유효응력-시간관계 등을 파악하였다. 군산점토는 유효 과압밀비가 클수록 팽창량은 크고 2차압밀 침하량은 작게 발생하고 있으며, 일시에 하중 제거 후, 재하하는 경우에서 2차압밀계수 $C'_{\alpha}$ 는 완속제거시 보다 작게 평가되고, 유효 과압밀비가 1.4이상인 경우는 유사한 값을 제시하고 있다. 재재하시 발생되는 전체침하량을 기준으로 한 2차압밀계수 $C"_{\alpha}$는 경과시간에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하나 최종값은 급속제거시와 비교하여 유사한 값을 제시하고 있다. 간극비 변형속도는 재하시간이 증가할수록 유효 과압밀비에 관계없이 2개의 시험 모두 일정한 선형관계이고, 유효 과압밀비가 증가할수록 작게 나타나고 있다.고 있다.
