Abstract

The compression index, which represents the compressibility of clay, is generally obtained from the consolidation test, or has been predicted by empirical correlations with soil properties. In this study, the results of consolidation tests on natural and reconstituted Busan and Inchon clays are analyzed to figure out the sedimentation state and its effect on empirical correlations. Results of analysis show that the void index of Busan clay is higher than SCL while the void index of Inchon clay is lower than SCL. By comparing prediction errors with ${\Delta}e_r$, which represents the sedimentation state of clay, it is shown that errors predicting the compressibility based on the liquid limit and plasticity index decrease as ${\Delta}e_r$ increases. Supplemented correlations predicting the compression index of Busan and Inchon clays are suggested using these relationships.

압축지수는 점토의 압축특성을 나타내는 대표적인 물성치로, 압밀시험을 통해 직접 결정하거나 기본 물성으로부터 경험적으로 추정한다. 본 연구에서는 부산 및 인천점토의 퇴적상태를 파악하고 이것이 압축지수 추정식에 미치는 영향에 분석하였다. 이를 위해 부산 및 인천 점토의 재성형점토 압밀시험을 수행하고 자연점토 압밀시험 결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 부산점토는 SCL보다 높은 간극지수를, 인천점토는 SCL보다 낮은 간극지수를 나타냈다. 퇴적상태를 나타내는 ${\Delta}e_r$을 압축지수 추정오차와 비교한 결과 액성한계 및 소성지수로 추정한 압축지수의 추정오차는 ${\Delta}e_r$이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 관계를 이용하여 부산 및 인천점토의 압축지수를 보다 정확히 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.
