Abstract

Lightweight Foamed Soil (LWFS) is a useful material for underground pipe backfill because of reusability of excavated soil and no compaction effect. In this research, a pilot test is carried out and monitoring results are analyzed to investigate behaviors of a flexible pipe, when LWFS is applied as a backfill material. Simultaneously, they are compared with another test case which is backfilled with Saemangeum dredged soil. As a result, the vertical earth pressure of the case backfilled with LWFS slurry presents that decreases as much as 25.6% in comparison with dredged soil and it is only within 10% after solidification. In case backfilled with dredged soil, the horizontal earth pressure is more than 3.6 times of the case used by LWFS and the vertical and horizontal deformation is more than 3.2 and 2.6 times of the case, respectively. It presents excellent effects on earth pressure and deformation reduction of LWFS. The stresses measured at the upper side of the pipe generally present compressive aspects in case backfilled with dredged soil. However, they present tensile aspects in case of LWFS. It is because of negative moment occurred at the center of the pipe due to the buoyancy from LWFS slurry. Conclusively, LWFS using Saemangeum dredged soil is very excellent material to use near the area in comparison with the dredged soil. However, the countermeasure to prevent the buoyancy is required.

본 연구에서는 현장잔토를 활용할 수 있고 다짐이 불필요하여 관로공사에 유용한 경량기포혼합토를 지중매설관의 뒷채움재로 이용할 경우 관로의 거동을 조사하기 위하여 시험시공을 실시하고 계측결과를 분석하였다. 동시에 동일한 조건의 새만금 준설토사 뒷채움 시공결과와 비교하였다. 연직토압의 경우 경량기포혼합토 뒷채움 시 준설토사 대비 초기 슬러리 상태에서 25.6% 가량 저감되었고 양생 후에는 준설토사 토압의 10% 이내에 불과하였다. 준설토사 뒷채움 시에는 경량기포혼합토 대비 수평토압의 경우 3.6배 이상, 연직 및 수평변위는 각각 3.2배와 2.6배 가량의 차이를 나타내어 경량기포혼합토의 토압 및 변위저감 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 매설관 상반부에서 측정된 응력의 경우 토사 뒷채움 시 대체로 압축응력이 발생한 반면, 경량기포혼합토를 타설한 경우 초기 슬러리 상태에서 발생한 부력으로 인하여 고정된 양단부를 지점으로 부(-)의 모멘트가 발생함으로써 상반부에 인장응력이 발생하는 결과를 얻었다. 결론적으로, 새만금에서 준설된 토사를 이용한 경량기포혼합토는 인근 개발지에서 매설관 뒷채움재로 활용하는데 있어 준설토사와 비교하여 매우 우수한 재료이나 타설 시 부력에 대한 대책이 필요하다.
