Abstract

Purpose: The consolidation settlement of soft ground is dependent on the distribution of pore water pressure which is also affected by hydraulic conductivities (boundary condition) of layers, thickness of clayey soil layer and surcharge. Results: However, the current consolidation analyses are mostly based on Terzaghi’s consolidation theory that assumes the initial pore water pressure ratio with depth to be constant. In this study, numerical analysis are carried out to investigate the variation of pore water pressure dissipation with depth and thickness of clayey soil layer, time, surcharge as well as drainage conditions. Conclusion: Comparative study with Terzaghi’s consolidation theory is also conducted. The result shows that Terzaghi’s consolidation theory should be used with caution unless it is ideally corresponded to the isochrone.

연구목적 : 연약지반의 압밀침하는 연약 점토층 상하부에 분포하는 지층의 투수성(경계조건), 점토층의 두께, 그리고 하중 재하 폭에 따라 간극수압 분포특성이 달라짐에도 불구하고, 현재 설계의 대부분은 점토층의 깊이에 따른 초기간극비가 일정하다는 가정 하에 제안된 Terzaghi 1차원 압밀이론에 의한 아이소크론(Isochrone)을 이용하여 압밀시간을 산정하고 있다. 연구방법 : 따라서 본 연구에서는 하중 재하 폭, 점토층의 두께, 그리고 점토층 하부의 배수조건이 변화할 때 발생하는 과잉간극수압 소산형태를 수치해석적 방법으로 점토의 깊이별로 시간에 따른 과잉간극수압 변화를 체크하고, 이를 Terzaghi 1차원 압밀이론에 의한 아이소크론과 비교․분석하여 합리적인 압밀시간 결정방법을 제시하고자 한다. 연구결과 : 본 연구 결과, Terzaghi가 제안한 압밀도-시간계수 곡선에 가장 이상적인 경우가 아닌 경우에는 Terzaghi 1차원 압밀이론에 의한 압밀도-시간계수 곡선, 압밀시간 산정에 유의해야 하며, 가능한 수치해석에 의한 압밀도-시간계수 곡선을 사용하여 압밀시간을 산정하여야 한다.
