Abstract

Recently, in Korea, problems related with unstability of slope or sinkhole in urban area due to erosion of compacted granite soil which was used as a backfill or embankment material have been treated as important issues. Small hole might develop inside of backfill area due to erosion of not only weathered granite soil but also clay, silt, fine sand size particles when underground water flows. Once erosion starts in a soil mass, erosion rate increases gradually to cause rapid destruction. In this study, a rotating cylinder test (RCT) was performed to evaluate the hydraulic resistance characteristics of compacted weathered granite soil under various relative densities and preconsolidation pressures. Meanwhile, an image analysis method was introduced to analyze radius of irregularly eroded sample. It was found that image analysis is an effective means of minimizing the error in calculating a critical shear stress and threshold shear stress on the irregularly eroded sample. Furthermore, in general, hydraulic resistance capacity increases with the increase of relative density and preconsolidation pressure.

현재 우리나라에서는 해저케이블 또는 해상구조물 기초부, 흙댐, 도로공사 등의 성토재료로 이용된 다짐풍화토에서 침식(Erosion)으로 인한 사면의 불안정성, 오래된 상･하수관이 누수되거나 파열되어 발생하는 도심지 싱크홀 등의 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이와 같이 건설재료로 많이 이용된 풍화토는 지하수 및 지표수 흐름이 발생할 때 다양한 입자크기의 점토, 실트 및 세립의 모래들과 함께 침식되거나 세굴 되어 소규모 공동을 형성하며, 일단 침식이나 세굴이 발생되기 시작하면 점차 침식율이 증가하게 되어 급격한 파괴에 도달한다. 본 연구에서는 회전식 수리저항성능 실험기(RCT)를 이용하여 다양한 상대밀도와 선행압밀압력으로 압밀된 다짐화강풍화토의 수리저항성능을 평가하였다. 또한 회전으로 인하여 일정하게 세굴되지 않은 시료의 단면해석을 위해 영상처리기법을 도입하였다. 연구결과 침식으로 인하여 시료의 형상이 일정하지 않는 경우, 계산된 임계전단응력에 큰 오차가 발생되는 것으로 확인되었으며 제안된 영상처리기법으로 보정된 반지름을 이용할 경우보다 정확한 한계 및 임계전단응력 계산이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상대밀도와 선행압밀압력이 증가할수록 한계전단응력은 증가하나 임계전단응력은 선행압밀하중 증가에 의한 효과는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 선행압밀압력에 의한 응력이력보다는 초기 상대밀도의 효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.
