Abstract

Cemented soils have been widely used in road and dam construction, and recently ground improvement of soft soils. The strength of such cemented soils can be tested by using cored sample or laboratory-prepared specimen through unconfined compression or triaxial tests. It takes time to core a sample or prepare a testing specimen in the laboratory. In a certain situation, it is necessary to determine the in-situ strength of cemented soils very quickly and on time. In this study, the relation between unconfined compressive strength and shear wave velocity was investigated for predicting the in-situ strength of cemented soils. A small cemented specimen with 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height was prepared by Nakdong river sand and ordinary Portland cement. Its cement ratios were 4, 8, 12, and 16% and air cured for 7, 14, and 28 days. For recycling of resources, a blast furnace slag was also used with sodium hydroxide as an alkaline activator. The shear wave velocity for cemented soils was measured and then unconfined compressive strength test was carried out. As a cement ratio increased, the shear wave velocity and unconfined compressive strength increased due to increased density and denser structure. The relation between unconfined compressive strength and shear wave velocity increased nonlinearly for cemented soils with less than 16% of cement ratio.

시멘트 혼합토는 도로 및 댐 현장을 비롯하여 최근에는 연약지반 개량공법에도 자주 사용되고 있다. 시멘트 혼합토의 강도는 주로 현장에서 채취한 코어나 실험실에서 양생한 공시체를 이용하여 실내에서 일축압축시험이나 삼축압축시험을 통하여 측정되고 있다. 이와 같이 현장에서 시료를 채취하거나 실내에서 공시체를 양생하기 위해서는 상당한 비용과 시간이 소요된다. 하지만 때론 현장에서 빠르고 신속하게 지반의 고결 정도나 강도를 판단할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현장에서 고결된 지반의 강도 예측을 위한 기초연구로서 고결모래의 전단파속도와 일축압축강도의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 낙동강모래에 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 4, 8, 12, 16%로 혼합하여 다짐방법으로 직경 5cm, 높이 10cm의 소형 공시체 제작한 다음, 대기 중에서 7, 14, 28일 동안 양생하였다. 또한 최근 자원 재활용을 위해 자주 사용되고 있는 고로슬래그에 알칼리 활성화제인 수산화나트륨(NaOH)을 혼합하여 고결토를 제작하였다. 양생이 완료된 고결모래에 먼저 전단파속도시험을 실시한 다음 일축압축시험을 통하여 강도를 측정하였다. 고결모래의 시멘트비와 고로슬래그비가 증가할수록 공시체의 건조밀도가 증가하고 생성된 수화물로 인해 구조가 치밀해져 일축압축강도가 증가하면서 전단파속도 또한 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 고결제를 16% 이하로 혼합한 고결모래의 경우 전단파속도와 일축압축강도의 상관관계는 비선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다.
