Abstract

If roads, bridges, buildings, etc. are built on the ground with soft clay or organic soil, there may be a lot of problems in geotechnical engineering such as settlement and stability due to the large settlement and lack of bearing capacity. In extreme cases, it may appear due to shear failure or collapse of the constructed structure, so a ground improvement method is indispensable to increase the strength of the ground and to suppress settlement. In this study, the settlement according to each groundwater level condition was analyzed using the measurement results for the groundwater level conditions, one of the important factors in predicting the settlement in dredged and reclaimed ground, and the groundwater level conditions applied to the settlement analysis were proposed by comparing it with settlement generated 5 years after construction. As a result of the analysis, it is judged that it is reasonable to apply the measured groundwater level during construction and the low water ordinary neap tide (L.W.O.N.T) during load application for the groundwater level in the settlement analysis. In addition, in the case of the dredged and reclaimed ground, it is estimated that the water pressure acting on the clay layer is nonlinear, as the result of the observations of the head of water at the observation points above and below the in-situ clay layer were different.

연약한 점성토나 유기질토로 구성된 지반위에 도로, 교량, 건물 등이 축조된다면 침하량이 과대하여지고, 지지력이 부족하여 침하 및 안정성 등 지반 공학적으로 많은 문제점들이 발생될 수 있다. 극단적인 경우, 축조된 구조물의 전단파괴 또는 붕괴로 까지 나타날 수 있어, 지반의 강도증가 및 침하억제 등을 위한 지반개량공법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 점토로 준설매립된 지반에서의 침하량 예측 시 중요한 요소 중 하나인 지하수위 조건에 대하여 계측결과를 이용하여 각 지하수위 조건에 따른 침하량을 분석하고 준공 5년 후의 발생침하량과 비교하여 침하분석 시 적용 지하수위 조건에 대해 제안하였다. 분석 결과, 침하분석 시의 지하수위는 시공중에는 계측 지하수위를 적용하고, 공용중에는 소조평균저조위(L.W.O.N.T)를 적용하는 것이 합리적일 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 점토로 준설매립된 지역의 경우 원지반점토층 상부 통수층에서의 수두 관측결과와 원지반점토층 하부 통수층에서의 수두가 다르게 나타났으며, 이로 인하여 점토층에서 작용하는 수압은 비선형적일 것으로 추정된다.
