Abstract

In the Nakdong River plain a very thick clayey soils are covered widely. Since the early 1990's, some huge reclamation projects have been performed for the development of industrial and residential complexes and so on. Despite a large number of soil investigations have been carried out for the projects, the geotechnical properties have never been elucidated well, so that the settlements of the ground due to the mischaracterized properties were greatly underestimated. Therefore, it has been needed to evaluate definitely the characteristics of the clayey soils, particularly for the compressibility characteristics to help understand the settlement behavior. For the compressibility characteristics of the Pusan clays, physical index and consolidation tests were conducted on the reconstituted and undisturbed samples. Using the result of physical index, the Pusan clays could be divided into two different units, which have different depositional environments. According to the concepts of Burland (1990) and Nagaraj et. al. (1990), the intrinsic state line and field compression curve of the Pusan clays could be established. It could be found from their concepts that the Pusan clays are under the cemented and young normally consolidated state and largely consisted of two units. The cementation of the clays was as well identified by compression index ratio (Tsuchida et. al.,1991) and sensitivity (Leroueil et. al.,1983).

낙동강하구 지역에는 두터운 점성토 퇴적지반이 넓게 분포되어 있다. 1990년대 초반부터 이러한 점성토 퇴적지반을 이용한 공업 및 주거단지 등의 확보를 위해 개발이 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 이 과정에서 수많은 지반조사가 실시되었음에도 불구하고 이들 점성토 지반의 토질특성이 명확하게 규명되지 못했으며, 또한 잘못 결정된 토질정수로 인하여 지반침하 예측이 과소평가 되는 등의 문제점을 안고있다. 이러한 침하거동을 이해하기 위해서는 압축특성을 포함한 토질특성을 명확히 규명하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 부산점토의 압축특성을 규명하기 위하여 재구성된 시료와 불교란 시료를 이용하여 기본적인 물성시험과 압밀시험이 수행되었다. 물리적 특성으로부터 부산점토는 상부와 하부층의 구분이 뚜렷하게 나타나며, 퇴적환경이 서로 상이한 것을 알 수 있었다. Bluland(1990)와 Nagaraj(2000)의 연구를 배경으로 부산점토의 고유상태선과 현장압축곡선을 구할 수 있었으며, 부산점토가 고결작용이 발달된 장년기(young) 정규압밀 점토라는 것과 대개 2개의 성질이 다른 지층으로 구성되어 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 압축지수비(Tsuchida et.al.,1991)와 예민비(Leroueil et. al.,1983)로부터 고결효과를 확인할 수 있었다.
