Abstract

Tn this study, model soil deposits are prepared in large test chambers to minimize the scale effects. Also, slurry of mixture containing 50 percent kaolin clay and 50 percent silica has been consolidated to simulate the process of natural soil deposit formation and to reduce the consolidation time. To provide a more detailed description of varying soil properties along the soil profile of model clay deposits and to compare the in-situ test results with those from prototype tests, miniature in-situ tests, including vane shear, piezoprobe, and cone penetration tests were conducted in each of the clay deposits. The current results indicate that consistent soil deposits were prepared for the current and previous test programs. Also, reasonable predicting methods of prototype behavior based on model in-situ test results were suggested in this study by examining differences between the test results from both the model and prototype tests.

모형지반을 이용한 각종 모형말뚝실험에서 자주 문제가 되는 것이 크기효과에 따른 실험의 정량적 분석에 대한 한계성이다. 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 대형의 원통형 토조에 인공지반을 제작함으로써 지반 특성에 대한 크기효과를 최소화하도록 노력하였다. 또한 지반의 자연생성과정을 재현하고 빠를 시간내에 방밀을 완펄하기 위하여 케올리나이트와 실리카를 1:1로 혼합한 슬러리를 토조에서 압밀하여 인공지반을 생성하였다. 본 연구에서 마련한 모든 인공지딴의 특성을 자세히 파악하고 실제의 지반특성과 비교하기 위하여 베인시험기, 피조프로브, 콘관입시험기 등 여러가지의 원위치 소형조사장비를 제작 및 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 행한 원위치 시험 결과, 앞선 연구에서 밝힌 시험결과와 일치하는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 인공지반에서 행한 모형실험결과와 실제 상황과의 차이를 규명함으로써 모형실험결과에 근거하여 실물의 거동을 예측하는 방법을 찾고자 차였다.
