Abstract

Generally, the effect of the cement deep mixing method on the improvement of clay ground is far greater than the effect of physical improvement. Although it leads to great improvement strength in the initial stage, there are not many constructional precedents in Korea and it is hard to manage quality according to the cement-clay mixing method. In order to figure out the strength characteristics according to the mixing ratio of cement, sand, and clay and the improvement characteristics of weak ground according to the forms of the specimens to be improved, marine clay was used in this study to conduct the uniaxial compression test and soil bin model test. The test piece specimens for the uniaxial compression test were mixed with sand in a fixed ratio with the criterion of the water cement ratio. The cement was mixed with clay in the ratios of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% to the clay weight. The moisture content of the soil ground was made in the ratios of 40%, 60%, and 80%. The test piece specimens went through curing by moistening for 7, 14, and 28 days and underwent the uniaxial compression test according to the curing period. For the bearing test, the soil bin models were made and the ground improved in the Mat type was formed. After that, the bearing strength was compared in this study according to the improvement ratio and analyzed the intervening effect between the walls of the improved specimens.

일반적으로 심층혼합공법에 의한 점토지반의 개량효과는 물리적 개량효과에 비해서 훨씬 크며 조기에 큰 개량 강도를 얻을 수 있으나, 국내 시공실적이 부족하고 시멘트-점토의 혼합방법에 따른 품질관리에 문제점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트, 모래, 점토의 배합비에 따른 강도특성과 연직MAT의 형태에 따른 연약지반의 개량특성을 파악하기 위해 해성점토를 이용하여 일축압축 강도시험과 모형토조시험을 수행하였다. 일축압축강도 시험을 위한 공시체는 시멘트와 물의 중량비를 기준으로하여 모래를 일정 비율로 혼합하였고, 시멘트는 점토중량대비 각각 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%를 혼합하였고 대상지반토의 함수비는 40%, 60%, 80%로 조정하여 제작하였다. 공시체는 습윤방법을 이용하여 7일, 14일, 28일간 양생하여 양생기간에 따른 일축압축강도시험을 수행하였다. 지지력시험은 모형토조를 제작하고 Mat식으로 개량한 지반을 형성한 다음 개량률에 따른 지지력을 비교하고 연직MAT 장벽 상호간의 간섭효과를 분석하였다.
