Abstract

This study evaluated the stability and deformation subsea foundation after implementation of the contaminant isolation method by covering the contaminated materials using Zeolite and sands under subsea condition. The appropriate contaminant adsorption materials used in this study was selected as Zeolite based on the existing research results due to its efficiency. Safety (or stability) was evaluated by calculation and to analyze deformation after completing the contaminant isolation method. The minimum safety factors from slope stability analyses results were 30.1 and 11.2 depending on subsea submerged conditions and the amount of the maximum primary consolidation settlement from consolidation analysis results was 209.2 mm. In addition, change of consolidation amount with increasing consolidation time was evaluated based on consolidation degree.

본 연구에서는 해저에 퇴적된 오염 침전물질을 제올라이트와 모래로 피복하여 중금속 및 오염물질을 격리하는 피복 공법을 적용한 지역의 해저지반의 역학적 안정성 및 변형 예측을 하였다. 문헌조사와 현장조사를 바탕으로 분석해 본 결과, 이 현장에 맞는 피복재는 중금속 흡착효과가 뛰어난 제올라이트가 적합한 것으로 결정되었다. 정밀지반조사 결과를 바탕으로 오염 침전물질을 제올라이트와 모래로 피복한 후 주변 지반에 대한 안정성 평가와 압밀로 인한 장기지반거동을 예측하였다. 역학적 안정해석 결과, 지면이 해수에 포화되는지 여부에 따라 최저 안전율은 약 11.2와 30.1로 계산되어 충분히 안전한 것으로 판단되었다. 압밀량 해석을 진행한 결과 상단면 기준으로 1차 최대압밀량이 209.2mm 정도 발생하고 2차 압밀량은 1.2mm로 아주 적게 예측되었다. 시간에 따른 압밀도를 계산하여 시간에 따른 1차압밀량도 예측하였다.
