Abstract

Recently, as the size of transportation vessels has increased, there is a growing need for securing the front-water depths of existing port facilities. The method of deepening front-water depth is securing the depth of the port facility, and it is reinforced by grouting after excavating the rubble-mound to the required depth. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reinforcing performance and filling performance of thixotropic grout as a grouting material for reinforcing rubble-mound. Compressive strength tests were carried out for two types of thixotropic grout, and 5 specimens with a diameter of 400 mm and a height of 530 mm were manufactured and evaluated for filling performance. The required strength of reinforced rubble-mound required to ensure the safety of the structure is 6 MPa. All the thixotropic grouts used in this study were found to satisfy the required strength over 9 MPa at 7 days of age. As a result of visual observation of filling state of the filling performance test specimens, it was confirmed that the thixotropic grout was well filled up to the desired fillet height.

최근 수송선박의 대형화에 따라 기존 항만 시설의 접안 깊이 확보에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 증심공법은 기존 항만시설의 접안 깊이를 확보하는 방법으로, 필요 깊이만큼 사석마운드를 굴착한 후 그라우팅을 통해 보강한다. 이 연구에서는 사석마운드 보강을 위한 그라우팅 재료로 가소성 그라우트를 사용할 경우 보강성능과 충진성능에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 2가지 가소성 그라우트 배합에 대해 압축강도실험을 수행하여 지반보강효과를 검토하였고, 직경 400 mm, 높이 530 mm 크기의 실린더형 실험체 5개를 제작해 충진성능을 평가하였다. 구조물의 안전성 확보를 위해 요구되는 개량체의 소요강도는 6 MPa이며, 이 연구에서 사용한 가소성 그라우트 배합 모두 재령 7일에 9 MPa 이상으로 소요강도를 만족하는 것으로 확인되었다. 충진성능 평가 실험체의 충진상태를 육안으로 관찰한 결과, 이 연구에서 목표로 설정한 사석 채 움 높이까지 가소성 그라우트가 잘 채워지는 것을 확인하였다.
