Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the settlement characteristics of rockfill embankments mixed with soil by confirming the physical properties of soil materials mixed with silty materials and analyzing the compression characteristics of gravel materials according to the mixing ratio of soil materials. For this, we mixed silty materials into sandy soil to analyze the compression characteristics of soil materials, and we constructed a foundation by mixing various ratios of soil into rockfill materials with a particle distribution similar to that of river gravel, and conducted a one-dimensional compression experiment using a medium-sized chamber. As a result of the experiment, in the case of mixed soil materials, the Transition Fine Content (TFC) appeared in the range of 21~26% depending on the load condition, and in the case of rockfill materials mixed with soil, as the void filling ratio of soil in gravel samples increases, both total compression and creep compression decreases, but after a 50% mixing ratio, the settlement of amount increases again.

본 연구에서는 토사가 혼합된 암성토 제방의 침하 특성을 분석하기 위하여 실트질 재료 혼합에 따른 토사재료의 물리적 특성을 확인하고, 토사재료 혼합 비율에 따른 자갈재료의 압축특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 사질토에 실트질 재료를 혼합하여 토사재료의 압축특성을 분석하였으며, 도상자갈과 유사한 입도분포를 갖는 암성토 재료에 다양한 비율의 토사를 혼합하여 지반을 조성하고 중형챔버를 이용한 일차원 압축실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 혼합토사 재료의 경우 Transition Fine Content(TFC)는 하중 조건에 따라서 21~26% 범위로 나타났으며, 토사가 혼합된 암성토 재료의 경우, 자갈 시료 내 토사의 공극 채움비율이 증가함에 따라 총압축량과 크리프 압축이 모두 감소하다가 50% 혼합비 이후에는 다시 침하량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
