PURPOSES : For compaction control on the subgrade layer, the simple and economical test DCPT (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test) is being applied to the Korea Pavement Design Guide. However, compaction control is now difficult and to conduct in the field and is not performed in practice because the compaction degree is evaluated via the field density test as a pretreatment step when the compaction management process is evaluated by DCPT at the same time. Therefore, this study tried to propose a method considering an evaluation for the compaction degree using DCPT, via laboratory tests and field tests. METHODS: The in-situ DCPT tests were conducted according to the types of subgrade soils in the field. Afterward, the field density tests for the compaction degree (R) of field samples and the experiments using DCPT were performed simultaneously in a self-made test container in the lab. RESULTS: Through the DCPT test, compaction degree evaluation from the correlations proposed in this study was determined to be possible. Additional field tests could verify the proposed correlations between compaction degree with DCPT PR on the subgrade. CONCLUSIONS: For the evaluation of the subgrade compaction degree using dynamic CPT, the correlations between compaction degree and DCPT PR on the subgrade layer are proposed from laboratory tests and field tests using DCPT and field density tests.

PURPOSES : To solve problems in current compaction control DCPT(Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test), highly correlated with various testing methods, simple, and economic is being applied. However, it、s hard to utilize DCPT results due to the few numerical analyses for DCPT have been performed and the lack of data accumulation. Therefore, this study tried to verify the validation of numerical modeling for DCPT by comparing and analyzing the results of numerical analyses with field tests. METHODS: The ground elastic modulus and PR(Penetration Rate) value were estimated by using PFC(Particle Flow Code) 3D program based on the discrete element method. Those values were compared and analyzed with the result of field tests. Also, back analysis was conducted to describe ground elastic modulus of field tests. RESULTS : Relative errors of PR value between the numerical analyses and field tests were calculated to be comparatively low. Also, the relationship between elastic modulus and PR value turned out to be similar. CONCLUSIONS : Numerical modeling of DCPT is considered to be suitable for describing field tests by carrying out numerical analysis using PFC 3D program.

포장하부구조의 지지력을 평가하기 위해 많이 사용되는 방법은 평판재하시험(Plate Bearing Test) 현장 CBR시험(California Bearing Ratio Test) 등이 있으나, 시험을 수행하는데 있어 많은 인력과 시간이 소비되는 단점이 있어, 많은 연구자들은 현장에서 포장하부구조의 강성을 측정할 수 있는 간편한 방법으로 동적 콘 관입시험(Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test)을 제안하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 DCP의 현장적용성을 평가하기 위해, 총 4개 현장의 노상층과 보조기층에서 DCP, 평판재하시험, 현장CBR시험, FWD시험을 동시에 수행하여 그 결과를 상호 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 DCPI, MFWD, PBT_ K30은 서로 일정한 상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으나, CBR은 다른 결과 값들과 비교한 결과 상관관계가 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이 결과로부터 DCPI-MFWD, DCPI-PBT_ K30 관계식을 다음과 같이 제안하였다.
