긴 파이프 라인 굴착 시설에 대한 광범위한 현장 평가는 예상과 달리 프레임 채널에서 생성된 진흙 흐름의 두께 변동이 평활하지 않아 펌프의 효율성에 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 본 연구는 액체 저항을 줄이고 토양의 두께를 줄이는데 사용되는 전자기장(EMF)에 의하여 구조화된 프레임워크를 평가하는 데 중점을 두었다. 또한, 펌프의 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 빠른 점검이 가능한 프레임워크가 도입하였다. 300m의 절대 채널 길이와 11Kw의 펌프 강도를 사용하여 프레임 워크를 평가하기 위한 탐색적 연구를 수행하였다. 마찬가지로, 카올리나이트와 미분탄은 굴착된 진흙 흐름을 재현하기 위하여 사용하였다. EMF가 굴착토의 유속을 증대시키고 펌프의 효율성을 94.8%까지 구축함을 보인다.

Coal Ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants, is usually disposed in surface impoundments or wet disposal areas and landfill sites. Toxic substances contained in coal ash which slowly seep into the groundwater and aquifers in nearby impoundments, and which are also dispersed by wind and storm water in landfill sites, lead to serious health and environmental effects. The main focus of this study is to analyze the strength characteristics of the recycled coal ash mixed with dredged soil to test its capabilities from external forces such as in the stacking of geotextile tubes. The SEM and XRF analysis were carried out in order to grasp the grain size and composition of the coal ash and the dredged soil. To find the optimum mixing ratio of the coal ash and dredge soil, the type of deformation and the strength of the different mixtures were obtained by performing a uniaxial compression test. The relationship between the compressive stress and deformation of the uniaxial compression test and the tubular structure formed by injecting the coal ash into geotextile tube was confirmed and the applicability of the geotextile tube reinforced with the recycled and improved fill material is very high.

The acrylic tube, referred to as geocell in this paper, is 2.19m long with an inner diameter of 280mm. Both ends of the acrylic tube were covered with permeable geotextile sheets to allow water dissipation. The dredged soil fill material is hydraulically filled into the acrylic tube in the form of soil-water mixture (slurry). Load cells oriented in the vertical and horizontal directions were installed inside the geocell to measure the horizontal and vertical pressures inside the cylindrical tube. The pressure readings are collected through a data logger and interpreted by a desktop computer. The pressure distribution inside the geocell based on the load cell readings are closely related to the theoretical Ko and Ka conditions.

본 연구는 고상폐기물인 준설토와 혼합물질인 점토 및 유리프리트를 이용하여 기능성을 갖는 건축자재용으로의 재활용 가능성을 검토하고자 실시되었다. D항만 준설토의 중금속 함량은 Zn이 526.0~13,150.1 mg/kg의 범위를 나타내는 등 심한 오염상태이었다. 준설토(30P)의 주요 화학조성은 SiO₂(48.30 wt%), Al₂O₃(16.60 wt%), CaO(10.10 wt%), Fe₂O₃(7.75 wt%)이었으며, 점토는 SiO₂가 70.82 wt%, Al₂O₃ 18.78 wt%, 유리프리트는 SiO₂가 71.75 wt%, CaO 13.99 wt%, Na₂O 8.51 wt% 함유되어 있었다. 준설토를 점토에 10~40 wt% 첨가한 후 1,000℃와 1,100℃에서 소성한 시편의 압축 강도는 각각 132.6~178.5 kgf/cm2와 581.2~793.7 kgf/cm²이었다. 준설토가 40 wt% 첨가된 경우 (SC46) 1,100℃에서 소성한 경우가 793.7 kgf/cm²로 1,000℃에서 소성한 경우의 153.0 kgf/cm² 보다 5배 이상 높게 나타나 1,100℃ 온도가 소성에 더 적합한 것으로 판단되었으며, KS 1종벽돌 기준을 만족시켰다. 또한, 시편의 용출시험 결과 폐기물관리법상 지정폐기물 판정기준치를 크게 하회하는 것으로 나타났다.

More than 45 million tons of marine clay is dredged in the western and southern sea every year in Korea. Dredged soils, which are relatively easily supplied, have been known as an economical fill material for the construction of airports, ports, and industrial land. However, dredged soils can no longer be used as a construction material because they contain various types of heavy metals and organic pollutants. If an electric field is applied to dredged sediments, various phenomena such as electrophoresis, electro-osmosis, electro-migration, electrolysis occur because the surface of marine clay is negatively charged. The interpretation of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation is very important because this behavior is closely related to the stabilization of dredged sediments and the landfilling period. The analytical solution for the calculation of excess pore-water pressure is obtained by determining the initial and boundary conditions. Then, the surface settlement and density profiles are predicted by using this analytical solution. The analytical solution from Esrig’s one-dimensional electrokinetic consolidation theory and this study’s numerical simulation with mass conservation more easily predicted the electrically induced consolidation behavior of dredged sediments than the non-linear finite strain consolidation theory.

More than 50 million tons of dredged soils are produced every year in Korea. Approximately 10% of these dredged soils are dumped into the ocean because of contamination, while 80% are reclaimed to create artificial wetlands, artificial beaches, and ecological parks. The interpretation of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation behavior is very important because this behavior is closely related to the stabilization of dredged soils and the landfilling period. The analytical solution for the calculation of excess pore-water pressure is obtained by determining the initial and boundary conditions. Then, the surface settlement and density profiles are predicted by using this analytical solution. The analytical solution from Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory and this study’s numerical simulation with mass conservation more easily predicted the self-weight consolidation behavior of dredged soft soils than the non-linear finite strain consolidation theory.

항만 및 공장용지 확보를 위한 해안 매립 시 해저 펌프준설 등의 방법을 이용하여 준설토를 활용하고 있으며, 육상의 경우에도 조립준설토를 성토재로 활용하려는 노력이 진행되고 있다. 서해안 지역의 해저바닥에 분포하는 원지반은 실트질 모래 또는 모래질 실트가 남해안과 동해안에 비해서 많이 분포하고 있고, 다른 연안에 비해 입자 또한 크다. 이러한 특성을 지닌 준설토는 침강과 압밀의 과정도 준설점토와 다른 거동 특성을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 서해안 지역의 비소성준설토를 매립재료로 활용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 서해안(새만금)지역의 준설매립지반에 대해 모형실험을 실시하여 동다짐 에너지 변화에 따른 원지반의 상대밀도 및 N값의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 예측식을 제안하고, 효율적인 지반설계를 위한 동다짐 에너지를 산정하였다.
