Abstract

In this study, the shear wave velocity of the ground was measured using Flat TDR, and the precision analysis of the measured value and the verification of field applicability were performed. The shear wave velocity measurement value was derived in the field using the piezo-stack combined in the Flat TDR. analyzed. As a result of the experiment, the average value of the change in shear wave speed at the time of grout material injection was 10.15 m/s at the beginning of age, and the average value of the change in shear wave speed after the 7th to 14th days was 65.99 m/s, showing a tendency to increase with age. Also, it was found that dry density and shear wave speed increased as the water content increased on the dry side, and that the dry density and shear wave rate decreased as the water content increased on the wet side as the water content increased. The shear modulus value derived from the field test was confirmed to be a minimum of 17.36 MPa and a maximum of 28.13 MPa, confirming a measurement value similar to the reference value. Through this, it can be seen that the measured value of the shear modulus using Flat TDR is reliable data, and it can be determined that the compaction management of the site can be effectively managed in the future.

본 연구에서는 Flat TDR을 이용하여 지반의 전단파속도를 측정하였고 측정값의 정밀도 분석 및 현장적용성에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. Flat TDR 내 결합되어 있는 Piezo-stack을 이용하여 현장에서의 전단파속도 측정값을 도출하였고, 도출한 값의 검증을 위해서 들밀도시험, 동적콘관입시험(DCPT), 문헌조사 등을 적용하여 비교 ‧ 분석하였다. 실험결과 그라우트재 주입시 재령 초기 전단파속도 변화의 평균값은 10.15 m/s이며, 7~14일차 이후의 전단파속도 변화의 평균값은 65.99 m/s로 재령일 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 OMC를 기준으로 건조 측에서는 함수비가 증가할수록 건조밀도와 전단파속도가 증가하고, 습윤 측에서는 함수비가 증가할수록 건조밀도와 전단파속도가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 현장시험 결과 도출된 전단탄성계수 값이 최소 17.36 MPa에서 최대 28.13 MPa로 확인되어 참고문헌 값과 유사한 측정값을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 Flat TDR을 이용한 전단탄성계수의 측정값이 신뢰성이 있는 데이터임을 알 수 있고, 추후 현장 지반의 다짐관리를 효과적으로 할 수 있음을 판단할 수 있다.
