Abstract

Design techniques for the deep mixing method, one of the soft ground improvement methods, include two ways to interpret the ground as composite ground and pile ground. However, since comparative studies on these two approaches are insufficient, it is difficult to clearly define the analysis criteria in the design. In this study, two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses have been performed with different conditions. The three conditions, the embankment height, depth of soft ground, and replacement ratio of reinforcement zones were varied and the analysis was performed on the basis of the assumption of composite ground and pile ground for each condition. As a result, the minimum depth of improvement in the two-dimensional analysis was deeper by 6.85~9.08% than in the three-dimensional analysis. The pile ground analysis showed that the depth of improvement was deeper by 12.22~14.45% than the composite ground analysis. Based on these results, it is concluded that for more accurate design, three-dimensional analysis should be performed rather than two-dimensional analysis. also, it is judged that necessary to analyze the ground as composite ground for economical design, and as the pile ground analysis for stable design.

연약지반 개량 공법 중 심층혼합공법에 대한 설계 기법으로는 복합지반으로 해석하는 방법과 말뚝지반으로 해석하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 이러한 해석에 대한 비교 연구는 부족한 실정으로 설계 시 해석 기준을 명확하게 정의 내리는 것에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 및 3차원 해석을 통해 성토 높이와 연약지반의 심도, 보강구간의 치환율을 변화시키며 각 조건별로 복합지반과 말뚝지반을 가정하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 최저 개량 심도는 3차원 해석에 비해 2차원 해석 결과가 6.85~9.08% 더 깊은 결과를 도출하였다. 또한 말뚝지반 해석의 경우 복합지반 해석에 비해 개량 심도는 12.22~14.45% 더 깊은 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 보다 정확한 설계를 위해서는 2차원 해석보다는 3차원 해석을 실시해야 하고, 경제적인 설계를 위해서는 복합지반으로 해석해야 하며, 안정적인 설계를 위해서는 말뚝지반 해석을 실시해야 된다고 판단된다.
