Abstract

본 연구에서는 도로노면 하부 지반에서 발생한 공동의 확장특성을 평가하기 위하여, 지하수주입 실험을 수행하였다. 즉, 공동체적에 비례한 일정량의 물을 단계별로 주입하고, 주입한 물이 배출됨에 따라 확대되는 공동을 모니터링 함으로써, 공동의 체적변화를 확인하였다. 실험결과, 지하수 주입에 따른 공동의 체적은 증가하다 수렴 또는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이는 지하수 주입 시, 공동이 확장되는 과정에서 주변의 이완된 지반이 일부 붕괴되거나 세립토가 주변 지반의 간극을 채우기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 지하수 주입 단계에 따른 공동의 체적변화와 확장특성을 분석한 결과, 실험대상 공동은 횡방향으로 확장되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 지하수 유동에 따라 이완된 공동 주변지반이 붕괴되고, 붕괴된 토사가 공동 하부의 지중으로 유실되는 과정이 반복됨으로써 공동이 확장되는 것으로 평가되었다.

This study described a results of groundwater injection test in cavity, in order to evaluate characteristics of cavity expansion under pavement. That is, groundwater amount proportional to the cavity volume was injected into the generated cavity step by step, and then the cavity with the changed size was monitored as the injected groundwater was drained. The test result showed that the cavity volume by groundwater injection increased, and then it converged or decreased. This means that some of the relaxation soil around the cavity collapsed, and the fine-grained soils in some soils filled the void in the surrounding soils when the cavity is expanded by groundwater injection. The volume change and expansion characteristics of the cavity according to the groundwater injection step were analyzed. The result showed that the cavity extended laterally. Therefore, it was found that the cavity expansion is caused by the repetition of the relaxation soil collapse due to the groundwater flow and the loss of the collapsed soil below the cavity.
