Abstract

In order to meet the new requirements for landfill materials, this study planned a study to apply mixed soil of mixing bottom ash and coastal dredged soil to the dredged ground. Coal ash generated from thermal power plant is divided into fly ash and bottom ash. In the case of fly ash, many studies have been conducted because small particles causes permeability coefficient to be small during recycling so no problem has been raised in the environmental area but the utilization of bottom ash has been limited because environmental problems have been raised during recycling due to its larger particle size and greater permeability coefficient. According to recently published studies, however, the results of the study that conducted the water analysis of leachate generated in the ground improvement section using bottom ash showed that heavy metal contamination levels were found to be within the reference value and no significant environmental problems were found so utilization of bottom ash is evaluated to increase significantly in the future. This bottom ash has the particle size of sand and only transportation costs need to be considered when providing materials because the majority has been disposed and it is judged as the most suitable material in dredging landfill in the economic aspect because most thermal power plants are located in the coast and transportation costs can be reduced by ship. Also, research on mixed soil that can maximize the effect of the construction period and construction cost savings than dredged soil is determined as needed because the demand for coastal dredging reclamation is increasing such as Saemangeum project etc. Therefore, we studied self-weight consolidation characteristics depending on sample processing and mixing method of mixed soil by carrying out interior self-weight consolidation experiments on mixed soil of mixing bottom ash and Kaolinite according to the new development needs of recent coastal reclaimed ground and these result findings are expected to be used as basic data when applying the large coastal dredged ground in the future.

본 연구에서는 매립재료에 대한 새로운 요구를 만족하기 위해 석탄회(bottom ash)와 해안준설토를 혼합한 혼합토를 준설매립지반에 적용하기 위한 연구를 계획하였다. 화력발전소에서 발생되는 석탄회는 크게 비회와 저회로 구분된다. 비회의 경우 입자가 작아 재활용 시 투수계수가 작기 때문에 환경적인 부분에서 문제가 제기되지 않아 연구가 많이 진행되었으나 저회의 경우 입도가 크고 투수계수가 커 재활용 시 환경적인 문제가 제기되어 그동안은 활용이 제한되었다. 하지만 최근에 발표된 연구결과에 따르면 bottom ash를 활용한 지반개량구간에서 추출한 침출수의 수질분석 실험을 실시한 연구결과 중금속 오염수치가 기준치 이내로 나타나 환경적인 문제는 크게 없는 것으로 나타나 향후 bottom ash의 활용이 크게 늘어날 것으로 평가된다. 이러한 bottom ash는 모래의 입도를 가지고 있으며, 그동안은 대부분이 폐기되기 때문에 재료 수급 시 운반비만 고려하면 되며, 대부분의 화력발전소가 해안에 위치하고 있어 배를 이용하여 운반하면 운반비를 줄일 수 있어 경제적인 측면에서도 준설매립에 가장 적당한 재료로 판단된다. 또한 새만금사업 등 해안준설 매립에 대한 수요가 크기 때문에 준설토보다 시공기간과 공사비 절감의 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 혼합토의 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 해안매립지반의 새로운 개발 요구에 따라 bottom ash와 카올리나이트를 혼합한 혼합토에 대한 실내 자중압밀실험을 실시, 혼합토의 시료처리과정과 혼합방법에 따른 자중압밀특성에 대해 연구하였으며, 이 연구결과는 향후 대규모 해안 준설매립지반의 적용 시 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
