Abstract

본 연구에서는 매립심도가 손상 하수관으로 인해 형성되는 지하 공동 및 지반함몰에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 서로 다른 심도로 지반을 조성하여 모형시험을 수행하였다. 모형시험 중에 일정 시간 간격으로 디지털 이미지를 촬영하였으며, PIV 기법을 적용하여 내부 변위 및 변형을 측정하였다. 이와 지표면에서 발생하는 지반 침하, 지하 공동의 크기 등에 대한 분석도 함께 진행하여 거동을 분석하였다. 시험 결과, 매립심도가 낮은 경우의 지반에서 매립심도가 높은 경우에 비해 지하 공동 및 지반함몰 형성에 대한 저항성이 작은 것으로 확인되었다.

In order to analyze the effect of burial depth on the generation of ground cavities and cave-ins, a series of model experiments with different height of model ground were performed. Digital images of the model ground were captured to evaluate the internal deformation of the model grounds by adopting the PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique. Additionally, the vertical displacement at the surface, the size of the cavity, and the weight of the discharged soil were measured in each test. The results indicate that the model ground with low burial depth, which does not satisfy the criterion, was more vulnerable to ground cavities and cave-ins than the model ground with high burial depth.
