Liquefaction Characteristic of Pohang Sand Based on Cyclic Triaxial Test

본 연구에서는 포항 액상화 현상 발생 현장에서 채취한 모래를 사용하여 진동삼축시험 및 전단파 속도 측정을 수행하였으며, 시험결과를 기반으로 액상화 저항곡선을 도출하여 액상화 저항강도(CRR)를 산정하였다. 전단파 속도는 지진 발생 전 현장상태를 모사하고자 압밀 단계 종료 시점에서 측정한 값을 활용하였다. 시험을 통해 액상화 저항강도에 대한 두 가지 인자(입도분포, 상대밀도)의 영향을 확인하였으며 기존 문헌에서 제시된 타 사질토의 액상화 저항강도와의 비교를 통해 포항 모래의 액상화 저항강도를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 또한, 측정한 전단파 속도를 활용하여 실제 현장에서 사용되는 액상화 평가 곡선과의 비교를 통해 시험 결과의 신뢰성을 확인하였다. In this study, series of cyclic triaxial tests and shear velocity measurement were conducted using Pohang sand, which was taken from liquefaction observed area, to verify the liquefaction characteristics of Pohang. The cyclic resistance ratio(CRR) was derived based on the test results. A specimen was reconstituted into 40% and 80% relative density conditions and then a series of cyclic triaxial tests and shear-wave velocity measurement were conducted. As a result, the effect of particle distribution and relative density to liquefaction resistance was verified. The liquefaction resistance of Pohang sand was evaluated by comparing with other liquefaction resistance of sands from previous research. In addition, the liquefaction resistance curve from field observation data was used to verify the reliability of results from this study by measured shear-wave velocity.
