Evaluation of Suitability of Caliche as Backfill of MSE Wall Considering Its Compaction and Strength Characteristics
Joon-Shik Moon, Buhm-Soo Chang
Abstract
This paper presents laboratory test results analyzing the compaction and strength characteristics of Caliche (also known as calcrete or gatch) which is commonly used for road construction in arid or semi-arid region including Middle East area. Caliche material is easily ripped and crushed with excavating equipments at the borrow pit conforming the grain-size distribution specification, but the particles can be additionally broken down to finer particles due to slaking and compaction, and consequently bearing capacity would be dropped. The compaction and strength characteristics were investigated by performing grain-size analysis, compaction tests, and CBR tests. The compacted samples were soaked for as long as 400 days and tested in the lab in order to investigate the long-term behavior of Caliche material.
Key Words: Mechanically stabilized earth wall; Caliche; Compaction characteristics; Strength characteristics; slaking
요지
본 연구에서는 중동지역을 포함한 건조지역 내 도로시공 시 많이 사용되는 Caliche (또는 calcrete, gatch)의 다짐 및 강도특성을 실험을 통해 분석하였다. Caliche는 강도가 높지않아 토취장에서 비교적 쉽게 리핑 분쇄되어 현장에 조달되지만, 현장 다짐과 슬레이킹(slaking)에 의해 입자의 추가파쇄가 발생하여 지지력이 크게 감소할 수 있다. 이러한 현상을 분석하기위해 토취장에서 직접 채취한 Caliche 시료를 이용하여 입도분석, 다짐시험, 강도실험 등의 실내 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 다짐시료를 최대 400일 동안 침수시켜 실내시험을 실시하여 Caliche의 장기 거동특성을 파악하였다.
핵심용어: 보강토 옹벽; 다짐특성; 강도특성; 슬레이킹
