Abstract

Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute(KORDI) conducted an offshore geotechnical investigation for the Eardo Ocean Research Station with the help of the Fugro International Limited at a site location approximately 152 km away from Mara Island, Korea. The primary purpose of the geotechnical investigation was to obtain information on soil and foundation conditions, and to develop foundation design data for a fixed offshore observation platform. This paper discussed the details of the geotechnical investigation and the foundation design recommendations for the Ocean Research Station. Clear recommendations were proposed for the foundation type of driven pile considering the existing soil conditions.

한국해양연구소(KORDI)는 후구로(Fugro Int.)사의 도움으로 마라도에서 약 152km 떨어진 지점에 건설 예정인 이어도 해양관측기지 건설을 위해서 해저지반의 특성조사를 수행하였다. 지반조사의 근본 목적은 해양과학기지가 설치될 이어도의 해저지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하고 조사자료를 이용하여 고정식 해양구조물의 기초설계를 하기 위한 것이었다. 본 논문에서는 해저지반조사의 상세한 설명과 고정식 해양구조물의 기초설계에 필요한 설계상수를 산정하는 방법에 대해서 토론하고자 한다. 연구결과로는 해저 현장토질의 특성을 고려한 해양말뚝의 기초설계에 필요한 지반설계 상수를 제안하였다.
