초록

야외에서 관찰되는 화강암 기원의 사질 토양시료들에 대한 광물학적 관찰과 입도 분석이 실시되었으며 변수두법에 의해 그들 토양시료들의 투수계수를 측정하였다. 측정된 수리 전도도 값과 토양시료들이 가지는 입도분포 특성과의 관계에 대한 상호 연관성을 정의하였다. 화강암으로부터 풍화된 토양의 입도분포에 의하면 토양은 sand와 loamy sand에 해당되며 변수두 실내 투수시험에 의해 측정된 투수계수는 $1.15X10^{-5}\sim7.31X10^{-4}cm/sec$의 범위로 이는 sand와 silt의 영역에 해당된다. 시험에 사용된 사질토양의 투수계수는 토양의 평균입도 보다는 입도분산과 더 강한 상관관계를 가지고 있음이 뚜렷하게 관찰되며 입도분산도가 증가할수록 투수계수가 감소하는 경향이 뚜렷하다. 연구결과 평균입도가 $0.38\sim1.97mm$인 화강암 기원의 사질토양은 투수계수와 입도분산의 상호관계에 있어서 $y=6.0E-5x^{-1.4}$의 추세선과 잘 일치하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 이는 실제로 야외에서 관찰되는 토양시료의 입도분산에 대한고려 없이 평균입도만을 이용한 투수계수 예측은 큰 오류를 범 할 수 있음을 지시해 주는 것이다.

Sandy soils obtained from the field were examined by the way of particle analyses. The hydraulic conductivity values of the disturbed soil samples were measured by the falling head method. Then the correlations between the hydraulic conductivity and particle distribution were defined. The soil which was a product of the weathering of the granitic rocks belonged to sand and loamy sand area in a sand-silt-clay triangular diagram. The measurements of hydraulic conductivity were $1.15X10^{-5}\sim7.31X10^{-4}cm/sec$ which is the range of sand and silt. It was clearly observed that the hydraulic conductivity measurements of the sandy soils showed stronger correlations with the particle variances rather than the mean grain sizes. The larger the variances, the smaller the hydraulic conductivity measurements. The sandy soil which was a product of weathered granite and whose mean grain size was $0.38\sim1.97mm$ showed regression curves of $y=6.0E-5x^{-1.4}$ in a correlations between hydraulic conductivity and particle variances. Accordingly, it is clearly concluded that making estimates with-out any consideration about particle variances can produce serious errors.
