Abstract

A database program is constructed by collecting all information related to shallow foundations such as measured load-settlement data, foundation shapes and sizes, properties of soils under the foundation and various measured data obtained from field investigation methods including CPT, PMT and SPT etc.. Based on the database program, a special program module is developed for performing statistical analyses of reliability and accuracy of predicting equations used for calculation of settlement of the shallow foundations. Special interests are focused not only on the settlement, but also on the settlement to width ratio (s/B). Results of the reliability and accuracy analyses on five available settlement equations are provided. Conclusions based on the provided results can be confirmed by extending number of related reliable data about the shallow foundations and can be adapted as guidelines for design of the shallow foundations.

현재 사용되고 있는 여러 가지 얕은기초 침하량 예측식에 대한 신뢰성 평가를 위해 얕은기초에 대한 각종 재하시험 데이터, 기초의 형상과 위치 및 지반 원위치시험 관련사항을 조사하여 데이터베이스(D/B)로 구축하였으며 이를 바탕으로 통계분석을 실시할 수 있는 해석프로그램을 제작하여 기존 침하량 산정 공식의 정확도(accuracy)와 신뢰수준(reliability), 특히, 기존 침하량 공식의 침하비(s/B) 대비 안정성을 평가하여 기 사용 5개식에 대한 평가결과를 제시하였다. 현재수준의 분석결과는 D/B의 양과 질에 좌우되므로 양질의 데이터를 추가로 확보하고 5가지 이외의 방법까지 분석하면 신뢰성과 정확성을 파악하면서 설계에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
