Abstract

Efforts to understand and develop reasonable analysis methods for the uncertainty of ground have been made since the 20th century, and the concept of safety factor has been used. However, this concept has limitation in measuring the relative reliability of ground structures because the representative values of the actually used factors have uncertainty. Nevertheless, there is no method to completely remove uncertainty. In most cases, the ground investigation results in Korea are not enough for applying such statistical methods. Furthermore, performing a design without accurate investigation of consolidation state even though consolidation characteristics such as settlement and consolidation velocity vary greatly by the consolidation history can lead to many problems. Therefore, in this paper, as part of the effort to reduce the uncertainty of design around over consolidation ratio among the consolidation factors, the consolidation state was assessed on the basis of the results of high-quality laboratory tests that were performed in Gwangyang and Busan in the southern coast of Korea. Furthermore, consolidation characteristics such as over consolidation ratio by depth were proposed for different regions through statistical processes such as the test of normality and the removal of abnormal values to reduce the uncertainty of design parameters.

20세기 이후 지반의 불확실성을 이해하고 합리적인 해석방법을 개발하기 위한 노력이 경주되어 안전율 개념이 사용되어 왔으나 이러한 개념은 실제 적용되고 있는 인자들이 불확실성을 지님에도 그 대표값을 사용하기 때문에 지반구조물의 상대적인 신뢰성을 측정하는데 한계가 있다. 그러나 현재까지도 불확실성을 완전히 제거할 수 있는 방법은 없으며, 그나마 국내에서 수행되고 있는 지반조사 결과는 이러한 통계적 기법을 적용하는 것조차도 불가능할 정도로 충분치 못한 경우가 대부분이다. 또한 침하량이나 압밀속도 등 압밀 특성이 압밀이력에 따라 크게 차이가 남에도 불구하고 압밀상태에 대한 정확한 규명없이 설계하는 것은 많은 문제점을 나타내게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 압밀인자 중 과압밀비를 중심으로 설계의 불확실성을 줄이기 위한 노력의 일환으로 남해안 중 광양과 부산지역에서 수행된 양질의 실내시험 결과를 바탕으로 압밀상태를 평가하고, 설계정수의 불확실성을 줄이기 위한 정규성 검증이나 이상치 제거 등의 통계처리를 통해 지역별로 깊이에 따른 과압밀비 등의 특성을 제안하였다.
