Abstract

In this study, laboratory test, in-situ vane shear test and piezocone penetration test in the study area were conducted to investigate the engineering characteristics of soft soils at Cheongra District, Songdo District in Incheon City, the west coast of Gyeonggi province, and Sihwa District in Ansan city. The correlations among compression index, and in-situ vane shear test, and cone resistance were obtained. The variations of liquid limit, plasticity index, water content and compression index with respect to depth exhibit strong similarity. This means that they have strong correlations, which can be used to evaluate the local characteristics of the study area. Thus, the correlations between compression index and physical properties were analysed to investigate the engineering characteristics of soft soil in the study area. The relationships between the measured piezocone factor by empirical methods, and undrained shear strength obtained by triaxial compression test or in-situ vane shear test were compared. It shows the significant correlation and piezocone factors, $N_{kT}$are suggested for the study area.

경기 서해안 지역인 인천 청라지구 및 송도지구, 경기 안산 시화지구 연약지반의 공학적 특성을 파악하고 각 지역에서 수행된 실내시험, 현장베인전단시험과 피에조콘 관입시험 결과를 분석하여 압축지수의 상관식, 피에조콘계수 산정 등의 결과를 도출하였다. 액성한계, 소성지수, 함수비, 간극비, 압축지수는 지반심도에 따라 분포경향이 유사하게 나타나므로 이러한 인자들은 상호 관련이 있으며 지역적 특성을 평가할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구 지역에서 실시된 실내시험으로부터 각 지역 연약점토의 공학적 특성을 규명하고자 물리적 특성과 압축지수의 상관성을 분석하여 각각 상관관계식을 제안하였다. 그리고 현장베인전단시험과 삼축 압축시험에 의한 비배수전단강도를 기준강도로 하여 경험적 방법에 의해 산정한 피에조콘계수를 비교한 결과 모든 지역에서 상관관계가 높은 피에조콘계수인 $N_{kT}$를 연구지역의 콘계수를 제안하였다.
