Abstract

In the correlation formulas related to consolidation proposed at present, the analyzed areas are limited to certain overseas or domestic areas and in order to increase the number of data, experimental data of different areas are integrated and therefore in many cases application is difficult. In addition, models have been developed without clear statistic evaluation of the obtained data. Accordingly, this study divided the soft areas of the west coast into Hangang, Kumgang and Yeongsangang in order to maximally reduce uncertainty of the experimental data and performed normality test and regression analysis on the physical and dynamic characteristics. According to the analysis result, the compression index and the modified compression index had strong linearity and in all areas modified compression index and initial void ratio had closest correlation, followed by total unit weight, water contents and liquid limits. As for overconsolidation ratio with depth, the width of overconsolidation ratio was large when the depth was less than 5 to 6 m in all areas and when the depth was over 5 to 6 m, the ratio was constant.

현재 제안되고 있는 압밀과 관련된 상관식들은 분석대상 지역이 국외나 국내의 특정지역에 국한되거나 자료의 숫자를 늘리기 위해 여러 지역의 실험자료를 통합함으로써 적용에 무리가 따르는 경우가 많다. 또한 취득된 자료의 명확한 통계적 평가없이 모형이 개발되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시험자료의 불확실성을 최대한 줄이기 위해 서해안의 연약지대를 한강과 금강, 영산강으로 대분하고 물리적 특성치와 역학적 특성치에 대하여 정규성 검증과 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 압축지수와 수정압축지수의 직선성이 강하며, 모든 지역에서 수정압축지수와 초기간극비가 가장 상관성이 양호하고 다음으로 전체단위중량, 함수비, 액성한계 순으로 나타났다. 또한 깊이에 따른 과압밀비는 모든 지역에서 깊이가 5~6m 이하의 경우 과압밀비의 폭이 크게 나타나며, 5m~6m 이상일 경우 일정한 값을 가지는 패턴을 보였다.
