낙동강 하구 제4기 홀로세 퇴적층에 대한 연구의 하나로 김해평야에 분포하는 점토퇴적층 (부산점토)을 대상으로 지구물리탐사를 실시하였다. 연구는 제한적인 몇 개의 지역에 대해 예비연구로 시행되었다. 그 결과 수직탐사에 의한 누적 전기비저항이 지층의 특성을 가장 잘 반영해 주었다. 점토층은 2.0~3.0$\Omega$ㆍm 이하의 전기비저항을 가지며 낙동강에 인접할수록 비저항의 크기는 다소 증가하였다. 이러한 방법은 상대적인 지층의 대비에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이며 객관성을 가지기 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

부산점토에 대하여 Wheeler의 경화모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 양산지역의 부산점토에 대한 삼축 및 압밀시험 결과가 이용되있으며, 그 모형에 적합한 매개정수들이 결정되있다. 적용결과 예측된 거동은 실험결과와 정량적으로 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났으나, 향후 압밀 및 장기거동 해석등을 위하여 더 많은 연구가 요구된다.

Marine clays are widely distributed in Korean eastern, western and southern coastal areas. Understanding engineering characteristics of the soft ground is very important, whenever civil structures are constructed in those coastal areas. It is because the ground is composed of highly compressible marine clay. In this paper, the physical and compression characteristics of Incheon, Mokpo, Gwangyang and Busan marine clay were analyzed and the characteristics between western and southern coastal marine clays were compared. For this, test results of 1,471 samples from 114 sites were used. As a result, Incheon clay showed the lowest plasticity and the highest unit weight due to influx of silt from the Yellow River and the turn of the tide of Incheon area. However, Gwangyang clay showed highly compressible characteristic due to extensive reclamation. On the other hand, Mokpo and Busan clay showed partially similar levels of characteristics. The compression index of Mokpo and Busan clay was high more than twice in comparison with Incheon clay and that of Gwangyang clay was higher than seventy percents in comparison with Mokpo and Busan clay.

The compression index, which represents the compressibility of clay, is generally obtained from the consolidation test, or has been predicted by empirical correlations with soil properties. In this study, the results of consolidation tests on natural and reconstituted Busan and Inchon clays are analyzed to figure out the sedimentation state and its effect on empirical correlations. Results of analysis show that the void index of Busan clay is higher than SCL while the void index of Inchon clay is lower than SCL. By comparing prediction errors with ${\Delta}e_r$, which represents the sedimentation state of clay, it is shown that errors predicting the compressibility based on the liquid limit and plasticity index decrease as ${\Delta}e_r$ increases. Supplemented correlations predicting the compression index of Busan and Inchon clays are suggested using these relationships.

1990년 이래 낙동강 하구 서쪽지역인 서부산과 인근 지역에서는 대단위 지반조성공사가 수행되었다. 이 지역에서는 부산점토라고 명명된 점성토가 20-70m의 두께로 상당히 두텁게 형성되어있다. 최근에 들어 정교한 지반조사가 수행됨에 따라 이 지역의 점토에 대한 공학적 특성이 효과적으로 밝혀졌지만, 점토의 특성을 면밀히 규명하기 위해서는 여전히 많은 과제가 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 부산신항 지역에서 점토에 대하여 다양한 방법으로 투수계수를 구하여 투수특성을 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 수평 및 연직방향의 배수에 의한 일정변형률(CRS) 압밀실험, 표준압밀실험 및 압밀 중에 변수위 투수실험이 실내실험으로 이루어 졌으며, 현장실험으로 CPTU에 의한 소산실험 및 Casagrande형 피에조미터에 의한 소산실험이 실시되었다.이들 결과를 서로 비교하여 합리적인 실험결과를 분석하며, 이점토에 대한 깊이별 투수계수 및 투수 이방성을 규명하고자 하였다.

Pusan clay, which is distributed in the Nakdong River estuary, is unusually soft and thick compared with other clays in the world. Because the consolidation settlement of the clay was significantly underestimated in several recent reclamation projects, it has been emphasized particularly on the need of studying the permeability characteristics. This study carries out vertical and horizontal permeability tests on undisturbed and consolidated samples from two sites of the area. The results of the study show the peculiar permeability anisotropy and the relationships with other indexes on Pusan clay and also comparison with those of other world clays.

낙동강 삼각주의 분포하는 제4기 홀로세 퇴적층 중 북부와 중부, 그리고 남부지역에 해당하는 가덕도 (신항만 조성지역), 범방리 (경마장 조성지역), 양산 (신도시 조성지역)의 조간대 퇴적층에 대한 대자율 연구를 수행하였다. 퇴적층의 층위별 대자율은 입도와 관입저항에 비례하여 대자율도 증가한다. 가덕도의 70여m의 퇴적층 중 20m, 40m의 점토층에서 대자율 변화가 나타나는데 인접한 녹산지역의 연구견과와 비교하면 고환경이 변화되는 지점과 일치한다. 삼각주의 중부에 위치하는 범방리 점토시료는 기반암까지 층위별 대자율이 일정하며, 북부의 양산지역 점토시료는 하부로 갈수록 대자율이 증가하는데 이러한 결과는 시료의 입도 분포와 같은 양상이다. 가덕도 시료와는 달리 모든 점토층이 유사한 대자율을 보여주고 있어 퇴적 동안 환경의 변화는 인지되지 않는다. 이 지역의 시료가 가덕도에 비해 높은 고도에 위치하여 가덕도 시료의 상부 점토에 해당되는 것도 환경변화가 나타나지 않는 이유가 될 수 있다. 따라서 보다 광범위한 지역에 대한 연구가 요구 된다.

In the Nakdong River plain a very thick clayey soils are covered widely. Since the early 1990's, some huge reclamation projects have been performed for the development of industrial and residential complexes and so on. Despite a large number of soil investigations have been carried out for the projects, the geotechnical properties have never been elucidated well, so that the settlements of the ground due to the mischaracterized properties were greatly underestimated. Therefore, it has been needed to evaluate definitely the characteristics of the clayey soils, particularly for the compressibility characteristics to help understand the settlement behavior. For the compressibility characteristics of the Pusan clays, physical index and consolidation tests were conducted on the reconstituted and undisturbed samples. Using the result of physical index, the Pusan clays could be divided into two different units, which have different depositional environments. According to the concepts of Burland (1990) and Nagaraj et. al. (1990), the intrinsic state line and field compression curve of the Pusan clays could be established. It could be found from their concepts that the Pusan clays are under the cemented and young normally consolidated state and largely consisted of two units. The cementation of the clays was as well identified by compression index ratio (Tsuchida et. al.,1991) and sensitivity (Leroueil et. al.,1983).

Cone factors, $N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$ and $N_{{\Delta}u}$, for estimating undrained shear strength of Busan clay are evaluated in this study. For this, CPTu and field vane tests are performed for clay layers at two sites, Busan new-port and Noksan, and also $CK_0U$ triaxial tests with undisturbed samples taken from the same site are carried out. From experimental results, it is observed that the undrained shear strengths of clay increases with depth, and the undrained shear strength obtained from triaxial tests is 1.5 times higher than one obtained from vane tests. The normalized undrained shear strengths of Busan clay from triaxial and vane shear tests are $0.26{\sim}0.44$ and $0.20{\sim}0.23$, respectively. In CPTu results, cone tip resistance ($q_c$) and pore pressure ($u_2$) linearly increase with depth, and the pore pressure ratio ($B_q$) of Busan clay is within the range of $0.3{\sim}1.0$. The cone factors, which are determined by comparing the CPTu results with $CK_0U$ triaxial and vane shear test results, are found to be $5{\sim}20$ and $10{\sim}35$, respectively. It is also observed that the cone factors are inversely proportional to the pore pressure ratio. From this, the prediction methods for evaluating the cone factors of Busan clay are developed.

In the Nakdong River estuary soft and thick clay, which called Pusan clay, are deposited. Despite a number of great reclaimed projects that have been performed in the area, the consolidation settlement and time have been significantly underestimated due dominantly to sample disturbance, since the last decade. In order to resolve the underestmation, it was necessary to examine the compressibility characteristics through a systematic geotechnical investigation on the clay. In this study an advanced sampling technique was adopted on two sites chosen along the coastline, and then oedometer testing and geological investigation were performed for the undisturbed and reconstituted samples. As the results, the compressibility parameters of the clay were representatively determined, as well as their correlation. Particularly the effects of depositional environment on the physical indexes, level of structure, sample disturbance and compressibility parameters were analyzed for the clay.
