We have measured resistivities for undisturbed soil samples collected from dredged bank with sea sand, and analyzed with one-dimensional inversion results from small-loop electromagnetic survey data. From the relationship between the two resistivities, it appeared that calculated resistivities were remarkably consistent with measured resistivities. Correlation relationships between resistivity values and cone resistance were analyzed after comparing inversion results with cone resistance. It turns out that the region with below 1 ohm-m is correspondent to that of with less than $50\;kgf/cm^2$ in dredged bank with sea sand. From the study result, resistivity monitoring of small-loop EM periodically is proved to be more effective to maintain the stability of embankment dike.

Applications of geostatistical method to cone penetrometer data have been performed at the overconsolidated clay site. Randomlylocated 28 electronic CPT soundings (Location A) and consistently-located 38 CPT soundings(Location B) are investigated geostatistically. Variograms for Locations A and B have been developed for q, from the CPT data by using "kriging" principles, which establish the horizontal and vertical correlation distrances at this site. These vertical and horizontal correlation distances can be used to optimal sampling design, where, if one needs to compare two test results, sampling must be made within these vertical and horizontal correlation distances. Analysis of the variograms indicated that the geological formation between two locations are not very different in both vertical direction and horizontal direction.direction.

Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently used in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test; generally used in the past In this study, standard penetration test, piezocone penetration test, driving resistance of vertical drain were used in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. And the compressible layer was determined by the comparison between the preconsolidation pressure and the designed increase pressure. As the results, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows $q_c$=(1.09~1.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value. And $q_c$(1.21~1.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. And driving resistance of vertical drain is 70 f/$cm^2$ which is equal to 10kgf/$cm^2$ cone penetration resistance.

A series of tests were conducted to examine the filled tube shape with respect to the filling module type used and to investigate cone resistance properties of a dredged-soil-filled geotextile tube under water and drained conditions. Results based on the filling observation showed that the distribution of the accumulated fills inside the acrylic cell and vinyl tubes differs with respect to the type of filling modules. A crater formation around the inlet area was found during the test using I-type filling module and a horizontal sediment distribution was found during the test using inverse T-Type filling module. The dredged fill material was obtained from the Saemangeum area. The geotextile tube deformation of each filling stage was almost converged when the tube was fully drained. The cone resistance of the dredged fill in the geotextile tube under drained condition is large and is approximately 2~6 times that of the tube under water condition.

In this study, the applicability of the lightweight dynamic cone penetrometer in the domestic slope site was investigated using the weathered granite soil sampled form the Namwon slope site. And then, the lightweight dynamic cone penetration tests according to the change in the degree of compaction and water content were performed and it was analyzed with the correlations between the degree of compaction, the void ratio, the degree of saturation and the value of cone resistance. From the laboratory test results, the cone penetration resistance was rapidly increased in the dry side of the optimum moisture content, and it was largely decreased in the wet side of the optimum moisture content. Moreover, when the degree of compaction and the degree of saturation are large, the cone resistance is increased linearly. And a high correlativity was shown between water content, void ratio, the degree of saturation and the cone resistance. From these results, it is judged that the lightweight dynamic cone penetrometer can be applied to the investigation on the site slope.

The standard CPT(Cone Penetration Test), which can be easily performed to investigate in-situ soil engineering properties, has been widely used. CPT are also widely being utilized in centrifuge model tests. In this study, a miniature cone with 10mm diameter was developed and its applicability in the centrifuge was evaluated. The developed miniature cone was equipped with a four degree-of-freedom in-flight robot. A series of cone penetration tests was performed under four centrifuge acceleration levels. As results, the cone resistances measured at the same confining stress within shallow penetration depth were affected by the centrifugal accelerations. The critical depth was proportional to the cone diameter and relative density. Cone resistances results below the critical depth and soil parameters obtained from the laboratory tests were compared with those by previously proposed empirical relations.

A series of CIDC triaxial tests and cone penetration tests in calibration chamber were performed to investigate the relationship between state parameter and normalized cone resistance far dredged Busan sand. From the results of the triaxial tests, the critical state line of Busan sand was established, and the critical state parameters found to be $M=1.39(\phi_{cs}=34^{\circ}),\;\Gamma=1.07$ and $\lambda=0.068$. By analyzing the state parameters and corresponding cone resistances for calibration chamber specimens, the relationship between normalized cone resistance and state parameter for Busan sand was defined as $(q_c-p)/p'=27.6\exp(-10.9\Psi)$. This relationship was also shown to be independent of the stress history. From the comparison of the slope of the normalized cone resistance, m, and the normalized cone resistance at $\Psi=0$, $\kappa$, with those of various sandy soils from over the world, the relationship of m and $\kappa$ with $\lambda_{ss}$ of Busan sand was concluded to show a good agreement with the result published previously, while Busan sand had the largest $\kappa$ among the soils with similar $\lambda_{ss}$ values.

Parametric studies based on laboratory pilot tests were performed to investigate the relationships between electrical resistivity and properties of contaminated soils. Three kinds of sandy soils sampled and leachate from an industrial waste landfill were mired to model the contaminated soils. Electrical resistivity of soils was measured by using a simulated resistivity cone penetrometer probe. In the experiments. the electrical resistivity was observed by changing the water content, void ratio, unit weight, degree of saturation, and concentration of the leachate. The test results show that the electrical resistivity of soils depends largely on the water content and the electrical property of pore water rather than unit weight and types of soils.

It is not easy to understand exact soil properties, because soil is nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. There are raany inefficient cases in aspect of time and economy in site survey. So this study tried to analyze the correlation of cone resistance and seismic velocity in order to present an efficient method in ground investigation. A cone penetrometer is frequently used to investigate soil properties, which are especially fit to investigate coastal soft ground. A portable cone penetrometer was used in this research. A portable cone penetrometer has an advantage in investigating the state of soil swiftly and is convenient to manipulate. Also, seismic prospecting is one of the most PoPular methods among geophysical prospecting methods in the estimation of ground properties and its usage is continuously increasing in the survey of soft ground Cone resistance makes a regular group according to stratum in each depth. The results of seismic prospecting show a tendency to have a certain coherence according to the boundary of straturft Therefore, cone resistance and seisrnic prospecting have considerable relations that rnay irnprnve the efficiency of ground investigation.
