Abstract

To investigate the applicability of physical prospecting technique in soft ground assessment, the resistivity monitoring data of 6 months are acquired. The Multichannel Analysis Surface Wave (MASW) has been additionally performed to identify the shear wave velocity and strength distribution of soft ground. Moreover, by using the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and laboratory tests of drilling samples, a relationship with the physical prospect data is checked and the reliability of the physical prospect data is increased. Through these activities, the behavior patterns of soft soil are identified by long term monitoring, and the significant relationship between the shear wave velocity and laboratory tests has been confirmed, both of which can be useful in the surface wave exploration to evaluate the strength of soft ground. Finally, using the geostatistical method, 3-dimensional soil base distribution images are obtained about the combined physical prospecting data with heterogeneous data. Through the studies, the nature of entire area can be determined by long term resistivity monitoring for the soft ground assessment in wider area. It would be more economic and reliable if additional exploring and drilling samples can be analyzed, which can reinforce the assessment.

연약지반의 평가를 위한 물리탐사기법의 적용성을 알아보기 위해 총 6개월간의 전기비저항 모니터링자료를 취득하였다. 추가적으로 다중채널 표면파 탐사(Multichannel Analysis Surface Wave; MASW)를 실시하여 전단파 속도와 연약지반의 강도분포를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한, 콘 관입시험(Cone Penetration Test; CPT)과 시추 시료의 실내시험을 이용하여 물리탐사 자료와의 상관성을 확인하고 탐사 자료의 신뢰성을 높이고자 하였다. 그 결과 장기간의 모니터링 자료로부터 연약지반의 거동양상을 파악할 수 있었고, 추가 탐사를 통해 얻은 전단파 속도와 실내 시험간의 유의미한 상관관계가 확인되어 연구 지역 연약지반의 강도를 평가하는데 있어 표면파 탐사의 유용성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 지구통계학적 방법을 이용하여 물리탐사 자료와 이종 자료에 대한 3차원적인 지반 분포 영상을 획득하였다. 본 연구를 통해 넓은 영역에서의 연약지반 평가를 위해서는 장기간의 전기비저항 모니터링으로 영역 전체의 특성을 파악해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 보강할 수 있는 추가적인 탐사 자료와 시추 자료를 이용한다면 경제적이고, 신뢰성 있는 평가가 이루어 질 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
