Abstract

The results of PCPT(Pezocone Penetration Test) are widely used for the estimation of the undrained shear strength, for which the empirical cone factors($N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_{{\Delta}u}$) need to be obtained at each site. In this study, the cone factors were estimated, for the soils at Bookmyun area in Changwon city, using the undrained shear strengths from the unconfined and UU triaxial compression tests. The parametric studies with plastic index and pore water pressure ratio were performed as well. $N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$ and $N_{{\Delta}u}$ were estimated in the ranges of 8~40, 7~37, and 1~26 respectively. It was observed that there is a relationship between the cone factors, specially $N_{{\Delta}u}$, and the pore pressure ratio.

콘 관입시험 결과는 현장의 비배수전단강도 결정을 위하여 광범위하게 활용되고 있으며, 이를 위하여 지역별로 적절한 경험적 콘 지수($N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_{{\Delta}u}$)의 결정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 창원 북면 지역 지반에 대하여 일축 압축시험 및 비압밀비배수 삼축압축시험 결과를 이용하여 콘 지수를 산정하였으며, 소성지수 및 간극수압비와의 관계를 고찰하였다. $N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_{{\Delta}u}$은 각각 8~40, 7~37, 1~26으로 산정되었으며, 간극수압비와 비교적 큰 연관성이 있음이 고찰되었다.
