초록

강둑의 안정성을 평가하기 위해서 강둑의 내부구조를 알아야 한다. 만약 물리탐사 방법이 콘관입시험(cone penetration test; CPT)과 시추(drilling)와 같은 지반공학기법과 함께 이용된다면 강둑의 안정성 평가를 위해 가장 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있다. 맥상체나 하층토는 일반적으로 다양한 범위의 압도를 갖는 물질들로 구성되어 있으므로 강둑에서 물의 침투 및 기계적 안정성을 예측하기 위해서는 토양의 특성 및 층상구조를 정확히 평가해야만 한다. 이 연구에서는 매우 긴 강둑에 대하여 이러한 변수들을 매우 효과적으로 알아내기 위하여 물리탐사 자료를 이용한다. 물리탐사 방법으로 측정된 제방 토양의 S파 속도와 전기비저항을 이용하여 토양을 분류한다. 이러한 분류는 미고결 사질토 모델(unconsolidated sand model)이라 불리는 물리적 토양 모델에 기초한다. 이러한 모델을 이용하여 S파 속도와 전기비저항 종단면도로부터 강둑을 따라 토양 종단면도가 만들어진다. 이러한 토양 종단면도는 강둑 조사에 대해 그 유용성이 이미 검증된 지반공학 검층자료(geotechnical logs)에 의해 검증되어 왔다.

The internal structure of a river embankment must be delineated as part of investigations to evaluate its safety. Geophysical methods can be most effective means for that purpose, if they are used together with geotechnical methods such as the cone penetration test (CPT) and drilling. Since the dyke body and subsoil in general consist of material with a wide range of grain size, the properties and stratification of the soil must be accurately estimated to predict the mechanical stability and water infiltration in the river embankment. The strength and water content of the levee soil are also parameters required for such prediction. These parameters are usually estimated from CPT data, drilled core samples and laboratory tests. In this study we attempt to utilise geophysical data to estimate these parameters more effectively for very long river embankments. S-wave velocity and resistivity of the levee soils obtained with geophysical surveys are used to classify the soils. The classification is based on a physical soil model, called the unconsolidated sand model. Using this model, a soil profile along the river embankment is constructed from S-wave velocity and resistivity profiles. The soil profile thus obtained has been verified by geotechnical logs, which proves its usefulness for investigation of a river embankment.
