Recent study of soft clay of Nakdong-River basin has been taken correlation between soil properties by regression analysis without distribution whether the sample is disturbed or not, or treated as a whole area without proposing local correlation equation to Jang-U or Dae-Joe which has a specific locality. Accordingly, Those tendency cause the reliability of correlation between compression index and void ratio low and then design underestimate and uncertain eventually. In this study, Distributing the soft clay of Nakdong-River basin with failure strain of 6%, the suggestion by Skempton(1957), TakeNaka(1966)-the more sample is undisturbed, the more the ratio of E$\_$50/ and ｑ$\_$u/, ${\alpha}$ = E$\_$50//(q$\_$u//2) = 1/$\varepsilon$$\_$50/ is high-is satisfied with the value of which ${\alpha}$ is 50 and It could be taken enough data in the condition of domestic. Besides other indices also make the distribution suitable. In conclusion, This study is supposed to propose the locally subdivided regression equation between compression index and void ratio considering the sample disturbance.

This study is about the back analysis to optimize the uncertain parameters of geotechnical properties used in stability analysis of cut and cover tunnel. The Simplex algorithm, Powell algorithm, Rosenbrock algorithm, and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm are applied for artificial problems of ground excavation. Furthermore, results are compared in the matter of the reliability of optimal solutions with a certain accuracy and the computation speed for evaluations of variables. As shown in results of numerical analysis, all of four algorithms are converged to exact solution satisfying the allowable criteria. And Levenberg-Marquardt's and Rosenbrock's algorithms are identified to be the more efficient methods in the evaluations of functions. After the back analysis for Poisson ratio and Young's modulus for cut and cover tunnel has been performed, design parameters have been correctly estimated and computation time has been improved while the number of measure points is increased.
