Accurate prediction of the undrained shaft resistance is essential for robust design of bored piles in undrained condition. The undrained shaft resistance is calculated using the undrained adhesion factor multiplied by the undrained cohesion of the soil. However, the available correlations to predict the undrained adhesion factor have been developed using simple regression techniques and the accuracy of these correlations has not been thoroughly assessed in previous studies. The lack of the assessment of these correlations made it difficult for geotechnical engineers to select the most accurate correlation in routine designs. Furthermore, limited attempts have been made in previous studies to use advanced data mining techniques to develop simple and accurate correlation to predict the undrained adhesion factor. This research, therefore, has been conducted to fill these gaps in knowledge by developing novel and robust correlation to predict the undrained adhesion factor. The development of the new correlation has been conducted using the multi-objective evolutionary polynomial regression analysis. The new correlation outperformed the available empirical correlations, where the new correlation scored lower mean absolute error, mean square error, root mean square error and standard deviation of measured to predicted adhesion factor, and higher mean, a20-index and coefficient of correlation. The correlation also successfully showed the influence of the undrained cohesion and the effective stress on the adhesion factor. Hence, the new correlation enhances the design accuracy and can be used by practitioner geotechnical engineers to ensure optimized designs of bored piles in undrained conditions.

본 연구에서는 전통적인 압밀촉진공법의 단점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로 석션보드드레인 공법을 제안하고, 본 공법의 개량특성을 파악하기 위해, 배수재 종류 및 단계 진공압 조건에 따른 일련의 Column 실험을 실시하였다. 이때 실험 간 발생되는 침하량과 실험 종료 후 발생된 함수비 저감효과 및 강도증진효과를 파악하고, 개량 기간에 따른 압밀도를 파악하여 각 조건에 따른 최적의 석션보드드레인 공법 영향인자를 산정하고자 하였다. 각 배수재(포켓식 성곽형, 코일형, 하모니카 형, 원형 및 열융착식 성곽형배수재) 종류에 따른 개량 효과를 파악하기 위한 실험 결과, Core 형상(원형, 판형)과 필터의 Core 부착 여부(포켓식, 열융착식)에 의해 열융착식 성곽형 배수재와 포켓식 원형배수재의 배수효율이 다른 배수재의 경우 보다 좋게 나타났다. 단계석션압 조건 실험의 경우 최종 단계석션압인 $-0.8\;kg/cm^2$으로의 기간이 짧을수록 개량도가 크게 나타났다. 또한 각 석션압 단계 별 압밀도-적용기간 곡선 상의 변곡점을 이용하여 압밀효과를 극대화 시킬 수 있는 적용기간을 산정할 수 있었다.
