Soil Parameters in the New Design Code for Fort Facilities in Japan

摘要

In the new design code for port facilities in Japan, the depth profile of the derived values is modeled as the profile of the estimated values so as to be either the mean value or the regression line, then the correction factors are multiplied to the estimated value according to the coefficient of variation (if COV > 0.1) and the number of the data entries (if n < 10). The new port-design code is applied to both the unconfined compression test results and recompression triaxial test results in order to evaluate the undrained shear strengths to emphasize that the latter test has many advantages in design over the former test.
