Relationship between Electrical Resistivity and Hydraulic Resistance Capacity measured by Rotating Cylinder Test

摘要

Recently,constructions of coastal structure including wind turbine structure have increased at southwest shore of Korea.There is a big difference of tide which rage from 3.0 m to 8.0 m at south and wet shore of Korea,respectively.In such ocean circumstance,large scour may occur due to multi-directional tidal current and transverse stress of the wind.therefore scour surrounding wind turbine structure can make system unsafe due to unexpected system vibration.In this study,hydraulic resistance capacity,i.e.,critical velocity and critical shear stress,was evaluated by RCT.Uni-directional and bi-directional hydraulic resistance capacities of the samples which were consolidated by different preconsolidation pressures were correlated with soil resistivities of same samples.According to the correlation,it is possible to estimate hydraulic resistance capacity from electrical resistivity of soil.Through the updating the correlation for various soil types,it is expected that the hydraulic resistance capacity of whole construction site will be simply determined from the electrical resistivity.
