Correlation analysis between Engineering properties and mineralogy of clay sediments in New Busan Port area of the estuary of the Nakdong River

Nakdong River Plain and its adjoining sea arc unusually covered by very thick soft clay sediments which were caned Pusan clays, sometimes reaching 40-70m. Since early 1990s a large number of geotechnical investigations have been carried out for land reclamation works in the area, including Busan city and its neighboring cities. Nevertheless, geotechnical engineers have paid little attention to studying geological characteristics on the clays, except some researches related to mineralogy, geo-chemistry, benthic foraminiferal fauna etc. The purpose of reserach is the knowledge of the correlation between engineering properties and mineralogy of clay sediments. The correlation analysis carry out multiple regression that have independent variables (Engineering properties) and dependent variables (mineralogy, geochemistry). Engineering properties of clay are correlated with the mineral compositions and geochemical characteristics. The result of the analysis is Wn = -0,6Feldspar + 1.1pH + 0.01TDS + 27.5, Ip = 0.36Clay + 1.44Vermiculite + 0.94clay mineral - 22.118, PI. = 0.005TDS - 0.31Feldspar + 22.43, eo = 0.02Vermiculite - 0.01Quartz + TDS + 0.93, ${\nu}$t = 0.009Quartz - 0.06Conductivity + 1.67, E50 = 1.94Vermicuhte - 0.96Kaohnite -0.53silt + 49.64, SR = -0.25Kaolinite + 1.5pH -2.3Conductivity, Cc = 0.03pH + TDS -0.2, LL = 0.5Clay + 1.3Vermiculite + 5.5Conductivity + 0.8Caly mineral -20.48
