| Abstract | The six sublayer model of HUNG (1966) for soil stratigraphy of
Sungshan Formation is verified and used in this study. The three major
zones of Sungshan Formation within Taipei City are further divided into
seven subzones on the basis of the characteristics of the deposit materials, variability of strata distribution and variability of soil properties: Keelung River Deposit Zone is further subdivided into Subzone Kl
and K2; Hsintien River Deposit Zone is further subdivided into Subzone Hl
and H2; Tamshui River Deposit Zone is further subdivided into Subzone Tl,
T2 and T3.
A preliminary study on the geotechnical characteristics of Sungshan
Formation is made by analyzing the mean, standard deviation and coefficient
of variation of sublayer thickness, physical properties and engineering
properties from laboratory tests and in-situ tests. Linear regressions
between the engineering properties and depth for Sublayer IV of Subzone
Kl, K2 and T2, the prime sublayer in concern with engineering practice,
are available. The variability of soil properties in Sungshan Formation
is within the normal limits of variability as evaluated by the coefficients
of variation . All these statistical results are applicable in preliminary
design and planning but should not be applied in detail design without
verification. |
