Study on grain-size characteristics and geotechnical properties of surface sediments in the northeast Qingdao sea area
Based on the data of 123 sea samples from Jimo city,Qingdao and the historical investigation data,this paper made a statistical analysis of the relationship between the indoor particle size parameters and the in-situ geotechnical characteristics,and obtained the sedimentary environment division of the study area and the correla-tion between the particle size parameters and the geotechnical parameters.The study showed that the sedimentary environment of the study area could be divided into coastal sedimentary environment,transitional sedimentary en-vironment,shallow marine sedimentary environment and residual sedimentary environment.The correlation be-tween grain size parameters and geotechnical parameters in different sedimentary environments was good,but the correlation formula was obviously different.These relationships could provide a basis for understanding the engi-neering geological conditions of the study area,and provide a reference for inversion of the engineering geological characteristics of the regional seabed by using the existing research data.
