Abstract
Multiple linear regression techniques were employed in a statistical
analysis of data from 114 deep sea cores in order to derive an equation
for predicting shear strength from sediment engineering index properties.
Water content, depth of burial, liquid limit, and plastic limit proved to
be the only factors significantly influencing the strength in these cores.
The multiple and individual correlation coefficients between these four
parameters and the logarithm of shear strength proved to be higher than
the coefficients computed in a linear strength relation. Additionally,
other regression analysis were conducted to determine a water content prediction
equation and to investigate correlations among other sediment
properties. Water content is shown to be highly correlated with liquid
limit. Ancillary to the above analysis, tests were conducted to determine
the degree of reproducibility of original liquid limit values from dried
sediment material.
