Statistical Analysis of Marine Sediment Properties from the San Diego Trough
Abstract
Results of measurements of the properties of sediments in the San Diego Trough were statistically analyzed by computer. Data analyzed included results of 37 series of in-place vane shear strength measurements and laboratory tests on 67 sediment cores collected in a 40 sq km^2 area during 21 dives with the submersible DEEP QUEST. Sediment properties determined to a depth of 1.2 meters included original and remolded vane shear strength, water content, saturated and dry unit weight, porosity, void ratio, and several grain size distribution parameters. A computer data management system was developed specifically to efficiently manipulate and interface the geotechnical data with major statistical programs.
