Abstract

A series of two-dimensional (2D) finite element analyses have been performed to study the behaviour of single piles in consolidating ground. The analysis was conducted based on coupled analyses by considering changes of pore water pressure in the clay. In the analyses the soil slippage at the pile and the soil interface has been included. The method widely used in practice somewhat overestimates dragload by about 25% compared to the rigorous numerical analysis since partial mobilization of skin friction near neutral plane and reductions in the vertical soil stress is not incorporated. When soil slip develops at most of the pile length at the pile-soil interface during consolidation, further increases in dragload is not significant. Application of coating on the pile surface can reduce dragload and pile settlement substantially, but under an axial load on the pile head very large pile settlement can be developed unless pile tip is located to a stiff bearing layer.

본 연구에서는 2차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 부마찰(negative skin friction) 이 작용하는 단독말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 압밀의 진행에 따른 부마찰의 변화를 검토하기 위하여 압밀해석을 실시하였으며, 말뚝과 주변지반 사이에서의 항복(yielding, slip)을 고려하였다. 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 -방법에 의해 부마찰력을 산정하는 경우 중립면 부근에서의 전단강도의 부분발현 및 지중응력의 감소를 반영할 수 없기 때문에 정밀유한요소 해석에 비하여 부마찰력이 25% 정도 과하게 평가된다. 압밀이 진행 중일 때 말뚝과 지반사이 대부분의 구간에서 항복이 발생하는 경우 더 이상의 부마찰력의 증가는 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 부마찰이 발생하는 말뚝에 코팅을 실시하는 경우 부마찰력의 크기 및 말뚝의 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있으나, 말뚝두부에 상재하중이 작용할 때 말뚝의 선단이 충분히 견고한 지지층에 설치되어 있지 않은 경우 말뚝의 마찰저항력이 매우 작아서 말뚝에 큰 침하가 발생할 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
