Abstract

In the present work, a number of advanced three-dimensional (3D) parametric finite element numerical analyses have been conducted to study the behaviour of a single pile in consolidating ground from coupled consolidation analyses. A single pile with typical minimum and maximum ranges of fill height and clay stiffness has been modelled. The computed results demonstrate that the higher the height of the fill above the clay surface and the smaller the stiffness of the clay, the higher the dragloads and the negative skin friction-induced pile settlements. It has been found that the development of dragloads and pile settlement is more governed by the stiffness of the clay rather than the height of the fill. Positive shaft resistance is mobilised only after the average degree of consolidation is larger than 50%. Although the pile is installed when the degree of consolidation is 50% or more, relatively large negative skin friction can nevertheless develop on the pile. On the other hand, when a load is applied on the pile experiencing an increase in the negative skin friction with time during consolidation, the pile undergoes a large increase in the final settlement of up to 95% compared to that of a pile without axial load on the pile head. The allowable pile capacity when there is negative skin friction on the pile is reduced by about 4-11% compared to a pile without negative skin friction.

본 연구에서는 압밀을 고려한 고등 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 압밀이 진행중인 지반에 근입된 단독말뚝의 거동을 지배하는 주요인자에 대한 검토를 실시하였다. 일반적으로 실무에서 고려되는 최소 및 최대 범위의 성토고 및 연약지반의 탄성계수를 가정하여 단독말뚝을 고려하였다. 성토고가 높을수록 그리고 점토의 탄성계수가 작을수록 말뚝에 작용하는 부마찰은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 부마찰력 및 침하는 성토고 보다는 점토의 탄성계수에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 부마찰에 의한 말뚝의 부마찰력 및 침하는 압밀 초기 단계에서 비교적 빠르게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 정마찰은 압밀 초기에는 발현되지 않았다가 압밀도 50% 이후부터 급격하게 증가하였다. 말뚝이 압밀이 상당히 진행된 압밀도 50% 이상인 지반에 설치되어도 비교적 큰 크기의 부마찰이 말뚝에 발생할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 부마찰이 발생 중인 말뚝에 하중을 작용시키면 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 말뚝의 최종침하가 최대 약 95% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부마찰이 작용하는 말뚝의 설계지지력은 부마찰이 작용하지 않는 말뚝에 비해 약 4-11% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.
