비검측공 시험법을 현장타설말뚝의 건전도 평가 목적으로 적용함에 있어서 시험법의 적용성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 같은 맥락에서 수행되어 온 일련의 해석적 연구 결과 중 시험법의 해상도에 관한 문제와 말뚝 주변 및 선단지반의 강성이 비검측공 시험결과에 미치는 영향에 관해 다루었다. 본 논문에서 수행한 연구결과에 의하면 충격응답기법의 해상도를 평가하기 위해서는 말뚝재료에 대한 지반의 강성비($V_{s}$ /$V_{c}$)와 말뚝의 길이에 대한 직경의 비(L/D)에 의존하는 기존 평가기준에 부가하여 말뚝의 상대적인 체적변화가 필히 고려되어야 한다는 결론을 얻었다. 한편, 말뚝이 수평으로 층이 진 주변 지반을 통과하여 말뚝선단부를 지지하는 지반(선단지반)에 근입되거나 지지되는 경우에 말뚝의 자유단 혹은 고정단 경계 조건은 주변 지반과 선단 지반의 강성비와 선단 지반에 대한 말뚝의 근입깊이에 따라 변화한다는 사실을 규명하였다. 말뚝의 건전도 평가 시에 사용하게 되는 말뚝의 공진주파수가 이들 조건에 따라 변화하므로 결과적으로 시험결과분석에 있어서 이들 영향이 필히 고려되어야 한다는 결론을 얻었다.

The load distribution and deformation of single piles which is embedded in Jumunjin sand and Kimhae clay are investigated, based on small scale model tests. Special attention is given to the consideration of flexural rigidity in laterally loaded piles. To consider the flexural rigidity of the pile, tests are performed with the aluminium piles of three different length under different relative densities and undrained shear strength. The test results indicate that the initial slope from the results of tests is proportional to the depth and pile-soil rigidity in both soils. But the increasing rate of the initial slope in the clay is less than in the sand. In addition, the soil resistance is more related to the depth and soil condition than the pile rigidity. Base on the test results, an empirical formula is proposed, which is good agreement with previously published small scale model test and field lateral load test.

구조물 지진해석을 위한 구조물 -지반 상호작용 해석에서도 비선형 지반 특성을 고려한 비선형해석이 요구되고 있어 구조물 비선형 지진 해석을 위해 기초 지반에 대한 수평방향 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 기초지반은 UBC 분류에서 규정한 보통지반인 Sn 지반과 연약지반인 SE 지반을 고려하였고, 지반의 비선형 특성은 Ramberg-Osgood 모델을 이용하였다. 비선형 지반이 기초지반 수평 및 회전 동적 강성 및 감쇠비에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 얕은 기초와 묻힌기초에 대해 기초 크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무에 따른 동적 강성 및 감쇠비 변화를 조사하였는데, 지반의 비선형 특성이 기초지반의 선형 수평 및 회전 강성과 감쇠비를 크게 감소 또는 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 기초크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무의 영향도 큰 것으로 나타나 구조물 지진해석시 기초크기, 지반깊이 및 말뚝유무와 함께 지반의 비선형성도 고려하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of superstructure considering several factors such as change of pile rigidity, soil characteristics, and the constraint condition of support. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Pile-rigidity computed by the rotating deformed plane method is continuously varied up to approximately 5D(D=diameter of pile) below the ground level. This result is consistent with the previous study$^{(12)}$, in which the pile deformation occurs at approximately $3{\sim}6$ times of pile diameter from the ground level. 2. For bridge structure-pile system, analytical results of internal forces and deformations show different values for modified pile rigidity and unchanged pile rigidity. 3. Detaild analysis considering modified pile rigidity is required for the long-span bridge design with structure pile system.

In this study, pile load tests have been carried out to develop new P-y curves and then, to investigate the effects of pile rigidities on laterally loaded offshore drilled shafts in Incheon marine clay. This paper consists mainly of two parts: the first part, performance of a series of lateral load tests on small- and full-scale piles under one- and two-way loadings and the second part, comparison between the measured and predicted results by using O'Neill's and Matlock's clay models. Based on the results obtained, it is shown that relatively good agreements in bending moments and lateral displacements were obtained between the measured results using calculated P-y curves and predicted ones by O'Neill's and Matlock's clay models. The cases were considered with varying rigidity factors based on pile diameter, length and subgrade soil reaction. Through comparisons, it is found that soil P-y curve influences highly the behavior of flexible pile rather than that of rigid pile.

A numerical analysis on the effect of increasing tensile stiffness of the geosynthetics on the soil displacement and pile efficiency was conducted. Parametric studies by changing the stiffness of soft soil, internal friction and dilatancy angles of the embankment material, and flexual stiffness of the composite layer including the geosynthetics were carried out. In general, increasing stiffness of the geosynthetics improves the pile efficiency, whereas the amount of its improvement depends on the condition of parameters. In case of the sufficiently low stiffness of the soft soil or high flexual stiffness of the composite layer including the geosynthetics, a noticeable increase in the pile efficiency can be observed. When the stiffness of the soft soil is very low, the increase in the stiffness of the geosynthetics can significantly reduce the vertical displacement in the piled embankment. When the flexual stiffness of the composite layer is sufficiently high, increasing stiffness of the geosynthetics can greatly improve the pile efficiency.

A series of model tests was performed to find the characteristics of lateral behavior of single rigid pile. This paper shows the results of model tests on the lateral behavior of single rigid driven pile in non-homogeneous(two layered) Nak-Dong River sands. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length, the coefficient ratio of the subgrade reaction and the pile construction conditions(driven & embedded piles) on the characteristics of lateral behavior of single pile. The results of model tests show that the lateral behavior in non-homogeneous soil depends upon drop energy considerably, that is, in the case of H/L=0.75, as the drop energy increases three times the decrease percentage increases about 2.12 times. In the driven pile with non-homogeneous soil of $E_{h1}/E_{h2}=5.56$, the effect of upper layer with large stiffness on the decrease of lateral deflection is remarkably smaller than embedded pile. In non-homogeneous soil, the maximum bending moment of driven pile is in the range of 100 132% in comparison with embedded pile. The reason is that the stiffness of soil around pile increases with drop vibration and so the pile behavior is similar to the flexible pile behavior by means of the increase of relative stiffness of pile, In this paper, the experimental equations for lateral load and H/L on $y_D/y_E \; & \; MBM_D/MBM_E$ are suggested from model tests.

In this study, the effect of aspect ratio and soil strength on the skin friction for barrette pile was evaluated using numerical analysis. The back analysis was conducted to obtain the friction coefficient between pile and soil using the experimental results of the static pile load test for the barrette pile installed at OOsite in Busan. A total of 36 simulations for the static pile load test were also conducted with respect to various aspect ratios and soil strengths. It was found that the skin friction increases as the aspect ratio increases and the change in increasing rate was remarkable near the ultimate skin friction. In addition, the effect of aspect ratio on the skin friction was investigated when the strength of soil at pile tip was varied.

In this study, the axial stiffness of reinforcing piles (K_vr) for the vertical extension remodeling structures was estimated through 3D finite element analysis. In the computation of the minimum required axial stiffness of reinforcing piles, proposed maximum axial stiffness of old and deteriorated existing piles (K_ve) based on theoretical and experimental approaches will be applied. Through this, the required increase rate of axial stiffness of reinforcing piles in order to support the increased structural loading was proposed for end-bearing and friction piles by different slenderness ratio (L/D). The numerical model was validated by comparing the computed results with actual field measurements. Based on the computed results, it was concluded that the end-bearing reinforcing pile needs 44% - 67% increase in axial stiffness to deal with the deterioration of existing piles and support the additional structural load due to vertical extension remodeling.

This study presents the application of the numerical and analytical technique to simulate the Load Distribution Ratio (LDR) and to define axial stiffness on reinforcing pile foundation ($K_{vr}$) in vertical extension remodeling structure. The main objective of this study was to investigate the LDR between existing piles and reinforcing piles. Therefore, to analyze the LDR, 3D FEM analysis was performed as variable for elastic modulus, pile end-bearing condition, raft contacts, and relative position of reinforcing pile in a group. Also, using the axial stiffness ($K_{ve}$) of existing piles, the axial stiffness of reinforcing pile was defined by 3D approximate computer-based method, YSPR (Yonsei Piled Raft). In addition $K_{vr}$ was defined by reducing the $K_{ve}$considering the degradation of the existing piles.
