In this study, a new noise & vibration-free screw concrete pile method that was expected environmentally friendly method was introduced, also the numerical analyses of a conventional PHC pile and a new screw concrete pile were done. As a result, the bearing capacity behavior and the settlement behavior of 2 kinds of concrete pile were analyzed and compared.

Noise and vibration due to pile driving cause residents nearby construction sites to file civil complaints and to the extent of bringing construction to a halt. To deal with this issue, construction engineers have worked strenuously to develop several types of low noise & low vibration pile methods. In this study, a new noise and vibration-free precast screw pile method proposed as a low noise & low vibration pile. It penetrates into the ground by rotating and pressing to avert noise and vibration while maximizing bearing capacity. A prototype of noise and vibration-free precast screw pile method was manufactured, which is not seen anywhere in Korea and elsewhere, and have undergone pilot tests twice to determine construction method. Based on this study, features of the noise & vibration-free screw pile method, production of screw concrete pile prototype, two pilot tests and subsequent construction method were determined.

Because the regulation for a noise and a vibration in our country has been being reinforced more and more, a more environment-friendly pile construction method than a current low-noise and low-vibration method was needed for the close construction in the downtown area. In this study, the characteristics of a screw concrete pile method for noise and vibration-free method was explained, and it's vertical bearing capacity was studied in the base of the static pile load test data of the screw concrete piles. Constructed by two methody; a pre-digging shoe type construction method and a toe-jetting shoe type construction method. The vertical load bearing capacity of a screw pile constructed by the former was more about 70% than that of a screw pile constructed by the latter.

Because the noise and vibration regulations in domestic areas are being tightened more and more, a more environmentfriendly method than the current low-noise & low-vibration methods is needed. In this study, the characteristics of screw concrete piles for reduction of noise and vibration were explained, and during pilot tests the noise and vibration were measured. The measured vibration value is satisfied with the vibration regulations at 7.5m distance from the source. The measured noise value is exceeded over about 2dB(A) at the 15.0m distance from the source but these values are about 5~20dB(A) less than the measured values of the current low-noise & low-vibration method.
