Structural experiment result showed that PHC(d=600mm) Pile used as a common compression member could resist 83.6 ~ 91.6 tonf of ultimate tension force, if the adhesion of P.C. bar of PHC pile to the concrete foundation is strengthened. Considering a proper safety factor to ultimate tension strength, PHC pile can substitute the anti-floating anchor, or reduce the number of anchors. For this purpose, pullout resistance behavior of a Bored pile embedded in real ground as well as structural tension strength of PHC pile must be evaluated. This study performed the static pullout tests to evaluate the pullout behavior of bored pile, and compared the test results with design value of side resistance. To evaluate the pullout resistance easily, static pullout test results were compared with dynamic loading test results using PDA. As a result, cement paste of the bored pile was hardened which is after 15 days, LH side resistance design value corresponded well to the Static pullout test results, also to the side resistance evaluated by dynamic loading test.

Pull-out load tests were performed on a CPR (Compaction grouting compound Pile with Reinforce) test pile, with skin friction being evaluated by the yield load and allowable bearing capacity after analyzing load-displacement curves and load-settlement curves. Results of the CPR test piles analyzed from the load-displacement curves show that the yield load and allowable bearing capacity of the large-diameter CPR test pile were about 1.4 times larger than that of the small-diameter pile. Results of the load-settlement curves reveal that the allowable bearing capacity of the CPR test pile with diameter of D500 was 1.2~2.1 times greater than that of the pile with diameter of D400. However, the allowable bearing capacity calculated using Fuller's analysis differed substantially from that determined using the P (Pull-out load) - S (Settlement) and log P - log S curves. Therefore, calculation of the allowable bearing capacity using Fuller's analysis is shown to be inappropriate.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the pullout characteristics of screw anchor pile using field pullout tests. A series of field pullout tests were performed on screw anchor piles with different geometric characteristics such as shaft and screw diameters. The results indicated that screw anchor piles exhibited significantly higher pullout capacities compared with the same diameter piles without screw. Also observed is that the set-up effect and the grouting significantly increase pullout capacities, although the magnitude of the increase depends on the ground condition. In addition the applicability of prediction methods for helical pile pullout capacity to screw anchor piles was also examined. The results are presented in such a way that the pullout characteristics of screw anchor piles with different installation conditions can be identified. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Based on the various test data acquired in the field, the large pressure chamber and the small pressure chamber, uplift behaviors and method of determining the ultimate uplift capacity of pile driven in small pressure chamber were studied. After uplift pile experienced 2 or 3 sudden slip due to increase of uplift load, complete pullout failure was occurred. Thus, it appears that the ultimate uplift capacity could be identified as the load at displacement where first slip occurs. The ultimate uplift capacity might be determined in every test and the disturbance after first uplift test could be recovered by adding one blow of the drop hammer, which had to depend on the model pile capacity.

In the present study, uplift load carrying behavior of micropiles with installation angle and pile spacing was investigated based on uplift load tests using single and group micropiles. In addition, evaluation methods of uplift load carrying capacity of group micropiles were proposed based on FHWA (2005) and Madhav (1987) and they were compared with test results to confirm the validity of proposed methods. From the test results, uplift load carrying capacities of single and group micropiles increased with the increase of the installation angle up to $30^{\circ}$, whose values also increased slightly with increasing pile spacing. For the proposed method based on FHWA (2005), the estimated values were similar to measured values up to $15^{\circ}$ of installation angle and 5D of pile spacing. For the proposed method based on Madhav (1987), on the other hand, it was observed that the estimated values were in good agreement with measured values in all installation conditions.

The micropile is small diameter pile foundation of which diameter is below 300 mm. This system has been applied to reinforce the foundation structure. In the present study, the effects of embedded conditions of group micropiles were investigated from a series of uplift load tests. For the study, uplift load tests were performed using group micropiles in various pile spacing and installation angle. The increase of uplift resistance and the reduction of uplift displacement were investigated in the tests. As the result, the resistances were principally changed by embedded pile angle, the resistance increase were 33%, 59% and 5% for $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ of embedded pile angle. The uplift displacement reduction increases with lower pile spacing condition and the reduction ratios of uplift displacements in the same spacing condition were 50%, 53%, -45% for $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ of embedded pile angle.

Performance improvement of helical piles in static load tests using hexagon joints that do not require welding or bolting was investigated. Two sites were selected for pile field tests to evaluate their bearing capacity. Static and pull-out load tests were undertaken to assess the method for estimating bearing capacity. The field tests indicated that the bearing capacity of the gravity grout pile was ≥600 kN in the static load test, consistent with the AC 358 Code. The non-grout pile had a bearing capacity of ≤600 kN, suggesting that gravity grouting is required. Field pile load-test results were used to establish the bearing capacity equation, based on a small number of helical pile.

In this study, three dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to predict axial (pullout and compressive) and lateral behavior of rock-socketed steel pipe pile varying diameter, wall thickness, and length. As a result of the pile pullout analyses, it was confirmed that the pullout displacement was inversely proportional to the pile diameter for given pile length, thickness, pullout load. Load-settlement relationship of the compressive pile analyses revealed that the effect of pile thickness on pile resistance was more significant than that of pile diameter. In addition, laterally loaded pile analyses showed that pile lateral resistance is influenced above all else by pile diameter. This study showed that it is necessary to conduct numerical analyses to identify the effects of pile diameter, wall thickness, and pile length on the steel pipe pile behavior as a preliminary pile design under specified loading conditions.

반복하중을 받는 현장타설말뚝에 대한 두 가지의 주요 관심사항은: (a) 지지력의 변화 가능성 그리고 (b) 누적변형량에 의한 기초의 가능성 저하이다. 이러한 인자들에 대한 평가를 위하여, 모형점토지반에 설치된 24개의 모형현장타설말뚝에 대한 정적 및 동적경사재하시험(12개의 압축 및 12개의 인발)을 수행하였다. 경사반복압축재하시험에서는 반복하중에 의한 지지력의 변화가 무시할 정도였으며, 누적변형량은 송전철탑의 기능성에 영향을 줄수도 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, 경사반복인발시험에서는 과도한 누적변형이 발생하게 되어 결과적으로 현장타설말뚝주변과 점토사이의 접촉면적이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 접촉면적의 감소 결과, 반복경사인발하중에 의해서 경사인발지지력의 현저한 감소가 일어난다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 정적경사인발지지력의 50에서 70퍼센트에 해당되는 반복하중을 받는 대부분의 현장타설말뚝들은 인발되었다.

Wood piles are rarely used in the construction of a greenhouse in Korea, but they are relatively more often used in other countries, such as the Netherlands. There are several advantages associated with wood piles: they are more cost-effective, less time-consuming, and more ecofriendly than the steel pipes (SPs) and pre-stressed highstrength (PHC) piles. However, one of the limiting conditions is that they have to be installed below the groundwater level to prevent decay. Since the groundwater levels are generally high in the reclaimed lands in Korea, wood piles are expected to be used often as reinforcements for foundations of greenhouses in these areas. In this study, we measured the uplift capacities of wood piles through in-situ uplift capacity tests with an aim to provide basic design data for wood pile foundations. In order to test their applicability, we then compared these experimentally measured ultimate uplift capacities with the ones calculated through some of the existing theoretical equations. The wood piles used in the loading tests were made of softwood (pine wood), and the tests were performed using piles with different diameters (∅25cm and ∅30cm) and embedded depths (1m, 3m, and 5m). The test results revealed that the uplift capacity of the wood piles showed a clear linearly increasing tendency in proportion to the embedded depth, with the ultimate uplift capacities for the diameters 25cm and 30cm being 9.38 and 10.56tf, respectively, at the embedded depth of 5m; thus demonstrating uplift capacities of ${\geq}9tf$. The comparison between the actually measured values of the uplift capacity and the ones calculated through equations revealed that the latter, which were obtained using the ${\alpha}$ method, were generally in an approximate agreement with the in-situ measured values.
