The resistance bias factors for driven steel pipe piles are evaluated as a part of study to develop the LRFD(Load and Resistance Factor Design) for foundation structures in Korea. The 43 data sets of static load tests and soil property tests performed in the whole domestic area were collected and analyzed to determine the representative bearing capacities of the piles using various methods. Based on the statistical analysis of the data, the Davisson's criterion is proved to be the most reasonable method for estimation of pile bearing capacity among the methods used. The static bearing capacity formulas and the Meyerhof method using N values are applied to calculate the design bearing capacity of the piles. The resistance bias factors of the driven steel pipe piles are evaluated respectively as 0.98 and 1.46 by comparison of the bearing capacities for both of the static bearing capacity formulas and the Meyerhof method. It is also shown that uncertainty of the static bearing capacity formulas is relatively less than that of the Meyerhof method.

모래지반의 상대밀도, 말뚝의 시공방법, 일정근입깊이에 따른 소요향타 에너지 그리고 지하수 조건에 따라 말뚝의 지지력과 하중전이를 연구하기 위하여 강관말뚝을 이용한 모형실험을 수행하였다. 매입말뚝은 말뚝을 미리 설치한후에 지반성형을 실시하였고, 타입말뚝은 매입말뚝과 같은 깊이까지 항타높이를 5, 10, 15cm로 달리하여 말뚝을 관입하였다. 그 뒤 정적하중을 단계적으로 가하여 하중-침하 곡선에 의한 모형 말뚝의 지지력과ㅏ 말뚝내의 등간격으로 설치된 변형 게이지를 이용하여 타입말뚝 의 하중전이에 대해 살펴보았다. 타입말뚝의 하중전이시험에서는 항타 전과 항타 후 말뚝내 하중전의 소효항타 에너지에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 매입말뚝의 시험결과는 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 대표적인 정적 지지력 공식들에 의하여 계산되어진 값들과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 상대밀도가 작은 느슨한모래지반에서는 Vesic 공식이 그리고 상대밀도가 큰 조밀한 모래지반에서는 Hanbu 공식이 가장 근접한 평가를 나타내었다. 하중전이시험에 의한 항타시 잔류응력은 모든 경우에서 지표면과 선단부위에서 아주 큰 잔류응력이 나타났고. 말뚝의 선단 지지력비는 상대밀도에 비례하게 증가하였다.

Open-ended pipe piles are often used for the foundations of both land and offshore structures because of their relatively low driving resistance. In this study, load tests were performed on model pipe piles installed in calibration chamber samples in order to investigate the effects of pile installation method on soil plugging and bearing capacity. Results of the test program showed that the incremental filling ratio (IFR), which is used to indicate the degree of soil plugging in open-ended piles, decreased (i) with increasing hammer weight for the same driving energy and (ii) with increasing hammer weight at the same fall height. The base and shaft resistance of the piles were observed to increase (i) with increasing hammer weight for the same driving energy and (ii) with increasing hammer weight at the given same fa11 height. The jacked pile was found to be have higher bearing capacity than an identical driven pile under similar conditions, mostly due to the more effective development of a soil plug in jacking than in driving.

This study analyzes behavior of bearing capacity of open-ended pipe pile from laboratory experiment results. Unlike the conventional pipe piles, cone penetration is implemented into the inside of the pipe pile. During the cone penetration, cone driving energy helps densification of plugged soils and soils below the pile end. Sand pluviator was used to obtain homogeneous soil layers. Two kinds of piles with different pile outer surface roughness were prepared, and two different drop heights of pile driving were applied. Eight experimental cases varying pile outer surface roughness, pile driving energy for conventional and cone penetration implemented piles were conducted. From the experiments, ultimate load of the pile increased approximately by 70% for increased pile driving height, and it increased by 21% for rougher surface pile. When cone penetration is implemented, the ultimate load increased by 40% in average.

In Korea, driven piles are generally penetrated up to weathered rock or harder strata. Friction piles have been used to some extent in the southwest coastal area with deep soils; however, friction piles are not extensively due to uncertainties about construction quality. The embedded pile construction method is primarily used due to noise and vibration complaints. However, in Southeast Asian countries (e.g., Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam), where soft sediments are deep, the driven pile method is commonly used due to its economic advantages. Construction companies are increasingly entering overseas construction markets, e.g., Southeast Asia; thus, it is necessary to understand the behavior of driven friction piles in the soil and improve on-site engineering management to gain market competitiveness in these countries. In this study, the bearing capacity of friction piles driven into clayey coastal soils in Vietnam with time-dependent characteristics was evaluated based on the dynamic and static pile load tests. Based on the results, a modified Danish formula is proposed for on-site quality management.

본 연구에서는 기존의 PC말뚝과 PHC말뚝의 시공성과 지지력에 대한 비교확인 시험의 결과를 근거로 하여 PHC말뚝의 시공상의 장점, 특성 및 경제성을 파악하였으며, SIP공법에 의하여 PHC말뚝을 사용시 기존 PC말뚝이나 강관말뚝보다 경제성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 또한 PHC말뚝은 압축강도와 지지혁이 기존 PC말뚝보다 높을 뿐만아니라 강관말뚝과 같이 용접이음이 가능하고 말뚝의 심도가 깊은 경우에도 강관말뚝과의 대체시공이 가능하여 PHC말뚝의 성능을 극대화할 수 있는 적절한 항타장비를 사용하는 경우에는 혁신적인 원가절감이 가능함을 확인할 수 있다.

Various pile load tests were carried out at Gwangyang district for 10 different piles in order to analyze the characteristcs of steel pile using high strength steel and high driving energy. Pile drivability results showed that PHC piles needed highest total blow count even with the shortest pile length and high strength steel pipe piles showed smallest total blow count eventhough driven to a more hard ground condition with longer pile length. Pile dynamic analysis results showed that for PHC pile and general steel pipe pile the allowable pile design load was decided by the allowable material strength but for high strength steel pipe pile the design load can be decided according to the ground bearing capacity. Static load test and load transfer test results showed that the pile design efficiency could be improved over 80% allowing lesser number of piles necessary for a more economical solution. Set-up effects was analyzed and regression equation for the site ground condition was derived. Bearing capacity was checked with widely used design equation and the limitation of current design method and future technology development on this subject is dicussed in this paper.

Steel pipe piles have been used as various deep foundation materials for a long time. Recent increase in steel material cost has made engineers reluctant in using it even with its good quality and ease of construction. Therefore when constructing with steel pipe pile, the decision to reuse the excessive pile length that is cut off from the designed pile head elevation after pile driving can be cost saving. This has caused many constructors to reuse the pile leftovers with new piles, but the absence of quantitative structural capacity behaviors of steel pipe pile after pile driving or appropriate countermeasures and standards in reusing steel pipe pile has resulted in wrong applications, pile structural integrity problems, inappropriate limitation of reusable pile length, etc. The structural performance analysis between a new pile and a pile that has undergone working state and ultimate state stress level during pile driving was performed in this research by means of comparing the results between the dynamic pile load test, tensile load test, charpy energy test and fatigue test for high strength steel of $440N/mm^2$ yield strength. Test results show that under working load conditions the yield strength variation is less than 2% and for ultimate load conditions the variation is less than 5% for maximum total blow count of 3000. The results have been statistically analyzed to check the sensitivity of each factors involved. From the test results, reusability of steel pipe pile lies not in the main pipe yield strength deviation but in the reduction of absorb energy, strength changes and quality control at the welded section, shape deformation and local buckling during pile driving.

This paper presents the analysis of plugging effect especially when the large diameter steel pipe pile was installed by considering driveability (BPM, blow per meter). The Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) technique was used to simulate the driving of open-ended piles into soil. To consider the driveability, the applied driving energy for each pile was obtained from the analysis results by using the wave equation. The parametric studies were performed for different pile diameters, penetration depths of pile, soil elastic modulus and BPM. It was found that the SPI is almost constant with increasing both the pile diameter and the required driving energy. It is also found that the plugging effect increases with increasing the pile length, resulting in the increase of lateral earth pressure. Based on this study the apparent magnitude and distribution of the lateral earth pressure is proposed for inside portion mobilizing soil plug.
