Model tests on free standing pile groups and piled footings with varying a pile spacing in two layered soils are carried out. The influence of pile cap on the behaviors of end bearing pile groups is analyzed by comparing the bearing behavior in piled footings with those in a single pile, a shallow footing(cap alone) and free standing pile groups. From the test results, it is found that the bearing characteristics of cap-soil-pile system are related with load levels and pile spacings. Before yield, the bearing resistance by cap is not fully mobilized, however, as the applied load increases, the bearing resistance of cap approaches to that of cap alone and settlement hardening occurs after yield due to the compaction caused by the contact pressure between cap and soil. By the cap-soil-pile interaction, shaft friction and point resistance of piles considerably increase with dependency of pile spacings. In two layered soil, the increasing effect of dilatancy in dense sandy soil adjacent to pile tips, increases the point resistance of pile.

A computationally efficient algorithm to analyze a group pile behavior is proposed by consideration of both soil-pile and pile-cap interactions. Using toad transfer method the nonlinear characteristics of the soil-pile interaction for a single pile is modeled by piecewise linear soil springs (p-y, t-z, and q-z curves). Beam-column method, one of the most practical approaches, is used for numerical modeling of the soil-pile system. In addition to the group effect resulting from the soil-pile-soil interaction, for a more realistic analysis it is essential to consider the effect of pile-cap interaction including geometric configuration of the piles in a group and conectivity conditions between piles and the cap. This paper mainly focuses on the pile-cap interaction and the development of a rational numerical procedure of its incorporation with the beam-column method.

In case that pile cap is in direct contact with underlying soil, the bearing mechanism for pile groups, including direct bearing effect of cap and its induced influence on pile-soil-cap interaction, should be properly considered. In this paper, the effects of pile caps on behaviors of pile groups in sandy soils were investigated by model tests, which consist of tests on 3 by 3 pile groups with/without contact on subsoil, single pile with/without contact and cap as a shallow foundation. Also, the influences of pile spacing in group piles on contact effects were investigated. The test results showed that the load carrying capacity of pile cap was large enough not to be ignored. However, the interaction effects due to contact between cap and subsoils were not revealed obviously in working load range. And in the design of pile groups, the bearing effect of pile cap when contacted with subsoils, can be reflected by simply summing up load settlement behaviors of each cap and group piles without contact.

The use of pile foundations has become more popular in recent years, as the combined action of the pile cap and the piles can increase the bearing capacity, reduce settlement, and the piles can be arranged so as to reduce differential deflection in the pile cap. Piles are relatively long, slender members that transmit foundation loads through soil strata of low bearing capacity to deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing capacity. In this study analysis of pile cap with considering different parameters like depth of the pile cap, width and breadth of the pile cap, type of piles and different types of soil which affect the behaviour of pile cap foundation is carried out by using Finite Element Software ANSYS. For understanding the settlement behaviour of pile cap foundation, parametric studies have been carried out in four types of clay by varying pile cap dimensions with two types of piles namely normal and under-reamed piles for different group of piles. Furthermore, the analysis results of settlement and stress values for the pile cap with normal and under-reamed piles are compared. From the study it can be concluded that settlement values of pile cap with under-reamed pile are less than the settlements of pile cap with normal pile. It means that the ultimate load bearing capacity of pile cap with under-reamed piles are greater than the pile cap with normal piles.

연약지반상에 제방 성토시 예상되는 연약지반의 측방유동을 적극 억지할 수 있는 성토지지말뚝공법은 말뚝두부에 캡을 설치하는 형태에 따라 크게 말뚝슬래브공법, 캡보말뚝공법 및 단독캡말뚝공법으로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 공법중 캡보말뚝공법 및 단독캡말뚝공법에서는 성토지지말뚝과 지반간의 상대적인 강성차이로 인해 성토지반 속에 지반아치가 발생하게 되고, 대부분의 성토하중은 발달된 지반아치를 통해 말뚝으로 전달된다. 두 공법에서 발생되는 지반아치의 차이는 그 형태가 캡보말뚝공법의 경우 터널의 형태와 유사하게 2차원적이고, 단독캡말뚝공법에서는 돔의 형태와 유사하게 3차원적이라는 것이다. 따라서 이 두 경우의 지반아치로 인한 성토지지말뚝의 하중분담효과에 관한 이론식을 각각 유도 제안하여 비교하였으며, 두 이론식의 타당성을 입증하기 위한 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다.

Basic problem of pile foundation is three dimensional in nature. Three dimensional finite element formulation is employed for the analysis of pile groups. Pile, pile-cap and soil are modeled using 20 node element, whereas interface between pile or pile cap and soil is modeled using 16 node surface element. A parametric study is carried out to consider the effect of pile spacing, number of piles, arrangement of pile and soil modulus on the response of pile group. Results indicate that the response of pile group is dependent on these parameters.

To analyze a bearing capacity for pile groups, a number of model tests have been done and theoretical methods studied. In the case of design of group pile bearing capacity is calculated with only pile capacity. But uncertainty of bearing capacity and behavior of foundation cap(raft) leads to conservative design ignoring bearing effects of foundation cap. In the case of considering bearing capacity of foundation cap, the simple sum of bearing capacity of foundation cap and pile groups cannot be the bearing capacity of total foundation system. Since cap-pile-soil interaction affects the behavior of pile groups. Thus, understanding cap-pile-soil interaction is very important in optimal design. In this paper, the piled raft behavior is studied through model tests of 2$\times$2, 2$\times$3, 3$\times$3 pile group. Changes of behavior of pile group foundation by touching effects of foundation cap with soil are studied. Also changes of spacing between piles. Foundation cap is made of rigid steel plate and piles are made steel pipes. From this model tests, the changes of behavior changes of pile groups by touching effects of foundation cap with soil are studied.

본 연구에서는 지반말뚝, 말뚝-말뚝캡, 그리고 말뚝-유체간의 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 교각세굴을 고려한 말뚝기초의 거동을 해석하였다. 지반-말뚝의 상호작용은 비선형 하중전이곡선(p-y, t-z, 그리고 q-z 곡선)을, 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용에서는 군말뚝의 배열과 말뚝-말뚝캡 사이의 구속조건을 고려하였다. 말뚝유체의 상호작용은 세굴에 의한 지반의 강성 저하를 고려하여 지반-말뚝의 상호작용에 포함하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 세굴심이 깊어질수록 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트의 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 세굴에 따른 군말뚝의 안정성 평가에서는 지반-말뚝 및 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용을 고려한 해석을 수행하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 말뚝캡의 강성에 따른 거동차이를 분석하였다. 따라서 강성캡과 연성캡을 선정하여 상부교각과 하부군말뚝기초를 일체화하여 일련의 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 시 캡강성에 영향을 주는 캡의 탄성계수와 두께, 상부 교각길이, 지반반력, 그리고 말뚝직경 등을 고려하였다. 본 연구결과 군말뚝내 개별말뚝에 작용하는 하중은 말뚝캡의 강성에 크게 좌우되었으며 그 결과, 연성캡 해석결과는 강성캡에 비하여 수평하중과 휨모멘트가 상대적으로 크게 발생하므로 좀 더 보수적인 설계가 가능하리라 판단된다.

The problem of laterally loaded piles is particularly a complex soil-structure interaction problem. The flexural stresses developed due to the combined action of axial load and bending moment must be evaluated in a realistic and rational manner for safe and economical design of pile foundation. The paper reports the finite element analysis of pile groups. For this purpose simplified models along the lines similar to that suggested by Desai et al. (1981) are used for idealizing various elements of the foundation system. The pile is idealized one dimensional beam element, pile cap as two dimensional plate element and the soil as independent closely spaced linearly elastic springs. The analysis takes into consideration the effect of interaction between pile cap and soil underlying it. The pile group is considered to have been embedded in cohesive soil. The parametric study is carried out to examine the effect of pile spacing, pile diameter, number of piles and arrangement of pile on the responses of pile group. The responses considered include the displacement at top of pile group and bending moment in piles. The results obtained using the simplified approach of the F.E. analysis are further compared with the results of the complete 3-D F.E. analysis published earlier and fair agreement is observed in the either result.
