연약지반에 시공되는 송전철탑의 경우 말뚝기초가 주로 사용되나, 부등침하로 인한 철탑구조물의 손상이 유발될 수 있으며, 이에 따라 미국과 일본에서는 4각의 기초를 연결보로 연결한 연결형 기초의 사용을 추천하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 송전철탑에 작용하는 하중조건과 연결보의 강성조건이 연결형 말뚝기초의 수평거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 1/8 규모의 축소모델을 이용한 연결형 말뚝기초의 수평재하시험을 수행하였다. 본 시험결과 연결형 기초는 말뚝기초에 비하여 지지력이 크고 부등변위등의 송전철탑의 안전성을 저해하는 요인에 저항하는 효율적인 기초 형식인 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 연결보의 상대강성에 따른 효과를 분석한 결과 연결보의 강성이 매트의 강성대비 25%에서 연결형 기초의 형식으로 사용의 효율성이 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

연약지반에 건설되는 송전철탑 말뚝기초는 부등침하로 인한 철탑구조체의 손상을 유발 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 일본과 미국에서는 철탑을 지지하는 각 기초부를 연결보로 연결한 연결형기초의 사용을 추천하고 있다(TEPCO 1988, IEEE 2001). 연결형 말뚝기초의 저항력증가계수는 연결체의 영향으로 인하여 증가되는 연결형 말뚝기초의 저항력의 증가량을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 점토지반에 근입된 송전철탑 연결형말뚝 기초의 모형수평재하시험을 수행하여 연결형 말뚝기초의 저항력증가계수를 도출하였다. 본 시험은 실트질 점토지반에서 수행되었으며, 수평하중의 재하높이와 재하각도, 말뚝기초를 연결하는 연결체의 강성을 변화시켜 다양한 조건상에서의 저항력 증가계수를 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 저항력 증가계수는 송전철탑의 하중작용높이와 기초를 연결하는 연결체의 강성에 대한 함수로 나타났으며, 도출된 증가계수를 통하여 연결형 말뚝기초의 저항력을 산정한 결과 측정결과와 비교적 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

부등침하는 연약지반에 시공되는 철탑기초에 있어서 주요한 손상을 야기한다. 송전철탑용 연결형 말뚝기초는 연약지반에서의 송전철탑기초의 부등침하를 방지하기 위한 구조물로서, 주기초체와 주기초체 사이에 위치하여 기초를 연결하는 연결보로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 송전용 철탑기초에 작용하는 연결보의 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 전라북도에 위치한 건설현장에서 24회의 모형재하시험을 수행하였다. 시험에서는 다양한 하중조건과 연결보 조건이 고려되었으며, 시험결과 수평하중에 의한 연결형 말뚝기초의 발생변위가 철탑에 작용하는 수평하중의 각도에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 연결형 기초의 침하는 연결보의 강성이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 수평지지력은 수평하중이 재하되는 철탑의 높이가 낮을수록 증가하였고, 파괴시점에서의 하중의 크기는 대부분의 경우 하중재하방향에 상관없이 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a numerical study of pile force distribution in a pile group foundation subjected to vertical load and large moment. The physical modeling of a pile foundation for a wind turbine is analyzed using 3D finite element software, PLAXIS 3D. The soil profile consists of several clay layers, which are modeled as Mohr-Coulomb material in an undrained condition. The piles in the pile group foundation are modeled as special elements called embedded pile elements. To model the problem of a pile group foundation, a small gap is created between the pile cap and underlying soil. The pile cap is modeled as a rigid plate element connected to each pile by a hinge. As a result, applied vertical load and large moment are transferred only to piles without any load sharing to underlying soil. Results of the study focus on pile load distribution for the square shape of a pile group foundation. Mathematical expression is proposed to describe pile force distribution for the cases of vertical load and large moment and purely vertical load.

Tunnel construction activity, conducted mainly in mountains and within urban centres, causes soil settlement, thus requiring the relevant management of slopes and structures as well as evaluations of risk and stability. Accordingly, in this study we performed a three-dimensional finite element analysis to examine the behaviour of piles and pile cap stability when a tunnel passes near the bottom of the foundation of a pile group connected by a pile cap. We examined the results via numerical analysis considering different conditions for reinforcement of the ground between the tunnel and the pile foundation. The numerical analysis assessed the angular distortion of the pile cap, pile settlement, axial force, shear stress, relative displacement, and volume loss due to tunnel excavation, and pile cap stability was evaluated based on Son and Cording's evaluation criterion for damage to adjacent structures. The pile located closest to the tunnel under the condition of no ground reinforcement exhibited pile head settlement approximately 70% greater than that of the pile located farthest from the tunnel under the condition of greatest ground reinforcement. Additionally, pile head settlement was greatest when the largest volume loss occurred, being approximately 18% greater than pile head settlement under the condition having the smallest volume loss. This paper closely examines the main factors influencing the behaviour of a pile group connected by a pile cap for three ground reinforcement conditions and presents an evaluation of pile cap stability.

Application the pile group foundation to reduce overall settlement of the foundation and also avoid a very fruitful settlement of foundations, inconsistent was carried out. In such a case, in event that the Foundation, not as a mere pile group, which as a system consisting of a broad foundation with pile Group, economic design criteria will be provided in spite of high safety. A new approach in the design of the Foundation can be introduced as the piles are just a tool to improve the parameters of soil hardness; that it can work with detachable piles from raft. Centralized arrangement of piles as the most optimal layout of piles in reducing inconsistent settlement, which is the lowest value of resulting layout in this differential settlement. Using the combination of piles connected and disconnected to form the raft, bending moment created in the raft is reduced. It also concentrated arrangements have greatest effect in reducing amount of moment applied to the raft.

To overcome the weakness of spread foundation in large space structure, the research of precast pile for replace spread foundation have been conducted. The new type of joint between PHC pile and steel column is named HAT Joint(Hollow hAlf-sphere cast-sTeel Joint). It connected PHC Pile by bolt that verification of bolt connection should be accomplished. In this paper, pull-out test and flexural performance for HAT Joint to verifying the bolt connection is explained. As a result, the pull-out and flexural capacities of bolt were checked to use in real structure. Furthermore, the equation of pull-out strength was proposed.

This study considered the effect of scour depth on the behaviour of pile foundation of bridge structure under seismic excitation. The numerical model was composed of the superstructure, pile foundation and soil. The superstructure and pile was modeled by beam elements and soil was by spring elements. The pile head and concrete footing was considered as hinge and rigid connected situation, respectively. A toro-gap element was used to model the expansion joint of superstructure. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was carried out on the constructed model. It was acknowledged that the steel pile become to yield after the scour depth reached about 2.0m.

Soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) is one of the important issues in the seismic design for evaluating the exact behavior of the system. A seismic design of a structure can be more precise and economical, provided that the effect of SFSI is properly taken into account. In this study, a series of the dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to compare the seismic response of the single degree of freedom(SDOF) structure on the various types of the foundation. The shallow and pile foundations were made up of diverse mass and different conjunctive condition, respectively. The test specimen consisted of dry sand deposit, foundation, and SDOF structure in a centrifuge box. Several types of earthquake motions were sequentially applied to the test specimen from weak to strong intensity of them, which is known as a stage test. Results from the centrifuge tests showed that the seismic responses of the SDOF structure on the shallow foundation and disconnected pile foundation decreased by the foundation rocking. On the other hand, those on the connected pile foundation gradually increased with intensity of input motion. The allowable displacement of the foundation under the strong earthquake, the shallow and the disconnected pile foundation, have an advantage in dissipating the earthquake energy for the seismic design.
