This study investigates the behavior of group of tapered and cylindrical piles. The bearing capacities of groups of tapered and cylindrical piles are computed and compared. Modeling of group of piles in this study is conducted in sand using three-dimensional finite element software. For this purpose, total bearing capacity of each group is firstly calculated using the load-displacement curve under specific load and common techniques. Then, the model of group of piles is reloaded under this calculated capacity to find group settlements, stress states on the lateral surfaces of group block, efficiency of group and etc. In order to calculate the efficiency of each group, single tapered and cylindrical piles are modeled separately. Comparison for both tapered and cylindrical group of piles with same volume is conducted and a relation to predict tapered pile group efficiency is developed. A parametric study is also performed by changing parameters such as tapered angle, angle of internal friction of sand, dilatancy angle of soil and coefficient of lateral earth pressure to find their influences on single pile and pile group behavior.

Lightweight concrete (LWC) provides an attractive alternative to conventional piles by improving the durability of deep foundations. In this paper, the drivability of cylindrical and tapered piles made of lightweight and common concrete (CC) under hammer impacts was investigated by performing field tests and numerical analysis. The different concrete mixtures were considered to compare the mechanical properties of light aggregate which replaced instead of the natural aggregate. Driving tests were also conducted on different piles to determine how the pile material and geometric configurations affect driving performance. The results indicated that the tapering shape has an appropriate effect on the drivability of piles and although lower driving stresses are induced in the LWC tapered pile, their final penetration rate was more than that of CC cylindrical pile under hammer impact. Also by analyzing wave propagation in the different rods, it was concluded that the LWC piles with greater velocity than others had better performance in pile driving phenomena. Furthermore, LWC piles can be driven more easily into the ground than cylindrical concrete piles sometimes up to 50% lower hammer impacts and results in important energy saving.

헬리컬 파일은 한 개 이상의 나선형 원판을 중공형 강재 축에 부착한 후 지반에 회전 관입시켜 지지력을 발현하게 하는 말뚝기초의 한 종류로서 별도로 천공작업 및 그라우팅을 필요로 하지 않고, 시공의 편의성과 말뚝 항타 등에 의한 소음이 없다는 장점이 있어 그 이용이 점차 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 Cylindrical shear method로 산정된 헬리컬 파일의 요구 지지력을 최소의 자재비용과 최적의 헬리컬 파일의 형상으로 발현할 수 있도록 하모니서치 알고리즘(Harmony search algorithm)을 적용하여 최적화된 설계법을 제안 하였다. 또한 헬리컬 파일의 최적 설계 결과를 2009 International building code (이하, 2009 IBC)를 참고하여 규격화시킨 설계 결과와 비교 검토하여 두 설계법의 경제성을 분석하였다. 본 논문의 재료비 최소화를 위한 헬리컬 파일 형상의 최적 설계 기법은 헬리컬 파일의 경제성을 향상하여 헬리컬 파일 시장 활성화에 기여할 수 있다.

In this paper various methods of determining of wave loads acting ofshore structures including impact load due to breaking wave are studied and corresponding model test was performed. In the theoretical approach wave load by nonbreaking wave and impact load by breaking wave is determined by Morrison's equation Goda's equation and impact wave equation, In the experimental approach wave load by nonbreaking wave acting on cylindrical pile used in offshore structures is determined by measuring the strain on a cylindrical pile and compared with theoretical calue. in the numerical approach impact load by breaking wave acting on a modeled cylindrical pile is calculated by usign ANSYS FEM program and compared with theoretical value. It is found that the experimental and numerical results are comparable to theoretical results, Thus the determination of wave load acting on offshore structures can be obtained by a proposed methods and it acceptable.

말뚝의 거동특성은 지반조건 뿐만 아니라 말뚝의 형상에 의해서도 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 비배토 테이퍼말뚝과 원통형말뚝의 연직거동과 지지력 특성을 조사하기 위해서 선단지지력과 주면마찰력을 분리해서 측정할 수 있는 모형말뚝과 가압토조를 이용해서 총 12회의 모형말뚝시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 원통형말뚝의 주면 하중은 말뚝 직경의 4%에 해당하는 침하량에서 극한치에 도달하였다. 반면 테이퍼말뚝의 주면하중은 말뚝이 침하함에 따라 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 원통형말뚝의 주면하중보다 상당히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 조밀한 지반에서는 테이퍼말뚝의 전체지지력이 원통형말뚝보다 작은 반면 상대밀도가 보통인 지반에서는 테이퍼말뚝의 전체 지지력이 원통형말뚝보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 테이퍼말뚝의 단위 극한선단지지력은 지반의 토압계수가 0.4보다 클 때 원통형말뚝보다 컸으며, 테이퍼말뚝의 단위 극한주면마찰력은 지반의 토압계수와는 무관하게 원통형말뚝보다 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a 3D numerical model was used to predict nonlinear wave forces on a cylindrical pile installed in a shallow water region. The model was based on solving the viscous and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a two-phase flow (water and air) model and the volume of fluid method for treating the free surface of water. A new application was developed based on the cut-cell method to allow easy installation of complicated obstacles (e.g., bottom geometry and cylindrical pile) in a computational domain. Free-surface elevation, water particle velocities, and inline wave forces were calculated, and the results show good agreement with experimental data obtained by the Danish Hydraulic Institute. The simulation results revealed that the proposed model can, without the use of empirical formulas (i.e., Morison equation) and additional wave analysis models, reliably predict non-linear wave forces on an offshore wind turbine foundation installed in a shallow water region.

A novel approach for predicting lateral displacement caused by pile installation in anisotropic clay is presented, on the basis of the cylindrical and spherical cavities expansion theory. The K₀-based modified Cam-clay (K₀-MCC) model is adopted for the K₀-consolidated clay and the process of pile installation is taken as the cavity expansion problem in undrained condition. The radial displacement of plastic region is obtained by combining the cavity wall boundary and the elastic-plastic (EP) boundary conditions. The predicted equations of lateral displacement during single pile and multi-pile installation are proposed, and the hydraulic fracture problem in the vicinity of the pile tip is investigated. The comparison between the lateral displacement obtained from the presented approach and the measured data from Chai et al. (2005) is carried out and shows a good agreement. It is suggested that the presented approach is a useful tool for the design of soft subsoil improvement resulting from the pile installation.

圓形斷面 部材를 갖는 해안 및 해양구조물의 설계에서 波力은 주로 正弦波의 입사를 가정한 모리슨식을 적용하여 산출하는 것이 상례이나. 구조물에 대하여 강한 卷波性 碎波가 작용할 경우에는 모리슨식에 의한 계산치보다 훨씬 큰 衝擊碎波力이 발생한다. 그러나, 충격쇄파력은 그 작용시간이 매우 짧기 때문에 구조물 설계로의 반영 여부 및 규모를 결정하기 위해서는 충격쇄파력 작용에 대한 구조물 전체의 動的擧動을 검토하여야 한다. 본 연구는 충격쇄파력의 작용에 의한 단일 연직파일의 동적변위를 해석하기 위한 수치해석기법을 수리하였으며, 파일의 제원을 달리하는 여러 예제해석을 통하여 파일의 정적변위와 동적 변위를 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 헬리컬파일의 지지력 특성 규명을 위하여 현장재하시험을 통하여 얻은 실측 지지력과 이론식에 의해 산정된 예측 지지력을 비교 분석하였다. 헬리컬파일은 중공형 축에 중공형 축보다 직경이 큰 하나 혹은 다수의 나선형 원판을 부착시킨 형상의 파일이다. 헬리컬파일은 굴삭기에 부착된 회전관입기를 사용하여 파일을 지반에 회전 관입시키기 때문에 항타와 굴착이 필요한 다른 말뚝에 비해 소음이 작고, 비교적 소형 장비로 시공이 가능하여 공간이 협소한 도심지에서도 시공이 용이하다. 최근 들어 헬리컬파일을 적용한 기초 공법의 설계와 시공이 많이 실시되고 있으나 헬리컬파일의 지지력에 관한 연구는 설계와 시공 사례에 비하여 아직 미진하다. 현장재하시험은 이음부, 헬리컬파일의 규격, 재하시험의 종류, 그라우팅 실시 여부를 변수로 총 10회 실시하였다. 이론식에 의한 말뚝의 예측 지지력은 Individual bearing method와 Cylindrical shear method을 통하여 산정하였다.

An important class of problems in the field of geotechnical engineering may be analyzed with the aid of a simple integro-differential equation. Behavior of "rigid" piles(say concrete piles), "deformable" piles(say gravel piles), pile groups, pile-raft foundations, heavily reinforced earth, flow within circular silos and down drag on cylindrical structures (for example the crusher unit of a mineral processing complex) are the type of situations that can be handled by this type of equation. The equation under consideration has the form; $$\frac{{\partial}w(r,\;z)}{{\partial}z}+f(z){\int}^z_0g({\xi})(\frac{{\partial}^2w(r,\;{\xi})}{{\partial}r^2}+\frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial}w(r,\;{\xi})}{{\partial}r})d{\xi}+h(r,\;z)=0$$ where w(r, z) is the vertical displacement of a soil particle expressed as a function of the polar cylindrical space coordinates (r, z) and the symbols f, g and h represent soil properties and the loading conditions. The merit of the analysis is its simplicity (both in concept and in application) and the ease with which it can be expressed in a computer code. In the present paper the analysis is applied to investigate the behavior of a single rigid pile to bedrock. The emphasis, however, is placed on developing the equation, the numerical techique used in its evaluation and validation of the technique, hereafter called the ID technique, against a formal program, CRISP, which uses the FEM.
