This study performed the seismic response analysis of an LNG storage tank supported by a disconnected piled raft foundation (DPRF) with a load transfer platform (LTP). For this purpose, a precise analytical model with simultaneous consideration of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) was used. The effect of the LTP characteristics (thickness, stiffness) of the DPRF system on the seismic response of the superstructure (inner and outer tanks) and piles was analyzed. The analytical results were compared with the response of the piled raft foundation (PRF) system. The following conclusions can be drawn from the numerical results: (1) The DPRF system has a smaller bending moment and axial force at the head of the pile than the PRF system, even if the thickness and stiffness of the LTP change; (2) The DPRF system has a slight stiffness of the LTP and the superstructure member force can increase with increasing thickness. This is because as the stiffness of the LTP decreases and the thickness increases, the natural frequency of the LTP becomes closer to the natural frequency of the superstructure, which may affect the response of the superstructure. Therefore, when applying the DPRF system, it is recommended that the sensitivity analysis of the seismic response to the thickness and stiffness of the LTP must be performed.

In the design of a foundation, settlement of the foundation may exceed allowable design criteria even with a competent bearing stratum. In such a case, a piled-raft foundation system may be adopted using piles as settlement reducing component. In this paper, Disconnected Piled Raft Foundation (DPRF) system, which installs disconnected piles underneath the raft and uses the piles as ground reinforcements, is studied as a cost effective design method against the classical piled-raft foundation system. To this end, large size loading tests were carried out on weathered ground changing area replacement ratio and length of piles. The results indicated that the settlement of the reinforced ground was reduced by 34~87% and the allowable bearing pressure increased by 70% on average from those of the unreinforced original ground, respectively. The correlating formula between the area replacement ratio and the load bearing ratio of piles were derived from the test results and numerical analysis. From the correlation, a design method determining the size and the quantity of the disconnected piles to enhance the bearing capacity of original ground to the desired value was proposed based on one inch settlement criteria.

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.

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.

최근 경제적이고 안전한 기초 설계를 위하여 말뚝지지 전면기초(Piled raft) 또는 말뚝보강기초(Disconnected piled raft)에 대한 설계가 관심을 모으고 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 연구가 미진한 말뚝보강기초의 거동과 그 효과를 실내 모형 시험을 대신하는 삼축압축시험을 통하여 규명하였다. 주문진 표준사와 탄소봉을 각각 지반과 말뚝으로 사용하여 삼축압축시험기에 보강 지반을 성형한 후 구속응력 상태에서 재하 시험을 실시하였다. 말뚝 보강에 따른 거동 차이를 규명하기 위하여 말뚝 개수, 말뚝 직경 및 말뚝 길이 등의 변화를 주어 하중-침하 관계를 도시하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 시험 결과 기초지반 면적에 대한 보강 말뚝 면적비를 보강률이라 정의할 때 말뚝 수평단면 보강률이 약 18%이고, 수직단면 보강률이 약 70%일 경우 침하량은 무보강시에 비하여 약 80%까지 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수평단면 보강률 및 수직단면 보강률에 따른 말뚝보강기초 지반의 변형계수 변화는 각각 직선식 E(Mpa) = 8.3p(%)+121.2와 E(Mpa) = 1.8p(%)+105.5로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 말뚝보강기초에서 소구경, 소량의 말뚝 보강으로도 비교적 큰 기초지반 침하 억제 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

유선과 무선 등 다양한 융복합 기술을 이용하고 있는 컨테이너 항만에서는 작업을 위해 항만운영정보시스템(TOS)과 하역장비(CC, TC, YT) 간의 무선통신을 통해 작업정보를 교환한다. 그러나 컨테이너항만의 야드에 컨테이너화물이 높게 장치되어 있는 경우, 무선통신이 단절되어 음영지역(작업자가 정보를 받을 수 없는 지역)이 발생하여 작업 지연 및 작업 지시 오류가 발생한다. 이 때 작업자인 야드 트랙터(YT)의 운전자가 통신 상태를 인식할 수 있어야 한다. 그래야만 통신 음영지역에서의 작업 지연 및 작업지시 오류를 방지할 수 있고, 통신 단절로 작업이 지연될 때에도 작업자가 스스로 처리할 수 있다. 즉, 야드 트랙터에 장착된 웹-패드의 기능 개발, 그리고 통신 단절 시 빠르게 통신을 회복하는 기능 등을 개발하여 업무 처리속도를 향상시키는 등의 하역작업의 효율성을 높일 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 통신 모듈의 흐름을 변경하고, 야드 트랙터의 웹-패드에 단락(끊김) 또는 통신지연에 대한 네트워크 상태를 알려주는 UI 개발 등을 통해 작업자가 작업지연 및 작업지시 오류에 능동적으로 대처하여 하역작업의 효율성을 높이는 무선통신 환경을 구축하였다.
