Steel-pipe civil structures, including steel-pipe energy piles and cast-in-place piles (CIPs), utilize steel pipes as their primary reinforcements. These steel pipes facilitate the circulation of a working fluid through their annular crosssection, enabling heat exchange with the surrounding ground formation. In this study, the cooling performance of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system that incorporated steel-pipe civil structures was investigated to assess their applicability. First of all, the thermal performance test was conducted with steel-pipe CIPs to evaluate the average heat exchange amount. Subsequently, a GSHP system was designed and implemented within an office container, considering the various types of steel-pipe civil structures. During the performance evaluation tests, parameters such as the coefficient of performance (COP) and entering water temperature (EWT) were closely monitored. The outcomes indicated an average COP of 3.74 for the GSHP system and the EWT remained relatively stable throughout the tests. Consequently, the GSPH system demonstrated its capability to consistently provide a sufficient heat source, even during periods of high cooling thermal demand, by utilzing the steel-pipe civil structures.

일반적으로 에너지파일의 열적 성능에 영향을 주는 중요한 인자로 지반의 열 물성, 열 교환기 형태, 운용방법, 파일 간 열 간섭 등이 고려될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반의 실제 조건을 반영한 수치모델을 통해 이들 인자들이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 지반의 포화 정도에 따라서 파일의 열 교환율은 최대 3배까지 차이를 보였으며, 열 저항은 최대 8.7%의 차이가 발생하였다. 또한 열 교환기 유형이 파일의 열 성능에 영향을 주며, 3U-Type이 W나 U-Type에 비해 상대적으로 높은 열 효율을 보였다. 운용방법에 있어서, 부분가동 시(8시간 가동, 16시간 휴지) 연속가동에 비해서 약 20%의 열효율을 보전할 수 있으며, 장기적인 열 축적현상을 방지하는데 유리하다. 지반의 조건에 따라 군 말뚝에 의한 열 간섭 정도가 달라지는데, 지반이 포화상태에서 건조 상태로 갈수록 군 말뚝에 의한 열 간섭효과는 감소한다. 일반적인 지반조건에서 열 교환 감소율 1%미만을 유지하는 적정 이격 거리는 U-Type에서 최대 3.2D, W-Type에서 최대 3.6D, 3U-Type에서 최대 3.7D로 산정되었다.

Geothermal heat pump system has been spotlighted as an efficient building energy system, because it has great potentials for reducing energy in building air conditioning and reducing $CO_2$ emissions. However, higher initial cost is a barrier to the promotion of its use. Energy-pile and energy-slab are known as low cost ground heat exchangers comparing with conventional ground heat exchangers, because they utilize building structures as ground heat exchangers. This paper presents the daily cooling performance of a geothermal heat pump system with energy-pile and energy-slab. The energy-piles and the energy-slabs are connected to heat pump units in parallel. The cooling capacity of the system was nearly constant due to the stability of the ground heat exchangers. The stability of the energy-pile was a little higher than that of the energy-stab as a heat sink.

A novel steel-pipe energy pile is introduced, in which the deformed rebars for main reinforcing are replaced with steel pipes in a large diameter cast-in-place energy pile. Here, the steel pipes act as not only reinforcements but also heat exchangers by circulating the working fluid through the hollow hole in the steel pipes. Under this concept, the steel-pipe energy pile can serve a role of supporting main structures and exchanging heat with surrounding mediums without installing additional heat exchange pipes. In this study, the steel-pipe energy pile was constructed in a test bed considering the material properties of steel pipes and the subsoil investigation. Then, the thermal performance test (TPT) in cooling condition was conducted in the constructed energy pile to investigate thermal performance. In addition, the thermal performance of the steel-pipe energy pile was compared with that of the conventional large diameter cast-in-place energy pile to evaluate its applicability. As a result, the steel-pipe energy pile showed 11% higher thermal performance than the conventional energy pile along with much simpler construction processes.

CPR 시험말뚝에 대해 인발재하시험을 실시하고, 하중-변위 곡선과 하중-침하량 곡선을 분석한 후 항복하중과 허용지지력을 산정하여 주면마찰력을 평가하였다. 하중-변위 곡선으로부터 분석된 CPR 시험말뚝의 결과에 의하면, CPR 시험말뚝의 직경이 큰 경우의 항복하중과 허용지지력이 작은 경우보다 약 1.4배 이상 크게 나타났다. 하중-침하량 곡선으로 부터 분석된 결과에 의하면, CPR 시험말뚝의 직경 D500의 허용지지력이 D400보다 약 1.2~2.1배 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, Fuller 분석에 의해 산정된 허용지지력은 P-S 곡선과 log P - log S 곡선에 의해 산정된 허용지지력과 큰 차이를 보여, Fuller 분석에 의한 허용지지력 산정은 적절하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다.

말뚝 상부에서 수평력 대부분을 저항한다는 매커니즘을 활용하여, 횡방향 하중이 대부분인 항만 및 해양구조물에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 새로운 말뚝 형식을 고안하였다. 이번 연구에서는 버켓 기초식 보강기법, 팽이 기초식 보강기법, 그라우팅식 보강기법 등 3가지 형태의 보강기법을 활용한 상부 확대형 횡방향 지지 증대 말뚝에 대한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 지반의 종류를 비롯하여, 각 보강 기법의 종류, 말뚝의 종류 및 길이, 지반의 심도 등 다양한 변수가 말뚝의 횡방향 지지 거동에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 해석 결과, 버켓 기초를 활용한 경우 팽이기초나 그라우팅 기법 등 전반적으로 다른 보강기법을 활용한 경우에 비해 횡방향 지지력 효율이 상대적으로 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타난다.

To investigate the critical buckling load and post-buckling behavior of an axially loaded pile entirely embedded in soil, the non-linear large deflection differential equation for a pinned pile, based on the Winkler-model and the discretionary distribution function of the foundation coefficient along pile shaft, was established by energy method. Assuming that the deflection function was a power series of some perturbation parameter according to the boundary condition and load in the pile, the non-linear large deflection differential equation was transformed to a series of linear differential equations by using perturbation approach. By taking the perturbation parameter at middle deflection, the higher-order asymptotic solution of load-deflection was then found. Effect of ratios of soil depth to pile length, and ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness on the critical buckling load and performance of piles (entirely embedded and partially embedded) after flexural buckling were analyzed. Results show that the buckling load capacity increases as the ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness increasing. The pile performance will be more stable when ratios of soil depth to pile length, and soil stiffness to pile stiffness decrease.

With an increasing demand of a renewable energy, new offshore wind turbine farms are being planned in some parts of the world. Foundation installation asks a significant cost of the total budget of offshore wind turbine (OWT) projects. Hence, a cost reduction from foundation parts is a key element when a cost-efficient designing of OWT budget. Mono-piles have been largely used, accounting about 78% of existing OWT foundations, because they are considered as a most economical alternative with a relatively shallow-water, less than 30 m of seawater depth. OWT design standards such as IEC, GL, DNV, API, and Eurocode are being developed in a form of reliability based limit state design method. In this paper, reliability analysis using the response surface method (RSM) and numerical simulation technique for an OWT mono-pile foundation were performed to investigate the sensitivities of mono-pile design parameters, and to find practical implications of RSM reliability analysis.

The ground source heat pump system is increasingly being considered as an alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems to reduce the emission of ground house gases. In this paper, A series of numerical analysis for energy piles has been performed focusing on heat transfer efficiency, performance and thermal stress. Results of numerical analyses for the W-shape type shows more efficient heat exchange transfer than the coil type. From results of the thermo-mechanical analysis, it is shown that the concentration of thermal stress occurs around the circulating pipe and the interfaces between different materials. The largest deformation caused by thermal stress is observed in the energy pile.

본 연구에서는 항타시공성(BPM, blow per meter)을 고려하여 대구경 항타강관말뚝을 시공하였을 때 발생하는 폐색효과를 분석하였다. Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL)해석 시 적용된 항타에너지는 파동방정식을 이용하여 산정하였고, CEL 대변형 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하여 말뚝 항타시공 과정을 모사하였다. 본 연구 결과, 말뚝 직경이 증가함에 따라 목표 깊이까지 소요되는 항타에너지는 증가(일정한 BPM인 경우에 해당함) 하였으며, 그 결과 soil plugging index(SPI)는 서로 유사하게 나타나지만 폐색효과는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 말뚝의 근입 깊이가 증가할수록 SPI는 서로 유사한 값을 나타냈으나 관내토에서 발생하는 수평토압이 증가하게 되어 폐색효과는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 폐색효과의 대표적 영향인자인 말뚝 직경, 말뚝 근입 깊이, 지반 탄성계수, BPM에 따른 관내토의 수평토압계수 분포 경향을 제안하였다.
