In order to analyze the effect of the cyclic lateral loading on the response of a pile-soil system, a full-scale single steel pile was subjected to one-way cyclic loading. The test pile was driven into a bi-layered soil consisting of a normally consolidated saturated clay overlying a silty sandy layer, the site being submerged by water up to one meter above the mudline in order to reproduce the conditions of an offshore pile foundation. The aim of this paper is to present the main results of interpretation of the cyclic lateral tests in terms of pile deflections, bending moment, and cyclic P-Y curves. From these latter an absolute secant reaction modulus E_AS,N was derived and a simple calculation model of the test single pile is proposed based on this modulus. Two applications of the proposed model are carried out, one with a 2D finite element modelling, and the second with a load transfer curves-based method.

Large PHC piles with a diameter of 1,000mm or larger were recently introduced for the first time in Korea. This paper presents full-scale static and dynamic pile load tests performed on two 1,000mm PHC piles and two composite piles with steel pipe piles of the same diameter in the upper portion, installed by driving and pre-boring. The objectives of the tests include evaluating pile drivability, load-settlement relation, allowable bearing capacity, and the stability of mechanical splicing element for the composite pile(a.k.a. non-welding joint). The performance of the large diameter PHC piles were thought to be satisfactory compared to that of middle sized PHC piles with a long history of successful applications in the domestic and foreign markets.

The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the IFR. There is not at present a design criterion for open-ended piles that explicitly considers the effect of IFR on pile load capacity In order to investigate this effect, model pile load tests using a calibration chamber were conducted on instrumented open-ended piles. The results of these tests show that the IFR increases with increasing relative density and increasing horizontal stress of soils. The unit base and shaft resistances decrease with increasing IFR. Based on the results of the model pile tests, new empirical relations for base load capacity and shaft load capacity of open-ended piles are proposed. In order to check the accuracy of predictions made with the proposed equations, the equations were applied to the full-scale pile load test preformed in this study, Based on the comparisons with the pile load test results, the proposed equations appear to produce satisfactory predictions.

개단말뚝의 지지력은 관내토증분비(IFR)에 의해 정량화 될 수 있는 말뚝의 폐색정도에 큰 영향을 받는다. 그러나 대부분의 지지력 산정식들은 IFR에 따른 지지력의 변화를 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 모형말뚝시험의 결과에 근거하여 IFR을 이용한 개단말뚝의 지지력산정식을 제안하였다. 또한 자갈질 모래지반에서 각종 계측기가 부착된 실대형 개단말뚝을 이용하여 말뚝재하시험을 수행하였으며, 말뚝이 타입되는 동안 말뚝의 IFR을 연속적으로 측정하였다. 그리고 본 연구의 일부로 수행된 실대형 말뚝시험의 결과를 포함한 두 가지 경우의 말뚝재하시험 결과를 이용하여 새로 제안된 지지력산정식의 정확성을 평가하였다. 말뚝의 지지력에 대한 측정치와 예측치의 비교를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 지지력산정식은 만족스러운 예측결과를 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Engineers should be careful in the design of bonding piles into pile caps because they are weak points in the pile foundation. Therefore in this study, the mechanism of bonding piles into pile caps was explained, and the design method of the composite bonding method was proposed. And the proposed design method was verified in comparison with the result of the full scale test. Also, the characteristic for the bearing capacity and the mechanism of compressive load of bonding method were analyzed.

Incheon bridge project is to construct total 12km long bridges on the sea consist of 800m span length cable stayed bridge, approach bridge and viaduct bridge based on LRFD design specification. To design pile foundations by RCD of each bridge unit, total 4 number of preliminary full scale pile load tests with Osterberg cell method were carried out on the piles for testing. The test load was planned to more than the expected design ultimate capacity and about 29,000tons maximum load was recorded. From the interpretation of test results, design parameters are evaluated and applied to the design. Preliminary pile load test plan and detailed execution of pile load tests are introduced and summarized. The resistance factors are presented for pile design of Incheon Bridge Project in LRFD considering variation of ground conditions and number of test piles.

The utilization of buildings can be improved by extending them vertically. However, the added load of the extension might require building foundations to be underpinned; otherwise, the loads on the foundations might exceed their bearing capacity. In this study, a preloading method was presented aiming at transferring partial loads from existing piles to underpinning piles. A pneumatic-type model preloading device was developed and used to carry out centrifuge experiments to evaluate the load-displacement behavior of piles, the pile-soil interaction during preloading, and the additional loading caused by vertical extension. The results showed that the preloading devices effectively transfer load from existing piles to underpinning piles. In the additional loading test of group piles, the load-sharing ratio of a pile increased with its stiffness. The load-sharing ratio of a preloaded micropile was less than that of a non-preloaded micropile as a result of the reduction in axial stiffness caused by preloading before additional loading. Therefore, a slight reduction of the load-sharing capacity of an underpinning pile should be considered if the preloading method is applied. Further, two full scale preloading devices was developed. The devices preload underpinning piles and thereby produce reaction forces on a reaction frame to jack existing piles upward, thus transferring load from the existing piles to the underpinning piles. Specifically, screw-type and hydraulic-jack type devices were developed for the practical application of foundation underpinning during vertical extension, and their operability and load transfer effect verified via full-scale structural experiments.

풍화암에 근입된 매입말뚝의 선단지지력을 증대시키기 위해 파일 선단에 짧은 길이의 강관을 부착한 새로운 PHC파일이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 PHC파일로 시공된 매입말뚝의 선단지지력 특성을 정량적으로 파악하기 위하여 지반조건이 다른 7개 현장에 새로 개발된 매입말뚝을 시공하고 정재하 및 동재하시험을 수행하였다. 그리고 정재하 시험에서 얻어진 결과에 근거해서 새로운 PHC파일로 시공된 매입말뚝의 선단지지력을 산정하기 위한 경험식을 제안하였다. 현장에서 측정된 선단지지력과 지지력 산정식으로부터 계산된 선단지지력을 비교한 결과 기존 지지력 산정식은 새로운 PHC파일로 시공된 매입말뚝의 선단지지력을 상당히 과소평가하는 반면 제안된 경험식은 새로운 PHC파일로 시공된 매입말뚝의 선단지지력을 안전측에서 산정하는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 초고층 빌딩과 대형 교량의 사용 증가로 인하여 바렛말뚝에 대한 사용이 증가하고 있지만 바렛말뚝의 주면부 거동특성에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실물크기 시험말뚝에 대한 현장재하시험을 실시하여 표준관입시험 저항치와 바렛말뚝의 주면히중전이곡선을 산정하는 경험식을 제안하였다. 또한 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여 말뚝과 지반과의 경계면 효과를 살펴보았으며 이를 현장자료와 비교하여 평가하였다.
