본 연구에서는 수치해석을 이용한 piled raft 기초의 복합적인 거동평가를 위해 축대칭 조건 및 경계면 요소를 적용한 유한차분해석 모델링 방법이 합리적인지 검증하였다. 이를 위해 실내모형실험 결과와 수치해석 결과를 비교 분석하여 piled raft 기초의 모델링 방법의 적합성을 평가하였다. 그리고 실제 현장조건을 고려한 기초 매개변수에 대한 민감도분석을 수행하여 raft의 하중분담율을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 실내모형실험과 수치해석 결과에서 지지력-수직변위의 상관관계가 동일한 경향을 보였으며, piled raft 기초의 극한지지력과 raft의 하중분담율이 비교적 유사하게 산정되었다. 그리고 민감도분석을 통해 raft의 하중분담율은 약 33%~52% 사이에서 산정되어, 기존 연구 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다. 따라서 piled raft 기초는 축대칭 조건 및 경계면 요소를 이용하여 효과적으로 모델링될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

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.

A piled raft foundation is one of the systems used to reduce the settlement of structures. However, the general design method for a piled raft foundation system assumes that the piles only support external loads, which exclude the bearing capacity of the raft itself. In this study, an experimental model test was performed to evaluate the raft capacity for the external load on the sand. Additionally, a part of the sandy ground under the raft was replaced with a gravel mat to reinforce the piled raft foundation system and increase the bearing capacity. Then, parametric studies of the reinforced ground were performed to determine the displacement and load-sharing ratio of the piled raft foundation system.

The piled raft foundations are subjected to lateral loading under the action of wind and earthquake loads. Their bearing behavior and flexural responses under these loadings are of prime concern for researchers and practitioners. The insufficient experimental studies on piled rafts subjected to lateral loading lead to a limited understanding of this foundation system. Lateral load sharing between pile and raft in a laterally loaded piled raft is scarce in literature. In the present study, lateral load-displacement, load sharing, bending moment distribution, and raft inclinations of the piled raft foundations have been discussed through an instrumented scaled down model test in 1 g condition. The contribution of raft in a laterally loaded piled raft has been evaluated from the responses of pile group and piled raft foundations attributing a variety of influential system parameters such as pile spacing, slenderness ratio, group area ratio, and raft embedment. The study shows that the raft contributes 28-49% to the overall lateral capacity of the piled raft foundation. The results show that the front pile experiences 20-66% higher bending moments in comparison to the back pile under different conditions in the pile group and piled raft. The piles in the piled raft exhibit lower bending moments in the range of 45-50% as compared to piles in the pile group. The raft inclination in the piled raft is 30-70% less as compared to the pile group foundation. The lateral load-displacement and bending moment distribution in piles of the single pile, pile group, and piled raft has been presented to compare their bearing behavior and flexural responses subjected to lateral loading conditions. This study provides substantial technical aid for the understanding of piled rafts in onshore and offshore structures to withstand lateral loadings, such as those induced by wind and earthquake loads.

The load sharing ratio (${\alpha}_{pr}$) of piles is one of the most common problems in the preliminary design of piled raft foundations. A series of 3D numerical analysis are conducted so that special attentions are given to load sharing characteristics under varying conditions, such as pile configuration, pile diameter, pile length, raft thickness, and settlement level. Based on the 3D FE analysis, influencing factors on load sharing behavior of piled raft are investigated. As a result, it is shown that the load sharing ratio of piled raft decreases with increasing settlement level. The load sharing ratio is not only highly dependent on the system geometries of the foundation but also on the settlement level. Based on the results of parametric studies, the load sharing ratio is proposed as a function of the various influencing factors. In addition, the parametric analyses suggest that the load sharing ratios to minimize the differential settlement of piled raft are ranging from 15 to 48% for friction pile and from 15 to 54% for end-bearing pile. The recommendations can provide a basis for an optimum design that would be applicable to piled rafts taking into account the load sharing characteristics.

The general design practice for piled footings is based on the assumption that the piles are free-standing, and that all the external loads are carried by the piles, with any contribution of the footing being ignored. This approach is not reasonable, because the footing itself is actually in direct contact with the soil, and thus carries a significant fraction of the loads. In the case of not considering the bearing capacity of footing, the bearing capacity of group piles can be evaluated conservatively in the designing the group piles. There are a number of reasons why the idea of piled raft design with considering the capacity of footing has not become widely used. One of the reasons is the lack of reliable calculation methods for estimating the behavior of piled raft. In this study the bearing capacity, settlement, load distribution, etc. of piled raft footing are studied.

Piled raft foundations are usually used to reduce total and differential settlements of superstructures. In the piled raft foundations, the raft is often on its own able to provide adequate bearing capacity and only few widely spaced piles are added to the foundation to keep settlements be1ow a certain limit. In this paper, experimental studies on the load sharing ratio between piles and raft are carried out. Also, for evaluating the application of optimum design technique using a genetic algorithm, optimal locations of files are compared with the results of laboratory model tests. from tile results of laboratory model tests, there are found that the load sharing ratio between files and raft is depended on the number of piles and stiffness of raft, and the optimal locations of piles became concentrated on the middle of rafts. From these results of laboratory model tests, the optimum technique using a genetic algorithm is acknowledged to the application in the piled raft.

본 연구는 기초판의 연성률이 말뚝지지 전면기초에 미치는 영향을 해석적 연구와 수치해석으로 분석했다. 기초판의 연성률(K_R)과 선단지지 조건에 따른 말뚝과 기초판의 하중 분담률을 분석했다. 각각의 말뚝과 전체적인 응답은 3차원 유한 요소 해석법을 사용하여 분석했다. 본 연구에서 수직 하중이 증가하고 기초판의 연성률이 감소함에 따라 말뚝지지 전면기초의 하중분담비(α_pr)가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 경향은 선단지지 말뚝을 사용하는 것보다 마찰말뚝을 사용하는 경우에 더 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 또한, 연성 기초판의 경우, 하중조건에 따른 말뚝 위치별 축력 분포경향은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 강성 기초판의 경우, 하중조건에 따라 외곽에 위치한 말뚝 두부 축력이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 기초판의 침하는 연성 기초판 조건이 강성 기초판보다 더 크게 나타났으며, 이로 인해 연성 기초판 조건에서 하중분담비가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

말뚝과 raft의 하중 분담 효과를 고려한 Piled Raft 기초의 설계는, 말뚝의 지지력만을 고려하여 설계하는 기존의 말뚝기초 설계 방식에 비해 경제적인 설계를 가능하게 해준다. 일반적으로 Piled Raft 기초 거동의 해석 및 설계는, 해석의 복잡성으로 인해 주로 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치 해석을 이용하고 있으며, 하중 분담 효과에 대한 해석 또한 개별적 상황에 따른 수치해석의 결과로 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 기초 요소의 하중-침하 특성을 고려하여 Piled Raft 기초에서의 수직하중에 대한 raft와 말뚝의 하중 분담 효과를 평가할 수 있는 모델을 제안하고자 하였다. 기초의 비선형적 거동을 고려하여 말뚝과 raft의 거동을 각각 쌍곡선(hyperbolic curve) 형태의 정규화된 하중-침하 곡선(normalized load-settlement curve)으로 표현하고, 이를 통해 기초의 침하에 따른 말뚝과 raft의 하중 분담 정도를 평가할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 또한 제시한 모델의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 Piled Raft 기초에 대한 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 제시한 모델과 원심모형실험 결과로부터 나타난 침하에 따른 하중 분담률의 변화 양상이 전체적으로 유사한 형태를 보였다.

In this study, the load carrying behavior of piled rafts installed in inclined bearing rock layer was investigated for rock-mounted and -socketed conditions. It was found that settlements induced for an inclined bearing rock layer are larger than for a horizontal layer condition. The load capacity of piled rafts for the rock-mounted condition decreased as rock-layer inclination angle (${\theta}$) increased, while vice versa for the rock-socketed condition. The load capacities of raft and piles both decreased with increasing ${\theta}$ for the rock-mounted condition. When bearing rock layer was inclined, loads carried by uphill-side piles were greater than those by downhill-side piles. The values of differential settlements of rock-mounted and -socketed conditions were not significantly different whereas slightly higher for the rock-socketed condition. The values of load sharing ratio (${\alpha}_p$) and its variation with settlement were not markedly changed by the inclination of bedrock. It was shown that ${\alpha}_p$ for piled rafts installed in rock layer was not affected by ${\theta}$ whereas actual loads carried by raft and piles may vary depending on the pile installation and rock-layer inclination conditions.
