본 연구에서는 Strain Wedge 해석모델을 이용하여 수평하중이 작용하는 단독말뚝의 수평저항력 산출식을 제시하였고, 이를 모형실험, 현장 실험의 결과와 기존의 문헌에서 제시된 수평저항력 산정식과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 모형 실험의 시험 결과보다 조금 작게 나타났고, 현장 재하실험 결과와는 말뚝 두부의 변위가 작을 경우 상당히 잘 일치하고 있으나, 말뚝 두부의 변위가 증가할 수록 결과 값의 차가 조금씩 발생하였다. 그리고 기존의 산출식과 비교 검토한 결과 유한차분법과 잘 일치하였다.

The coupled soil-pile-structure seismic response is recently in the spotlight of researchers because of its extensive applications in the different fields of engineering such as bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and buildings. In this paper, a simple analytical model is developed to evaluate the dynamic performance of seismically isolated bridges considering triple interactions of soil, piles, and bridges simultaneously. Novel expressions are proposed to present the dynamic behavior of pile groups in inhomogeneous soils with various shear modulus along with depth. Both cohesive and cohesionless soil deposits can be simulated by this analytical model with a generalized function of varied shear modulus along the soil depth belonging to an inhomogeneous stratum. The methodology is discussed in detail and validated by rigorous dynamic solution of 3D continuum modeling, and time history analysis of centrifuge tests. The proposed analytical model accuracy is guaranteed by the acceptable agreement between the experimental/numerical and analytical results. A comparison of the proposed linear model results with nonlinear centrifuge tests showed that during moderate (frequent) earthquakes the relative differences in responses of the superstructure and the pile cap can be ignored. However, during strong excitations, the response calculated in the linear time history analysis is always lower than the real conditions with the nonlinear behavior of the soil-pile-bridge system. The current simple and efficient method provides the accuracy and the least computational costs in comparison to the full three-dimensional analyses.

말뚝에 대한 수평지지력 산정방법은 대부분이 토압론과 지반을 말뚝으로부터 분리하여 고려하기 때문에 지반과 말뚝의 상호작용을 효율적으로 고려하지 못하고 있다. 최근에 말뚝기술이 보다 개선됨에 따라서 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 실제거동에 대한 규명이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 말뚝과 지반의 상호작용을 고려할 수 있는 변형률 쐐기모델을 이용하여 단일 말뚝과 무리말뚝에 대한 거동 특성을 살펴보고자 한다. 수평하중을 받는 말뚝에 대한 거동을 알아보기 위하여 축소모형실험을 우선적으로 수행하였으며, 실제 규모의 말뚝조건에 대해서는 변형률 쐐기모델을 적용하여 말뚝의 거동특성을 예측하였다. 실내모형실험 결과와 수치해석의 전반적인 거동을 살펴보기 위하여 실험결과 및 해석결과를 이용하여 비교, 분석을 수행하였다.

One of the important causes of building and infrastructure failure, such as bridges on pile foundations, is the placement of the piles in liquefiable soil that can become unstable under seismic loads. Therefore, the overarching aim of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of a soil-pile system in liquefiable soil using three-dimensional numerical FEM analysis, including soil-pile interaction. Effective parameters on concrete pile response, involving the pile diameter, pile length, soil type, and base acceleration, were considered in the framework of finite element non-linear dynamic analysis. The constitutive model of soil was considered as elasto-plastic kinematic-isotropic hardening. First, the finite element model was verified by comparing the variations on the pile response with the measured data from the centrifuge tests, and there was a strong agreement between the numerical and experimental results. Totally 64 non-linear time-history analyses were conducted, and the responses were investigated in terms of the lateral displacement of the pile, the effect of the base acceleration in the pile behavior, the bending moment distribution in the pile body, and the pore pressure. The numerical analysis results demonstrated that the relationship between the pile lateral displacement and the maximum base acceleration is non-linear. Furthermore, increasing the pile diameter results in an increase in the passive pressure of the soil. Also, piles with small and big diameters are subjected to yielding under bending and shear states, respectively. It is concluded that an effective stress-based ground response analysis should be conducted when there is a liquefaction condition in order to determine the maximum bending moment and shear force generated within the pile.

수평거동의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 일련의 연속된 모형실험을 수행하였다. 본 논문은 균질 및 비균질의 사질토 지반에서 항타 시공된 단일 강성말뚝의 수평거동에 대한 모형실험 결과들을 고찰하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 말뚝의 수평거동 특성에 대한 말뚝 시공상태(Driven & Embedded), 말뚝 근입길이에 대한 하부지반의 두께비(H/L), 그리고 지반반력 계수비의 영향에 관하여 실험 적인 연구를 수행하였다. 모형실험 결과들에 의하면, 수평거동은 비균질 지반에서 항타 에너지에 상당히 의존하고 있다. 즉, H/L=0.75의 경우 항타 에너지가 3배 증가에 의하여 매입말뚝에 대한 수평변위 감소율이 약 2.12배 정도 증가하였다. $E_{h1}/E_{h2}=5.56$인 비균질 지반에서 항타말뚝의 경우 수평변위의 감소에 대한 강성이 큰 상부층의 효과가 매입말뚝에 비하여 상당히 적게 작용하였다. 항타 진동으로 토립자의 재배열 현상으로 말뚝주변 지반 강성이 증가하고 이로 인하여 말뚝의 상대강성이 크게 증가하여 말뚝이 휨성말뚝과 비슷한 거동을 보였으며, 비균질 지반에서 항타 시공에 따른 최대 휨모멘트는 매입말뚝의 100 - 132%정도 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 $y_D/y_E\; 와\; MBM_D/MBM_E$에 대한 수평하중과 H/L의 영향들을 모형실험 결과들로부터 실험식으로 제안하였다.

Noise radiated from pile driving operation is one of major sources of community noise pollution and thus its operation method is strictly restricted by regulations. Although the drilling method is now used been commonly used in urban areas because of its activity, the benefit of low noise decreases due to high working cost. In the present work, noise characteristics of pile driving operation are carried out. Based on the study result, a low-noise pile cap for driven piles is developed in order to satisfy both the noise level restriction and the economical efficiency. Effects of pile cap are investigated by a scale model experiment, which is focused on the variation of impact force and sound pressure level. The results show a good possibility of noise reduction by an appropriately designed pile cap.

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.

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.

Preventing or reducing the damage impact of lateral soil movements on piled foundations is highly dependent on understanding the behavior of passive piles. For this reason, a detailed experimental study is carried out, aimed to examine the influence of soil density, the depth of moving layer and pile spacing on the behavior of a 2×2 free-standing pile group subjected to a uniform profile of lateral soil movement. Results from 8 model tests comprise bending moment, shear force, soil reaction and deformations measured along the pile shaft using strain gauges and others probing tools were performed. It is found that soil density and the depth of moving layer have an opposite impact regarding the ultimate response of piles. A pile group embedded in dense sand requires less soil displacement to reach the ultimate soil reaction compared to those embedded in medium and loose sands. On the other hand, the larger the moving depth, the larger amount of lateral soil movement needs to develop the pile group its ultimate deformations. Furthermore, the group factor and the effect of pile spacing were highly related to the soil-structure interaction resulted from the transferring process of forces between pile rows with the existing of the rigid pile cap.

본 연구에서는 수평력을 받는 캡과 연결된 무리말뚝의 거동을 파악하고 상호작용계수(p-multiplier)를 산정하기 위하여 $1{\times}3$ 말뚝에 대하여 말뚝간격(s)을 3D, 4D, 5D로 변화시키면서 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이때 모델링은 해석시간을 줄이기 위하여 대칭경계조건을 사용하였고 콘크리트 말뚝은 탄성모델을 적용하였으며 흙의 경우는 Druker-Prager 모델을 이용하였다. 화강풍화토에서 수평력을 받는 무리말뚝의 수치해석결과를 이용하여 말뚝간격에 따른 수평저항력을 외말뚝의 해석결과와 비교 분석하여 p-y 곡선을 구하였고, 이를 이용하여 수평력을 받는 무리말뚝의 각 열에 대해 상호작용계수를 산정하였다. 그 결과 말뚝간격이 증가함에 따라 상호작용계수 값도 증가하였으나 그림자효과에 의해 1.0보다 작은 값으로 나타났다.
