Formation of a soil plug in an open-ended pile is a very important factor in determining the pile behavior both during driving and during static loading. The degree of soil plugging can be represented by the incremental filling ratio (IFR) which is defined as the change in the plug length to the change of the pile embedment length. The experimental tests carried out in this research contain 138 tests that are divided as follows: 36 tests for single pile, 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}1$), 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}2$) and 30 pile group ($2{\times}3$). All tubular piles were tested using the poorly graded sand from the city of Karbala in Iraq. The sand was prepared at three different densities using a raining technique. Different parameters are considered such as method of installation, relative density, removal of soil plug with respect to length of plug and pile length to diameter ratio. The soil plug is removed using a new device which is manufactured to remove the soil column inside open pipe piles group installed using driving and pressing device. The principle of soil plug removal depends on suction of sand inside the pile. It was concluded that the incremental filling ratio (IFR) is changed with the changing of soil state and method of installation. For driven pipe pile group, the average IFR for piles in loose is 18% and 19.5% for L/D=12 and 15, respectively, while the average of IFR for driven piles in dense sand is 30% and 20% for L/D=12 and L/D=15 respectively. For pressed method of pile installation, the average IFR for group is zero for loose and medium sand and about 5% for dense sand. The group capacity increases with the increase of IFR. For driven pile with length of 450 mm, the average IFR % is about 30.3% in dense sand, 14% in medium and 18.3% for loose sand while when the length of pile is 300 mm, the percentage equals to 20%, 17% and 19.5%, respectively.

본 연구에서는 지반말뚝, 말뚝-말뚝캡, 그리고 말뚝-유체간의 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 교각세굴을 고려한 말뚝기초의 거동을 해석하였다. 지반-말뚝의 상호작용은 비선형 하중전이곡선(p-y, t-z, 그리고 q-z 곡선)을, 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용에서는 군말뚝의 배열과 말뚝-말뚝캡 사이의 구속조건을 고려하였다. 말뚝유체의 상호작용은 세굴에 의한 지반의 강성 저하를 고려하여 지반-말뚝의 상호작용에 포함하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 세굴심이 깊어질수록 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트의 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 세굴에 따른 군말뚝의 안정성 평가에서는 지반-말뚝 및 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용을 고려한 해석을 수행하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여 말뚝에 인접한 터널시공으로 인한 말뚝의 거동을 터널로부터 말뚝선단의 횡방향 이격거리를 고려하여 분석하였다. 단독말뚝 및 간격 2.5d인 $5{\times}5$ 군말뚝을 고려하였다. 여기서 d는 말뚝의 직경을 의미한다. 수치해석에서는 순수하게 터널굴착(tunnelling-induced) 으로 인해 유발된 말뚝침하, 전단응력, 상대변위, 축력분포, 겉보기안전율 및 터널굴착 영향권을 고찰하였다. 말뚝이 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하 영향권 내부에 존재할 경우 말뚝두부의 침하는 Greenfield 조건의 지표면 침하보다 최대 대략 111% 크게 산정되었고, 군말뚝의 경우 단독말뚝과 비교하여 말뚝침하가 크고 축력이 작게 나타났는데 이는 군말뚝내의 말뚝이 인접지반과 함께 블록(block)의 형태로 거동하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 말뚝의 상부에서는 상향의 마찰 저항력이 발생하고 말뚝의 하부에서는 하향의 마찰 저항력이 발생하여 순수하게 터널굴착(tunnelling-induced)으로 인해 말뚝에는 인장력을 발생시켰다. 한편 말뚝이 영향권 외부에 존재할 경우 말뚝에는 tunnelling-induced 압축력이 발생하였다. 수치해석을 통해 분석된 하중-침하 관계로부터 말뚝의 겉보기안전율을 계산한 결과 터널굴착 이전에 비해 대략 45% 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이는 말뚝의 사용성에 심각한 문제를 유발시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 지반침하 영향권에 따른 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동을 심도 있게 고찰하였다.

In this paper, a hybrid boundary element technique is implemented to analyze nonlinear transient pile soil interaction in Gibson type nonhomeogenous soil. Inelastic modeling of soil media is presented by introducing a rational approximation to the continuum with nonlinear interface springs along the piles. Modified $\ddot{O}$zdemir's nonlinear model is implemented and systems of equations are coupled at interfaces for piles and pile groups. Linear beam column finite elements are used to model the piles and the resulting governing equations are solved using an implicit integration scheme. By enforcing displacement equilibrium conditions at each time step, a system of equations is generated which yields the solution. A numerical example is performed to investigate the effects of nonlinearity on the pile soil interaction.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the bearing capacity, settlement and pile action of pile groups in cohesionless soil, based on a wide range of model test in laboratory. Model test were conducted with changing the variables affecting the behavior of group pile; Number of pile, Diameters, Spacings between piles and Arrangement of piles. Effects of these variables on group efficiency were investigated by analyzing test results. Test results were also compared with the existing analytical method and data obtained in-situ tests.

본 연구에서는 합천사에 매설되어 측방변형을 받는 무리말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 무리말뚝의 위치, 말뚝의 간격과 말뚝배열이 미치는 무리말뚝의 영향을 알고자 하였다. 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 무리말뚝에서는 모멘트 형상은 단독말뚝과 유사하나 최대 휨모멘트의 발생깊이가 깊어지고, 그 크기는 감소하였다. 말뚝의 중심간격이 증가할수록 최대휨모멘트비$(R_M)$와 수평력분담비$(R_F)$는 증가하였다. 지반변형에 따른 $R_M$은 열방향에서는 후열, 전열, 중간열의 순으로 크게 나타났고 줄방향에서는 내측보다 외측이보다 크게 나타났다.

This paper presents the results of static vertical load tests carried out on a model building frame supported by pile groups embedded in cohesionless soil (sand). The effect of soil interaction on displacements and rotation at the column base and also the shears and bending moments in the columns of the building frame were investigated. The experimental results have been compared with those obtained from the finite element analysis and conventional method of analysis. Soil nonlinearity in the lateral direction is characterized by the p-y curves and in the axial direction by nonlinear vertical springs along the length of the piles (${\tau}-z$ curves) at their tips (Q-z curves). The results reveal that the conventional method gives the shear force in the column by about 40-60%, the bending moment at the column top about 20-30% and at the column base about 75-100% more than those from the experimental results. The response of the frame from the experimental results is in good agreement with that obtained by the nonlinear finite element analysis.

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading continues to be a major cause of damage to deep foundations. Currently there is a huge uncertainty associated with the maximum lateral pressures and forces applied by the liquefied soil to deep foundations. Furthermore, recent centrifuge and is shaking table tests of pile foundations indicate that the permeability of the liquefied sand is an extremely important and poorly understood factor. This article presents experimental results and analysis of one of the centrifuge tests that were conducted at the 150 g-ton RPI centrifuge to investigate the effect of soil permeability in the response of single piles and pile groups to lateral spreading.

측발유동을 받는 일렬 군말뚝의 그룹효과를 파악하이 위해 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 국내의 대표적인 화강풍화토 지반에 선단지지된 말뚝을 대상으로 측방으로 지반변위 발생시 말뚝 두부조건과 중심간격(2.5D, 5.0D, 7.0D, 단독말뚝) 및 말뚝주면의 접촉효과를 고려한 군말뚝의 상호작용계수를 산정하였다. 본 연구 결과, 단독말뚝과 비교하여 군말뚝의 간격이 좁아짐에 따라 상호작용계수는 현저하게 감소하였으며 말뚝 두부조건이 회전구속, 힌지,자유단의 순으로 감소정도가 크게 나타났다. 이는 실내모형실험을 통해 산정된 상호작용계수와도 비교적 잘 일치함을 보였다.

In this study, three-dimensional numerical parametric study was conducted to explore deformation mechanisms of grouped piled-raft-foundation due to lateral load in clays. Effects of load intensity, loading angle, soil stiffness, pile diameter, pile spacing and pile length on foundation deformations were explored. It is found that the smallest and largest movements of pile foundation are induced when the loading angles are 0° and 30°~60°, respectively. By increasing loading angle from 0° to 30°~60°, the resultant horizontal movements and settlements increase by up to 20.0% and 57.1%, respectively. Since connection beams can substantially increase integrity of four piled raft foundation, resultant horizontal movements, settlements and bending moments induced in the piled raft foundation decrease by up to 54.0%, 8.8% and 46.3%, respectively. By increasing soil stiffness five times, resultant horizontal movements and settlements of pile foundation decrease by up to 61.7% and 13.0%, respectively. It is indicated that effects of connection beam and soil stiffness on settlements of pile foundation are relatively small. When pile diameter is less than 1.4 m, deformations of piled raft foundation decrease substantially as a reduction in the pile diameter. Two dimensional groups are proposed to develop calculation charts of horizontal movements and settlements of pile foundation. The proposed calculation charts can directly estimate movements of piled raft foundation under arbitrary loading, ground and pile conditions.
