Laboratory tests are conducted to investigate the performance of retaining system with different combinations of long-short piles. Numerical analysis implemented using ABAQUS are verified by comparing numerical results with measured data. By performing numerical studies, the horizontal displacement of piles, heave of excavation bottom and bending moment of pile for various pile system with different pile lengths are investigated. Results show that long piles share higher bending moments than short piles. The increase in the number of short piles leads to a slight increase in the heave at excavation bottom for long-short pile retaining system. Retaining system with different long and short pile combinations have greater effects on the horizontal displacement of pile above the excavation bottom, compared to its counterparts below excavation bottom. For a given length of long pile, the bending moment and displacement of piles increase with the decrease in length of short piles, while the increasing rate of maximum moment of retaining pile system is insignificant. Results highlight that a reliable and economical pile retaining system can be designed by optimizing the number and length of short piles, provided that the working performance of retaining structures above excavation bottom meets the design requirement in practice.

A centrifuge model study is carried out to investigate the behavior of pile subject to negative skin friction induced by pile installation, ground water drawdown and surcharge loading. A single end-bearing pile is examined as the induced negative skin friction would induce the most severe stress on the pile structural material as compared to friction piles. In addition, the behavior of the pile under simultaneous negative skin friction and dead/live loads is examined. To facilitate detailed interpretations of the test results, the model setup is extensively instrumented and involves elaborate test control schemes. To further examine the phenomenon of negative skin friction on an end-bearing pile, finite element analyses were conducted. The numerical analysis is first validated against the centrifuge test data and subsequently extended to examine the effects of pile slenderness ratio, surcharge intensity and pile-soil stiffness ratio on the degree of mobilization of negative skin friction induced on the pile. Finally experimental and numerical studies are conducted to examine the effect of applied transient live load on pile subject to negative skin friction.

In this paper, the analysis of a numerical study of pile-soil interaction subjected to axial and lateral loads is presented. An analysis of the composite pile-soil system was performed using the finite difference (FD) software LPILE. Two three dimensional, finite element (FE) models of pile-soil interaction have been developed using Abaqus/Cae and SAP2000 to study the effect of lateral loading on pile embedded in clay. A lateral displacement of 2 cm was applied to the top of the pile, which is embedded into the concrete pile cap, while maintaining a zero slope in a guided fixation. A comparison between the bending moments and lateral displacements along the depth of the pile obtained from the FD solutions and FE was performed. A parametric study was conducted to study the effect of crucial design parameters such as the soil's modulus of elasticity, radius of the soil surrounding the pile in Abaqus/Cae, and the number of springs in SAP2000. A close correlation is found between the results obtained by the FE models and the FD solution. The results indicated that increasing the amount of clay surrounding the piles reduces the induced bending moments and lateral displacements in the piles and hence increases its capacity to resist lateral loading.

본 연구에서는 특정 암반에 근입된 강관말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하기 위하여, 강관말뚝의 직경, 두께 및 길이 조건에 따른 인발, 압축 및 수평재하 시의 시험결과 예측을 위한 3차원 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 인발재하에 대한 거동특성을 분석한 결과, 동일한 말뚝길이 및 두께와 인발하중 크기를 기준으로 말뚝직경에 반비례하는 인발변위가 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 압축재하에 따른 하중-침하 관계를 통하여, 말뚝 직경에 비하여 말뚝의 두께가 하중저항에 대한 효과에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며, 수평하중 재하에 따른 수평변위 관계를 바탕으로 수평하중의 저항효과는 말뚝직경에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 강관말뚝을 이용하여 기초구조물 설계에 따른 재하시험을 위해서는 예비설계 단계에서 말뚝 조건이 거동특성에 미치는 영향을 분석할 필요가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Numerical analysis using a three dimensional finite element program(ABAQUS) is a powerful method which can evaluate the soil-pile-structure interaction under the dynamic loading and reduce the computation time significantly, but has not be widely used because modeling a soil-pile system and setting the parameter for the entire model are difficult and a three dimensional finite element program is not user friendly. However, a three dimensional finite element program is expected to be widely used because of advance in research of modeling technique and development of the modeling and visualization. In this study, ABAQUS is used to simulate the 1g shaking table model pile test, and the numerical results are compared with the 1g shaking table test results. The application about the soil stiffness and boundary condition change is estimated and then parametric study for various input acceleration amplitudes, various input frequencies, and various surcharge is carried out.

This paper conducts a complicated coupled effective stress analysis of X-section-in-place concrete (XCC) pile installation and consolidation processes using the dual-stage Eulerian-Lagrangian (DSEL) technique incorporating the modified Cam-clay model. The numerical model is verified by centrifuge data and field test results. The main objective of this study is to investigate the shape effect of XCC pile cross-section on radial total stress, excess pore pressure and time-dependent strength. The discrepancies of the penetration mechanism and set-up effects on pile shaft resistance between the XCC pile and circular pile are discussed. Particular attention is placed on the time-dependent strength around the XCC pile shaft. The results show that soil strength improved more significantly close to the flat side compared with the concave side. Additionally, the computed ultimate shaft resistance of XCC pile incorporating set-up effects is 1.45 times that of the circular pile. The present findings are likely helpful in facilitating the incorporation of set-up effects into XCC pile design practices.

This paper introduces detailed three-dimensional numerical analyses on a bored pile foundation for a high-rise building. A static load test was performed on a test pile and a numerical model of a single pile, which was calibrated by comparing it with the test result. The detailed numerical analysis was then conducted on the entire high-rise building foundation. Further study focused on soil pressures under the base slab of a piled raft foundation. Total seven cases with different pile numbers and raft-soil contact conditions were investigated. The design criteria of a foundation, especially settlement requirement were satisfied even for the cases with fewer piles under considerable soil pressure beneath the base slab. The bending moment for the structural design of the base slab was reduced by incorporating soil pressures beneath the base slab along with bored piles. Through the comparative studies, it was found that a more efficient design can be achieved by considering the soil pressure beneath the slab.

본 연구는 기존에 동적하중에 의한 군말뚝의 응력감소효과를 알아보기 위하여 동적 p-y곡선을 수립하고, 이를 통하여 동적 p-승수를 산정하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 건조 사질토 지반에서 $2{\times}2$ 군말뚝, 단말뚝 및 $5{\times}5$ 군말뚝, 단말뚝에 대해 말뚝-지반시스템 하부에 정현파를 입력, 동적 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이때 군말뚝의 경우, 말뚝의 중심간격을 말뚝 지름의 2.5배, 5.0배로 변화시켜 해석을 실시하였다. 동적 수치해석결과에 따라 단말뚝과 군말뚝의 동적 p-y 곡선을 작성 및 비교를 하여, 말뚝 중심 간격 및 군말뚝 말뚝의 열위치에 따른 말뚝의 동적 군말뚝 효과를 분석하였다. 해석 결과 동적 p-승수 값은 좌표원점을 기준으로 대칭성을 보였으며, 그 값은 $5{\times}5$ 군말뚝(말뚝간격=2.5D), 단말뚝의 경우 군말뚝의 말뚝번호 3, 말뚝번호 23에서 0.26 ~ 0.30, 말뚝번호 13에서 0.14, 말뚝번호 8, 말뚝번호 18에서 0.07 ~ 0.14로 나타났다. 이 값들은 특히 하중조건이 달라서 정적 p-승수와 차이를 보였으며, 향후 다양한 종류의 입력 동하중을 통한 동적 p-승수($P_{dm}$) 산정을 통해 토목기초 구조물의 군말뚝-지반 시스템의 동적설계나 해석에 이용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

As increasing demand on marine structures and skyscrapers, a deep shaft pile is frequently to be used for the place having weak ground strength. Because heavy horizontal force is generally applied on upper part of pile foundation used in engineering field, steel pile is highly used due to its high resistance to shear force and bending moment, and its capability to carry heavy loads. The steel pile has advantage in good constructibility, high applicability on site and easy handing, but has disadvantage in cost, more expensive than other material pile. This study is to examine the composite pile that makes economical construction possible by reducing material cost of pile; using steel and PHC pile A non welding connection method is applied to this composite pile. This study had step of comparison with the result of numerical analysis after analyzing the result of field test. Numerical analysis is the process of analyzing lateral behavior of non welding composite pile. Moreover, detailed analysis was implemented in order to evaluate joint stability. As a result of the analysis, we could interpret that the stability of the connection part is ensured as seeing the smaller internal stress than approved internal stress. Based on this study, we analyzed lateral behavior of non welding composite pile, which ensured the stability of connection part.
