The settlement, bearing capacity, axial force, and skin friction responses of pervious and impervious concrete piles in silty and sandy underlying layer foundations and of pervious concrete piles in model tests were determined. The results showed that pervious concrete piles can exhibit high strengths, provide drainage paths and thus reduce foundation consolidation time. Increasing the soil layer thickness and pile length could eliminate the bearing capacity difference of pervious piles in a foundation with a silty underlying layer. The pervious concrete piles in the sandy underlying layer were more efficacious than those in the silty underlying layer because the sandy underlying layer can provide more bearing capacity than the silty underlying layer. The results indicated that the performances of the pervious concrete piles in the sand and silt foundations differed. The pervious concrete piles functioned as floating piles in the underlying layer with a lower bearing capacity and as end-bearing piles in the underlying layer with a higher bearing capacity.

Lightweight concrete (LWC) provides an attractive alternative to conventional piles by improving the durability of deep foundations. In this paper, the drivability of cylindrical and tapered piles made of lightweight and common concrete (CC) under hammer impacts was investigated by performing field tests and numerical analysis. The different concrete mixtures were considered to compare the mechanical properties of light aggregate which replaced instead of the natural aggregate. Driving tests were also conducted on different piles to determine how the pile material and geometric configurations affect driving performance. The results indicated that the tapering shape has an appropriate effect on the drivability of piles and although lower driving stresses are induced in the LWC tapered pile, their final penetration rate was more than that of CC cylindrical pile under hammer impact. Also by analyzing wave propagation in the different rods, it was concluded that the LWC piles with greater velocity than others had better performance in pile driving phenomena. Furthermore, LWC piles can be driven more easily into the ground than cylindrical concrete piles sometimes up to 50% lower hammer impacts and results in important energy saving.

근래에 들어 구조물의 대형화에 따라 현장타설 말뚝을 하부 구조물로서 광범위하게 적용하고 있다. 그러나 현장타설 말뚝에 결함이 생기면 상부 하중에 대한 지지력 저하와 함께 침하량이 증가하게 되어 상부 구조물에 치명적인 손실을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 비파괴시험 기법에 의한 콘크리트 말뚝의 효과적인 건전도 평가기법 개발이 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통하여 콘크리트 말뚝의 건전도 평가에 이용되는 충격반향기법의 적용성을 검토하였다. 3차원 축대칭 유한요소법을 이용하여 건전한 말뚝과 현장타설 말뚝의 전형적인 결함인 병목, 공동, 불량 콘크리트를 포함하는 말뚝, 그리고 지반 및 암반위에 놓인 말뚝에 관한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 현장타설 말뚝에 적용되는 충격반향기법의 적용성 평가에 있어서 유한요소법이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Using the large diameter (D ＝ 2,500mm, L ＝ 40m) batter steel pipe piles, designed as compression piles but used as reaction piles during the static compression load test of socketed test piles (D ＝ 1,000mm, L ＝ 40m), static pile load tests for large diameter instrumented rock-socketed piles were performed. The reaction steel pipe piles were driven 20m into the marine deposit and weathered rock layer and then l0m socketed with reinforced concrete through the weathered rock layer and into hard rock layer. Steel pipe and concrete in the steel pile part, and concrete and rebars in the socketed parts were instrumented to measure strains in each part. The pullout amounts of reaction pile heads were also measured with LVDT. During the static pile load test, total compressional load of about 20MN was loaded on the head of test piles, but load above 20MN was not loaded due to lack of loading capacity of loading system. Over the course of the study, maximum pullout amount up to 7mm was measured in the heads of reaction piles when loaded op to 10MN and 1mm of pullout amount was measured. More than 85% of pullout load was transfered in the residual weathered rock layer and about 10% in the soft rock layer, which was somewhat different transfer mechanism in the static compressional load tests.

Sixty four tests were performed in a steel tank to investigate the axial responses of piles driven into organic soil prepared at two different densities using a drop hammer. Four different pile materials were used: wood, steel, smooth concrete, and rough concrete, with different length to diameter ratios. The results of the load tests showed that the shaft load capacity of rough concrete piles continuously increased with pile settlement. In contrast, the others pile types reached the ultimate shaft resistance at a settlement equal to about 10% of the pile diameter. The ratios of base to shaft capacities of the piles were found to vary with the length to diameter ratio, surface roughness, and the density of the organic soil. The ultimate unit shaft resistance of the rough concrete pile was always greater than that of other piles irrespective of soil condition and pile length. However, the ultimate base resistance of all piles was approximately close to each other.

The determination for bearing capacity of precast nodular piles is conventionally time-consuming and high-cost by using numerous experiments and empirical methods. This study proposes an intelligent method to evaluate the bearing capacity and shaft resistance of the nodular piles with high efficiency based on long short-term memory (LSTM) approach. A series of field tests are first designed to measure the axial force, shaft resistance and displacement of the combined nodular piles under different loadings, in comparison with the single pre-stressed high-strength concrete piles. The test results confirm that the combined nodular piles could provide larger ultimate bearing capacity (more than 100%) than the single pre-stressed high-strength concrete piles. Both the LSTM-based method and empirical methods are used to calculate the shift resistance of the combined nodular piles. The results show that the LSTM-based method has a high-precision estimation on shaft resistance, not only for the ultimate load but also for the working load.

The objective of this report is to investigate the effect of factors on the centrifugal compaction of concrete piles with design of experiments. The analysis of sludge and measurement of compressive strength of specimens compacted by centrifugal of vibration were performed. As a result, there were some effective factors like unit content of cement, high and middle centrifugal force and time. It was considered that the process of centrifugal compaction of concrete piles could be optimized with these results.

얇은 두께의 강관 내부에 PHC말뚝을 합성해서 기존 PHC말뚝 및 강관말뚝보다 휨강도와 전단강도가 향상된 프리스트레스를 도입한 중공형 콘크리트 충전 강관(HCFT)말뚝을 개발하였다. HCFT말뚝의 강도특성을 조사하기 위해 다양한 조건에서 제작된 HCFT말뚝과 함께 동일 직경의 PHC말뚝 및 강관말뚝에 대해 휨강도 및 전단강도시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 직경이 450~500mm인 HCFT말뚝은 동일 직경의 ICP말뚝 대비 2.88배, 두께 12mm의 강관말뚝 대비 1.19배의 휨강도를 발휘하였고, 강관말뚝의 2.40배에 달하는 전단강도를 발휘하였다. 그리고 HCFT말뚝의 강관 내벽에 설치한 전단연결재는 HCFT말뚝의 휨거동에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으며, HCFT말뚝의 휨강도는 HCFT말뚝을 구성하는 강관과 PHC말뚝에 대한 개별 휨강도 합산치보다 35~63% 컸는데 이것은 강관의 구속효과로 인해 압축영역에 있는 콘크리트의 강도가 증가하기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 HCFT말뚝이 복합말뚝에서 상부말뚝으로 사용되면 수평하중을 받는 구조물의 수평변위 저감과 구조안정성 향상에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

Most of the piles are designed as group piles. In certain geotechnical environments, the installation of group piles causes heaving of the already installed piles. The unfavorable effects of pile heaving on pile bearing capacity have been well known to field engineers. However not many engineers pay enough attention to this subject. According to our recent researches, not only the bearing capacity but also the pile material could be seriously damaged due to the installation of nearby piles, especially with the cases of precast concrete piles. When the pull-out force due to installation of neighboring piles acting on the already installed precast concrete pile exceeds the shaft friction, pile heaving occurs. At the same time, if the pull-out force exceeds the allowable tensile strength of the precast concrete pile, tensile failure is inevitable, which is critical for the pile integrity. In other cases the pile material was not damaged but serious relaxation occurred as the results of pile heaving. In this paper, the pull-out mechanism due to the installation of group piles is explained.
