To investigate the critical buckling load and post-buckling behavior of an axially loaded pile entirely embedded in soil, the non-linear large deflection differential equation for a pinned pile, based on the Winkler-model and the discretionary distribution function of the foundation coefficient along pile shaft, was established by energy method. Assuming that the deflection function was a power series of some perturbation parameter according to the boundary condition and load in the pile, the non-linear large deflection differential equation was transformed to a series of linear differential equations by using perturbation approach. By taking the perturbation parameter at middle deflection, the higher-order asymptotic solution of load-deflection was then found. Effect of ratios of soil depth to pile length, and ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness on the critical buckling load and performance of piles (entirely embedded and partially embedded) after flexural buckling were analyzed. Results show that the buckling load capacity increases as the ratios of pile stiffness to soil stiffness increasing. The pile performance will be more stable when ratios of soil depth to pile length, and soil stiffness to pile stiffness decrease.

Cantilever sheet pile walls are subjected to surcharge loading located on the backfill soil and at different distances from the top of the wall. The response of cantilever sheet pile walls to surcharge loadings at varying distances under seismic conditions is scarce in literature. In the present study, the influence of uniform surcharge load on cantilever sheet pile wall at varying distances from the top of the wall under seismic conditions are analyzed using finite difference based computer program. The results of the numerical analysis are presented in non-dimensional form like variation of bending moment and horizontal earth pressure along the depth of the sheet pile walls. The numerical analysis has been conducted at different magnitudes of horizontal seismic acceleration coefficient and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients by varying the magnitude and position of uniform surcharge from the top of the wall for different embedded depths and types of soil. The parametric study is conducted with different embedded depth of sheet pile walls, magnitude of surcharge on the top of the wall and at a distance from the top of the wall for different angles of internal friction. It is observed that the maximum bending moment increases and more mobilization of earth pressure takes place with increase in horizontal seismic acceleration coefficients, magnitude of uniform surcharge, embedded depth and decrease in the distance of surcharge from the top of the wall in loose sand.

Cantilever sheet pile walls having section thinner than masonry walls are generally adopted to retain moderate height of excavation. In practice, a surcharge in the form of strip load of finite width is generally present on the backfill. So, in the present study, influence of strip load on cantilever sheet pile walls is analyzed by varying the width of the strip load and distance from the cantilever sheet pile walls using finite difference based computer program in cohesionless soil modelled as Mohr-Coulomb model. The results of bending moment, earth pressure, deflection and settlement are presented in non-dimensional terms. A parametric study has been conducted for different friction angle of soil, embedded depth of sheet pile walls, different magnitudes and width of the strip load acting on the ground surface and at a depth below ground level. The result of present study is also validated with the available literature. From the results presented in this study, it can be inferred that optimum behavior of cantilever sheet pile walls is observed for strip load having width 2 m to 3 m on the ground surface. Further as the depth of strip load below the ground surface increases below the ground level to 0.75 times excavation height, the bending moment, settlement, net earth pressure and deflection decreases and then remains constant.

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.

The embedded suction anchor(ESA) is and anchor that is driven by a suction pile. The cross-sectional shape of the ESA anchor is circle. Its diameter is the same as that of the suction pile that is used to drive it into the seafloor. For the installation, the anchor is attached to the tip of the suction pile and then driven as a unit with the pile by and applied suction pressure. Once the ESA anchor reaches the desired depth, the pile is retrieved by applying a positive pressure. Finally, only the ESA anchor remains in the soil layer. This paper presents the results of centrifuge model tests to investigate ESA pullout capacity. The main parameters that have effects on the pullout capacity of ESA may include g-level, embedded depth, direction of loading, and loading point. The results of tests show that the pullout loading capacities increase as the loading point shift toward the tip of the anchors for a given loading direction. They also indicate that the loading point associated with the maximum pullout loading capacity is located at approximately 67 percent of the anchor length from the top for the horizontal load.

This study investigates the uplift capacity of a single vertical belled pile buried at shallow depth in dry sand. The laboratory model experiments are conducted with different pile-tip angles and relative densities. In addition, image and FEM analyses are performed to observe the failure surface of the belled pile for different pile-tip angles and relative densities. Accordingly, the uplift capacity and failure angle in the failure surface of the belled pile were found to depend on the belled pile-tip angle and relative density. A predictive model for the uplift capacity of the belled pile was proposed considering the relative density and belled pile-tip angle based on a previous limit equilibrium equation. To validate the applicability of the proposed model, the values calculated using the proposed and previous models were compared to those obtained through a laboratory model experiment. The proposed model had the best agreement with the laboratory model experiment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the settlement characteristics of large drilled shafts embedded into bed rocks. To perform this research, 35 pile load test results for the large drilled shafts are used, because these deep foundations generally used as substructure systems for grand bridges. In case of the yield load can not be easily determined by load(P)-settlement(S) curve from the pile load test at the maximum loads, the standard settlements which can determine a yield load is established. The residual settlement equation of pile embedded in gneiss and igneous rocks is presented in this study. Also a equation is proposed to characterize the relationship between loads and elastic settlements in pile load tests on the large drilled shaft embedded into bedrock. Then, large drilled shaft's settlement characteristics are examined on pile length, pile diameter and pile's socked depth into rock at the pile tip.

말뚝두부와 기초판의 연결방법으로서 기존의 강선남김방식은 시공성이 좋지 않고, 말뚝두부에 파손 및 균열이 발생할 가능성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 현장 인명사고가 자주 발생하여 최근에는 대안적인 방법으로서 원커팅에 의한 철근보강 방식이 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법들은 역학적인 성능규명에 의하여 그 상세가 구체적으로 제안 또는 검증된 사례가 없다. 이 연구는 원커팅 철근보강 방식에 있어서 최적 보강상세를 제안 할 목적으로 후 타설된 말뚝 내 속채움 콘크리트와 말뚝간의 전단마찰 저항력의 부족으로 인한 파괴를 실험을 통하여 규명하고, 적정 채움 깊이를 제안하였다. 실험결과에 근거하여 말뚝 부착파괴 강도를 안전측의 값으로 0.4MPa를 가정한다면, 부착파괴 이전에 철근이 항복에 도달하도록 하기 위해서 속채움 콘크리트의 깊이는 최소한 PHC 450과 PHC 500의 경우 600mm 이상, PHC 600의 경우 1,000mm 이상 확보하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 차수가 요구되는 현장에 Sheet Pile을 적용하려고 하나 풍화암 등의 지반조건으로 인해 항타관입성의 제한이 있을 때 H-Pile로 보강된 Sheet Pile 흙막이 벽체를 적용하기 위한 수치해석 연구이다. Sheet Pile을 H-Pile로 보강한 S/H 복합파일의 거동을 규명하기 위하여 Sheet Pile의 규격 2종류와 H-Pile 3종류의 부재조건 변화, Sheet Pile과 H-Pile의 설치 근입심도 변화, H-Pile의 설치간격, 굴착조건 등을 변화시킨 101개의 경우에 대해 광범위한 수치해석을 실시하였다. 수치해석 결과, Sheet Pile SP-IIIA와 H-Pile H250, Sheet Pile SP-IV와 H-Pile H350의 조합에서 두 부재가 동시에 허용응력에 도달하거나 같은 응력비를 갖는 것으로 나타나 이 기성제품 조합이 효율적임을 알 수 있었으며, S/H 복합파일의 강성이 증가할수록 벽체의 수평변위가 감소하였고 S/H 복합파일 중 Sheet Pile의 근입심도가 안정성에 미치는 영향은 작은 것으로 나타나 Sheet Pile은 지지층 내 관입이 가능한 위치까지만 설치하여도 차수 및 벽체강성 증가의 목적을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 1-2W형 플라스틱피복 파이프 온실의 내풍성을 증대시키기 위하여 형상 및 직경이 서로 다른 말뚝에 대하여 인발저항력을 검토하였다. 그 결과 민말뚝의 경우, 인발하중이 증가함에 따라 인발저항력은 증가하지만, 대부분의 경우 인발변위가 발생한 직후의 하중단계에서 극한인발저항력에 도달하였다. 그러나 주름말뚝의 경우는 인발변위가 발생한 이후에도 실험을 종료할 때까지 인발저항력의 증감이 반복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 기초의 형상, 직경 및 매입깊이에 따라 극한인발저항력은 다르지만, 본 실험의 경우 직경과 매입깊이에 관계없이 극한인발저항력은 주름말뚝이 민말뚝보다 약 2배 정도 크게 나타났다. 단위면적당 극한인발저항력은 매입깊이가 깊어질수록 증가하지만, 직경이 커지면 감소하였다. 실험 대상지역의 설계풍속(26.9m.s$^{-1}$)을 고려하면, 민말뚝은 매입깊이에 관계없이 기초의 인발저항력이 부족하였고, 주름말뚝의 경우은 대부분의 실험조건에서 충분한 것으로 나타났다.
