The load transfer depth of a ground anchor is the minimum length required to transfer the initial prestressing to the grout column through the bonded part. A thorough understanding of the mechanism of load transfer as well as accurate prediction of the load transfer depth are essential for designing an anchorage that has an adequate factor of safety and satisfies implicit economic criteria. In the current research, experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the load transfer mechanism of ground anchors based on a series of laboratory and field load tests. Optical FBG sensors embedded in the central king cable of a seven-wire strand were successfully employed to monitor the changes in tensile force and its distribution along the tendons. Moreover, results from laboratory and in-situ pullout tests were compared with those from equivalent case studies simulated using the finite difference method in the FLAC 3D program. All the results obtained from the two proposed methods were remarkably consistent with respect to the load increments. They were similar not only in trend but also in magnitude and showed more consistency at higher pullout loading stages, especially the final loading stage. Furthermore, the estimated load transfer depth demonstrated a pronounced dependency on the surrounding ground condition, being shorter in hard ground conditions and longer in weaker ones. Finally, considering the safety factor and cost-effective design, the required bonded length of a ground anchor was formulated in terms of the load transfer depth.

This work investigates the transient cooling characteristics of an Infrared (IR) detector cryochamber, which has a critical effect on the cooling load. The current thermal modeling considers the conduction heat transfer through a cold well. the gaseous conduction due to outgassing. and the radiation heat transfer. The transient cooling Performance. i.e. the penetration depth and cooling load, is determined using a finite difference method. It is found that the penetration depth increases as the bore conductivity increases. Gaseous conduction and radiation hardly affect the penetration depth. The transient cooling load increases as the bore conductivity increases. The effects of gaseous conduction and radiation on transient heat transfer are weak at initial stages of cooling. However, their effects become significant as the cooling Process Proceeds.

본 논문에서는 지반의 상대다짐도(RC)와 매입말뚝의 근입비에 따른 하중-침하 거동을 연구하기 위하여 모형실험과 하중전이 함수를 이용한 해석을 수행하였다. 모형시험에서 말뚝은 근입비(L/D)를 15, 20, 25로 설치하였고, 지반의 상대다짐도를 85%, 95%로 각각 조성하였으며 말뚝주면은 시멘트를 주입하였다. 본 논문은 매입말뚝의 해석을 위하여 Vijayvergia의 하중전이 모델, Castelli 모델, Gwizdala의 탄소성-완전소성 모델, coyle의 제안식 등을 사용하여 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 매입말뚝의 하중-침하 거동을 예측하는데 가장 적합한 하중전이 방법을 제안하였다. 하중전이 함수에 의한 지지력 예측 결과 매입말뚝의 극한 지지력은 Coyle의 제안식이 실측값에 가장 근접한 것으로 나타났으며, 초기 하중-침하 거동은 Castelli에 의한 함수가 가장 유사하게 하중-침하 거동을 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 매입말뚝의 축하중 해석결과 하중전이법에 의해 평가된 주면마찰력이 실측값보다 과소평가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

The room temperature and air conditioning load in the underground space have been investigated numerically by the unsteady heat conduction equation. The model room has 3 m in height and 10 m in width, and it's position in the underground depth are 0.5 m to 5 m. When the room was located around surface, the room temperatures were strongly influenced by the atmosphere. But the underground depth is more than 2 m, the yearly temperature amplitude was small and the temperature phase was delayed. Up to 5 m of the depth, the cooling and heating load was decreased rapidly, but over 10 m of the depth, the air conditioning load was constant.

A specially designed tendon, which is proposed by embedding an FBG sensor into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied to monitor the prestress force and load transfer of ground anchor. A series of tensile tests and a model pullout test were performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed smart tendon as a measuring sensor of tension force and load transfer along the tendon. The smart tendon has proven to be very effective for monitoring prestress force and load transfer by measuring the strain change of the tendon at the free part and the fixed part of ground anchor, respectively. Two 11.5 m long proto-type ground anchors were made simply by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon and prestress forces of each anchor were monitored during the loading-unloading step using both FBG sensor embedded in the smart tendon and the conventional load cell. By comparing the prestress forces measured by the smart tendon and load cell, it was found that the prestress force monitored from the FBG sensor located at the free part is comparable to that measured from the conventional load cell. Furthermore, the load transfer of prestressing force at the tendon-grout interface was clearly measured from the FBGs distributed along the fixed part. From these pullout tests, the proposed smart tendon is not only expected to be an alternative monitoring tool for measuring prestress force from the introducing stage to the long-term period for health monitoring of the ground anchor but also can be used to improve design practice through determining the economic fixed length by practically measuring the load transfer depth.

얕은 터널에 대한 연구는 종방향 하중전이와 수평지반에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었으며 사면 하부에 위치한 얕은 터널 주변지반의 거동연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사면 하부에 위치한 터널의 종방향 굴진에 따른 터널 주변지반의 거동을 규명하기 위해 변위제어방식으로 모형시험을 실시하였다. 모형터널은 폭 320mm, 높이 210mm, 길이 55mm 규격의 강성이 큰 알루미늄 강체로 제작하였고, 모형지반은 3가지 규격의 탄소봉을 혼합하여 균질한 모형지반을 조성하였다. 모형시험은 사면 경사와 토피고를 변수로 측벽변형을 발생시키는 변위제어방식으로 실시하였으며, 터널 벽체의 하중변화, 터널 주변지반의 하중전이와 지표침하 변화를 측정하고 분석하였다. 지표침하의 변화는 경사가 증가할수록 수평지반보다 20~39%의 증가가 나타났다. 터널 천단부 및 측벽부의 하중 변화는 사면 경사가 증가할수록 천단부는 최대 20%가 증가하고, 측벽부는 사면 경사의 영향으로 하중비가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 연직하중은 토피고가 1.0D 이하에서는 최대 128%의 하중증가가 나타났지만, 토피고가 1.5D 이상에서는 수평지반과 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이것으로 사면 경사는 토피고 1.0D에서 가장 큰 영향이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, the behaviors of a cast-in-situ concrete pile embedded in the weathered rock were analysed by a 3D numerical analysis using PENTAGON 3D and the results were compared with those of the field load test. The load-settlement relation and the load transfer relationship were evaluated from the numerical analysis. As a result, the load-settlement relation at the pile top and the axial load distribution with depth were predicted reasonably. And those results were similar with those of the field load test.

축하중 재하시 실제 강관말뚝의 거동을 API 하중전이 곡선을 이용한 유한차분해석과 FLAC 프로그램을 이용한 수치해석으로 분석하였다. 실험적으로 계측한 말뚝두부의 하중-변위 관계와 깊이에 따른 축하중 분포를 적합하게 예측할 수 있었다. 특히, FLAC 프로그램 해석결과에서는 하중 제거시 매립층에서 응력 경로가 파괴 포락선 상에서 발생하여 비선형적인 하중-변위 관계를 매우 유터사하게 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 FLAC 프로그램 해석결과 및 API 규준에 따른 하중전이 관계를 실험결과와 비교하여, 말뚝-지반간 전이거동을 분석하였다. 사례연구를 통하여 API 하중전이관계를 이용한 유한차분해석이나 FLAC 프로그램을 이용한 수치해석으로 축하중 재하 말뚝의 공학적인 거동을 합리적으로 평가할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

FBG Sensor, which is smaller than strain gauge and has better durability and does not have a noise from electromagnetic waves, was adapted to develope a smart anchor. A series of pullout tests were performed to verify the feasibility of smart anchor and find out the load transfer mechanism around the steel wire fixed to rock with grout. Distribution of shear stresses at steel wire-grout interface is assessed from the measured strain distribution by the optical fiber sensors and compared with stress distributions predicted by Farmer's and Aydan's formulas. It was found that present theoretical formulas may underestimate the failure depth and magnitude of shear stresses when the pullout loads increase.

This paper presents the analysis result of load-transfer mechanism and pile movements associated with the development of frictional resistance to understand the engineering characteristics of micropile behavior. An field load tests were performed for two different types of micropiles and they are (i) thread bar reinforcement with D=50mm and (ii) hollow steel pipe reinforcement with $D_{out}$=82.5mm and $D_{in}$=60.5mm and wrapped with woven geotextile for post-grouting. The load test results indicated that micropiling with pressured grouting provided better load-transfer characteristics than micropiling with gravity grouting under both compressive and tensile loading conditions in that unit skin frictional resistance is well distributed along installation depth. The unit weight and unconfined compressive strength of cured grout were obtained for each piling method. The strength and unit weight of micropile with pressured grouting was higher than those with gravity grouting. The fact that load bearing quality with pressured grouting is better than that of gravity grouting could be attributed to the dense mutual adhesion between surrounding ground and pile due to pressurized grouting method and better grout quality.
