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.

The permeation grouting is a commonly used technique to improve the engineering geology condition of the soft ground. It is of great significance to predict the permeation range of the grout so as to ensure the effects of grouting. This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of jet-grouting effects in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation by utilizing deformation-permeation coupled poroelastic solutions based on Biot's theory and Laplace-Fourier integral transform technique. The exponential function and the intermittent trigonometric function are chosen to represent time-dependent grouting pressure usually encountered in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation process, respectively. The results, including the radial displacement, the hoop stress, the excess pore fluid pressure, the radial discharge, and the permeation radius of grout, are presented for different grouting time, radial positions and grouting lengths. Parametric study is conducted to explore the effects of variation of the exponent in the exponential grouting pressure-time relationship on grouting-induced responses. It is expected that the proposed solutions can be used to estimate the permeation range of grouting in ground improvement and rotary grouting pile installation.

The bending moment and settlement of the slab track can be reduced by the installation of small numbers of micro piles beneath the track. This paper presents the effect of micro pile installation on the reduction of bending moment and settlement of slab track, estimated by a numerical method. The slab track is modeled as a plate based on the Mindlin's plate theory, and soil and piles are modeled as Winkler and coupled springs, respectively. The stiffness of piles is obtained by the approximate analytical method proposed by Randolph and Wroth. and the modulus of subgrade reaction is adopted to evaluate Winkler spring constant. From the analysis results, the effect of the micro pile installation is significant to considerably reduce the settlement of slab track. However, for the proper reduction of bending moments in a slab track, the pile arrangement should be reasonably taken into account to prevent the stress concentration at pile location.

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.

최근 사용이 증대되고 있는 말뚝지지 전면기초(piled raft foundation) 개념의 기초 설계에서는 지지력을 증대시키기 위한 목적 보다는 주로 침하를 감소시킬 목적으로 말뚝이 사용된다. 콘크리트궤도가 연약한 지반에 설치되는 경우에는 일반적으로 지지력 측면에서의 문제는 없으나, 과도한 침하가 발생할 수 있다. 이 경우 소수의 소구경 말뚝을 궤도하부에 적절히 배치하여 설치하면 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서는 말뚝 설치로 인한 콘크리트궤도의 침하감소 효과를 수치해석을 통해 평가하였다. 3차원 유한차분해석법을 이용하여 말뚝이 설치된 콘크리트궤도를 모델링 하였으며, 지반 강성과 말뚝 배치의 변화에 따른 침하량 감소 효과의 차이를 분석하였다. 해석 결과로 부터 말뚝설치를 통해 콘크리트궤도의 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 경제적인 설계를 위한 지반조건에 따른 합리적인 말뚝 열수와 간격을 제시하였다. 또한, 지반 조건과 말뚝 배치의 변화에 따른 말뚝의 하중분담 특성을 분석함으로써, 콘크리트궤도 하부에 설치된 말뚝의 지지 메커니즘을 파악하였다.

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.

Penetration problems in geomechanics are common. Usually the soil is heavily disturbed around the penetrating bodies and large deformations and distortions can occur. The simulation of the installation of displacement piles is a good example of the interest of these types of problems for geomechanics. In this paper the Material Point Method is used to overcome the difficulties associated with the simulations of problems involving large deformation and full displacement type penetration. Recent modifications of the Material Point Method known as Generalized Interpolation Material Point and the Convected Particle Domain Interpolation are also used and evaluated in some of the examples. Herein a footing submitted to large settlements is presented and simulated, together with the processes associated to a driven pile under undrained conditions. The displacements of the soil surrounding the pile are compared with those obtained by the Small Strain Path Method. In addition, the Modified Cam Clay model is implemented in a code of MPM and used to simulate the process of driving a pile in dry sand. Good and rather encouraging agreement is found between compared data.

Monopiles have been most widely used for supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in shallow water areas. However, multi-member lattice-type structures such as jackets and tripods are also considered good alternatives to monopile foundations for relatively deep water areas with depth ranging from 25-50 m owing to their technical and economic feasibility. Moreover, jacket structures have been popular in the oil and gas industry for a long time. However, several unsolved technical issues still persist in the utilization of multi-member lattice-type supporting structures for OWTs; these problems include pile-soil-interaction (PSI) effects, realization of dynamically stable designs to avoid resonances, and quick and safe installation in remote areas. In this study, the effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of bottom-fixed OWTs, including monopile-, tripod- and jacket-supported OWTs, were investigated intensively. The tower and substructure were modeled using conventional beam elements with added mass, and pile foundations were modeled with beam and nonlinear spring elements. The effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of the structure were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation considering the load amplitude, scouring depth, and the uncertainties in soil properties.

최근 지하안전에 관한 특별법이 시행(2022년 1월)되었으며, 지하안전영향평가를 통해 계획단계부터 지하안전에 관한 사전검토가 실시되고 있다. 지하굴착을 위해서는 가설 흙막이의 구조 안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하므로 지하안전 검토는 더욱 강화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토사지반에서 Soil-Cement 흙막이의 벽체 두께를 확대하고 H-pile의 선택과 설치간격을 자유롭게 할 수 있는 MFS(Multi-axis Flat Continuous Soil Cement Earth Retaining Wall) 흙막이 벽체 공법의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 실내모형실험을 통해 MFS 공법의 H-pile 설치간격에 따른 벽체에 작용하는 하중-변위 거동을 확인하였으며, MFS 흙막이 벽체의 두께별 H-pile 설치간격 및 크기 변화에 따른 하중-변위를 3차원 수치해석으로 분석하여 벽체에 작용하는 아칭효과 높이를 산정하였다. MFS 공법에서 산정한 최대 아칭높이를 기존의 부재력 검토 방법에 적용하여 벽체에 작용하는 축력, 전단력을 정량적으로 분석하는 설계방법을 제시하였다. 그 결과 MFS 흙막이 벽체에 적용되는 H-pile 설치 간격 및 크기에 따른 축력 및 전단력이 24.6~62.9%가 저감하는 것을 확인하였다.
