The seismic response, the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of an offshore wind turbine with twisted tripod substructure subject to various pile-ground interactions are discussed in this paper. The acceleration responses of the tower head by four historical earthquakes are presented as the seismic response, while the other loads are assumed as ambient loads. For the pile-ground interactions, the fixed, linear and nonlinear models are employed to simulate the interactions and the p-y, t-z and Q-z curves are utilized for the linear and nonlinear models. The curves are designed for stiff, medium and soft clays, and thus, the seven types of the pile-ground interactions are used to compare the seismic response, the acceleration of the tower head. The mode shapes are similar to each other for all types of pile-ground interactions. The natural frequencies, however, are almost same for the three clay types of the linear model, while the natural frequency of the fixed support model is quite different from that of the linear interaction model. The wind turbine with the fixed support model has the biggest magnitude of acceleration. In addition, the nonlinear model is more sensitive to the stiffness of clay than the linear pile-ground interaction model.

Instead of a single pile, group piles are usually used for the pile foundation. If the earthquake occurs in the ground where group piles are installed, dynamic behavior of group piles are affected not only by interaction of piles and the ground movement but also by the pile cap. However, in Korea, the pile cap influence is not taken account into the design of group piles. Research on dynamic behavior of group piles has been performed only to verify interaction of piles and the ground and has not considered the pile cap as a factor. In this research, 1g shaking table model tests were performed to verify the thickness of the pile cap affects dynamic behavior of group piles that were installed in the ground where the earthquake would occur. The test results show that, as thickness of the pile cap increased, acceleration and horizontal displacement of the pile cap decreasd while vertical displacement of the pile cap increased. The results also showed that, among the group files tested, acceleration, horizontal displacement, and vertical displacement of the bearing pile are smaller than those of the friction pile.

말뚝의 동적거동은 말뚝과 지반 사이의 동적 상호작용에 큰 영향을 받는다. 특히, 경사지반에 설치된 말뚝은 진동방향에 따른 지반저항력 차이, 지반 변위 등에 의해 말뚝-지반 동적상호작용이 매우 복잡해진다. 본 연구에서는 건조 사질토 경사지반에 설치된 단일말뚝과 2×2 무리말뚝에 대하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, 말뚝과 지반 변위 사이의 위상차 및 동적 p-y 곡선 등을 산정하여 경사지반, 단일말뚝과 무리말뚝, 입력가속도 진폭 등의 조건이 말뚝-지반 동적 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지반-말뚝 사이의 운동학적 힘이 말뚝의 동적거동에 큰 영향을 주며, 동적 p-y 곡선이 지반경사, 잔류변위, 운동학적 힘의 영향 등으로 매우 복잡한 형상을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 실시하여 지반굴착으로 인해 융기(heaving)가 발생하는 지반에 사전에 근입된 말뚝의 거동에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 수치해석에서는 말뚝과 점토사이 경계면에서의 미끄러짐(소성항복)을 고려하여 그 상호거동에 대하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝의 상향변위, 말뚝과 인접지반의 상대변위, 말뚝에 작용하는 전단응력 및 인장력을 분석하였다. 특히, 수직응력의 감소로 인해 말뚝과 인접지반에서의 전단응력이 전이되는 메커니즘에 대한 심도있는 분석을 실시하였다. 굴착에 의해 수직응력이 감소하여 말뚝과 인접지반 사이에서의 상대변위 및 전단응력이 변화하였다. 말뚝 대부분의 위치(Z/L=0.0-0.8)에서는 상향의 전단응력이 발생하였으나, 말뚝 선단부 부근(Z/L=0.8-1.0)에서는 하향의 전단응력이 발생하였고, 이로 인해 말뚝에는 인장력이 발생하였다. Z는 임의의 심도, L은 말뚝의 길이이다. 수치해석을 통해서 분석된 말뚝의 거동에 대하여 상세히 보고하였다.

This study aimed to develop upper and lower bounds to predict the tunnel support pressure under the pile tip during the circular tunnel excavation. Most previous studies on the upper and lower bound methods were carried out for the single ground structures, e.g., retaining wall, foundation, ground anchor and tunnel, in the homogeneous ground conditions, since the pile-soil-tunnel interaction problem is very complicated and sophisticated to solve using those bound methods. Therefore, in the lower bound approach two appropriate stress fields were proposed for single pile and tunnel respectively, and then they were superimposed. In addition, based on the superimposition several failure mechanisms were proposed for the upper bound solution. Finally, these upper bound mechanisms were examined by shear strain data from the laboratory model test and numerical analysis using finite element method.

상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝의 내진설계 시 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려되어야 한다. 무리말뚝 설계 시 지반과 구조물의 비선형 관계는 p-y 곡선이 많이 사용되고 있으며 지진과 같은 동적하중조건에서 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려된 동적 p-y 곡선을 무리말뚝의 내진설계에 사용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 연구는 말뚝 캡에 의한 지지효과 및 상부구조물의 관성거동에 의한 상호작용은 고려되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 근입된 상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡의 변화가 무리말뚝에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 말뚝의 배열 및 중심 간격은 고정하고 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격을 변화시켜 진동대 모형실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격의 변화가 말뚝의 동적 p-y 곡선 및 무리말뚝 효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Using the nonlinear load transfer function for pile side soil and the linear load transfer function for pile end soil, a combined approach of the incremental load transfer matrix method and the approximate differential equation solution method is presented for the nonlinear analysis of interaction between flexible pile group and soil. The proposed method provides an effective approach for the solution of the nonlinear interaction between flexible pile group under rigid platform and surrounding soil. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, a static load test for a nine-pile group under a rigid platform is carried out. The finite element analysis is also conducted for comparison purposes. It is found that the results from the proposed method match very well with those from the experimental test and are better in comparison with the finite element method.

Transmission towers have come to represent one of the most important infrastructures in today's society, which may suffer severe earthquakes during their service lives. However, in the conventional seismic analyses of transmission towers, the towers are normally assumed to be fixed on the ground without considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the pile-supported transmission tower. This assumption may lead to inaccurate seismic performance estimations of transmission towers. In the present study, the seismic response and failure analyses of pile-supported transmission towers considering SSI are comprehensively performed based on the finite element method. Specifically, two detailed finite element (FE) models of the employed pile-supported transmission tower with and without consideration of SSI effects are established in ABAQUS analysis platform, in which SSI is simulated by the classical p-y approach. A simulation method is developed to stochastically synthesize the earthquake ground motions at different soil depths (i.e. depth-varying ground motions, DVGMs). The impacts of SSI on the dynamic characteristic, seismic response and failure modes are investigated and discussed by using the generated FE models and ground motions. Numerical results show that the vibration mode shapes of the pile-supported transmission towers with and without SSI are basically same; however, SSI can significantly affect the dynamic characteristic by altering the vibration frequencies of different modes. Neglecting the SSI and the variability of earthquake motions at different depths may cause an underestimate and overestimate on the seismic responses, respectively. Moreover, the seismic failure mode of pile-supported transmission towers is also significantly impacted by the SSI and DVGMs.

The compaction pile methods with low replacement area ratio used sand(SCP) or gravel(GCP) has been usually applied to improvement of soft clay deposits. In order to design accurately compaction pile method with low replacement area ratio, it is important to understand the mechanical interaction between sand piles and clays and its mechanism during consolidation process of the composition ground. In this paper, a series of numerical analyses on composition ground improved by SCP and GCP with low replacement area ratio were carried out, in order to investigate the mechanical interaction between sand piles and clays. The applicability of numerical analyses, in which and elasto-viscoplastic consolidation finite element method was applied, could be confirmed comparing with results of a series of model tests on consolidation behaviors of composition ground improved by SCP. And,through the results of the numerical analyses, each mechanical behaviors of compaction piles and clays in the composition ground during consolidation was elucidated, together with stress sharing mechanism between compaction piles and clays.

변형률 쐐기모델은 지반의 변형과 말뚝의 복합적인 상호거동을 반영하는 효과적인 횡방향 지지력 산정방법이며, 국내에서도 근래에 들어 실무에서 그 적용성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 특히 다층지반에서의 변형률 쐐기모델은 아직까지 국내에서 검증된 바가 없어, 다층지반에서 횡방향 하중을 받는 말뚝의 거동을 변형률 쐐기모델로 이해하기 위해서는 충분한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다층 지반에서도 변형률 쐐기모델이 지반과 말뚝의 복합거동을 모사할 수 있는 유효한 모델인지 확인하기 위하여 모형실험과 수치해석기법으로 그 적용성을 확인해 보았다. 모형말뚝을 이용하여 직접 횡방향 하중을 재하시킴으로써 말뚝의 거동특성을 평가하고, 주면 마찰저항력의 크기로 지반의 변형률을 평가하여 지반의 수동쐐기를 도출하면서 지층의 강성에 따른 수동쐐기의 상태변화를 확인함으로써 다층지반에서의 적용성을 확인하였다. 아울러 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 모형실험을 검증함으로써 모형실험의 신뢰성을 검증하여 변형률 쐐기모델의 적용성을 검증하였다.
