In this paper, due to the need for cutting cement-soil group pile composite foundation under the 7-story masonry structure of Zhenghe District and the shield tunnel of Zhengzhou Metro Line 5, a field test was conducted to directly cut cement-soil single pile composite foundation with diameter Ф=500 mm. Research results showed that the load transfer mechanism of composite foundation was not changed before and after shield tunnel cut the pile, and pile body and the soil between piles was still responsible for overburden load. The construction disturbance of shield cutting pile is a complicated mechanical process. The load carried by the original pile body was affected by the disturbance effect of pile cutting construction. Also, the fraction of the load carried by the original pile body was transferred to the soil between the piles and therefore, the bearing capacity of composite foundation was not decreased. Only the fractions of the load carried by pile and the soil between piles were distributed. On-site monitoring results showed that the settlement of pressure-bearing plates produced during shield cutting stage accounted for about 7% of total settlement. After the completion of pile cutting, the settlements of bearing plates generated by shield machine during residual pile composite foundation stage and shield machine tail were far away from residual pile composite foundation stage which accounted for about 15% and 74% of total settlement, respectively. In order to reduce the impact of shield cutting pile construction on the settlement of upper composite foundation, it was recommended to take measures such as optimization of shield construction parameters, radial grouting reinforcement and "clay shock" grouting within the disturbance range of shield cutting pile construction. Before pile cutting, the pile-soil stress ratio n of composite foundation was 2.437. After the shield cut pile is completed, the soil around the lining structure is gradually consolidated and reshaped, and residual pile composite foundation reaches a new state of force balance. This was because the condensation of grouting layer could increase the resistance of remaining pile end and friction resistance of the side of the pile.

Existing piles, especially in urban areas, are at risk of being cut by new tunnel construction, potentially affecting their serviceability. This study examined the behaviour of piles under various reinforcement conditions subject to tip cutting resulting from tunnel excavation. For this, the construction of a tunnel using a shield tunnel boring machine adjacent to existing single and group piles was simulated. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to perform the simulations. Certain piles in the group were simulated by cutting the pile tips to mimic the effect of tunnel excavation, and the behaviour of the piles was studied by considering the effect of pile cap and ground reinforcements. A numerical analysis was used to examine the ground settlement caused by tunnel excavation, pile head settlement, axial pile force, and shear stress occurring at the pile-ground interface. The results revealed that for all piles with pile tips supported by weathered rock, the shear stress distributions demonstrated similar trends, whereas for piles with cut tips, tensile or compressive forces occurred simultaneously according to the relative position by pile depth. Additionally, when the pile tip was supported by weathered rock, approximately 70% of the support was due to shaft friction and the remaining 30% was provided by the pile tip. For piles without reinforcement, the final settlement was approximately 70% greater than that of piles with grouting reinforcement. These results indicate that pile and ground settlements are substantially influenced by pile tip cutting and reinforcement conditions.

본 연구에서는 Shield TBM 터널 근접 시공으로 인한 기 존재하는 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 공학적 거동을 파악하기 위해 다양한 보강조건을 고려한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에서는 말뚝 절단, 지반보강 및 기초판 보강을 고려하여 말뚝의 거동을 분석하였으며, 터널굴착으로 유발되는 지반침하, 말뚝두부 침하, 말뚝의 축력 및 말뚝-지반 사이 경계면에서 발생하는 전단응력을 고찰하였다. 말뚝선단이 풍화암에 지지되는 모든 말뚝에서는 전단응력의 분포가 비슷한 경향을 보였으며, 말뚝선단이 절단되는 말뚝의 경우 말뚝의 상대적 위치에 따라 인장력 혹은 압축력이 동시에 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 말뚝선단이 풍화암에 지지된 경우 약 70%가 주면마찰력에 지지되며, 나머지 약 30%가 말뚝선단에 지지되는 것으로 분석되었다. 추가적으로 보강을 고려하지 않은 말뚝의 경우 그라우팅 보강을 실시한 말뚝에 비해 최종침하가 약 70% 크게 발생하였다. 말뚝선단 절단 및 보강조건 유무에 따라 지반 침하와 말뚝 침하가 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었으며, 본 연구를 통해 말뚝절단, 지반보강 및 기초판 보강 조건에 따른 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자를 심도있게 고찰하였다.
