Current design of pile group is based on the estimation of the overall bearing capacity of a pile group from that of a single pile using a group efficiency. However, the behaviors of a pile group are influenced by various factors such as method of pile installation, pile-soil-pile interaction, cap-soil-pile interaction, etc. Thus it is practically impossible to take into account these factors reasonably with the only group efficiency, In this paper, a new method for the design of pile groups is proposed, where the significant factors affecting the behavior of a pile group are considered separately by adopting several efficiencies. Furthermore, in the proposed method, the load transfer characteristics of piles and the difference of pile behaviors with respect to the pile locations in group can be taken into account. The efficiencies for the method are determined using the settlement failure criterion, which is consistent with the concept of allowable settlement for structures. The efficiencies calculated from the results of existing model tests are presented, and the bearing capacity of a pile group in the other model test is calculated and compared with that from the test result, to verify the validity of the proposed method.

One-dimensional soil-column studies were carried out to understand the interaction of three industrial effluents namely amino acid ('highly acidic'), surfactant ('highly organic') and pharmaceutical ('organic and toxic') on the physicochemical behavior, index properties and shear strength of bentonite due to artificial contamination extending to nearly 300 days. Changes in inorganic and organic pollutants present in the effluents due to the interaction of the above effluents and soil were assessed to understand the physico-chemical behaviour. Batch and continuous modes of operation, 8 hrs and 16 hrs Hydraulic Retention Time [HRT] and 25%, 50% concentrations of effluents, were the parameters considered. Amino acid, surfactant and pharmaceutical effluents have shown a high variation in pH (7 to 8) after artificial contamination on bentonite that is their original characteristics of the above effluents have been completely reversed. Further, it is found that the shear strength of bentonite has reduced by about 20%, and with respect to liquid limit and plastic limit shows an increasing trend with time within the period of contamination.

A three-dimensional numerical modeling using the finite element method for the suction caisson are described to decide suitability as foundation of offshore wind turbine in this paper. In the simulation, soil-structure interaction is defined by comparing experiment data. The reaction of monopod suction caisson is presented by moment loading which was calculated by FAST. Tendency of suction caisson appeared by difference of length and diameter of skirt under coupled loading. Length and diameter of skirt are suggested and evaluated as a offshore wind turbine.

The most common failure of breakwater comes from impact wave pressure generated by intense storms. This impact pressure is 10 folds greater than the pressure generated by normal waves. Therefore, the precise knowledge of magnitude of impact wave pressure applied on breakwater and its structural response is crucial for the economical and safe design. However, presently, a precise analysis of breakwater is restricted by insufficient and incorrect consideration of the effect of soil-structure Interaction. 3 major research areas included in this study are (1) theoretical analysis of impact wave pressure, (2) selection of breakwater structure model (3) soil-structure interaction analysis using limit analysis computer program. Based on this analysis, predicted response of concrete breakwater and probable failure location under wave impact pressure are determined.

In this paper, three dimensional dynamic infinite elements are developed for the soil-structure interaction analysis in multi-layered halfspace. For the efficient discretization of 3-D for field regions, five types of dynamic infinite elements are developed. They are the horizontal, vertical, horizontal comer, vertical comer and horizontal/vertical corner infinite elements. The shape functions of the infinite elements are based on approximate expressions of analytical solutions of propagating waves in the infinite region. Numerical example analyses are presented for compliances of rigid circular and square plates to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed infinite elements.

본 논문에서는 현수교에 대하여 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다. 교량의 앵커리지와 기초를 부분구조법(Structure method)을 이용한 지반-구조물 상호작용(Soil-Structure Interaction) 해석프로그램 SASSI를 이용하여 구조물 저면에서의 지반 임피던스(Impedance)를 계산하고 이로부터 앵커리지 및 기초와 지반에 대응하는 강성, 질량, 그리고 감쇠를 가지는 집중 파라메터 모델을 구하였다. 그리고 현수교 유한요소 모델에 앵커리지 및 기초와 지반에 대한 집중 파라메터 모델을 연계하여 전체 교량에 대한 지반-구조물 시스템을 구성하고 시간영역에서의 지반 운동에 대한 동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하지 않은 경우와 고려한 경우를 비교하였고 파동전달효과를 고려한 경우와 고려하지 않은 경우를 비교함으로써 지반-구조물 상호작용의 영향을 살펴보았다.

측발유동을 받는 일렬 군말뚝의 그룹효과를 파악하이 위해 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 국내의 대표적인 화강풍화토 지반에 선단지지된 말뚝을 대상으로 측방으로 지반변위 발생시 말뚝 두부조건과 중심간격(2.5D, 5.0D, 7.0D, 단독말뚝) 및 말뚝주면의 접촉효과를 고려한 군말뚝의 상호작용계수를 산정하였다. 본 연구 결과, 단독말뚝과 비교하여 군말뚝의 간격이 좁아짐에 따라 상호작용계수는 현저하게 감소하였으며 말뚝 두부조건이 회전구속, 힌지,자유단의 순으로 감소정도가 크게 나타났다. 이는 실내모형실험을 통해 산정된 상호작용계수와도 비교적 잘 일치함을 보였다.

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.

New construction for public transport in congested urban areas will involve tunnel construction adjacent to existing building or bridge foundations and services due to the lack of surface space. Therefore, careful assessment of the important underground structure-soil-tunnelling interaction is relatively new, currently only limited information is available. In this study, the authors carried out FE analysis and the laboratory model test using the photogrammetric technique and suggested the influence zones associated with the normalised pile tip settlement during new tunnel construction.
