The failure of slope can cause remarkable damage to either human life or infrastructures. Stabilizing piles are widely utilized to reinforce slope as a slip-resistance structure. The workability of pile-stabilized slopes is affected by various parameters. In this study, the performance of earth slope reinforced with piles and the behavior of piles under static load, by shear reduction strength method using the finite difference software (FLAC^3D) has been investigated. Parametric studies were conducted to investigate the role of pile length (L), different pile distances from each other (S/D), pile head conditions (free and fixed head condition), the effect of sand density (loose, medium, and high-density soil) on the pile behavior, and the performance of pile-stabilized slopes. The performance of the stabilized slopes was analyzed by evaluating the factor of safety, lateral displacement and bending moment of piles, and critical slip mechanism. The results depict that as L increased and S/D reduced, the performance of slopes stabilized with pile gets better by raising the soil density. The greater the amount of bending moment at the shallow depths of the pile in the fixed pile head indicates the effect of the inertial force due to the structure on the pile performance.

As the forefront of structural design method, capacity spectrum method can be applied conveniently, and through this method, deformation demand of structure can be considered. However, there is no research for the seismic application in the structure of sheet pile retaining wall to report. Therefore, focusing on laterally loaded stabilizing sheet pile wall, which belongs to flexible cantilever retaining structure and meets the applying requirement of capacity spectrum method from seismic design of building structure, this paper studied an approach of seismic design of sheet pile wall based on capacity spectrum method. In the procedure, the interaction between soil and structure was simplified, and through Pushover analysis, seismic fortification standard was well associated with performance of retaining structure. In addition, by comparing the result of nonlinear time history analysis, it suggests that this approach is applicable.

A series of three-dimensional (3D) parametric finite element analyses have been performed to study the influence of the relative locations of pile tips with regards to the tunnel position on the behaviour of single piles and pile groups to adjacent tunnelling in weathered soil. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, which considers the relative pile tip location with respect to the tunnel position, tunnelling-induced pile head settlements are larger than those computed from the Greenfield condition. However, when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, a reverse trend is obtained. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, the tunnelling-induced tensile pile forces mobilised, but when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, compressive pile forces are induced because of tunnelling, depending on the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. For piles connected to a cap, tensile and compressive forces are mobilised at the top of the centre and side piles, respectively. It has been shown that the increases in the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements have resulted in reductions of the apparent factor of safety up to approximately 43% when the pile tips are inside the influence zone, therefore severely affecting the serviceability of the piles. The pile behaviour, when considering the location of the pile tips with regards to the tunnel, has been analysed in great detail by taking the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements, axial pile forces, apparent factor of safety of the piles and shear transfer mechanism into account.

Seismic analyses of a pile under a large rigid basement foundation embedded in the homogeneous soil layer were performed practically by a response displacement method assuming a sinusoidal wave form. However, it is hard to take into account the characteristics of a large mat foundation and a heterogeneous soil layer with the response displacement method. The response displacement method is relevant to the 2D problems for longitudinal structures such as tunnel, underground cave structure, etc., but might not be relevant with isolated foundations for building structures. In this study, seismic pile analysis by a pseudo 3D finite element method was carried out to compare numerical results with results of the response displacement method considering 3D characteristics of a foundation-soil system which is important for the building foundation analyses. Study results show that seismic analyses results of a response displacement method are similar to those of a pseudo 3D numerical method for stiff and dense soil layers, but they are too conservative for a soft soil layer inducing large soil pressures on the foundation wall and large pile displacements due to ignored foundation rigidity and resistance.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여 사용 중인 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 측면에서 실시된 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝-지반 경계면에서의 전단응력전이를 미끄러짐(slip)을 고려할 수 있는 접촉요소(interface element)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 말뚝-지반경계면에서의 전단응력, 말뚝의 축력 및 지반 및 말뚝의 변형에 대한 분석을 포함한다. 탄성이론에 근거한 기존의 연구는 말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자들을 적절히 고려하지 못하여 말뚝의 거동을 명확하게 분석할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝-지반 사이에서의 전단응력전이로 인하여 말뚝인접 지반의 전단응력 및 말뚝의 축력분포가 크게 변하는 것으로 나타났는데, 터널 springline 상부에서는 하향의 마찰력이 발생하였으며, 그 하부에서는 상향의 저항력이 발현되어 말뚝에는 압축력이 발생하였다. 경계면에서의 전단응력 발현정도는 말뚝-지반의 상호거동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 군말뚝의 축력분포에 대한 분석결과 단독말뚝에 비해 터널굴착의 영향을 덜 받는 것으로 나타났다. 터널굴착으로 유발된 말뚝의 침하와 관련된 말뚝의 겉보기 지지력 감소는 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 항만구조물 기초지반에 소일-시멘트 파일을 이용한 말뚝식 지반개량을 적용한 90개 단면에 대해 안정검토를 수행하였고, 수치해석을 포함한 모든 항목에서 안정한 단면별 최소치환율을 결정하였으며, 원심모형실험을 통해 수치해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 기초지반이 매우 연약($s_u$ =15kPa이하)한 경우에는 말뚝식 지반개량이 부적합하고, 항만구조물의 말뚝식 지반개량에는 기초지반과 개량체의 강성비(n)가 최대 50~75이하이고 개량체 강도가 2~3MPa인 소일-시멘트 파일공법이 가장 적합하며, 최소치환율 지배인자가 허용수평변위이므로 말뚝식 지반개량을 설계할 때는 반드시 수평변위를 검토해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a simplified three-dimensional calculation model is developed for the dynamic analysis of soil-pile group-supertall building systems excited by wind loads using the substructure method. Wind loads acting on a 300-m building in different wind directions and terrain conditions are obtained from synchronous pressure measurements conducted in a wind tunnel. The effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the first natural frequency, wind-induced static displacement, root mean square (RMS) of displacement, and RMS of acceleration at the top of supertall buildings are analyzed. The findings demonstrate that with decreasing soil shear wave velocity, the first natural frequency decreases and the static displacement, RMS of displacement and RMS of acceleration increase. In addition, as soil material damping decreases, the RMS of displacement and the RMS of acceleration increase.

In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed for a soil-foundation-structural interaction system in dry sand with various embedded depths and superstructure conditions. Sinusoidal wave, sweep wave and real earthquake were used as input motion with various input acceleration and frequencies. Based on the results, a natural period and an earthquake load for soil-structure interaction system were evaluated by comparing the free-field and foundation accelerations. The natural period of free field is longer than that of the soil-foundation-structure system. In addition, it is confirmed that the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure system is smaller than that of free-field in short period region. In contrast, the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure interaction system is larger than that of free-field in long period region. Therefore, the current seismic design method, applying seismic loading of free-field to foundation, could overly underestimate seismic load and cause unsafe design for long period structures, such as high-rise buildings.
