A Study on the Application of Minimum Reinforcement Ratio in Pile-Bent structure

단일형 현장타설말뚝의 최소 철근비 적용을 위한 연구

In recent days, the foundations of huge structures in general and mega foundations of grand bridges in particular are required in geotechnical engineering. However, previous design method based on virtual fixed point theory cannot adequately predict Pile-Bent structure‘s physical behavior. Therefore, this paper describes a new analysis and design of Pile-Bent structure for grand bridges. A detailed analysis was performed for column-pile interactions using FB-Pier program and Midas program. As a result, the behavior of a column-pile is estimated and highlighted. Moreover, based on this study, it is found that the minimum reinforcement ratio(=0.4%) is applicable for plastic behavior of columns.
