Abstract

Pile load tests were carried out to investigate the contribution of the pile cap to the carrying capacity of a pile group and load transfer characteristics of piles in the group. A group of 24 piles$(4 \times6 array)$ of 92.5mm diameter steel pipe were installed to the depth of 3m fron the ground surface, the top of weathered rock. A maximum load of 320ton was applied to the pile cap, $1.5\times2.3m$, in contact with the ground surface. At the maximum load of 320ton, the pile cap has carried 22% of the total load. Average ultimate capacity of pile in the pile group was estimated to be 16.4ton, substantially higher than that of single pile, installed at the corner and tested before pile cap construction. For the same magnitude of settlement, the pile in the center carried less load than the pile at the perimeter due to strain superposition effect. Piles in the group showed almost constant contribution(approx. 60%) of side friction to the total capacity for all of the loading stages, while that of single pile decreased from 82% to 65%.

무리말뚝의 하중지지능력에서 말뚝캡이 부담하는 비율을 파악하고 무리말뚝을 구성하는 개개 말뚝의 하중전이 특성을 알아보고자 재하시험을 수행하였다. 직경 92.5mm의 강관말뚝 24본(4개씩 6열)을 지표 아래 3m 깊이까지 근입 시컥 풍화암 상단에 말뚝선단이 위치하도록 하였다. 최대하중 320t을 지표면에 접촉되어 있는 $1.5\times2.3m$ 크기의 말뚝캡에 재하하였다. 최대 시험하중인 320t에서는 말뚝캡이 전체하중의 약 22%에 해당하는 하중을 분담하였다. 무리 말뚝 재하시험시 말뚝의 평균 극한지지력은 16.4t이며, 이 값은 말뚝캡을 타설하기 전에 무리말뚝의 모서리에 위치한 말뚝에 대하여 수행한 단말쪽 재하시험으로부터 구한 극한지지력보다 상당히 크게 나타났다. 변위장중첩 효과로 인하여 무리말뚝 중앙에 위치한 말뚝은 작은 하중이 작용하여도 외곽부의 말뚝과 같은 침하량을 기록한 것으로 나타났다. 무리말뚝에서는 주면마찰력의 분담율이 전 하중단계에서 약 60%로 일정하나 단말뚝 시험에서는 하중이 증가함에 따라 주면마찰력의 분담율이 82%에서 65%로 감소하였다.
