Abstract
As part of study to develop LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) codes for foundation structures in Korea, resistance factors for static bearing capacity of driven steel pipe piles were calibrated in the framework of reliability theory. The 57 data sets of static load tests and soil property tests conducted in the whole domestic area were collected and these load test piles were sorted into two cases: SPT N at pile tip less than 50, SPT N at pile tip equal to or more than 50. The static bearing capacity formula and the Meyerhof method using N values were applied to calculate the expected design bearing capacities of the piles. The resistance bias factors were evaluated for the two static design methods by comparing the representative measured bearing capacities with the expected design values. Reliability analysis was performed by two types of advanced methods: the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), and the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method using resistance bias factor statistics. The target reliability indices are selected as 2.0 and 2.33 for group pile case and 2.5 for single pile case, in consideration of the reliability level of the current design practice, redundancy of pile group, acceptable risk level, construction quality control, and significance of individual structure. Resistance factors of driven steel pipe piles were recommended based on the results derived from the First Order Reliability Method and the Monte Carlo Simulation method.
국내 기초구조물에 대한 하중저항계수설계법 개발의 일환으로 신뢰성에 기반한 항타강관말뚝의 저항계수를 산정하였다. 국내 정재하시험 및 지반조사 자료를 수집, 분석하여 측정 지지력 확인이 가능한 57개 자료에 대해서 선단부 N치 50을 기준으로 두 그룹으로 분류하였다(N<50, $N{\geq}50$). 구조물기초설계기준에서 제안하고 있는 두 가지 정역학적 설계공식에 대해서 대표 측정지지력과 설계지지력을 비교함으로써 저항편향계수를 평가하였다. 저항편향계수의 통계특성을 이용하여 일차신뢰도법 및 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션에 의한 엄밀한 신뢰성 분석을 실시하였다. 신뢰성 분석 결과 및 국내 말뚝기초의 설계, 시공 실무 특성을 종합적으로 고려하여 목표 신뢰도지수를 결정하였다. 무리말뚝의 여용성을 적용할 수 있는 경우 2.0, 2.33, 무리말뚝의 여용성을 적용할 수 없는 경우 2.5의 목표 신뢰도지수를 결정하였고, 일차신뢰도법 및 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 저항계수를 산정하였다.
