Abstract

This paper analyzed the characteristics of p-multiplier and the load distribution of H-pile group installed in weathered soil under horizontal loading. The results of this study conducted in pile arrangement ($2{\times}3$, $3{\times}3$), the pile center to center spacing (2D, 4D, 6D), and soil density (relative density: 40%, 80%) were drawn as follows. As to the average horizontal loading applied to each pile in pile groups, the fewer number of piles was, the larger average horizontal resistance became. As the result of analysis on p-y curves of single piles and pile groups according to the pile distance and the soil density, as the pile spacing was increased from 2D to 6D, the interaction coefficients of pile group showed 0.85~0.94 (piles in the front row), 0.57~0.79 (piles in the middle row), and 0.60~0.71 (piles in the rear row) in the loose ground and showed 0.76~0.82 (piles in the front row), 0.58~0.73 (piles in the middle row), and 0.53~0.70 (piles in the rear row) in the dense ground. As above, the wider pile distance was, the larger interaction coefficient value was shown among piles. In addition, piles in the front row showed bigger interaction coefficients than that of piles in the middle and back row.

본 연구에서는 풍화토 지반에 설치된 수평하중을 받는 H-pile 무리말뚝의 하중분담특성 및 상호작용계수(p-multiplier)를 분석하였다. 말뚝의 배열($2{\times}3$, $3{\times}3$), 말뚝의 간격(2D, 4D, 6D), 그리고 지반밀도(상대밀도:40%, 80%)를 고려한 수평재하 실험을 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 무리말뚝내 각각의 말뚝에 작용된 평균수평하중은 말뚝의 수가 감소할수록 평균수평저항력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝간격과 지반밀도에 따라 단말뚝과 무리말뚝의 p-y곡선을 분석한 결과 말뚝간격이 2D에서 6D로 증가함에 따라 무리말뚝의 상호작용계수값이 느슨한 지반의 경우 0.85~0.94(앞열말뚝), 0.57~0.79(중간말뚝), 0.60~0.71(후열말뚝), 조밀한 지반의 경우 0.76~0.82(앞열말뚝), 0.58~0.73(중간말뚝), 0.53~0.70(후열말뚝)의 값을 각각 나타냈다. 이와같이 단말뚝과 무리말뚝간 상호작용계수는 말뚝간격이 증가할수록 그 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 앞열의 무리말뚝이 중간 및 후열말뚝들보다 보다 큰 상호작용계수 값을 나타냈다.
