Abstract
This study describes the three-dimensional behavior of pile foundations based on a numerical study. A series of numerical analyses were performed for connectivity conditions between piles and cap under vertical and lateral loadings. It is shown that a fixed connection between pile and cap is able to transfer significant bending moment through the connection and increases the pile lateral stiffness and the bending moment. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the cross sectional shear force in the raft with fixed head condition was larger than that of pinned head condition. Thus, the reinforcement of pile head and thickness of the raft also increases in fixed pile head condition. From the results, it is found that the overall behavior and cross sectional forces of pile foundations is affected significantly by the pile head conditions. Furthermore, the design of pile foundations with pinned head condition was judged to be less costly and very useful for preliminary design stages.
본 연구에서는 수직 및 수평하중을 받는 말뚝기초의 두부구속조건(고정단, 힌지단)에 따른 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수평하중과 수직하중 작용 시 말뚝과 기초의 강결합(고정단)이 힌지결합에 비하여 말뚝두부에서 횡방향 강성 및 단면 발생모멘트(휨모멘트)가 크게 나타나고 전면기초(raft)에서 발생하는 전단력도 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 말뚝의 두부구속조건이 말뚝기초 전체의 거동에 지대한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 힌지결합이 강결합과 비교하여 전면기초의 두께 및 말뚝의 철근 배근량을 감소시킬 수 있기 때문에 허용변위를 만족하는 선에서 경제적인 말뚝기초의 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
