Abstract

The design of Piled Raft foundations considering the load sharing between raft and piles provides a more economical solution than the conventional design approach based on bearing capacity of piles only. Generally, numerical methods are used to analyze the behavior of Piled Rafts due to its complexity and load sharing ratio is also estimated by numerical methods about some limited cases under specific load level and soil conditions. In this study, a method to estimate the load sharing between the raft and piles was developed which is based on load-settlement characteristics of foundation elements. Normalized load-settlement curves of the raft and pile groups were derived individually, and the relationship between load sharing ratio and foundation settlement was proposed by using these curves. For each load-settlement curves, hyperbolic type was adopted in order to describe the non-linear behavior of foundations. Centrifuge test results were compared with the results from proposed method, and the trends of variation of load sharing ratio with settlement presented from both were similar.

말뚝과 raft의 하중 분담 효과를 고려한 Piled Raft 기초의 설계는, 말뚝의 지지력만을 고려하여 설계하는 기존의 말뚝기초 설계 방식에 비해 경제적인 설계를 가능하게 해준다. 일반적으로 Piled Raft 기초 거동의 해석 및 설계는, 해석의 복잡성으로 인해 주로 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치 해석을 이용하고 있으며, 하중 분담 효과에 대한 해석 또한 개별적 상황에 따른 수치해석의 결과로 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 기초 요소의 하중-침하 특성을 고려하여 Piled Raft 기초에서의 수직하중에 대한 raft와 말뚝의 하중 분담 효과를 평가할 수 있는 모델을 제안하고자 하였다. 기초의 비선형적 거동을 고려하여 말뚝과 raft의 거동을 각각 쌍곡선(hyperbolic curve) 형태의 정규화된 하중-침하 곡선(normalized load-settlement curve)으로 표현하고, 이를 통해 기초의 침하에 따른 말뚝과 raft의 하중 분담 정도를 평가할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 또한 제시한 모델의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 Piled Raft 기초에 대한 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 제시한 모델과 원심모형실험 결과로부터 나타난 침하에 따른 하중 분담률의 변화 양상이 전체적으로 유사한 형태를 보였다.
