Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the plugging effect on the capacity of open-ended piles installed in sandy soil. Full-scale tests, including dynamic and static axial-compression load tests, were carried out on three instrumented piles with different diameters (508.0, 711.2 and 914.4 mm). To measure the outer and inner shaft resistances acting on the piles, a double-walled system was utilized with instrumented strain gauges on the outside and inside walls of the pile. The results of field tests show that the inner shaft resistance was mostly mobilized at the location between the pile tip and 18-34% of the total plug length. It was found that the soil plugging in the lower portion has influence on the inner shaft resistance. In addition, it can be also demonstrated that the ratio of inner shaft resistance plus annulus load resistance to total resistance decreased with increasing pile diameters. The results of these tests show that the relationship between the degree of plugging and pile diameter is clearly established. Direct observations of the soil plugs were made and used to quantify both the plug length ratio (PLR) and the incremental filling ratio (IFR). Based on this result, it was found that the N value of the standard penetration test (SPT) is highly correlated with the IFR.

연구에서는 사질토 지반에서 개단말뚝의 지지력에 영향을 미치는 폐색효과를 조사하기 위하여 현장재하시험을 수행하였다. 현장재하시험은 직경이 다른 총 3본의 시험말뚝(508.0, 711.2, 914.4mm)을 제작하여 각각 동재하시험과 정재하시험을 실시하였다. 내주면마찰력과 외주면마찰력을 분리 측정하기 위하여 시험말뚝을 이중관으로 제작하였고, 외부말뚝의 안쪽과 내부말뚝의 바깥쪽 표면에 변형률계를 부착하였다. 정재하시험 결과, 내주면마찰력은 선단부로부터 총 관내토 길이의 약 18-34%의 부근에서 집중적으로 발생하였고, 이를 통해 말뚝 선단부근의 관내토가 내주면마찰력 발현에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 말뚝직경이 클수록 전체지지력에 대한 내주면마찰력과 순단면적의 선단지지력의 합의 비가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 말뚝의 폐색율을 정량화하기 위해 시험말뚝의 incremental filling ratio(IFR)를 측정하여 분석한 결과, SPT의 N값과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
