Abstract

In the current work, a series of three-dimensional finite element analysis was carried out to understand the behaviour of pile when the tunnel passes through the lower part of a single pile or group piles. At the current study, the numerical analysis analysed the results regarding the ground reinforcement condition between the tunnel and pile foundation. In the numerical modelling, several key issues, such as the pile settlements, the axial pile forces, the shear stresses and the total displacements near the tunnel have been thoroughly analysed. The pile head settlements of the single pile with the maximum level of reinforcement decreased by about 16% compared to the pile without ground reinforcement. Furthermore, the maximum axial force of the single pile with the maximum level of ground reinforcement experienced a 30% reduction compared to the pile without reinforcement. It has been found that the angle of ground reinforcement in the transverse direction affects the pile behaviour more so than the length of the ground reinforcement in the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, in the case of the pile group with the reinforced pile cap, the ground displacement near the pile tip appears to be similar to the corresponding ground displacement without reinforcement. However, it was found that the pile cap near the pile head greatly restrained the pile head movement and hence the axial pile force increased by about 2.5 times near the pile top compared to the piles in other analysis conditions. The behaviour of the single pile and group piles, depending on the amount of ground reinforcement, has been extensively examined and analysed by considering the key features in great details.

본 연구는 단독말뚝 또는 군말뚝 형태의 기초 하부를 터널이 근접통과할 경우 말뚝의 거동을 파악하기위해 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이때 터널과 말뚝기초 사이의 지반보강 조건별로 수치해석을 수행하여 결과를 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 인해 유발된 말뚝침하, 축력, 전단응력 및 터널 주변지반의 전체변위를 고찰하였다. 단독말뚝의 두부침하는 지반보강의 범위가 가장 넓은 경우 지반보강을 고려하지 않은 말뚝에 비해 약 16% 감소하며, 말뚝의 최대 축력 또한 지반보강을 고려하지 않은 말뚝에 비해 약 30% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널굴착에 따른 말뚝의 거동은 지반보강길이 (종방향 보강)보다는 보강각도(횡방향 보강)에 대해 더 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 오직 기초판 보강만을 실시한 군말뚝의 경우 선단부근 지반의 변위는 보강을 고려하지 않은 조건의 지반 변위와 비슷하게 나타났다. 이에 비해 말뚝두부에서는 기초판이 말뚝을 크게 구속하여 타 조건 말뚝의 경우에 비해 말뚝상부에서 축력이 약 2.5배 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 보강조건에 따른 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자를 심도 있게 고찰하였다.
