Abstract

To determine the optimum dynamic load test analysis for PCFT (Prestressed Concrete Filled steel Tube) hybrid composite piles that PCFT piles are connected to the top of PHC piles, the dynamic load tests and CAPWAP analyses were performed on two hybrid composite piles with steel pipe and PCFT piles as upper piles. The results of the dynamic load tests and CAPWAP analyses showed that the particle velocity measured in PCFT hybrid composite piles was equal to the wave speed of PHC piles when the strain gauges and accelerometers are attached to the surface of inner composite PHC pile after removing the steel pipe in the upper PCFT pile. In addition, when assuming that the material of that upper PCFT pile was the same as that of the lower PHC pile and the cross-sectional area of the steel pipe in upper PCFT pile was converted to that for concrete through the pile model (PM) in CAPWAP analysis, the accuracy of the CAPWAP analysis result for PCFT hybrid composite piles was very high.

PCFT말뚝의 하부에 PHC말뚝을 연결한 PCFT 복합말뚝에 대한 최적의 동재하시험 분석 방법을 도출하기 위하여 동일 현장에 시공된 강관 복합말뚝과 PCFT 복합말뚝에 대해 동재하시험을 실시한 후 CAPWAP분석 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 PCFT 복합말뚝에 대한 동재하시험 수행 시 변형률계와 가속도계는 상부 PCFT말뚝에서 강관을 제거한 후 내부 합성 PHC말뚝에 부착하는 것이 바람직하고, 이렇게 측정된 PCFT 복합말뚝의 입자 변위속도는 PHC말뚝 고유의 변형파 속도인 4,000m/sec과 동일하였다. 그리고 CAPWAP분석 시 PM과정을 통해 상부 PCFT말뚝의 재질을 PHC말뚝과 동일하게 하고 말뚝 단면적으로 콘크리트로 환산한 단면적을 사용했을 때 CAPWAP분석의 정확도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.
