Abstract

The interaction between the ground and structures should be considered for seismic design of group piles supporting the superstructure. The p-y curve has been used widely for the analysis of nonlinear relationship between the ground and structures, and various researches have conducted to apply the dynamic p-y curve for seismic design of group piles. This curve considers the interaction between the ground and structures under the dynamic load such as an earthquake. However the supported effect by the pile cap and the interaction by inertia behavior of superstructures. Therefore, the shaking table test was conducted to verify the effect of the change of the pile cap in group piles supporting superstructures embedded in sandy soil. The test condition is that the arrangement and distance between centers of piles are fixed and the length of the pile cap is changed for various distances between the pile cap side and the pile center. The result shows that the distance between the pile cap side and the pile center have an effect on the dynamic p-y curve and the effect of group piles.

상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝의 내진설계 시 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려되어야 한다. 무리말뚝 설계 시 지반과 구조물의 비선형 관계는 p-y 곡선이 많이 사용되고 있으며 지진과 같은 동적하중조건에서 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려된 동적 p-y 곡선을 무리말뚝의 내진설계에 사용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 연구는 말뚝 캡에 의한 지지효과 및 상부구조물의 관성거동에 의한 상호작용은 고려되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 근입된 상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡의 변화가 무리말뚝에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 말뚝의 배열 및 중심 간격은 고정하고 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격을 변화시켜 진동대 모형실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격의 변화가 말뚝의 동적 p-y 곡선 및 무리말뚝 효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
