Abstract

Currently, the seismic design standards have been strengthened due to the occurrence of the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquake, and seismic performance evaluation of existing facilities is being conducted. It aims to secure a seismic performance effect during earthquakes by improving the micro-pile method, which can be constructed in limited confined places while minimizing damage to existing facilities. The improvement method is to construct all the piles in the square-tray-type plate on the top of the pile by constructing the slope pile in the form of an umbrella around the vertical pile, the main pillar. In this paper, the numerical analysis was performed to analyze the horizontal displacement behavior of an umbrella-type micropile for various real-measurement seismic waves in sandy soil. As a result of numerical analysis, the softer the ground, the better the effect of horizontal resistance of umbrella-type micropile. The horizontal displacement reduction effect was pronounced when the embedded depth was 15 m or more at the same ground strength, and it was found to be effective in earthquakes if it was settled on the ground with an N value of 30 or more. The embedded depth and horizontal displacement suppression effect of the micropile was proportional. Generally, the weaker the ground, the greater the displacement suppression effect. Umbrella-type micropile had a composite resistance effect in which the vertical pile resists the moment and inclined pile resists the axial force.

현재 경주지진 및 포항지진 발생으로 내진설계기준이 강화되어 기존 시설물에 대한 내진성능평가를 실시하고 있다. 기존 시설물의 피해를 최소화하면서 국한된 협소한 장소에서 시공이 가능한 마이크로파일공법을 개선하여 지진 시 내진성능효과를 확보하고자 한다. 개선방법은 주 기둥인 연직말뚝 주변에 우산형태로 경사말뚝을 시공하여 말뚝 상부의 사각접시형 플레이트에서 말뚝을 모두 일체화하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 수치해석으로 사질토지반에서 다양한 지진파에 대해 우산형 마이크로파일의 수평변위 거동을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 지반이 연약할수록 우산형 마이크로파일의 수평저항력의 효과가 우수하였다. 경사말뚝의 근입심도에 따른 분석결과, 동일한 지반강도에서 근입심도가 15m 이상일 경우에 수평변위 저감 효과가 뚜렷했으며, N치 30 이상의 지반에 정착하면 지진 시에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마이크로파일의 근입심도와 수평변위 억제효과가 비례하였으며, 대체적으로 지반이 약할수록 변위억제 효과가 컸다. 우산형 마이크로파일은 수직말뚝이 모멘트에 대한 저항을 하고, 경사말뚝이 축력에 대한 저항을 하는 복합저항효과가 있었다.
