Abstract

Various micropiles have been developed through research related to micropiles, which have been carried out with the increased use of micropiles. Among the micropile construction methods being developed, the triaxial micropile (tmp), which is recently developed for the purpose of increasing the horizontal bearing capacity (seismic resistance), is representative. The three-axis micropile has the advantage of a method that can resist horizontal load more effectively because three micropiles installed inclined on each axis resist horizontal load. However, there is a problem in effectively using this pile method due to insufficient research on the support characteristics of the triaxial group micropile. In order to effectively utilize the triaxial group micropile (tmp), it is required to evaluate the bearing capacity for the factors that affect the horizontal bearing capacity of the pile. Therefore, in this study, field horizontal loading Tests were performed for each load direction, field loading Tests were verified through three-dimensional finite element analysis, behavioral characteristics of triaxial micropiles were evaluated, and appropriate horizontal bearing capacity was analyzed in consideration of horizontal load directions.

마이크로파일의 활용증가로 수행되었던 마이크로파일의 관련연구를 통해 다양한 마이크로파일이 개발되어왔다. 개발되고 있는 마이크로파일 공법들 중 최근 수평지지력(내진저항력)의 증가를 위한 목적으로 개발된 삼축 마이크로파일(Triaxial micropile, TMP)이 대표적이라 할 수 있다. 삼축 마이크로파일은 각축에 경사지게 설치된 3개의 마이크로파일이 수평하중에 저항하므로 좀 더 효과적으로 수평하중에 저항할 수 있는 공법의 장점이 있다. 그러나 삼축 마이크로파일에 대한 지지특성에 대한 연구가 부족하여 이 파일공법을 효과적으로 활용하는데 문제가 있다. 즉, 삼축 마이크로파일(TMP)의 효과적인 활용을 위해서는 파일의 수평지 지력에 영향을 주는 요인에 대한 지지력 평가가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하중 방향별 현장수평재하시험을 수행하고 3차원 유한요소해석을 통해 현장 재하시험을 검증하고 거동 특성을 고찰하였으며, 수평하중의 방향을 고려한 적정한 수평지지력을 분석하였다.
