Abstract

Numerical analysis was conducted to determine the effect of soil behavior by thawing and freezing of seasonal frozen soil on pile foundations. The analysis was performed using the finite element method (FEM) to simulate soil-pile interaction based on the atmosphere temperature change. Thermomechanical coupled modeling using FEM was applied with the temperature-dependent nonlinear properties of the frozen soil. The analysis model cases were applied to the MCR and HDP models to simulate the elastoplastic behavior of soil. The numerical analysis results were analyzed and compared with various conditions having different length and width sizes of the pile. The results of the numerical analysis showed t hat t he HDP model was relat ively passive, and t he aspect and magnit ude of t he bearing capacit y and displacement of the pile head were similar depending on the length and width of the pile conditions. The vertical displacement of the pile head by thawing and freezing of the ground showed a large variation in displacement for shorter length conditions. In the MCR model, the vertical displacement appeared in the maximum thaw settlement and frost heaving of 0.0387 and 0.0277 m, respectively. In the HDP model, the vertical displacement appeared in the maximum thaw settlement and frost heaving of 0.0367 and 0.0264 m, respectively. The results of the pile bearing capacity for the two elastoplastic models showed a larger difference in the width condition than the length condition of the pile, with a maximum of about 14.7% for the width L condition, a maximum of about 5.4% for M condition, and a maximum of about 5.3% for S condition. The significance of the effect on the displacement of the pile head and the bearing capacity depended on the pile-soil contact area, and the difference depended on the presence or absence of an active layer in the soil and its thickness.

계절성 동토의 온도 변화에 따른 융해 및 동결작용에 의한 지반의 거동이 말뚝 기초의 변위 및 지지력에 끼치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석은 온도 변화에 따른 지반-말뚝 상호작용을 모사하기 위해 유한요소법 기반의 TM 모델링(Thermo-Mechanical coupled Modeling)을 적용하였으며, 동결 지반은 온도 의존적 비선형 물성을 적용하였다. 지반의 구성 모델은 소성 거동을 모사하기 위한 MCR 모델(Mohr Coulomb with Rankine Tensile cut-off Model)과 HDP 모델(Nonlinear Hyperbolic Drucker-Prager Model)을 각각 적용하였으며, 말뚝의 길이 및 너비 조건을 선정해 수치해석 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과는 HDP 구성 모델이 비교적 작은 지반 거동과 지지력을 보였으나, 전체적으로는 말뚝의 길이 및 너비 조건에 따라 지지력 및 말뚝 머리의 변위 결과의 양상과 그 크기는 유사하게 나타났다. 지반의 융해-동결작용으로 인한 말뚝 머리(pile head)의 수직 변위는 길이 조건이 짧을수록 변위의 변화 폭이 크게 나타났다. 수직 변위는 길이 조건에 따라 MCR 구성 모델에서는 최대 0.0387m의 융해 침하와 0.0277m의 동결 융기가 발생했으며, HDP 구성 모델에서는 최대 0.0367m의 융해 침하와 0.0264m의 동결 융기가 발생했다. 또한 두 탄소성 모델에 대한 말뚝의 지지력 결과는 말뚝의 길이 조건보다 너비 조건에서 더 큰 차이를 보였으며, 너비 조건 L에서 최대 약 14.7%, M에서 최대 약 5.4%, S에서 최대 약 5.3%가 발생하였다. 이에 말뚝 머리의 수직 변위와 말뚝의 지지력은 말뚝-지반의 접촉 면적에 영향을 크게 받으며, 지반 내 활성층의 활성도에 따라 차이를 보였다.
