초록

본 연구에서는 개단말뚝의 항타 과정을 이산요소해석법(DEM)으로 모델링하여 관내토의 거동을 분석하였다. DEM 모델 검증을 위해 모형말뚝시험과 수치해석 결과를 비교하였으며, 입자 간 회전 저항력을 고려한 접촉모델을 적용하여 흙 입자 간 상호작용을 검증하였다. 2차원 원형 입상재료의 상대밀도와 말뚝의 관입 속도를 조절하여 관내토의 압축 거동을 성공적으로 모사하였으며, 초기 관입 속도가 감소할수록 관내토가 더 압축되는 경향을 확인하였다. DEM 모델을 통해 관내토 길이와 관내토 길이 지표인 Plug Length Ratio(PLR), Incremental Filling Ratio(IFR)를 분석하였으며, 이를 모형시험 결과와 비교하여 개단말뚝의 관내토 거동을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 관내토의 폐색상태를 직접 반영하여 개단말뚝의 거동을 분석할 수 있는 이산요소해석법을 활용한 모델을 개발하였으며, 그 모델링 과정와 검증 방법을 상세히 소개하여 향후 연구의 시행착오를 줄이는 데 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

This study used the discrete element method (DEM) to model the driving process of open-ended piles and investigate the behavior of soil plug during pile penetration. The developed DEM model was verified by comparing model pile test results and numerical analysis, particularly using a contact model considering rolling resistance between soil particles. The study successfully simulated soil compression inside the pile by adjusting the relative density and penetration velocity, and it was confirmed that the soil plug tended to be more compressed as the initial penetration velocity decreased. Soil plug length measurements, plug length ratio, and incremental filling ratio were analyzed and validated against experimental results. The developed DEM model aims to reduce trial and error in further studies by detailing the modeling and verification process.
