A Study on the Allowable Bearing Capacity of Pile by Driving Formulas

The estimation of pile bearing capacity is important since the design details are determined from the result. There are numerous ways of determining the pile design load, but only few of them are chosen in the actual design. According to the recent investigation in Korea, the formulas proposed by Meyerhof based on the SPT N values are most frequently chosen in the design stage. In the study, various static and dynamic formulas have been used in predicting the allowable bearing capacity of a pile. Further, the reliability of these formulas has been verified by comparing the perdicted values with the static and dynamic load test measurements. Also, in most cases, these methods of pile bearing capacity determination do not take the time effect consideration, the actual allowable load as determined from pile load test indicates severe deviation from the design value. The principle results of this study are summarized as follows : As a result of estimate the reliability in criterion of the Davisson method, t was showed that Terzaghi & Peck >Chin>Meyerhof > Modified Meyerhof method was the most reliable method for the prediction of bearing capacity. Comparisons of the various pile-driving formulas showed that Modified Engineering News was the most reliable method. However, a significant error happened between dynamic bearing capacity equation was judged that uncertainty of hammer efficiency, characteristics of variable, time effect etc... was not considered. As a result of considering time effect increased skin friction capacity higher than end bearing capacity. It was found out that it would be possible to increase the skin friction capacity 1.99 times higher than a driving. As a result of considering 7 day's time effect, it was obtained that Engineering news, Modified Engineering News, Hiley, Danish, Gates, CAPWAP(CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program) analysis for relation, repectively, $Q_{u(Restrike)} / Q_{u(EOID)} = 0.98t_{0.1}$ , $0.98t_{0.1}$, $1.17t_{0.1}$, $0.88t_{0.1}$, $0.89t_{0.1}$, $0.97t_{0.1}$.

각종 항타공식에 의한 말뚝의 허용지지력 연구

말뚝에 대한 지지력 평가는 재하시험에 의한 결과를 이용하는 것으로부터 정.동력학적 공식등 다양한 방법들이 사용되고 있다 최근의 국내 조사에 의하면 표준관입시험의 N치에 기초한 Meyerhof공식이 설계단계에서 빈번하게 사용되는 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 실시된 다수의 정 동재하시험자료를 가지고 말뚝기초 설계에 사용되는 이론식을 실측값과의 비교를 통해 각종 이론식에 의한 말뚝의 허용지지력 추정의 신뢰성을 알아 보고자 하였다 또한, 경시효과를 고려한 경우 말뚝의 지지력에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 연구가 이루어졌다 본 연구를 통해 얻은 주요 결과로는 Davisson 방법을 기준으로 정도를 평가한 결과, Terzaghi & Peck > Chin > Meyerhof > 수정 Meyerhof 방법순으로 기준값에 근접하였으며 동재하시험결과는 항타공식 중 수정 Engineering News 공식이 가장 실측치에 근접한 결과를 주었으나 이는 해머 효율의 불확실성이라든가 변수의 자체특성, 경시효과등이 고려된 경우에는 다른 결과를 줄 수도 있을 것으로 판단되며, 경시효과를 고려한시험 결과 선단지지력에 비해 주면마찰력이 뚜렷하게 증가하였는데 항타시 대비 주면마찰력은 평균 약 2배정도 증가하였고 Engineering News,수정 Engineering News, Hiley, Danish, Gates, CAPWAP 해석시에 대한 7일의 경시효과를 고려한 관계시은 각각 $Q_{u(Restrike)} / Q_{u(EOID)} = 0.98t_{0.1}$ , $0.98t_{0.1}$, $1.17t_{0.1}$, $0.88t_{0.1}$, $0.89t_{0.1}$, $0.97t_{0.1}$.과 같은 결과를 주었다.
