프리텐션 방식 원심력 고강도콘크리트 말뚝이 KS F4306 규격에 제정되어 콘크리트의 압축강도가 800kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$ 이상의 제조가 불가한 실정이 것으로 평가 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고강도콘크리트 말뚝 제조에 적용하기 위한 고황산염 시멘트의 실험적 연구로써 석고계 첨가량 및 단위 시멘트량 변화가 증가양생 콘크리트의 제 강도 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과로부터 석고첨가량이 증대하면 콘크리트강도가 향상되지만, 7.5% 이상 첨가시에는 오히려 강도 저하현상이 나타나는 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 단위 시멘트량 변화에 따른 압축강도 영향은 그다지 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한편 최고 압축강도 발현은 석고첨가량 5~7.5% 첨가와 단위시멘트량 500~540kg/㎥ 조건에서 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이상의 고강도 콘크리트 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The structural behavior of a worn tire, attached to carbon fiber steel pile by current and wave forces, has been investigated through the numerical method. The finite element model has been developed, by considering that the composite material of rubber and cord is orthotropic, the rubber is isotropic, and that all the material behaves as linear elastic. The pressure distribution by wave and current, around the worn tire, has been estimated through the adjustment for the concept of flow separation. Also, the structural behavior of the worn tire has been examined, by comparing the situation wherein the space between the pile is reinforced, and tire as elastic and isotropic material, with the one left empty. Through this comparison, it is determined that the space between pile and tire has to be filled with elastic and isotropic material, in order to avoid the failure by wave and current action.

Stone columns is ground improvement method which is composed of compacted gravel or crushed stone inserted into the soft ground consisting of loose sand and clay by replacement method. Generally stone columns are constructed in silty clay, above 70% replacement rate for increasing the bearing capacity and shear strength. Low replacement stone columns method is limited below 30% at replacement rate-premising strength increase of clay ground is estimated efficiently. This study, laboratory model tests were conducted to investigate the consolidation drainage promotion and shear strength increase effect in soft ground with replacement rate by stone columns. The settlement reduction effect and settlement reduction coefficients increase with increasing the replacement rate in composite ground. The results of model tests indicate that consolidation promotion effect is proved. The increasing strength of composite ground was verified by vane shear tests.

Mudstone has characteristics that it has high enough strength and stiffness in a dry condition, but the strength and stiffness decrease in a wet condition with groundwater infiltration. The sliding of cut slope frequently encountered in Pohang area has been reported due to the rapid reduction of shear strength in mudstone after being exposed to the air. The study in this paper shows that mudstone having enough strength in a boring stage has lost the strength after installing PRD (percussion rotary drill) steel pipe pile inducing an insufficient bearing capacity. Field test has been performed to investigate the most favorable method for increasing a pile bearing capacity in mudstone with various methods such as MSG (Micro Silica Grouting) around the tip and side of a pile, the perimeter grouting combined with Micro pile reinforcement, and concrete filling after tip reinforcing grouting. MSG has been turned out to be the most favorable method for increasing a pile bearing capacity in mudstone, confirmed by the static load test.

A theoretical equation is presented to estimate lateral earth pressures acting on piles in a row in cohesive soil. Then. a series of model tests are carried out for various conditions of the piles and the soil to check the validity of the theoretical equation. As a result of the model tests, the validity of an assumption on the plastic state of soil made in the theoretical derivation and the significance of the theoretical values are clarified. And. the experimental and theoretical values give very good agreements for various kinds of soil strength, pile diameters and intervals between piles. Consequently, the theoretical equation can be used to estimate the lateral earth pressures acting on piles in a row when the soil just around piles become a plastic state.

Before and after the test constructions, and after an 11-month hiatus from the pilot pile installations, the in-situ tests (CPT, SPT) were carried out at the ground adjacent to the noise- and vibration-free screw concrete piles installed by 2 kinds of construction methods (i.e., the toe-jetting shoe type, the pre-digging type). In the toe-jetting shoe type construction methods, after construction, the soil strength within 3.5D (where, D = pile diameter) from the pile center decreased greatly by about 46% of the original ground and, after an 11-month hiatus, a strength recovery adjacent to the piles appeared about 71% of the original ground. In the pre-digging type construction methods, a strength recovery adjacent to the piles appeared 100% of the strength of the original ground.

Structural experiment result showed that PHC(d=600mm) Pile used as a common compression member could resist 83.6 ~ 91.6 tonf of ultimate tension force, if the adhesion of P.C. bar of PHC pile to the concrete foundation is strengthened. Considering a proper safety factor to ultimate tension strength, PHC pile can substitute the anti-floating anchor, or reduce the number of anchors. For this purpose, pullout resistance behavior of a Bored pile embedded in real ground as well as structural tension strength of PHC pile must be evaluated. This study performed the static pullout tests to evaluate the pullout behavior of bored pile, and compared the test results with design value of side resistance. To evaluate the pullout resistance easily, static pullout test results were compared with dynamic loading test results using PDA. As a result, cement paste of the bored pile was hardened which is after 15 days, LH side resistance design value corresponded well to the Static pullout test results, also to the side resistance evaluated by dynamic loading test.

Stone column or granular compaction pile have been used in widely during the several decades as a technique to reinforce soft cohesive soils and increase bearing capacity, accelerate consolidation settlement of the foundation soil. The bearing capacity of the granular compaction pile is governed mainly by the lateral confining pressure mobilized in the native soft soil to restrain bulging collapse of the granular pile. Therefore, the technique becomes unfeasible in soft, compressible clayey soils that do not provide sufficient lateral confinement. This paper presents the main results of numerical study of granular compaction pile which is partly mixed with lean concrete. 3D finite element analyses are performed with composite reinforced foundations by both granular compaction pile and partly mixed granular compaction pile with lean-mixed concrete.

This paper presents the results from three-dimensional finite element (FE) analysis undertaken to provide insight into the lateral behaviors of piled gravity base foundation (GBF) for offshore wind turbine. The piled GBF was originally developed to support the gravity based foundation in very soft clay soil. A GBF is supported by five piles in a cross arrangement to achieve additional vertical bearing capacity. This study considered four different cases including a) single pile, b) three-by-three group pile (with nine piles), c) cross-arrangement group pile (with five piles), and d) piled GBF. All the cases were installed in homogenous soft clay soil with undrained shear strength of 20 kPa. From the numerical results, p-y curves and thus P-multiplier was back-calculated. For the group pile cases, the group effect decreased with increasing the number of piles. Interestingly, for the piled GBF, the P-multipliers showed a unique trend, compared to the group pile cases. This study concluded that the global lateral behaviour of the piled GBF was influenced strongly by the interaction between GBF and contacted soil surface.
