볼트와 너트에 대한 초음파비파괴검사는 종파와 사각 횡파 기술을 사용하고 있는데 작은 결함신호는 자사산의 신호와 크기가 비슷해 구분이 되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 나사산의 다중반사신호로부터 결함신호를 구분할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 종파를 사용하였을 경우 균열의 선단신호와 코너에서 반사되는 신호는 진행시간이 거의 같아 중첩되어 나타나지만 균열로 인한 Rayleigh파는 균열의 선단신호와 코너에서 반사되는 신호다음에 결함길이에 따른 미세한 진행시간을 가지고 나타난다. 이와는 다르게 횡파를 사용하였을때의 균열의 선단신호는 코너에서 반사되는 신호보다 앞에 나타난다. 이러한 나사산에 존재하는 결함의 선단신호를 기준으로 순방향 또는 역방향으로 반사되는 신호로부터 작은 결함신호도 구분할 수 있고 그 크기를 정량적으로 계산할 수 있다.

Experimental model studies were carried out to evaluate the end condition for drilled shafts by applying elastic impact on the top of the shaft, which is one of the various methods using stress waves. Typical impact responses corresponding to the various end conditions including free, fixed, rock-socketed, and soft-bottom with good and poor side contact conditions, were investigated. In order to simulate these renditions, mock-up shaft models made of cement mortar were used. Small-scale laboratory experiments were also performed, and field tests were carried out for the shafts that were socketed into weathered rock. It is found that the rock-socketed condition and depth of penetration into rock ran be identified from the reflection at the interface between the soil and rock in the waveform. The soft bottom rendition can be identified, only when the side contact between shaft and surrounding rock is poor, whereas it cannot be identified when the side contact is good because the waveform is similar to that of fixed end rendition.

The influence of the inlet pressure on bearing performance of tilting pad bearings in laminar regime is examined. A simple flow model is presented to calculate the inlet pressure in inlet flow that occurs at a short distance ahead of the bearing inlet. The bearing performances are obtained, load capacity, friction torque and lubricated flow-rate, etc, numerically for the inlet pressure boundary conditions with and without pressure jump. The computed results of both cases show that bearing performance and the optimum pivot position changes remarkably according to the bearing operating conditions. The influence of the inlet pressure on bearing performance must be considered to analyze the bearing performance precisely.

Recently a concept of pile-tip enlarged PHC pile (Ext-PHC pile), for use in the auger-drilled construction method, has been developed and is being implemented in practice. A series of field axial load tests on both PHC and Ext-PHC piles were conducted at an experimental site. In addition, a parametric study on a number of influencing factors was made using a validated finite element model. The field axial load tests indicated an enhanced load-settlement characteristics for the Ext-PHC piles compared with the PHC piles, giving approximately 50% increase in the end bearing capacity. Also found in the results of the parametric study was that the increase in the end bearing capacity of Ext-PHC piles slightly varies with the mechanical properties of supporting ground as well as pile length, in the range of 1.25 to 1.4 time that of PHC. Overall, the results of the field tests as well as the numerical study confirmed that the end bearing capacity of PHC pile can be improved by the concept of.Ext-PHC pile.

The end bearing capacity of rock-socketed drilled shafts under axial loading is investigated by Hoek-cell tests and a numerical analysis. From the test results, it was found that the ultimate end bearing capacity ($q_{max}$) was influenced by pile diameter, rock mass modulus and the spacing of discontinuity. A new ultimate end bearing capacity method is proposed by taking end bearing capacity influence factors, including rock mass discontinuity, based on field data. Through comparisons with other field data, the proposed $q_{max}$ method represents a definite improvement in the prediction of ultimate end bearing capacity of rock-socketed drilled shafts.

비검측공 시험법을 현장타설말뚝의 건전도 평가 목적으로 적용함에 있어서 시험법의 적용성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 같은 맥락에서 수행되어 온 일련의 해석적 연구 결과 중 시험법의 해상도에 관한 문제와 말뚝 주변 및 선단지반의 강성이 비검측공 시험결과에 미치는 영향에 관해 다루었다. 본 논문에서 수행한 연구결과에 의하면 충격응답기법의 해상도를 평가하기 위해서는 말뚝재료에 대한 지반의 강성비($V_{s}$ /$V_{c}$)와 말뚝의 길이에 대한 직경의 비(L/D)에 의존하는 기존 평가기준에 부가하여 말뚝의 상대적인 체적변화가 필히 고려되어야 한다는 결론을 얻었다. 한편, 말뚝이 수평으로 층이 진 주변 지반을 통과하여 말뚝선단부를 지지하는 지반(선단지반)에 근입되거나 지지되는 경우에 말뚝의 자유단 혹은 고정단 경계 조건은 주변 지반과 선단 지반의 강성비와 선단 지반에 대한 말뚝의 근입깊이에 따라 변화한다는 사실을 규명하였다. 말뚝의 건전도 평가 시에 사용하게 되는 말뚝의 공진주파수가 이들 조건에 따라 변화하므로 결과적으로 시험결과분석에 있어서 이들 영향이 필히 고려되어야 한다는 결론을 얻었다.

A base expansion micropile was developed to improve the bearing capacity of the micropile, which bears a simple device installed at the pile base. Under an axial load, this base expansion structure radially expands at the pile tip and attaches itself around ground, compressing the boring wall in the construction stage. In this study, conventional and base expansion micropiles were constructed in the weathered rock where micropiles are commonly installed. Further, field load tests were conducted to verify the bearing capacity enhancement effect. From the load test results, it was revealed that the shaft resistance of base expansion micropiles was about 12% higher than that of conventional micropiles. The load transfer analysis results also showed that compared to conventional micropiles, the unit skin friction and unit end bearing of base expansion micropiles were 15.4% and 315.1% higher, respectively, in the bearing zone of the micropile.

New PHC piles, where short steel pipes are attached to the pile toe, are developed to increase the base load capacity of bored pre-cast piles embedded in weathered rock. In this study, new bored pre-cast piles using the new PHC piles are installed at 7 test sites with different soil conditions, and static and dynamic pile load tests are performed to investigate quantitative characteristics on the base load capacity of new bored pre-cast piles. In addition, based on the static pile load test results, a new empirical equation for estimating the base load capacity of new bored pre-cast piles is proposed. A comparison between predicted and measured base load capacities shows that the proposed empirical equation produces conservative predictions for the new bored pre-cast piles. However, the existing design criterion significantly underestimates the base load capacity of new bored pre-cast piles.

In this study, the impact of pile tip geometry, including shape, size, and angle, on the drivability and stress concentration during pile driving was investigated using 3D printing technology and finite element numerical analysis. A series of field loading tests were conducted on a test pile with various pile tip conditions, including width, angle, and shape. The changes in settlement were quantified as a ratio to the settlement of a conventional pile tip case and large deformation finite element analysis was used to investigate the maximum stress on a pile tip and the location of possible damage during pile driving. The results showed that by modifying the shape, size, and angle of the pile tip, the drivability of the pile could be improved and the maximum stress concentration around the pile tip could be significantly reduced, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the pile during pile driving.
