The waveform micropile is a type of foundation that has a single or multiple shear keys on the pile shaft, and it is constructed through a jet grouting method as a way to increase the shaft resistance of the bonded area between the pile and the soil. In this paper, a geotechnical centrifuge test was performed to study the axial performance of the waveform micropile from other models. The six test models consisted of three waveform micropiles with a single shear key at three different depths, a waveform micropile with multiple shear keys, a conventional micropile, and a jet grouting micropile. Based on the test results, it was clearly shown that the waveform micropile increased in its bearing capacity compared to the other models without the shear key. Additionally, it was observed that the confining pressure for the location of a shear key is directly related to the increase of the bearing capacity.

Various micropiles have been developed through research related to micropiles, which have been carried out with the increased use of micropiles. Among the micropile construction methods being developed, the triaxial micropile (tmp), which is recently developed for the purpose of increasing the horizontal bearing capacity (seismic resistance), is representative. The three-axis micropile has the advantage of a method that can resist horizontal load more effectively because three micropiles installed inclined on each axis resist horizontal load. However, there is a problem in effectively using this pile method due to insufficient research on the support characteristics of the triaxial group micropile. In order to effectively utilize the triaxial group micropile (tmp), it is required to evaluate the bearing capacity for the factors that affect the horizontal bearing capacity of the pile. Therefore, in this study, field horizontal loading Tests were performed for each load direction, field loading Tests were verified through three-dimensional finite element analysis, behavioral characteristics of triaxial micropiles were evaluated, and appropriate horizontal bearing capacity was analyzed in consideration of horizontal load directions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physico-chemical properties of potato starch heated with microwave. Two types of potato starches are prepared; in group A raw potato starch was heated with microwave and in group B potato starch was isolated from potato heated with microwave. Both groups were exposed to the microwave energy in a 560 W, 2,450 MHz oven for 60, 120, 180 and 300 seconds. As the microwave heating time took longer, free lipid decreased and bound lipid increased in both groups. The shape of starch granules, birefrigence and X-ray diffraction pattern were not changed much by microwave heating in both groups. Water binding capacity increased, but amylose content, swelling power and solubility decreased as the microwave heating time took longer. It was also found that the extent of decreases in swelling power and solubility were different between group A and group B.

마이크로파는 전시중에 레이다로서 널리 이용되어 많은 활약을 하여 왔지만 전쟁이 끝남과 동시에 군용레이다의 수요가 격감하여 마이크로파 전문업체는 레이다를 대신하는 용도로서 가열에 이용하는 것을 고안했다. 1945년 미국의 전문업체에서 마이크로파 도파관의 개구부에 옥수수를 놓았더니 이것이 가열되어 부풀어 터지는 것이 관측되었고 계란의 가열을 시도하였으나 급격한 가열로 파열되어 기술자가 상처를 입은 사고가 발생하였다. 그래서 안전성과 효율향상을 목표로 개방된 공간이 아니라 밀폐된 용기중에 마이크로파를 도입하는 방식이 고안되었다. 이렇게 하여 마이크로파 오븐이 탄생하고 이윽고 그것이 발전하여 가정용의 전자렌지가 되고, 턴넬형의 공업용 가열장치가 되어 고무가류, 식품 등의 건조, 냉동육의 해동 등 널리 실용화되었던 것이다.(중략)

마이크로파 주파수는 일반적으로 1㎓-30㎓ 정도로서 주파수가 매우 높기 때문에 도체뿐만 아니라 절연체와 공기 중에서도 전류가 흐르는 성질을 갖는다. 자유공간에서의 마이크로파를 전자파라고도 하며 그 속도는 빛의 속도와 동일하며 자유공간에서 1cm-30cm 파장 범위를 가지므로 센티파라고도 한다. 전자방사(electromagnetic radiation)은 공간을 통하여 시간에 따라 변하는 전자계(electric and magnetic field)에 의한 에너지의 전파(propagation)이며 파동이론과 (wave theory)와 미립자이론(corpuscular theory)에 의해 해석될 수 있다. 전자파 이론(electromagnetic wave theory)의 기초는 1864년 Maxwell이 전자기 현상에 관하여 지배방정식을 수립함으로써 정립되었으며 1888년 Hertz에 의해 마이크로파의 존재가 실험적으로 증명되었다. 이후 마이크로파 기술은 2 차 세계대전을 거치면서 크게 발전하였으며 초기의 레이더 및 통신 등과 같은 군용 기술에서 마이크로파 건조 및 센싱과 같은 산업응용 기술로 발전하게 되었다. 특히 마이크로파 센서기술 및 가열기술은 농업 및 식품분야에 응용되어 마이크로파 응용제품을 선보이게 되었다.

The concrete cap, which was established on the top of the micropile, usually considered as an important structural component in micropile supported foundation systems. However, relatively few studies have been made on the load sharing behavior of the capped micropile foundation systems. The primary objective of this study is to assess the load sharing behavior of the capped micropile foundation systems. Therefore, a full-scale test on an instrumented capped micropile is conducted for establishing the load-displacement responses. Nonlinear numerical method was used to quantify the load sharing behavior of the pile cap and micropile respectively. As a result, it was found that the pile cap shares about 50% load from final loading steps in the case of 2 by 1 micropile foundation systems. In the case of 2 by 2, the pile cap shares about 30% load from final loading steps. In addition, the load sharing behavior of the micropile cap becomes larger with an increase in spacing and the battered angle of micropile respectively.

Micropiles are small, cast-in-place piles with a diameter of 300 mm or less, primarily used to reinforce existing structures and support new constructions. As the application of these piles has expanded, extensive research has been conducted on their bearing characteristics, particularly in micropiled rafts. These studies have consistently demonstrated the positive impact of micropiles on foundation reinforcement. However, previous research often overlooked the potential variations in behavior between micropiled and conventional piled rafts based on different pile conditions. Furthermore, the influence of the cohesive characteristics of the soil layer beneath the foundation on the reinforcing effect of the micropiles has not been adequately addressed. This study, therefore, undertook 3D numerical analysis to assess the reinforcing effect of micropiles, considering both pile conditions and the cohesive characteristics of the soil layer beneath the foundation. The findings revealed that micropiles are significantly more effective in non-cohesive soil layers compared to cohesive ones, with the potential to increase the bearing capacity of the raft by up to 3.7 times.

In this study, we investigated the reinforcing effects of waveform micropiles in a stratigraphic setting comprising buried soil, weathered soil, and weathered rock. We conducted a series of field load tests and determined that waveform micropiles exhibited sufficient bearing capacity through frictional resistance in the soil layer and demonstrated favorable constructability in conditions with deep bedrock layers. Moreover, the vertical stiffness of waveform micropiles was approximately 2.2 times higher than that of conventional micropiles when subjected to the same design load. Pile group load tests comprising conventional and waveform micropiles showed that micropiles with higher stiffness carried a greater proportion of the load. Although there was no significant difference in the bearing capacity between conventional and waveform micropiles under the same design load, waveform micropiles with higher stiffness showed a load-carrying capacity 1.7 to 3.2 times greater than that of conventional micropiles. These findings suggest that waveform micropiles can be effectively used for foundation reinforcement and reduce the risk of foundation failure when increased loads due to modifications such as expansion remodeling are expected.

KBSI 부산센터에 건설중인 소형의 다중 양전하 중이온 가속기에 사용될 초전도 ECR 이온온은 최대 자기장 3 T, 최소 0.5 T의 자기 Mirror구조를 가지고 있으며 중심 부근의 1 T 자기장에서 28 GHz 전자공명에 의해 마이크로파의 에너지를 플라즈마로 전달한다. 최대 10 kW의 Gyrotron에서 TE02 모드로 발생하는 마이크로파는 모드변환기, 직류차단기 및 진공창을 통하여 플라즈마로 입사된다. 32.5 mm 지름의 원형 도파관에서 자기장 축방향으로 도입된 TE01 모드의 마이크로파를 Altar-Appleton-Hartree 분산관계식을 이용하여 군속도의 관점에서 살펴보았다. 플라즈마 밀도가 Cut-off에 근접하지 않는 한 마이크로파의 바깥 방향으로의 회절은 크지 않았으며, 전자공명 위치로 접근함에 따라 군속도의 방향이 바뀌어 오히려 중심 방향으로 향함을 알 수 있다. 즉 마이크로파가 플라즈마 챔버의 벽을 가열시킬 가능성은 크지 않은 것이다. 또한 뜨거운 전자 플라즈마의 Susceptibility를 이용하여 마이크로파의 플라즈마로의 전자 공명에 의한 흡수를 살펴본 결과, 운전 영역에 속하는 전자밀도가 제공되면 공명 지점에 이르기 전에 충분히 흡수되는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 챔버를 관통하여 인출부 벽에 충돌하는 마이크로파 에너지는 무시할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다. 이 결과들을 토대로 마이크로파 시스템을 설계 완료하였다.

The mechanical behavior of a micropile due to horizontal load has not yet clearly identified in Korea. It has generally estimated from that of a traditional pile because there is no standard method even though it has shorter length. To tell the truth, its behavior is very different from a traditional pile's. Specifically, it is general fact that horizontal resistance of earth is one of the main factors to control the mechanical behavior of micropile. To this reason, a laboratory model has been made in this study to estimate the behavior of a micropile which loaded increasingly horizontally. The laboratory model has been designed to estimate both the behavior of load to displacement and skin friction to displacement. And the analysis of the latter was compared with the solution of strain wedge model. In the end, it was proved that the mechanical behavior of a micropile should be estimated from considering the horizontal resistance of earth.
