Dynamic interaction of the ground-foundation-structure must be considered for safety of earthquake resistant design for piles supported structures. The p-y curve, which is proposed in the static load and cyclic load cases, is used for the earthquake resistant design of piles. The p-y curve does not consider dynamic interaction of the ground-foundation-structure on dynamic load cases such as earthquake. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the p-y curve to earthquake resistant design. The dynamic p-y curve by considering dynamic interaction of the ground-foundation-structure has been studied, and researches had same conditions that pile caps were on the ground surface and superstructures were added on pile caps for the simple weight. However, group piles are normally embedded into the ground except for marine structures, so it seems that the embedding the pile cap influences on the dynamic p-y curve of group piles. In this study, the shaking table model test was conducted to confirm dynamic behavior of group piles by the embedded pile cap in the ground. The result showed that dynamic behavior was different between two cases by embedding the pile cap or not.

강진에 의한 원전구조물의 동적해석시 지반의 비선형특성은 반드시 고려해야 할 사항이다. 지반의 비선형특성은 지반-구조계의 동적응답을 구하는 과정에서 가장 중요한 요소중의 하나며 이를 고려한 비선형 지진해석은 일반적으로 매우 복잡하고 정해를 구하기가 매우 어려운 문제다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 해법으로 널리 사용되고 있는 등가선형화방법을 사용하여 계측결과가 있는 TEPSCO 비선형 지진문제를 해석하였으며 이 방법의 정확도와 적용성을 분석하였다. 아울러 축대칭기법을 사용하여 비선형지진해석을 수행할때의 문제점에 관해서도 검토하였다.

This study explores methods for modeling the foundation-seabed interaction needed for the load analysis of an offshore wind energy system. It comprises the comparison study of foundation design load analyses for NREL 5 MW turbine according to various soil-foundation interaction models by conducting the load analysis with GH-Bladed, analysis software for offshore wind energy systems. Furthermore, the results of the aforementioned load analysis were applied to foundation analysis software called L-Pile to conduct a safety review of the foundation cross-section design. Differences in the cross-section of a monopile foundation were observed based on the results of the fixed model, winkler spring and coupled spring models, and the analysis of design load cases, including DLC 1.3, DLC 6.1a, and DLC 6.2a. Consequently, under all design load conditions, the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were found to be 7 m and 80 mm, respectively, using the fixed and coupled spring models; the results of the analysis conducted using the winkler spring model showed that the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were 5 m and 60 mm, respectively. The study found that the soil-foundation interaction modeling method had a significant impact on the load analysis results, which determined the cross-section of a foundation. Based on this study, it is anticipated that designing an offshore wind energy system foundation taking the above impact into account would reduce the possibility of a conservative or unconservative design of the foundation.

In this paper, a coupling scheme for applying finite element analysis(FEA) programs, such as, LS-DYNA and MIDAS/Civil, to a nonlinear soil structure interaction analysis by the boundary reaction method(BRM) is presented. With the FEA programs, the structure and soil media are discretized by linear or nonlinear finite elements. To absorb the outgoing elastic waves to unbounded soil region as much as possible, the PML elements and viscous-spring elements are used at the outer FE boundary, in the LS-DYNA model and in MIDAS/Civil model, respectively. It is also assumed that all the nonlinear elements in the problem are limited to structural region. In this study, the boundary reaction forces for the use in the BRM are calculated using the KIESSI-3D program by solving soil-foundation interaction problem subjected to incident seismic waves. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated with a linear SSI seismic analysis problem by comparing the BRM solution with the conventional SSI solution. Numerical comparison indicates that the BRM can effectively be applied to a nonlinear soil-structure analysis if motions at the foundation obtained by the BRM for a linear SSI problem excluding the nonlinear structure is conservative.

강진을 고려한 지진설계 규준은 약진지역에서는 불필요한 경제적 손실을 가져올 수 있고, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 성능기준 설계가 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서 중요하다는 것이 인식되었다. 이 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 놓인 단자유도계의 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 해석을 지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대지진가속도를 0.07g와 0.11g로 조정한 11개 중, 약진에 대해 수행하였다. 지진 응답해석은 지반-구조물체계에 대해 유사 3차원 동적해석 프로그램으로 암반에 지진기록을 입력하여 한 단계에 일괄적으로 수행하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 고정지반이나 선형지반을 가정한 지진응답 스펙트럼은 구조물-지반체계의 실제적인 거동을 보여주지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서는 지진규준에 정해진 일상적인 설계절차에 따라서 수행하는 것보다 다른 성질을 가진 여러 지반에 대해서 성능기준 지진설계를 수행하는 것이 필요하다. 약진을 받는 연약지반의 비선형성도 입력지진동을 증폭시켜 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 스펙트럼에 심하게 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 현상은 특히 탄성 응답스펙트럼에서 두드러졌다.

Structures such as bridge columns installed on the asymmetric ground such as mountain areas and sloping ground are subject to various loads such as wind, temperature, earthquake, and etc. The pile foundation is generally applied to bridge columns on the asymmetric ground in order to stably support structures. The behavior of the pile foundation supporting bridge columns changes due to various load conditions. In particular, ground-pile-structure interactions should be studied to analyze the behavior of the pile foundation that supports bridge columns effected by dynamic loads such as earthquakes. The pile foundation installed on the asymmetric ground effected by the earthquake has the complicated dynamic interaction between the foundation and the ground due to the ground slope, the difference in soil resistance according to the shaking direction, and the ground movements. In this study, the 1g shaking table tests were conducted to confirm the effect of the slope of the sloping ground on the dynamic behavior of group piles supporting the superstructure installed at the berm of the sloping sandy soil which is the asymmetric ground. The result shows that the acceleration of the pile cap and the superstructure decrease as the slope of the sloping ground increase, and the slope of the dynamic p-y curve of the pile decrease.
