고강도 H말뚝은 다른 말뚝에 비해 관입성이 우수하며, 경제적으로 시공이 가능하여 도로공사 및 건축공사의 기초말뚝으로 광범위하게 전세계적으로 사용되어지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고강도 H말뚝, 강관말뚝 및 PHC 말뚝에 정재하시험과 동재하시험을 실시하여 허용지지력을 비교 분석하였으며, 각각의 말뚝에 대한 동재하시험을 통해 시간경과효과를 평가하였다. 정재하시험과 동재하시험을 비교 분석한 결과 하중-침하곡선이 유사한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 고강도 H말뚝, 강관 말뚝, PHC 말뚝이 지반내에 향타되었을 때의 허용지지력은 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 평가되었다. 재하시험 결과 시간경과효과로 인해 지반의 허용지지력이 상승됨을 알 수 있어 앞으로 기초말뚝 설계시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, a method is presented for estimating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). By applying Winkler-springs for accounting for the compatibility between soil blocks, the proposed method can estimate the state of stress at failure surface and the ultimate bearing capacity. For the investigation of the application of the method, example problems about shallow foundations on the single layer and two layers soil are analyzed.

Various prediction methods for the bearing capacity of helical piles have been introduced with consideration of both the steel shaft and the helix plates attached to the shaft. In this paper, three representative methods, that is, individual bearing method, cylindrical shear method, and torque correlation method are discussed and compared to each other. The prediction methods were verified by comparing with a series of loading test results performed on moderate-size helical piles from the companion paper. As a result, the measured bearing capacity is greater than the bearing capacity predicted by the cylindrical shear method, but smaller than that of the individual bearing method. In addition, the bearing capacity predicted by the torque correlation method is in good agreement with the measured bearing capacity.

풍화토 지반에 설치된 그라운드 앵커의 하중전이 현상을 규명하기 위하여 성균관대학교 지반시험장에서 인발시험을 수행하였다. 지반과 구조물을 일체화시키는데 사용하는 앵커는 앵커체와 지반의 마찰력에 의해서 구조물을 지지하는 역할을 하며 앵커의 하중과 변형의 관계를 규명하기 위해서는 앵커의 마찰력 분포의 변화(하중전이)가 중요한 요소가 된다. 하중 재하시 앵커체에 발생하는 하중전이 분포는 앵커의 인발 지지력과 밀접한 관계가 있고 앵커체의 종류(인장형 또는 압축형), 정착장의 길이, 지반 조건 등에 따라 분포 양상이 변하기 때문에 하중전이를 이해하기 위해서는 강선과 그라우트의 하중분포 그리고 앵커 그라우트체와 지반과의 마찰력 분포를 알아야 한다. 앵커의 자유장의 강선에 작용하는 응력, 그라우트체에 작용하는 응력, 그리고 정착장 강선의 응력을 계측하여 강선과 그라우트의 정착응력 및 그라우트와 지반에서의 마찰력 분포를 구함으로써 강선-그라우트-지반의 복합적인 거동에 따른 각 하중 단계마다의 하중전이 분포를 구하였다. 또한 현장시험 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 수치해석 모델링을 통하여 해석을 수행하여 비교하였다.

설계 하중이 큰 대형 구조물의 기초로 많이 사용되는 현장타설말뚝은 현장에서 지반을 굴착하여 조립된 철근망을 삽입한 후, 콘크리트를 타설하여 제작되므로 복잡한 시공 과정과 현장의 특수한 지하수 및 지반 조건으로 인하여 현장타설말뚝의 내부에는 결함이 포함될 수 있다. 발생 가능한 대표적인 결함으로 연약한 말뚝 선단, 말뚝체 콘크리트의 품질 저하, 말뚝과 지반의 접촉 불량, 주 철근의 부식 등이 있으며, 이들 결함을 감지하기 위한 건전도 시험법으로 공대공초음파 검층, 충격반향시험, 충격응답시험, 감마-감마 검층법 등이 있다. 결함은 말뚝의 수평지지력을 감소시키며, 일반적으로 발생하는 비대칭단면 결함에 의한 응력 집중현상과 수평 하중에 의한 휨모멘트는 연직지지거동에 영향을 준다. 따라서 결함을 감지하고 평가하는 것이 현장타설말뚝의 품질관리에 있어 매우 중요하다.

Axial behavior of tapered piles is affected by taper angle, stress state of soils, soil frictional angle and pile-soil interface friction angle. In this paper, a series of model pile load tests were performed using a calibration chamber in order to investigate the effect of taper angle on the axial response of cast-in-place tapered piles in sand. According to results of the tests, as taper angle of piles increased, the shaft load capacity of piles increased but its base load capacity decreased. The unit base load capacity of piles increased with increasing taper angle for medium sand but decreased for dense sand. The ratio of shaft to total load capacity increased with increasing taper angle and with decreasing relative density of soils. The test results also showed that total load capacity per unit pile volume increased with increasing taper angle for medium sand, but it decreased for dense sand. Therefore, it can be stated that tapered piles are economically more beneficial for medium sand than for dense sand.

Stone column is a soil improvement method and can be applicable for loose sand or weak cohesive soil. Since the lack of sand, stone column seems one of the most adaptable approach for poor ground as a soil improvement technique. However, this method was not studied for practical application. In this paper, the bearing capacity of single stone column at the Gaduk, Ulsan and Gwangyang under the bulging and general shear failure mode were compared with those of the suggested formulas. Especially, a test result of single stone column at the Busan area by static load was compared with the bearing capacity of suggested formulas. The analysis results showed that there were not much bearing capacity differences among those suggested bearing capacity formulas. However, the bearing capacity by static load test was almost double of those with suggested formula. The result also showed that the undrained shear strength was the most important parameter for the bearing capacity estimation of stone column.

The bearing capacity of drilled shaft is affected by several factors, such as shaft length, shape, surface roughness, young's modulus of geomaterials and shaft, soil strength, confining stress and so on. However, there has been no design method of drilled shaft considering all factors mentioned above. Moreover, since geomaterials are simply classified as sand, clay and rock, there was no design criterion for IGM (Intermediate Geomaterials). Therefore, the rigorous design approach of drilled shaft was not possible by classical design method. However, since these characteristics were not considered in classical theories, bearing capacity was generally different ken practical value. In this study, the bearing capacity of drilled shaft with the IGM's theory was compared with those of classical theories. The results showed that classical method showed smaller values of bearing capacity than those of field load transfer data. Moreover, the evaluated value of bearing capacity with IGM theory corresponded fairly well with those of field data.

This study, as basic research which was intended to develope the surface reinforcement method using reinforcement material which is applicable to very soft ground in Korea, was aimed at proposing Bearing Capacity Evaluation method for the surface ground improvement method. To that end, a wide width tensile test using geotextile, geogrid and steel bar (substitute for bamboo) and 21 kinds of the laboratory model tests with the end restraint conditions of the reinforcement that comprises the constrained and partially constrained (3 types) conditions were conducted. According to result of tests, Terzaghi's bearing capacity method is adequate to calculate bearing capacity in non-stiff material(geotextile, geogrid). But, It can't adequate to stiff material(bamboo net). So, New bearing capacity method suggest surface reinforcement method of very soft ground which Terzaghi's bearing capacity method modify for effect of stiffness.

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.
