As buildings increase in height, lifting plans are becoming increasingly important on construction sites. As a critical piece of load-lifting equipment, the tower crane deserves a well thought-out stability review, since it has a significant impact and is very vulnerable to structural safety disaster. To ensure the structural stability of a tower crane, its lateral support or pile supported foundation designs must include consideration for stability, and pile foundation must be used if site conditions prevent soil from providing the required bearing capacity, or prevent the foundation from being increased to the required extent. Pile supported foundation design requires thorough and systematic review, as more stability parameters need to be considered than with an independent foundation. This paper intends to develop an optimal design algorithm that can minimize associated costs while ensuring the fundamental stability of pile supported foundation design, limiting the scope of research to fixed-type trolley tower cranes using pile supported foundations. The findings herein on pile foundation stability review parameters, process and optimal design are expected to improve the operational efficiency of staff concerned, and reduce the time and efforts required for pile foundation design.

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.

본 연구에서는 토목분야에서 중요한 문제가 되는 기초 파일의 깊이 탐지와 관련하여 시추공 자력탐사의 적용성을 확인하기 위하여 시추공 자력탐사 모형 반응 계산 및 역산 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 모형 반응 계산은 시추공 자력탐사에 적합하고 삼성분 이상을 계산할 수 있도록 기존의 방법을 수정하였으며, 역산 알고리즘은 일반적인 자력탐사 자료 역산의 불안정성을 고려하여 광역적 최적화 기법의 하나임 ASA(Adaptive Simulated Annealing : Ingber, 1993)를 이용하였다. 개발된 모형 반응 및 역산 알고리즘을 간단한 모형 및 합성자료에 대해 적용한 결과 그 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다. 또한 실제 현장에서 부딪힐 수 있는 무작위 잡음을 첨가한 자료, 주변 파일의 영향 및 지표 구조물에 의한 영향을 고려한 복잡한 모형에 대해 기초 파일의 깊이를 탐지해 낼 수 있었으며, 이를 토대로 실제 현장 적용시 고려해야할 현장지침에 대해서도 고찰할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 실제 현장자료에 적용한 결과 실제 파일의 깊이를 역산해 낼 수 있음을 확인함으로써, 기초 파일의 깊이 탐지를 위한 시추공 자력탐사의 적용성 및 본 알고리즘의 현장 적용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

대형 구조물의 기초 시공 시 구조물의 하부지반이 불균질하거나 경사진 지반 또는 일반토사와 암반이 혼재된 지지력이 급격히 변화하는 구간에서 시공되는 경우가 많으며 이와 같은 경우에는 경제적인 최적의 방안으로 직접기초와 말뚝기초를 혼용하여 사용하는 방안이 필요하다. 그러나 일반적으로 기초의 안정성 확보를 위해 보수적으로 말뚝기초를 적용하는 경우가 대부분이며 소규모의 아파트 기초현장에서는 부분적으로 이질기초가 적용되나 이에 대한 보강이나 안정성 검토는 형식적으로 이루어지는 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서는 직접기초와 파일기초가 적용되는 이질기초에 대한 수치해석을 통하여 이질기초 적용 시 기초 및 하부지반에 대한 거동을 평가하여, 이질기초에 대한 적용가능성 여부 및 기초하부에서의 개략적인 거동에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.

With the increasing usages of micropile, several researchers have been studying the bearing characteristics of micropile or micropile-raft system. But most cases of research were focused on the bearing capacity of micropile-raft system on sand layer. And it was not considered that the bearing capacity of micropile-raft system was affected by the failure mode of soil and pile installation conditions. Thereby this study conducted the numerical analysis to estimate the bearing capacity of micropile-raft system on sand or silt layer with different shear failure mode. It was found that the bearing capacity of micropile-raft system installed in positive or negative angle was larger than that of the system installed in vertical angle, in the case of the sand layer undergoing the general shear failure. In the case of silt layer undergoing the punching shear failure, the bearing capacity of micropile-raft system installed only in negative angle was larger than that installed in vertical or positive angle. And the bearing capacity of foundation system in positive angle was similar to the vertical micropile-raft system.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the normalized behaviors of existing bridge foundations reinforced by micropiles. In order to do numerical method a finite element program was used to predict the micropile behavior and quantify their reinforcing effects on existing bridge foundations. In addition, the installation effects of battered micropiles on existing foundations were compared with vertically reinforced bridge foundations. Based on the study performed, it was found that the use of battered micropiles more efficiently reduces displacement of existing foundations than vertically installed micropiles under vertical and horizontal loadings, respectively. The batter angle of micropiles was also found to be most effective at about $15^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$ in reducing the vertical displacement. The horizontal reinforcing effect continues to be larger with an increase in batter angles. So, it is believed that the results presented could give an idea to enhance In-service performance of existing bridge foundations reinforced by micropiles.

Dynamic analysis of lateral pile under seismic loading is performed in this paper. As an analytical model, the Bean-on-twinkler Foundation Model is used for this study because of its simplicity and acceptible accuracy . The method suggested by Kagawa and Kraft, which can account for non-linear effects, is used for the dynamic P-y relationship This relationship is found to be the most important factor in analysis . Group pile effects are also considered approximately The results of dynamic analysis show that a pile without supporting mass follows the soil movement ; in the case of a pile with supporting mass, the relative displacement between the soil and the pile occurs . When designing piles, it must be considered that piles have to resist the curvatures originated by the soil movement.

The purpose of the study was to examine the vocational competency of students enrolled in vocational high schools including specialized vocational high school and meister vocational high school, and vocation program of general high school. We analyzed their vocational competency, based upon the vocational competency data of KCCI (Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry). The results were as follow. First, latent profiles of subjects were categorized into four folds: general cognition-low adaption, cognition adaption general, pursuit of job adaption, low cognition-job mal-adaption. Each percentage of four groups was 39%, 30%, 11%, and 20%. Second, mainly, specialized vocational high school pattern is matched with vocational high schools' pattern. However, the cognitive competency of students in meister vocational high school was higher than that of student in vocation program of general high school. Third, latent profile group was clarified in terms of non-cognition aspect. Fourth, The higher the job adaption is, the higher the career decision level. We suggested some policy implications for improve the vocational competency.
