A series of model tests and analyses by load transfer function were performed to study load-settlement behaviour with relative compaction ratio of soil and embeded depth of pile. In the model tests, embeded depth ratio(L/D) of pile were installed 15, 20, 25 and relative compaction of soil(RC) is 85%, 95% and then cement were injected at around perimeter of pile. For analysis of embedded pile, the paper were compared results of model tests with analysis results by Vijayvergiya model and Castelli model, Gwizdala model of elastic plasticity-perfect plastic model and then the fitness load transfer mechanism was proposed to predict load-settlement behaviour of embeded pile. The analysis results of predicted bearing capacity by load transfer function, ultimate bearing capacity of embeded pile were approached to measured value and behaviour of initial load-settlement curve were estimated that load transfer function by Castelli were similar to measured value. The result of axial load analysis of bored pile shows that skin friction estimated by load transfer mechanism is investigated more a little than that of measured values.

Rocking behavior of shallow foundation reduces the superstructure load during earthquake. However, because of deficiency of understanding of rocking mechanism and soil permanent deformation, it has not been applied to real construction. In this study, slow cyclic tests were conducted for embedded shallow foundations with various slenderness ratio via centrifuge tests. From the variation of earth pressure 'soil rounding surface' phenomenon which makes maximum overturning moment equal to ultimate moment capacity was observed. Rocking and sliding behavior mechanism was evaluated. Also, nonlinear behavior and energy dissipation increase as rotation angle increases. And ultimate moment capacity of embedded foundation is larger than that of surface foundation. Finally, adequate ultimate moment capacity can be suggested for seismic design through this study.

모래지반의 상대밀도, 말뚝의 시공방법, 일정근입깊이에 따른 소요향타 에너지 그리고 지하수 조건에 따라 말뚝의 지지력과 하중전이를 연구하기 위하여 강관말뚝을 이용한 모형실험을 수행하였다. 매입말뚝은 말뚝을 미리 설치한후에 지반성형을 실시하였고, 타입말뚝은 매입말뚝과 같은 깊이까지 항타높이를 5, 10, 15cm로 달리하여 말뚝을 관입하였다. 그 뒤 정적하중을 단계적으로 가하여 하중-침하 곡선에 의한 모형 말뚝의 지지력과ㅏ 말뚝내의 등간격으로 설치된 변형 게이지를 이용하여 타입말뚝 의 하중전이에 대해 살펴보았다. 타입말뚝의 하중전이시험에서는 항타 전과 항타 후 말뚝내 하중전의 소효항타 에너지에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 매입말뚝의 시험결과는 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 대표적인 정적 지지력 공식들에 의하여 계산되어진 값들과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 상대밀도가 작은 느슨한모래지반에서는 Vesic 공식이 그리고 상대밀도가 큰 조밀한 모래지반에서는 Hanbu 공식이 가장 근접한 평가를 나타내었다. 하중전이시험에 의한 항타시 잔류응력은 모든 경우에서 지표면과 선단부위에서 아주 큰 잔류응력이 나타났고. 말뚝의 선단 지지력비는 상대밀도에 비례하게 증가하였다.

송전철탑의 기초로써 락앵커는 바람에 의해 반복적인 하중을 받고 있다. 반복하중은 락앵커의 인발 지지력 감소와 누적변위의 증가를 유발할 수 있다. 그러므로 송전철탑의 락앵커 설계시 세심한 주의가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 세 가지 암반형태에 시공된 모형 락앵커에 대하여 반복하중 시험을 수행한 결과들을 제시하였다. 시험결과에 의하면 정적 극한하중의 50%보다 작은 최대 반복하중(Q$_{max}$)이 락앵커에 작용할 경우, 락앵커의 지지력에 대하여 반복하중의 영향이 없다. 최대 반복하중이 정적 극한하중의 50%에서 75%로 작용할 경우 누적변위의 증가를 유발하고, 정적 극한하중의 75%이상인 경우 락앵커의 지지력에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 정적 극한하중의 50% 이상의 반복하중을 받는 락앵커는 불안정하다.

Shear test procedure for concrete-dowel interaction was proposed along with determination of dowel support reaction factor or shear spring stiffness constant using the spreadsheet example. For this task, three AASHTO-type standard specimens were prepared to simulate behavior of the jointed concrete pavement. A side support system was adopted to minimize twisting of the test specimen which had been observed in a preliminary test. A typical elastic behavior of the dowel-concrete interaction was observed from several test loops of loading, unloading and reloading procedures. However load versus slab displacement represents to be nonlinear. Test results show that the dowel support reaction factor ranges from 550-880 GN/m3, which is 1.4-2.2 times greater than 407GN/m3 proposed by Yoder and Witczak. This is because less torsional distraction was occurred with the help of a side support system adopted in this experiment. The dowel support reaction factor or shear spring stiffness constant obtained from the procedures proposed in this paper may be used as a reference data for the structural analysis of jointed concrete pavement.

A pile group, that consists of several piles connected by a pile cap, is used as the superstructure. The pile supports vertical and horizontal load to design the pile group, but the effect of bearing capacity of the pile cap has not considered. Various researches have been conducted to reflect the effect of bearing capacity of the pile cap in order to reduce the amount of piles in the range of the stability under the vertical load of the superstructure. However, the effect of bearing capacity under the horizontal seismic load has not been studied adequately. Therefore, a shaking table test was carried out with different-sized pile caps that support the superstructure in this study. This test was to verify the influence of the size of the pile cap in the group pile under the horizontal load. The result shows that the size of the pile cap affects to the dynamic behavior of the superstructure and the pile group. Also, the bigger size of the pile group makes the larger constraint effect of ground, and it results that both the ground and the pile moves as a whole.

The ultimate strengths of reinforced concrete deep beams are governed by the capacity of the shear resistance mechanism composed of concrete and shear reinforcing bars, and the structural behaviors of the beams are mainly controlled by the mechanical relationships according to the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, load and support conditions, and material properties. In this study, a simple indeterminate strut-tie model reflecting all characteristics of the ultimate strengths and complicated structural behaviors is presented for the design of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams. In addition, a load distribution ratio, defined as a magnitude of load transferred by a vertical truss mechanism, is proposed to help structural designers perform the design of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. In the determination of a load distribution ratio, a concept of balanced shear reinforcement ratio requiring a simultaneous failure of inclined concrete strut and vertical steel tie is introduced to ensure the ductile shear failure of reinforced concrete deep beams, and the prime design variables including the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, and compressive strength of concrete influencing the ultimate strength and behavior are reflected upon based on various and numerous numerical analysis results. In the companion paper, the validity of presented model and load distribution ratio was examined by employing them to the evaluation of the ultimate strengths of various simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams tested to failure.

In this study, the characteristics of bearing capacity and deformation of intermediate soils are investigated through centrifuge tests. The experimental parameters are footing width, initial stress condition of soils and relative loading rate defined relationship of loading rate and permeability of soils. It is examined that loading rate influences on the bearing capacities and deformations. Based on the test results, some problem of existing specification are introduced in the view of related loading rates and load intensities. Especially it is showed that load intensities magnitude rlre reversed in the same settlement ratio(s/B(%)), due to partial drained effect as well as loading rates in undrained con dition based on the excess pore pressure and deformations measured under loading.

In order to find out the load bearing behavior of sand and clay which sustain three types of shallow footing, finite element analyses were performed. Failure zone of sand which sustain strip footing was affected by relative density of sand whereas, failure zone of clay was not affected by soil strength and it was similar to the failure zone which is considered in theory. Considering the shape of load-settlement curves obtained by numerical analyses, punching shear failure can be seen in loose sand and ultimate bearing load can not be seen in dense sand whereas, yielding point can be seen in clay. Ultimate bearing loads for sand predicted by theory were greater than those obtained by numerical analyses and ultimate bearing loads for clay predicted by theory were similar to those of numerical analyses. Ultimate bearing loads determined by 1 inch settlement criteria were slightly less than those of numerical analyses.
