Numerical analysis is a powerful method in evaluating the soil-pile-structure interaction under the dynamic loading, and this approach has been applied to the practical area due to the development of computer technology. Finite Difference Method, one of the most popular numerical methods, is sensitive to the shape and the number of mesh. However, the trial and error approach is conducted to obtain the accurate results and the reasonable simulation time because of the lack of researches about mesh size and the number. In this study, FLAC 3D v3.1 program(FDM) is used to simulate the dynamic pile model tests, and the numerical results are compared with the 1G shaking table tests results. With the different size and shape of mesh, the responses of pile behavior and the simulation time are estimated, and the optimum mesh sizes in dynamic analysis of single pile is studied.

We analyzed the 3-D characteristics of the dynamic response of seabed around a submerged breakwater due to wave loading using a 3-D numerical scheme (LES-WASS-3D). Using our model, which considers the wave-structure-sandy seabed interactions in a 3-D wave field, we were able to investigate the 3-D characteristics of the pore-water pressure in the seabed around the submerged breakwater under various incident wave conditions. To verify the 3-D numerical analysis method suggested in this study, we compared the numerical results with the existing experimental results and found good agreement between them. The numerical analysis reveals that high pore-water pressure in the seabed is generated below a large wave height at the front slope of the submerged breakwater. It was also shown that the non-dimensional pore-water pressure in the seabed increases as the wave period increases because the wave energy dissipation decreases on the submerged breakwater and seabed as the wave period increases.

3차원 유한요소 프로그램(PLAXIS 3D)를 이용한 수치해석을 통하여 동적표면하중 하에서지반-말뚝 구조물의 상호작용을 평가하였다. 수치해석에 의한 진동대 실험 형태의 하중조건 및 지반시스템에 대한 동적 p-y곡선을 산정하고 이를 통하여 말뚝-지반의 조건, 말뚝의 선단부 조건, 재하조건 등을 고려하여 매개변수 연구를 하였다. 그 결과 주파수 1.4Hz 입력 진동수가 모형 말뚝-지반 시스템의 고유진동수 1.4Hz와 거의 일치하여 공진 현상이 발생하여서 다른 진동수의 결과와 비교시 다른 p, y 값을 보이고 있다. P-y 곡선에서 이를 대표할 수 있는 경향선을 나타내는 3차 다항함수로 표현하여 결과를 정리하였다. 특히 단독 말뚝의 경우 지배적인 곡선의 형태가 수학적인 증명을 통해 타원(ellipse)임을 밝혀냈다. P-y곡선의형태가 타원인 경우는 타원 방정식을 직접 지반-구조물의 동적설계나 해석에 이용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

Dynamic numerical simulation of pile-supported slab track system embedded in a soft soil and embankment was performed. 3D model was formulated in a time domain to consider the non-linearity of soil by utilizing FLAC 3D, which is a finite difference method program. Soil non-linearity was simulated by adopting the hysteric damping model and liner elements, which could consider soil-pile interface. The long period seismic loads, Hachinohe type strong motions, were applied for estimating seismic respose of the system, Parametric study was carried out by changing subsoil layer profile, embankment height and seismic loading conditions. The most of horizontal permanent displacement was initiated by slope failure. Increase of the embedded height and thickness of the soft soil layer leads increase of member forces of PHC piles; bending moment, and axial force. Finally, basic guidelines for designing pile-supported slab track system under seismic loading are recommended based on the analysis results.

The power plant is a major infrastructure composed of essential machinery such as Turbine Generators (TG), Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), etc. Particularly, Combined Heat & Power Plants (CHP) are highly efficient power plants that simultaneously produce heat and electricity. Recently, cases have emerged where railway tunnels are being constructed beneath such power plants due to the underground development of urban rail transportation. Therefore, there is a pressing need to assess the impact of vibrations induced by blasting excavation during the construction of railway tunnels beneath the power plant, as well as the vibrations during railway operation, on the major machinery foundations and structures within the power plant. In this study, criteria for evaluating the vibration impact on key vibration-sensitive structures are summarized, and evaluation standards based on international criteria are established. Based on this, the study examines the vibration impact during the blasting excavation method of NATM tunnels beneath the operational power plant. Furthermore, subsequent railway operation, specifically focusing on the impact of train vibrations on Turbine foundations, Pump foundations, and District Heating pipelines using 3D dynamic numerical analysis. The results indicate that vibration values corresponding to up to 97.3% of the evaluation criteria are derived based on the numerical analysis. However, considering the significance of power plant-related structures, additional measures to reduce vibrations are proposed, including further test blasting, alteration of blasting patterns, reducing the charge per delay, or decreasing advance.

The present study numerically analyzed the dynamic behavior of 3D framed structures subject to impulsive slamming forces by violent breaking waves. The structures were modeled using multiple lumped masses for the vertical projections of each member, and the slamming forces from the breaking waves were concentrated on these lumped masses. A numerical algorithm was developed to properly incorporate the slamming forces into a dynamic analysis to numerically determine the structural responses. Then, the validity of the numerical analysis was verified using the results of an existing hydraulic experiment. The numerical and experimental results for various model structures were generally in good agreement. The uncertainties concerning the properties of the breaking waves used in the verification are also discussed here.

PURPOSES : To solve problems in current compaction control DCPT(Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test), highly correlated with various testing methods, simple, and economic is being applied. However, it、s hard to utilize DCPT results due to the few numerical analyses for DCPT have been performed and the lack of data accumulation. Therefore, this study tried to verify the validation of numerical modeling for DCPT by comparing and analyzing the results of numerical analyses with field tests. METHODS: The ground elastic modulus and PR(Penetration Rate) value were estimated by using PFC(Particle Flow Code) 3D program based on the discrete element method. Those values were compared and analyzed with the result of field tests. Also, back analysis was conducted to describe ground elastic modulus of field tests. RESULTS : Relative errors of PR value between the numerical analyses and field tests were calculated to be comparatively low. Also, the relationship between elastic modulus and PR value turned out to be similar. CONCLUSIONS : Numerical modeling of DCPT is considered to be suitable for describing field tests by carrying out numerical analysis using PFC 3D program.

In the present case study, High Strain Dynamic Testing of piles is conducted at 3 different locations of Kolkata city of India. The raw field data acquired is analyzed using Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and CAPWAP (Case Pile Wave Analysis Programme) computer software and load settlement curves along with variation of force and velocity with time is obtained. A finite difference based numerical software FLAC3D has been used for simulating the field conditions by simulating similar soil-pile models for each case. The net pile displacement and ultimate pile capacity determined from the field tests and estimated by using numerical analyses are compared. It is seen that the ultimate capacity of the pile computed using FLAC3D differs from the field test results by around 9%, thereby indicating the efficiency of FLAC3D as reliable numerical software for analyzing pile foundations subjected to impact loading. Moreover, various parameters like top layers of cohesive soil varying from soft to stiff consistency, pile length, pile diameter, pile impedance and critical height of fall of the hammer have been found to influence both pile displacement and net pile capacity substantially. It may, therefore, be suggested to include the test in relevant IS code of practice.
