To find a lateral long term behavior of driven H-piles in embankment, inclinometer is installed at pile and measurement is done during a year. When behavior of measured slope angles is in accord with behavior of nonlinear p-y curves(Reese, Murchison and O'Neil, Matlock's p-y analysis), maximum displacement of pile head, maximum stress and maximum bending moment of pile obtained from the numerical analysis are shown. As results, maximum lateral displacement at pile head, maximum stress and maximum bending moment of pile are shown linear behavior, And maximum lateral load, maximum lateral displacement, and maximum bending moment at pile obtained from the numerical analysis are 8∼12.4tonf, 9∼10.1㎜, and 10.39∼12.67tonf-m per pile according to the curves, respectively.

During the last few decades in Korea, the development of hillside or mountain areas has rapidly increased for infrastructure construction such as railroads, highways and housing. Many landslides have occurred during these constructions. Also, the amount and scale of damage caused by landslides have increased every year. In the case of Far East Asia including Korea, the damage of landslides is consequently reported during the wet season. In this paper, the effect of stabilizing piles on slope stability is checked and the behavior of slope soil and piles are observed throughout the year by field measurements in the large-scale cut slopes. In particular a large-scale cut slope situated on the construction site for the express highway in Donghae, Korea. First of all, The behavior of the slope soil was measured by inclinometers during slope modification. Landslides occurred in this area due to the soil cutting for slope modification. The horizontal deformations of slope soil gradually increased and rapidly decreased at depth of sliding surface indicating that the depth of sliding surface below the ground surface can be predicted. On the basis of being able to predict the depth of the sliding surface, stabilizing piles were designed and constructed in this slope. To ensure the stability of the reinforced slope using stabilizing piles, an instrumentation system was installed. The maximum deflection of piles is measured at the pile head and it is noted that the piles deform like deflection on a cantilever beam. The maximum bending stress of piles is measured at the soil layer. The pile above the soil layer is subjected to lateral earth pressure due to driving force of the slope, while pile below soil layer is subjected to subgrade reaction against pile deflection. As a result of research, the effect and applicability of stabilizing piles in large-scale cut slopes could be confirmed sufficiently.

The behavior of composite piles composed of steel pipe pile in the upper part and concrete pile in the lower part by a mechanical splicing joint was examined by field lateral load tests and bending tests. A total of 7 piles including two instrumented piles for bending test were installed. The soil profile consists of soft clay with weak silt with shallow groundwater level. Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the basic soil characteristics and the strength parameters. This paper presents the composite pile behavior with various portions of the upper steel pile: 0, 20, 30, and 45% of the pile embedded pile length. Three-point bending tests were performed to investigate the stress-strain relation at the mechanical joint. Based on these test results, the behavior of composite piles with various upper steel pile length are evaluated and the stability of mechanical joints are examined. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, it was found that lateral load carrying capacity of the composite piles increased and deflections of the composite piles decreased with increasing the upper steel piles. The mechanical joint was proved to retain its structural stability against the tested load conditions. Economical benefits of composite pile of this kind can be gained by setting adequately the length of the upper steel pipe piles.

The bending moment and settlement of the slab track can be reduced by the installation of small numbers of micro piles beneath the track. This paper presents the effect of micro pile installation on the reduction of bending moment and settlement of slab track, estimated by a numerical method. The slab track is modeled as a plate based on the Mindlin's plate theory, and soil and piles are modeled as Winkler and coupled springs, respectively. The stiffness of piles is obtained by the approximate analytical method proposed by Randolph and Wroth. and the modulus of subgrade reaction is adopted to evaluate Winkler spring constant. From the analysis results, the effect of the micro pile installation is significant to considerably reduce the settlement of slab track. However, for the proper reduction of bending moments in a slab track, the pile arrangement should be reasonably taken into account to prevent the stress concentration at pile location.

Earth berms are often left in place to support retaining walls or piles in order to eliminate horizontal struts in excavations of soft soil areas. However, if the excavation depth is relatively large, an earth berm-supported retaining system may not be applicable and could be replaced by a multi-bench retaining system. However, studies on multi-bench retaining systems are limited. The goal of this investigation is to study the deformation characteristics, internal forces and interaction mechanisms of the retaining structures in a multi-bench retaining system and the failure modes of this retaining system. Therefore, a series of model tests of a two-bench retaining system was designed and conducted, and corresponding finite difference simulations were developed to back-analyze the model tests and for further analysis. The tests and numerical results show that the distance between the two rows of retaining piles (bench width) and their embedded lengths can significantly influence the relative movement between the piles; this relative movement determines the horizontal stress distribution in the soil between the two rows of piles (i.e., the bench zone) and thus determines the bending moments in the retaining piles. As the bench width increases, the deformations and bending moments in the retaining piles decrease, while the excavation stability increases. If the second retaining piles are longer than a certain length, they will experience a larger bending moment than the first retaining piles and become the primary retaining structure. In addition, for varying bench widths, the slip surface formation differs, and the failure modes of two-bench retained excavations can be divided into three types: integrated failure, interactive failure and disconnected failure.

Piles passing through sloping liquefiable deposits are prone to lateral loading if these deposits liquefy and flow during earthquakes. These lateral loads caused by the relative soil-pile movement will induce bending in the piles and may result in failure of the piles or excessive pile-head displacement. Whilst the weak nature of the flowing liquefied soil would suggest that only small loads would be exerted on the piles, it is known from case histories that piles do fail owing to the influence of laterally spreading soils. It will be shown, based on dynamic centrifuge test data, that dilatant behaviour of soil close to the pile is the major cause of these considerable transient lateral loads which are transferred to the pile. This paper reports the results of geotechnical centrifuge tests in which models of gently sloping liquefiable sand with pile foundations passing through them were subjected to earthquake excitation. The soil close to the pile was instrumented with pore-pressure transducers and contact stress cells in order to monitor the interaction between soil and pile and to track the soil stress state both upslope and downslope of the pile. The presence of instrumentation measuring pore-pressure and lateral stress close to the pile in the research described in this paper gives the opportunity to better study the soil stress state close to the pile and to compare the loads measured as being applied to the piles by the laterally spreading soils with those suggested by the JRA design code. This test data shows that lateral stresses much greater than one might expect from calculations based on the residual strength of liquefied soil may be applied to piles in flowing liquefied slopes owing to the dilative behaviour of the liquefied soil. It is shown at least for the particular geometry studied that the current JRA design code can be un-conservative by a factor of three for these dilation-affected transient lateral loads.

현재 국내에 경사지에 설치된 태양광 발전시설에 대해서 강우 혹은 태풍과 같은 자연재해로 매년 태양광 발전시설의 강우에 의해 토사가 유출되어 기초부에 손상을 입거나, 풍하중에 의해 기초부가 이탈하는 등 피해사례가 발생하여 이와 관련된 문제가 대두되고 있다. 하지만 위와 같은 실정에도 지반과 구조물의 상호작용은 고려하지 않고, 외부 하중에 따른 구조물 자체의 안정성만 분석을 시행하며, 설비 부지의 안정성 검토는 태양광 구조물을 제외한 사면에 대한 안정성 검토만 진행중이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각 영향인자에 대해서 말뚝의 횡방향변위와 휨응력, 경사지의 안전율의 변화양상을 검토하기 위해 지반과 말뚝의 거동을 모사할 수 있는 유한차분법 해석을 실시하였다. 영향인자는 말뚝의 지름, 말뚝 사이의 간격, 말뚝의 근입 깊이, 풍하중, 건기와 우기 조건 등의 인자를 가정하였으며, 횡방향 변위와 휨응력, 경사지의 안전율에 큰 영향을 미치는 인자를 검토하였다. 말뚝의 횡방향 변위와 휨응력은 말뚝 사이의 간격과 풍하중에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나았으며, 경사지의 안전율의 경우 말뚝의 근입 깊이에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 해석을 실시한 조건에서 일부분은 국내의 설계기준을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 검토되었다.

본 교량은 교축방향에 대해 사각 60도인 90m 3경간 연속 완전 일체식 교대교량이다. 이 교량의 상부슬래브 콘크리트 타설후, 7일간의 콘크리트 양생에 따른 H말뚝의 수평거동을 알아보기 위하여, H말뚝 축방향으로 매설형 경사계와 변형률계를 설치하여 계측을 실시하였다. 이때 계측 결과를 수화열 및 건조수축 전용프로그램인 HACOM의 해석결과와 H말뚝의 횡방향 비선형 p-y 모델해석 거동에 비교하였다. 그 결과에 의하면, 실측한 H말뚝의 수평변위는 상부슬래브 콘크리트가 양생함에 따라 발생하는 수화열과 건조수축에 영향을 받았고, 그 크기는 각각 2.2mm, 1.4mm이었다. 말뚝 축방항 수평변위의 변곡점은 교대 기초저면에서 1.3m 위치에서 발생하였다. 이는 이 교량의 교대말뚝은 말뚝머리 고정조건으로 거동하는 것이 아니라 이와 매우 유사한 거동을 보였다. 그리고 실측한 말뚝의 휨응력 거동은 말뚝머리 회전구속과 같은 거동을 보이지 않고, 연직방향의 하중전이와 같은 거동을 나타내었다. 또한 교대말뚝의 비선형 p-y 모델해석으로 구한 최대휨응력 증분량의 크기는 약 300(kgf/$\textrm{km}^2$)이었고, 교대말뚝의 계측기 부착위치와는 무관하게 실측한 값보다 약 2배 크게 발생하였다. 그리고 말뚝의 비선형 p-y 모델해석에서 말뚝의 수평하중, 최대수평 변위, 최대휨응력, 최대휨모멘트는 콘크리트 양생시간에 따라 모두 선형적인 거동을 보였다.
