시간영역의 지진 가속도-시간 이력을 주파수 영역의 courier 진폭-주파수 이력으로 변화시키는 Trifunac의 경험적 모델을 기초로 하여 지진 관측소에서 측정된 임의 규모의 실제 지진기록들을 필요한 규모의 지진기록으로 유사화시키는 지진 확대 (scaling) 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 지진 규모(M) 5.6의 지진기록을 이용하여 지진 규모(M) 8.0의 유사지진을 작성하여 동적 재하 시험 장치에 적용가능하도록 하였다. 지진 확대 (scaling) 기법은 MMI(modified mercalli intensity), 지진기록 부지의 조건,진앙거리,지진 가속도 성분의 방향, 해석의 신뢰도 등을 고려할 수 있으며, 다양한 지진 기록들에 적용가능하였다.유사지진은 수평방향의 성분들만을 고려하여 작성되었다. 압력토조내에 설치된 모형인장말뚝과 개단압출말뚝에 대한 유사지진 진동에 의한 동적 말뚝재하시험이 가능하였다. 정적 말뚝재하시험시 인장말뚝과 압축말뚝의 거동은 매우 상이하였는데, 인장말뚝은 2~3회의 급작스런 미끄러짐 변위를 수반하였다. 또한, 유사 지진 진동중 인장말뚝과 개단압축말뚝의 거동특성은 매우 상이하였으며, 지지력 감소특성도 크게 달랐다.

These days the construction of extra-long piles increases. It is not unusual to install piles whose length exceed 45m. In such cases, the estimated value of negative skin friction becomes larger, often larger than the design load. In order to be sure of the safety of the super structure, the magnitude of the positive skin friction and the base bearing capacity should be known. In practice dynamic pile loading tests using PDA is the only possible measure to meet this requirement. However the analysis of dynamic pile loading test for such extra-long piles requires a thorough understanding of the pile-soil behaviour. In this paper, a new method to evaluate the positive skin friction and end bearing capacity from the normally performed PDA test is proposed. The proposed method was verified by performing specially designed pilot testings.

In this paper, the performance of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) in suppressing the seismic response of buildings is investigated with shake table testing of a four-story steel frame model that rests on pile foundation. The model tests were performed in three phases with the steel frame structure alone, the soil and pile foundation system, and the soil-foundation-structure system, respectively. The test results from different phases were compared to study the effect of soil-structure interaction on the efficiency of a TLD in reducing the peak response of the structure. The influence of a TLD on the dynamic response of the pile foundation was investigated as well. Three types of earthquake excitations were considered with different frequency characteristics. Test results indicated that TLD can suppress the peak response of the structure up to 20% regardless of the presence of soils. TLD is also effective in reducing the dynamic responses of pile foundation.

The properties of soil are naturally highly variable and thus, to ensure proper safety and reliability, we need to test a large number of samples across the length and depth. In pile foundations, conducting field tests are highly expensive and the traditional empirical relations too have been proven to be poor in performance. The study proposes a state-of-art Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS); and comparative analysis of metaheuristic models (ANN-PSO, ELM-PSO, ANFIS-PSO) for prediction of bearing capacity of pile foundation trained and tested on dataset of nearly 300 dynamic pile tests from the literature. A novel ensemble model of three hybrid models is constructed to combine and enhance the predictions of the individual models effectively. The authenticity of the dataset is confirmed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and sensitivity analysis. Ram weight and diameter of pile are found to be most influential input parameter. The comparative analysis reveals that ANFIS-PSO is the best performing model in testing phase (R² = 0.85, RMSE = 0.01) while ELM-PSO performs best in training phase (R² = 0.88, RMSE = 0.08); while the ensemble provided overall best performance based on the rank score. The performance of ANN-PSO is least satisfactory compared to the other two models. The findings were confirmed using Taylor diagram, error matrix and uncertainty analysis. Based on the results ELM-PSO and ANFIS-PSO is proposed to be used for the prediction of bearing capacity of piles and ensemble learning method of joining the outputs of individual models should be encouraged. The study possesses the potential to assist geotechnical engineers in the design phase of civil engineering projects.

말뚝의 지지력 거동을 연구하기 위하여 말뚝 제작시 다수의 변형률계를 설치한 2본의 말뚝들에 대하여 항타시에 그리고 항타후 소정의 시간이 경과된 시점에 동재하시험과 정재하시험을 몇 차례 수행하였다. 콘관입저항값 그리고 표준관입저항값과 말뚝의 단위 주면마찰력과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 재하시험전에 시험지반에 대하여 론관입시험과 표준관입시험도 실시하였다. 지지력과 두부침하량 관계를 살펴보면, 0.055D(D: 직경)의 두부침하량에서 전체지지력이 극한에 도달하였고, 이 때에 주면마찰력은 극한간에 도달했으나, 선단지지력은 계속 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝의 지지력은 항타후 시간이 경과함에 따라 자연대수함수로 증가하였으며, 지지력 성분중 주면마찰력 성분이 항타한 후 40일 경과한 시점에 초기값의 4.6배 정도로 현저하게 증가하였다. 지지력 거동에 대한 시간경과의 영향을 보면, 시험말뚝들은 초기항타시에는 선단지지말뚝으로 거동하다가 시간이 경과하면서 주면마찰 말뚝으로 거동이 변화되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 단위 주면마찰력은, 토질분류에 따라 다르지만, 콘관입저항칼(q.)과 표준관입저항값(N)과 일정한 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 관계상수는 현재 국내에서 사용하고 있는 간보다 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Locally PDA has been utilized mainly as an alternative way of preforming pile loading tests. More than 30 units of PDA's are believed to be operating in Korea. It is true that PDA can provide useful information regarding bearing capacity, integrity, hammer performance, time effect, etc. However it is also true that inappropriate execution of PDA could result in harmful effects for the safety of the superstructure or causing delay in the construction process. In this paper several cases of inappropriate application of PDA are introduced. Most of the problems seemed to be caused by unqualified personnel who carry out testing and analysis. From the evaluation of the cases a proposal has been made for the proper application of PDA.

Pre-stressed concrete circular spun piles are widely used in various infrastructure projects around the world and offer an economical deep foundation system with consistent and superior quality compared to cast in-situ and other concrete piles. Conventional methods for measuring the lateral response of piles have been limited to conventional instrumentation, such as electrical based gauges and pressure transducers. The problem with existing technology is that the sensors are not able to assist in recording the lateral stiffness changes of the pile which varies along the length depending on the distribution of the flexural moments and appearance of tensile cracks. This paper describes a full-scale bending test of a 1-m diameter spun pile of 30 m long and instrumented using advanced fibre optic distributed sensor, known as Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA). Optical fibre sensors were embedded inside the concrete during the manufacturing stage and attached on the concrete surface in order to measure the pile's full-length flexural behaviour under the prescribed serviceability and ultimate limit state. The relationship between moments-deflections and bending moments-curvatures are examined with respect to the lateral forces. Tensile cracks were measured and compared with the peak strains observed from BOTDA data which corroborated very well. By analysing the moment-curvature response of the pile, the structure can be represented by two bending stiffness parameters, namely the pre-yield (EI) and post-yield (EI_cr), where the cracks reduce the stiffness property by 89%. The pile deflection profile can be attained from optical fibre data through closed-form solutions, which generally matched with the displacements recorded by Linear Voltage Displacement Transducers (LVDTs).

The research reported herein is concerned with the model testing of piles socketed in soft rock which was simulated by cement, plaster, sand, water and concrete hardening accelerator. Model tests on a single pile socketed in simulated soft rock under axial cyclic loading were conducted and the bearing capacity and accumulated deformation characteristics under different static, and cyclic loads were studied by using a device which combined oneself-designed test apparatus with a dynamic triaxial system. The accumulated deformation of the pile head, and the axial force, were measured by LVDT and strain gauges, respectively. Test results show that the static load ratio (SLR), cyclic load ratio (CLR), and the number of cycles affect the accumulated deformation, cyclic secant modulus of pile head, and ultimate bearing capacity. The accumulated deformation increases with increasing numbers of cycles, however, its rate of growth decreases and is asymptotic to zero. The cyclic secant modulus of pile head increases and then decreases with the growth in the number of cycles, and finally remains stable after 50 cycles. The ultimate bearing capacity of the pile is increased by about 30% because of the cyclic loading thereon, and the axial force is changed due to the applied cyclic shear stress. According to the test results, the development of accumulated settlement is analysed. Finally, an empirical formula for accumulated settlement, considering the effects of the number of cycles, the static load ratio, the cyclic load ratio and the uniaxial compressive strength, is proposed which can be used for feasibility studies or preliminary design of pile foundations on soft rock subjected to cyclic loading.

국내의 경우 이 등(1994)의 연구를 시작으로 국지 현장별로 타입말뚝의 지지력 증가효과에 대한 사례연구들이 있었다. 그러나 충분한 시험자료를 바탕으로 한 지지력 증가효과에 대한 전반적인 검토는 아직 미흡한 실정이고, 또한 지지력 증가효과에 지반조건 및 말뚝의 형상이 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직 보고 된 바 없다. 타입말뚝의 지지력 증가효과를 실무적으로 이용하기 위해서는 현장에서 실구조물에 적용된 말뚝에 대한 시험자료의 분석을 실시하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝기초의 설계 및 향후 사질토에서의 지지력 증가효과 등의 연구를 위한 기본 자료로 활용하기 위해 실구조물에 적용되는 다양한 시험말뚝의 시공과 동재하시험 자료 분석을 통해 지지력 증가효과에 대한 현상을 알아보았다. 말뚝의 동재하시험의 분석 결과, 말뚝지지력의 증가는 토질별로도 영향을 받지만 조성이력에도 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 사질토에도 상당한 지지력 증가효과가 나타났다. 이러한 말뚝의 지지력의 증가는 주로 주면부에서 발생하였으며, 선단형상에 따른 지지력 증가효과는 점성토에서는 폐단말뚝이 크고, 사질토에서는 개단말뚝이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Today, In-Situ testing for measureing geotechnical characterization are divided by Cone Penetration Test, Standard Penetration Test and Dilatometer Test, and will vary depending on soil conditions have been applied (Korea Geotechnical Engineering, 2006). However, these methods can be applied on sand or soft clay soil. Now, many studies are progressing for evaluating the stiffness characteristic of rocks and IGM. and Nam moon suk(2006) did Texas Cone Penetrometer Test for designing field penetration pile intruded at rocks and IGM. but, reliability of Texas Cone Penetration Test has confidence limits because TCPT is testing in Texas centrally, and energy dose not measure Woojin Lee, etc. (1998) did calculate Standard Penetration Test Hammer's dynamic energy efficiency by using dongjaeha analyzer. this research, we installed strain gage and accelerometer for supply existing equipment, and develop MCP that can use variety soils. this thesis, we measured energy at head and tip of Rod for evaluating energy that transport at free falling. As a result, Energy differences are occurred at head and tip of Rod.
