  • 최근 구조물의 동적해석에서 구조물-지반 상호작용이 구조물의 동적거동에 미치는 영향이 매우 중요하다는 것이 인식되어지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 관성력에 의한 구조물-지반 상호작용이 건물의 동적거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 유한요소기법을 이용하여 이론적인 연구와 시험적 조사 (Experimental Investigation)연구를 수행하였다. 이론적 연구는 균질한 지반위에 기초가 약간 묻혀있는 낮고 강성이 강한 건물과 높고 가느다란 건물 두개에 대하여 수행하였으며, 시험적 조사연구는 1985년 멕시코 대지진을 겪은 말뚝기초위에 세워진 두개의 건물에 대해 수행하였다. 이 연구 결과를 살펴보면 구조물-지반 상호작용이 구조물에 미치는 주된 영향은 고유주파수 감소와 유효감쇄비 증가인데, 그 영향이 구조물 동적거동에 심각한 영향을 미치는 경우가 있기 때문에 구조물-지반 상호작용 영향을 구조물 동적해석시 필히 고려해야 한다는 것이다.

  • This study aimed to find out the pullout capacity of inclined strip anchor plate embedded in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous fully saturated cohesive soil in undrained condition. The ultimate pullout load has been found out by using numerical lower bound finite element analysis with linear programming. The undrained pullout capacity of anchor plate of width B is determined for different embedment ratios (H/B) varying from 3 to 7 and various inclination of anchor plates ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with an interval of $15^{\circ}$. In case of anisotropic fully saturated clay the variation of cohesion with direction has been considered by varying the ratio of the cohesion along vertical direction ($c_v$) to the cohesion along horizontal direction ($c_h$). In case of nonhomogeneous clay the cohesion of the undrained clay has been considered to be increased with depth below ground surface keeping $c_v/c_h=1$. The results are presented in terms of pullout capacity factor ($F_{c0}=p_u/c_H$) where $p_u$ is the ultimate pullout stress along the anchor plate at failure and $c_H$ is the cohesion in horizontal direction at the level of the middle point of the anchor plate. It is observed that the pullout capacity factor increases with an increase in anisotropic cohesion ratio ($c_v/c_h$) whereas the pullout capacity factor decreases with an increase in undrained cohesion of the soil with depth.

  • Formation of a soil plug in an open-ended pile is a very important factor in determining the pile behavior both during driving and during static loading. The degree of soil plugging can be represented by the incremental filling ratio (IFR) which is defined as the change in the plug length to the change of the pile embedment length. The experimental tests carried out in this research contain 138 tests that are divided as follows: 36 tests for single pile, 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}1$), 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}2$) and 30 pile group ($2{\times}3$). All tubular piles were tested using the poorly graded sand from the city of Karbala in Iraq. The sand was prepared at three different densities using a raining technique. Different parameters are considered such as method of installation, relative density, removal of soil plug with respect to length of plug and pile length to diameter ratio. The soil plug is removed using a new device which is manufactured to remove the soil column inside open pipe piles group installed using driving and pressing device. The principle of soil plug removal depends on suction of sand inside the pile. It was concluded that the incremental filling ratio (IFR) is changed with the changing of soil state and method of installation. For driven pipe pile group, the average IFR for piles in loose is 18% and 19.5% for L/D=12 and 15, respectively, while the average of IFR for driven piles in dense sand is 30% and 20% for L/D=12 and L/D=15 respectively. For pressed method of pile installation, the average IFR for group is zero for loose and medium sand and about 5% for dense sand. The group capacity increases with the increase of IFR. For driven pile with length of 450 mm, the average IFR % is about 30.3% in dense sand, 14% in medium and 18.3% for loose sand while when the length of pile is 300 mm, the percentage equals to 20%, 17% and 19.5%, respectively.

  • 본 연구에서는 수평하중을 받는 연직 및 경사말뚝에 대하여 실내 대형 모형실험을 수행하여 무리말뚝의 배열방법과 경사각도에 따른 무리말뚝의 수평지지력 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 말뚝직경(D), 말뚝의 중심간격, 말뚝길이, 지반면 상부 말뚝돌출길이, 상재하중 등을 변화시켜 무리말뚝의 거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이러한 실험 결과로부터 수평하중을 받는 $2{\times}2$ 배열 무리말뚝의 경우, 말뚝을 수직으로 시공하는 것보다 양쪽으로 경사지게 시공하는 것이 더 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 무리말뚝에서 수평지지력에 미치는 요소에 대한 실험 결과, 무리말뚝에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 말뚝길이인 것으로 나타났다. 근입깊이비(L/D)가 26.5에서 36.5로 커지면, 수평지지력이 3~4배 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 말뚝 중심간격, 말뚝돌출길이 및 상재하중은 무리말뚝의 수평지지력에 큰 영향을 미치는 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 이 논문은 말뚝체의 자중을 고려한 말뚝의 좌굴거동에 관한 연구이다. 비균질 지반에 설치된 부분매립 말뚝의 좌굴을 지배하는 미분방정식과 경계조건을 유도하였다. Runge-Kutta법과 Regula-Falsi법을 결합한 수치해석법을 적용하여 말뚝의 좌굴하중과 좌굴형을 산정하였다. 계산된 좌굴하중의 수치해와 문헌값은 잘 일치하였고, 수치예를 통해 말뚝의 자중, 매립비, 세장비, 경계조건 및 지반의 반력형상비, 지반강성비가 말뚝의 좌굴특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 말뚝의 자중은 말뚝의 좌굴하중을 감소시켰으며 이러한 자중효과의 무시는 부분매립 말뚝의 좌굴하중을 과대평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 쇄석말뚝-매트로 구성된 기초시스템은 지지력이 여러 인자에 의해 영향을 받게 되어 기초지반과 말뚝체의 상호작용을 정량적으로 평가하기에 어려움이 있다. 복합지반의 지지력은 말뚝-흙 경계면의 측방응력에 의해 발생되므로 쇄석말뚝의 거동을 규명하기 위해서는 경계면에서 발생하는 수평저항력에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 또한, 말뚝간격과 근입비, 파괴각 등 기하학적 요인들도 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 쇄석말뚝-매트로 구성된 기초시스템의 선단지지 단일말뚝과 군말뚝에 대한 실내모형실험을 통하여 쇄석말뚝의 한계깊이를 측정하고 파괴각에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 평가하였다. 또한, 실내실험결과를 이론식과 비교하였으며 유한요소해석을 통해 파괴거동을 평가하여 실내모형실험의 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • The most soil anchor works have been concerned with the uplift problem on embedded in non-reinforced soils under pullout test. Symmetrical anchor plates are a foundation system that can be resisting tensile load with the support of around soil in which symmetrical anchor plate is embedded. Engineers and authors proved that the uplift response can be improved by grouping the symmetrical anchor plates, increasing the unit weight, embedment ratio and the size of symmetrical anchor plates. Innovation of geosynthetics in the field of geotechnical engineering as reinforcement materials found to be possible solution in symmetrical anchor plate responses. Unfortunately the importance of reinforcement in submergence has received very little attention by researchers. In this paper, provision of tensile reinforcement under embedded conditions has been studied through uplift experiments on symmetrical anchor plates by few researchers. From the test results it has been showed that the provision of geogrid reinforcement system enhances the uplift response substantially under uplift test although other results are such as increase the ultimate uplift response of symmetrical anchor plate embedded using geosynthetic and Grid Fixed Reinforced (GFR) and symmetrical anchor plate improvement is very dependent on geosynthetic layer length and increases significantly until the amount of beyond that further increase in the layer length does not show a significant contribution in the anchor response.

  • To study the mechanical properties of joints in ancient timber buildings in depth, the force mechanism of the through-tenon joints was analyzed, also the theoretical formulas of the moment-rotation angles of the joints with different loosening degrees were deduced. To validate the rationality of the theoretical calculation formulas, six joint models with 1/3.2 scale ratio, including one intact joint and five loosening joints, were fabricated and tested under cyclic loading. The specimens underwent the elastic stage, the plastic stage and the destructive stage, respectively. At the same time, the moment-rotation backbone curves of the tenon joints with different looseness were obtained, and the theoretical calculation results were validated when compared with the experimental results. The results show that the rotational moment and the initial rotational stiffness of the tenon joints increase gradually with the increase of the friction coefficient. The increase of the tenon section height can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the through-tenon joints. As the friction coefficient of the wood and the insertion length of the tension increase, the embedment length goes up, whereas it decreases with the increase of section height. With the increase of the looseness, the bearing capacity of the joint is reduced gradually.

  • A numerical study has been conducted to examine the improvement achieved in the ultimate pullout capacity of horizontal circular anchor plates embedded in undrained clay, by constructing granular columns of varying diameter over the anchor plates. The analysis has been carried out by using lower bound theorem of limit analysis and finite elements in combination with linear programming. The improvement in uplifting capacity of anchor plate is expressed in terms of an efficiency factor (${\xi}$). The efficiency factor (${\xi}$) has been defined as the ratio of ultimate vertical pullout capacity of anchor plate having diameter D embedded in soft clay reinforced by granular column to the vertical pullout capacity of the anchor plate with same diameter D embedded in soft clay only. The variation of efficiency factor (${\xi}$) for different embedment ratios and different diameter of granular column has been studied considering a wide range of softness of clay and different value of soil internal friction angle (${\phi}$) of the granular material. It is observed that ${\xi}$ increases with an increase in diameter of the granular column ($D_t$) and increase in friction angle of granular material. Also, the effectiveness of the usage of granular column increases with decrease in cohesion of the clay.

  • This study is attempted to propose a new hybrid artificial intelligence model called integrative genetic algorithm with multivariate adaptive regression splines (GA-MARS) for settlement prediction of shallow foundations on sandy soils. In this hybrid model, the evolution algorithm - Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to search and optimize the hyperparameters of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). For this purpose, a total of 180 experimental data were collected and analyzed from available researches with five-input variables including the bread of foundation (B), length to width (L/B), embedment ratio (Df/B), foundation net applied pressure (qnet), and average SPT blow count (NSPT). In further analysis, a new explicit formulation was derived from MARS and its accuracy was compared with four available formulae. The attained results indicated that the proposed GA-MARS model exhibited a more robust and better performance than the available methods.
