이 논문에서는 풍력터빈의 기초로 쓰이는 해상말뚝의 횡방향 거동에 대한 말뚝 직경의 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 지반의 물성값들은 국내 최초로 해상풍력단지 건립 예정후보지인 서남해안의 표준관입시험과 실내시험자료를 이용하였다. 유한차분해석프로그램(FLAC3D)과 p-y해석프로그램(LPile)을 사용하여 말뚝 두부의 하중-변위관계, 지반의 p-y 곡선, 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트 등을 말뚝의 직경에 따라 국내 외 허용변위기준을 적용하여 구하였다. 연구 결과 두 프로그램의 결과가 서로 다르게 나타났으며, LPile의 해석결과가 수평허용지지력을 과하게 나타냈다. 직경 2m의 말뚝에서 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트는 직경 1m의 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트보다 약 4배가량 크게 나타났으며, 수평허용지지력에서도 비슷한 경향을 보였다.

지지력이 큰 하부지반에 구조물의 하중을 전달하기 위한 방안으로 말뚝기초가 대부분 적용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 접합부에 보강되는 철근량에 따라 반복하중 하에서 프리캐스트공법과 철근 및 속채움 콘크리트로 말뚝머리부를 보강한 철근콘크리트 말뚝(HPC)과 기초 접합부 거동을 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 철근량에 변화에 따라 제작된 두 종류의 접합부 실험체의 균열패턴과 파괴거동은 유사한 수준으로 평가되었다. 철근량 1.77배 증가에 기인하여 BS-H25 실험체는 BS-H19 실험체에 비해 최고하중은 약 1.47배 증가하였지만 연성비는 정가력시 76%, 부가력시 70% 수준을 나타내었다. 강성감소는 접합부 철근 항복 이후 BS-H19 실험체와 BS-H25 실험체는 정가력시 초기강성의 약 66% ~ 71% 수준으로 부가력시 54% ~ 57% 수준으로 감소되었고 BS-H25 실험체가 평균 13% 높은 강성값을 나타내었다. 극한하중 상태에서의 BS-H19와 BS-H25 실험체의 누적 에너지 소산량은 사용하중 상태에 비해 약 5.5배 및 6.6배 큰 값으로 측정되었다.

With an increasing demand of a renewable energy, new offshore wind turbine farms are being planned in some parts of the world. Foundation installation asks a significant cost of the total budget of offshore wind turbine (OWT) projects. Hence, a cost reduction from foundation parts is a key element when a cost-efficient designing of OWT budget. Mono-piles have been largely used, accounting about 78% of existing OWT foundations, because they are considered as a most economical alternative with a relatively shallow-water, less than 30 m of seawater depth. OWT design standards such as IEC, GL, DNV, API, and Eurocode are being developed in a form of reliability based limit state design method. In this paper, reliability analysis using the response surface method (RSM) and numerical simulation technique for an OWT mono-pile foundation were performed to investigate the sensitivities of mono-pile design parameters, and to find practical implications of RSM reliability analysis.

Ground-source (Geothermal) heat pump (GSHP) systems can achieve a higher coefficient of performance than conventional air-source heat pump (ASHP) systems. However, GSHP systems are not widespread in Japan because of their expensive boring costs. The authors have developed a GSHP system that employs the cast-in-place concrete pile foundations of a building as heat exchangers in order to reduce the initial boring cost. In this system, eight U-tubes are arranged around the surface of a cast-in-place concrete pile foundation. The heat exchange capability of this system, subterranean temperature changes and heat pump performance were investigated in a foil-scale experiment. As a result, the average values for heat rejection were 186${\sim}$201 W/m (for pile, 25 W/m per Pair of tubes) while cooling. The average COP of this system was 4.6 while cooling; rendering this system more effective in energy saving terms than the typical ASHP systems. The initial cost of construction per unit for heat extraction and rejection is ${\yen}$72/W for this system, whereas it is f300/W for existing standard borehole systems.

In this system, eight U-tubes are arranged around the surface of a cast-in-place concrete pile foundation. The heat exchange capability of this system, subterranean temperature changes and heat pump performance were investigated in a full-scale experiment. As a result, the average values for heat rejection were 186~201 W/m(per pile, 25 W/m per pair of tubes) while cooling. The average COP of this system was 4.6 while cooling; rendering this system more effective in energy saving terms than the typical ASHP systems.

Monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines embedded in soft clay are subjected to the long-term cyclic lateral loads induced by winds, currents, and waves, the vibration of monopile leads to the accumulation of pore pressure and cyclic strains in the soil in its vicinity, which poses a threat to the safety operation of monopile. The researchers mainly focused on the hysteretic stress-strain relationship of soft clay and kinds of stiffness degradation models have been adopted, which may consume considerable computing resources and is not applicable for the long-term bearing performance analysis of monopile. In this study, a modified cyclic stiffness degradation model considering the effect of plastic strain and pore pressure change has been proposed and validated by comparing with the triaxial test results. Subsequently, the effects of cyclic load ratio, pile aspect ratio, number of load cycles, and length to embedded depth ratio on the accumulated rotation angle and pore pressure are presented. The results indicate the number of load cycles can significantly affect the accumulated rotation angle of monopile, whereas the accumulated pore pressure distribution along the pile merely changes with pile diameter, embedded length, and the number of load cycles, the stiffness of monopile can be significantly weakened by decreasing the embedded depth ratio L/H of monopile. The stiffness degradation of soil is more significant in the passive earth pressure zone, in which soil liquefaction is likely to occur. Furthermore, the suitability of the "accumulated rotation angle" and "accumulated pore pressure" design criteria for determining the required cyclic load ratio are discussed.

The MOX fuel for LWR is fabricated either by direct mechanical blending of UO$_2$ and PuO$_2$ or by two stage mixing. Hence Pu-rich particles, whose Pu concentrations are higher than pellet average one and whose size distribution depends on a specific fabrication method, are inevitably dispersed in MOX pellet. Due to the inhomogeneous microstructure of MOX fuel, the thermal conductivity of LWR MOX fuel scatters from 80 to 100 % of UO$_2$ fuel. This paper describes a mechanistic thermal conductivity model for MOX fuel by considering this inhomogeneous microstructure and presents an explanation for the wide scattering of measured MOX fuel＇s thermal conductivity. The developed model has been incorporated into a KAERI＇s fuel performance code, COSMOS, and then evaluated using the measured in-pile data for MOX fuel. The database used for verification consists of homogeneous MOX fuel at beginning-of-life and inhomogeneous MOX fuel at high turnup. The COSMOS code predicts the thermal behavior of MOX fuel well except for the irradiation test accompanying substantial fission gas release. The over-prediction with substantial fission gas release seems to suggest the need for the introduction of a recovery factor to a term that considers the burnup effect on thermal conductivity.

본 논문에서는 일체식 교대 교량의 장대화 및 내진성능 향상을 위해 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 교대-H형 강말뚝 연결부의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 기존의 연결부의 균열형상을 파악하고, 이를 기반으로 새로운 형태의 연결부를 제안하기 위하여 철근을 활용하여 강성을 증가시키는 방법과 강말뚝의 형상을 개선하여 연성을 개선시키는 방법을 모색하였다. 먼저, 기존 연결부의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 연결부 주변에 PennDOT에 규정된 철근상세와 나선철근의 배치와 HSS 튜브를 사용하였으나, PennDOT의 철근 상세와 HSS 튜브는 연결부의 성능을 향상시키지 못 했으나, 나선철근은 균열을 효과적으로 차단시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 철근의 구속효과로 인해 강말뚝의 저항력이 변위에 선형적으로 비례하여 증가하므로 교량의 상부구조에 축력을 발생시키는 효과를 가져왔다. 따라서, 강말뚝의 형상을 개선하기 위하여 콘크리트 교대에 매입된 부분의 플랜지를 제거하는 방법과 콘크리트 외부에서 플랜지의 폭을 축소시키는 형태를 검토하였다. 두 가지 방안 모두 균열을 억제하는데 효과적인 방법이었으나, 플랜지를 제거하는 쪽의 연결부가 더욱 효과적이었다.

Different types of long slender pile shall buckle with weak soil and liquefied stratum surrounded. Different from considering single side earth pressure, it was suggested that the lateral earth pressure can be divided into two categories while buckling: the earth pressure that prevent and promotes the lateral movement. Active and passive earth pressure calculation model was proposed supposing earth pressure changed linearly with displacement considering overlying load, shaft resistance, earth pressure at both sides of the pile. Critical buckling load calculation method was proposed based on the principle of minimum potential energy quoting the earth pressure calculation model. The calculation result was contrasted with the field test result of small diameter TC pile (Plastic Tube Cast-in-place pile). The fix form could be fixed-hinged in the actual calculation assuring the accuracy and certain safety factor. The contributions of pile fix form depend on the pile length for the same geological conditions. There exists critical friction value in specific geological conditions that the side friction has larger impact on the critical buckling load while it is less than the value and has less impact with larger value. The buckling load was not simply changed linearly with friction. The buckling load decreases with increased limit active displacement and the load tend to be constant with larger active displacement value; the critical buckling load will be the same for different fix form for the small values.

국내 구조물 기초설계기준은 전체 말뚝 수량의 1~3%에 대해 동재하시험 또는 정재하시험을 수행하도록 규정하였다. 나머지 약 97%에서 99% 말뚝의 시공 품질은 통상적으로 항타 관입량으로 관리한다. 대다수 말뚝에 적용되는 기존 관입량 관리방식에서 항타 에너지도 함께 고려하는 항타공식으로 말뚝의 시공 품질을 관리한다면 신뢰성이 향상될 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기존 항타공식의 국내 말뚝 관리 활용 가능성을 검토하였다. 하지만, 해외에서 만들어진 기존 항타공식들은 상대적으로 얕은 깊이에 풍화암이나 연암이 있으며 매입 말뚝을 주로 활용하는 국내 실정에 맞게 개선할 필요가 있다. 그러므로, Modified Gates 공식을 국내 데이터를 활용하여 개선하였고, 이를 활용한 말뚝 관리 가능성을 확인하였다. 개선된 공식은 적은 변수를 활용함에도, 동재하시험과 유사한 수준의 정확도로 매입 말뚝 지지력을 예측하였다. 제안된 항타공식은 향후 말뚝의 시공 품질관리에 실무적으로 잘 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
