강관말뚝의 경쟁력 향상을 위해 개발되어 현장적용되고 있는 590MPa급 고강도 강관말뚝의 항타관입성과 지지력 특성을 분석하기 위하여 인천 송도지역에 총 18본의 다양한 지름/두께 및 강도별로 강관말뚝을 시공하고 이에 대한 재하시험을 수행하였다. 항타관입성은 일반강도와 고강도간의 타격횟수, 관입깊이, 건전도 등을 확인하여 비교하였으며, 파일 지지력은 동재하시험을 수행하고 대표 말뚝에 대해서는 정재하시험을 수행하여 동재하시험의 적절성을 평가하였다. 또한 동재하시험결과를 GRLWeap 해석결과와 비교하고 입력변수에 대한 역해석을 수행하여 향후 고강도 강관말뚝을 송도지역에 시공할 때 보다 적절한 항타장비 선정 및 지지력 예측이 가능하도록 표준관입시험의 N값을 이용한 지반반력계수에 대한 보정식을 제안하였다.

Wave equation analysis programs (WEAP) such as GRLWEAP and TNOWave were primarily developed for pre-driving analysis. They can also be used for post-driving measurement applications with some refinements. In the case of pre-driving analysis, the programs are used for the purpose of selecting the right equipment for a given ground condition and controlling stresses during pile driving processes. Recently, the program is increasingly used for the post-driving measurement application, where an assessment based on a variety of input parameters such as hammer, driving system and dynamic behaviour of soil is carried out. The process of this type of analysis is quite simple and it is performed by matching accurately known parameters, such as from CAPWAP analysis, to the parameters used in GRLWEAP analysis. The parameters that are refined in the typical analysis are pile stresses, hammer energy, capacity, damping and quakes. Matching of these known quantities by adjusting hammer, cushion and soil parameters in the wave equation program results in blow counts or sets and stresses for other hammer energies and capacities and cushion configuration. The result of this analysis is output on a Bearing Graph that establishes a relationship between ultimate capacity and net set per blow. A further application of this refinement method can be applied to the assessment of dynamic formulae, which are extensively used in pile capacity calculation during pile driving process. In this paper, WEAP analysis is carried out to establish the relationship between the ultimate capacities and sets using the various parameters and using this relationship to recalibrate the dynamic formula. The results of this analysis presented show that some of the shortcoming of the dynamic formula can be overcome and the results can be improved by the introduction of a correction factor.
