A small scale impact apparatus, pressuremter and soil chamber were used to investigate horizontal behavior and bearing capacity of the steel guardrail post installed in compacted soil. A useful test and data reduction method for pressuremter was developed to evaluate soil parameters of surrounding soil and stability of the post. From the analyses of the PMT, horizontal bearing capacity of the post impacted by a boggie was 12.7% bigger than that of the post with static loading. The increased horizontal bearing capacity is due to generated inertia force that is dependent on the shape of failed soil wedge around the post. P-y curves were obtained from the pressuremeter test and were applied to a finite difference program which predicted a load-deflection and a bending moment contours along the post.

매입말뚝의 수평저항 특성을 고찰하기 위하여 매입말뚝에 대한 수평재하시험을 실시하여 수평하중과 수평변위관계를 분석하였다. 말뚝수평재하시험은 시멘트 밀크가 말뚝매입길이의 50%, 70%, 100%로 주입된 6개의 말뚝에 대하여 실시하였다. 시멘트 밀크의 주입비(시멘트 밀크 주입길이/말뚝의 길이)는 매입말뚝의 수평변위, 항복하중, 수평지지력에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 시멘트 밀크의 주입비가 증가할수록 매입말뚝의 수평변위가 발생되기 시작하는 위치는 지표면에 가까워지며 말뚝의 수평변위는 감소한다. 그리고 말뚝의 수평지지력과 항복하중은 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 증가할 수록 크게 나타났다. 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 1인 매입말뚝의 항복하중과 극한수평지지력은 시멘트 밀크 주입비가 0.5인 경우보다 약 2~3배 정도 크게 나타났다.

Long-short pile composite foundations bear both vertical and horizontal loads in many engineering applications. This study used indoor model tests to determine the horizontal bearing mechanism of a composite foundation with long and short piles under horizontal loads. A custom experimental device was developed to prevent excessive eccentricity of the vertical loading device caused by the horizontal displacement. ABAQUS software was used to analyze the influence of the load size and cushion thickness on the horizontal bearing mechanism. The results reveal that a large vertical load leads to soil densification and increases the horizontal bearing capacity of the composite foundation. The magnitude of the horizontal displacement of the pile and the horizontal load borne by the pile are related to the piles' positions. Due to different pile lengths, the long piles exhibit long pile effects and experience bending deformation, whereas the short piles rotate around a point (0.2 L from the pile bottom) as the horizontal load increases. Selecting a larger cushion thickness significantly improves the horizontal load sharing capacity of the soil and reduces the horizontal displacement of the pile top.

A series of laboratory model tests were conducted to investigate the effects of buried pipes location on the bearing capacity of strip footing in cohesionless soil. The variables examined in the testing program include relative density of the sand, loading rate of tests, burial depths of pipe and horizontal distance of pipe to footing. The test results showed a significant increase in bearing capacities when embedment ratio of pipe and horizontal distance of pipe to footing were increased. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the location of pipes and relative density of sand are main parameters that affect the bearing capacity of strip footing. However, loading rate has not considerable effect on bearing capacity.

In this study, the performance of foil thrust bearings was investigated by performing bearing take-off and load capacity tests, using an in-house designed and manufactured vertical bearing test rig. The mean take-off rotational speed and maximum load capacity of the bearing specimen were ~18,000 rpm and ~80 kPa, respectively. The vertical bearing test rig was observed to yield higher coefficients of friction and frictional torques than a horizontal bearing test rig under identical test conditions. This was a result of its structural characteristics, in that the bearing specimen is placed atop the thrust runner, which keeps it from being separated from the runner after the bearing take-off. In addition, bearing take-off was observed at a higher runner rotational speed as this structure keeps air from flowing between the top foil and runner surfaces, which requires a higher runner speed. The parallel alignment between the bearing specimen and runner surfaces can be maintained within a certain range more easily in a vertical test rig than in a horizontal test rig. Because of these advantages, Korean Industrial Standard, KS B 2060, recommends a vertical bearing test rig as the standard test device for foil thrust bearings.

Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) member has been widely used in the construction of high-rise buildings for its high axial bearing capacity. It can also be applied on long-span structures such as spatial structures or bridges not only for its high bearing capacity but also for its construction convenience. Concrete casting effect of CFST member is considered in the study of its bearing capacity in this paper. Firstly, in order to authenticate the applicability of constitutive relationship and yield criterion of steel and concrete based on FEM, two ANSYS models are built to simulate and compared with other's test. Secondly, in order to find the huge difference in bearing capacity due to different construction processes, two full-size CFST models are studied when they are horizontally cast and axially compressed. Finally, the effects of slenderness ratio (L/D) and confining parameter (D/t) of CFST members are studied to reveal the intrinsic links between bearing capacity and slenderness ratio or confining parameter.

The present paper evaluates seismic bearing capacity of rock masses subjected to loads of strip footings using the upper bound method. A general formula was proposed to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity considering both the horizontal and vertical accelerations of the earthquake and the effects of footing embedment depth simultaneously. Modified Hoek-Brown failure criterion was employed for the rock mass. Some comparisons were made with the available solutions and the finite element numerical models to show the accuracy of the developed upper bound formulations. The obtained results show significant improvement compared to the other available solutions. By increasing the horizontal earthquake acceleration from 0.1 to 0.3, the bearing capacity was reduced by up to 39%, while the effect of the vertical earthquake acceleration depends on its direction. An upward acceleration in the range of zero to 0.2 results in an increase in the bearing capacity by up to 24%, while the downward earthquake acceleration has an adverse effect. Also, by increasing the embedment depth of the footing from zero to 5 times the footing width, the value of seismic bearing capacity was raised about 86%. The obtained results were presented as design tables for use in practical applications.

마이크로파일의 활용증가로 수행되었던 마이크로파일의 관련연구를 통해 다양한 마이크로파일이 개발되어왔다. 개발되고 있는 마이크로파일 공법들 중 최근 수평지지력(내진저항력)의 증가를 위한 목적으로 개발된 삼축 마이크로파일(Triaxial micropile, TMP)이 대표적이라 할 수 있다. 삼축 마이크로파일은 각축에 경사지게 설치된 3개의 마이크로파일이 수평하중에 저항하므로 좀 더 효과적으로 수평하중에 저항할 수 있는 공법의 장점이 있다. 그러나 삼축 마이크로파일에 대한 지지특성에 대한 연구가 부족하여 이 파일공법을 효과적으로 활용하는데 문제가 있다. 즉, 삼축 마이크로파일(TMP)의 효과적인 활용을 위해서는 파일의 수평지 지력에 영향을 주는 요인에 대한 지지력 평가가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하중 방향별 현장수평재하시험을 수행하고 3차원 유한요소해석을 통해 현장 재하시험을 검증하고 거동 특성을 고찰하였으며, 수평하중의 방향을 고려한 적정한 수평지지력을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 정밀 3차원 수치해석모델을 이용하여 수직하중(받침설계하중)과 수평하중(지진시 발생되는 수평력)을 적용하여 교량받침 교체시 보자리의 구조적 안전성에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 기존 콘크리트와 교량받침 교체로 인해 새로 타설된 콘크리트의 응력 및 용접된 철근에 발생하는 응력 및 변위 결과를 수치해석적으로 확인하였다. 수치해석결과, 수평력 및 보자리 높이 증가는 신구콘크리트 경계면의 발생응력의 증가에 따른 콘크리트 균열(파괴) 및 내부 철근연결부의 응력증가를 초래하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 보자리 높이 증가는 수평력의 크기와 직접적인 상관관계가 있으며 받침 용량에 적합한 보자리 높이 적용이 필요할 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 보자리에 작용하는 수평력의 크기와 보자리 높이와의 상관관계를 변수로한 받침교체공사 가이드라인을 도표로 제시하여 교량받침 용량에 적합한 보자리 높이 설정 및 보강유무를 결정하는 방안을 제시하였다.

This paper simulates the hysteretic behavior of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) columns under cyclic loads using OpenSees software. The effective fiber model and displacement-based beam-column element in OpenSees is applied to each SRRC columns. The Concrete01 material model for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and Steel02 material model is proposed to perform the numerical simulation of columns. The constitutive models of RAC, profile steel and rebars in columns were assigned to each fiber element. Based on the modelling method, the analytical models of SRRC columns are established. It shows that the calculated hysteresis loops of most SRRC columns agree well with the test curves. In addition, the parameter studies (i.e., strength grade of RAC, stirrups strength, steel strength and steel ratio) on seismic performance of SRRC columns were also investigated in detail by OpenSees. The calculation results of parameter analysis show that SRRC columns suffered from flexural failure has good seismic performance through the reasonable design. The ductility and bearing capacity of columns increases as the increasing magnitude of steel strength, steel ratio and stirrups strength. Although the bearing capacity of columns increases as the strength grade of RAC increases, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity decreases gradually. Based on the test and numerical results, the flexural failure mechanism of SRRC columns were analysed in detail. The computing theories of the normal section of bearing capacity for the eccentrically loaded columns were adopted to calculate the nominal bending strength of SRRC columns subjected to vertical axial force under lateral cyclic loads. The calculation formulas of horizontal bearing capacity for SRRC columns were proposed based on their nominal bending strength.
