Bi-directional load test is one of O-cell tests. The O-cell test is a system which may be used for performing static load tests on cast in situ reinforced concrete bored piles. The technique was devised and developed by Osterberg of Northwestern University(USA) and has been in use around the world. The principle of the method is that an O-cell is installed in a cast in situ bored pile base. Once the pile concrete reaches its design strength the cell is connected to an hydraulic pump and pressured. Pressurization causes the cell to expand, developing an upward force on the section of pile above the cell loads, pile movements and strains within the pile then enable the capacity of the pile and its load settlement curves to be ascertained. The O-cell pile load test with variable end plate is operated on second steps - the first step is to confirming end bearing capacity with variable end plate and the second step is similar to the conventional O-cell test. In the study, To calculate ultimate capacity of bi-directional load test using model with the pile with variable end plate O-cell.

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).

In this study, physical characteristics of cement and/or concrete materials that are typically used for energy-foundation (EF) structures have been studied. The thermal conductivity and structural integrity of the cement-based materials were examined, which are commonly encountered in backfilling a vertical ground heat exchangers, cast-in-place concrete piles and concrete lining in tunnel. For this purpose the thermal conductivity and unconfined compression strength of cement-based materials with various curing conditions were experimentally estimated and compared. Hydration heat generated from massive concrete in the cast-in-place concrete energy pile was observed for 4 weeks to estimate its dissipation time in the underground. The hydration heat may mask the in-situ thermal response test (TRT) result performed in the cast-in-place concrete energy pile. It is concluded that at least two weeks are needed to dissipate the hydration heat in this case. In addition, a series of numerical analysis was performed to compare the effect of thermal property of the concrete material on the cast-in-place pile.

말뚝은 타입될 때 가장 큰 응력이 발생하며 이 응력이 말뚝의 허용응력보다 크면 말뚝이 손상 되어 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 사전에 이를 정확히 예측하여 과도한 항타를 미연에 방지해야 한다. 콘크리트말뚝 타입 시 말뚝에 발생하는 압축응력의 예측방법은 여러 가지가 있으며 현재는 파동이론의 전산해석으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 경우에 따라서는 이 방법의 적용이 곤란할 수 있으며, 이 때에는 간단한 산정식을 적용하는 것이 실용적이다. 본 연구에서는 이 산정식들 중 비교적 합리적이라고 평가되는 산정식들 만을 선정하고 현장에서 실측한 항타응력과 선정된 산정식들로부터 구한 값을 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 Uto와 Huyuki의 식이 비교적 정확한 값을 제공하며 지반 및 시공조건에 따라 이 값에 감소계수를 곱하여 수정하면 보다 더 정확한 값을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The measurement of pile bearing capacity is crucial for the design of pile foundations, where in-situ tests could be costly and time needed. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the potential use of fuzzy-based techniques to anticipate the maximum weight that concrete driven piles might bear. Despite the existence of several suggested designs, there is a scarcity of specialized studies on the exploration of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) for the estimation of pile bearing capacity. This paper presents the introduction and validation of a novel technique that integrates the fire hawk optimizer (FHO) and equilibrium optimizer (EO) with the ANFIS, referred to as ANFIS_FHO and ANFIS_EO, respectively. A comprehensive compilation of 472 static load test results for driven piles was located within the database. The recommended framework was built, validated, and tested using the training set (70%), validation set (15%), and testing set (15%) of the dataset, accordingly. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis is performed in order to determine the impact of each input on the output. The results show that ANFIS_FHO and ANFIS_EO both have amazing potential for precisely calculating pile bearing capacity. The R² values obtained for ANFIS_FHO were 0.9817, 0.9753, and 0.9823 for the training, validating, and testing phases. The findings of the examination of uncertainty showed that the ANFIS_FHO system had less uncertainty than the ANFIS_EO model. The research found that the ANFIS_FHO model provides a more satisfactory estimation of the bearing capacity of concrete driven piles when considering various performance evaluations and comparing it with existing literature.

Progressive increase in population causing land scarcity, which is forcing construction industry to build multistory buildings having underground basements. Normally, basements are constructed for parking facility. This research work evaluates important factors which have caused the collapse of pile-anchor system at under construction five star hotel. 21 m deep excavation is carried out, to have five basements, after installation of 600 mm diameter cast in-situ contiguous concrete piles at plot periphery. To retain piles and backfill, soil anchors are installed as pit excavation is proceeded. Before collapse, anchors are designed by federal highway administration procedure and four anchor rows are installed with three strands per anchor in first row and four in remaining. However, after collapse, system is modeled and analyzed in plaxis using mohr-coulomb method. It is investigated that in-appropriate evaluation of soil properties, additional surcharge loads, lesser number of strands per anchor, shorter grouted body length and shorter pile embedment depth caused large deformations to occur which governed the collapse of east side pile wall. To resume work, old anchors are assumed to be standing at one factor of safety and then system is analyzed using finite element approach. Finally, it is concluded to use four strands per anchor in first new row and five strands in remaining three with increase in grouted and un-grouted body lengths.

Piles are structural elements made of steel, concrete or timber, and utilize as pile foundation which is one of deep foundations. Driven pile among them, which drives pile into the ground, is fast-constructable, less expensive and it supplies much bearing capacity. For these reasons, its demand is steady. In this study, by selecting the cases which reached ultimate failure during in-situ static loading tests, bearing capacities acquired from these tests were compared with those computed by existing theories and formula. As the results of the analysis, ultimate bearing capacity computed by theoretic formula were less or similar to those of test results in most cases, but lower ground water level and more dense layer where end of piles were reached remarkably high bearing capacity in theoretical methods. ${\beta}-method$ and Korean structure foundation design standard were sensitive to ground physical properties. Meyerhof metbod and API code were relatively independent from site condition.

PIT collector를 이용한 저변형률 건전도시험(low strain pile integrity test)은 충격에 의해 발생하는 응력파장의 특성을 분석하여 말뚝의 길이와 형상을 추정하는 방법이다. PIT시험(Pile Integrity Test)은 장말뚝인 경우와 지반저항이 큰 경우 선단부의 위치가 분명하게 확인되지 않아 해석이 불가능하다는 단점이 있으며 적용할 수 있는 대상말뚝에도 종류에 따라 제한된다. 그러나 이밖의 경우 간편성과 말뚝의 대략적인 단면형상을 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 다른 방법에 비하여 유리하다. 이 때문에 국내에서도 PIT시험의 적용 빈도가 증가하는 추세이며 지난 3~4년 동안 주로 대형 교량건설 현장의 대구경 현장타설말뚝에 대하여 적용되어 왔다. 최근 국내에서는 대구경 현장타설말뚝이 아닌 소구경 현장타설말뚝에 대하여 PIT시험을 실시하는 경우도 증가하고 있다. 현장 조건상 말뚝길이가 길지 않은 경우 시험분석결과 말뚝의 선단부가 분명하게 확인되었고 말뚝 중간부 및 하부의 necking 또는 bulging, 선단부의 단면이 확대되거나 축소되는 형상 등 다양한 단면형상을 나타내었다. 이 결과로부터 건전도시험의 효과적인 분석방안, 시간(양생)효과 등을 판단할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
