The load distribution in a ground anchor is very complex because it involves three different materials(soil, grout, and steel), which sometimes act as composite sections (bonded length) or separately (unbounded length). Therefore it is very hard to understand load transfer mechanism on the anchor. In order to understand the load transfer, it is essential to consider the load distribution In the three different materials. On these purposes, full scale anchor test is planned on the geotechnical site at Sunkyunkwan University Prior to the test, modeling and analyses of the load transfer mechanism were performed on the data from the case histories.

본 논문에서는 지반의 상대다짐도(RC)와 매입말뚝의 근입비에 따른 하중-침하 거동을 연구하기 위하여 모형실험과 하중전이 함수를 이용한 해석을 수행하였다. 모형시험에서 말뚝은 근입비(L/D)를 15, 20, 25로 설치하였고, 지반의 상대다짐도를 85%, 95%로 각각 조성하였으며 말뚝주면은 시멘트를 주입하였다. 본 논문은 매입말뚝의 해석을 위하여 Vijayvergia의 하중전이 모델, Castelli 모델, Gwizdala의 탄소성-완전소성 모델, coyle의 제안식 등을 사용하여 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 매입말뚝의 하중-침하 거동을 예측하는데 가장 적합한 하중전이 방법을 제안하였다. 하중전이 함수에 의한 지지력 예측 결과 매입말뚝의 극한 지지력은 Coyle의 제안식이 실측값에 가장 근접한 것으로 나타났으며, 초기 하중-침하 거동은 Castelli에 의한 함수가 가장 유사하게 하중-침하 거동을 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 매입말뚝의 축하중 해석결과 하중전이법에 의해 평가된 주면마찰력이 실측값보다 과소평가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

The automatic load transfer switch (ALTS) typically automatically transfers electrical loads from a normal electrical power source to an emergency electrical power source upon reduction or loss of normal power source voltage. It can also automatically re-transfer the load to the normal power source when the normal voltage has been restored within acceptable limits. The transfer operation of ALTS is accomplished by a spring-driven linkage mechanism. In this paper we build a dynamic model of driving mechanism for ALTS using ADAMS and checked the characteristics of the transfer operation. Finally we performed a detailed design of the driving mechanism through results of analysis and confirmed it to satisfy design requirements.

A road energy harvester was designed and fabricated to convert mechanical energy from the vehicle load to electrical energy. The road energy harvester is composed of 16 piezoelectric cantilevers. We fabricated prototypes using a vehicle load transfer mechanism. Applying a vehicle load transfer mechanism rather than directly installing energy harvesters under roads decreases the area of road construction and allows more energy harvesters to be installed on the side of the road. The power generation amount with respect to the vehicular velocity change was assessed by installing the vehicle load transfer mechanism form and underground form. The energy harvester installed in the underground form generated power of 4.52 mJ at the vehicular velocity of 50 km/h. Also, power generation of the energy harvester installed in the vehicle load transfer mechanism form was 48.65 mJ at the vehicular velocity of 50 km/h.

본 논문에서는 쏘일네일링 공법, 앵커 공법, 또한 이 두공법의 장점을 결합한 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 하이브리드 공법은 철근과 PC강연선을 보강재로 하며, 프리스트레스를 가함으로써 능동적인 주면마찰력 양상을 유도하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 주면마찰력 산정 이론과 하중전이 이론을 바탕으로 각 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘을 파악하였다. 또한 현장인발시험을 실시하여 측정된 계측결과의 분석 및 하중전이 이론과의 비교 검토를 통해서 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 쏘일네일링 공법은 인발거동 시 전면에서부터 선단으로 인장력이 전이되는 양상을 보이는 반면, 앵커 공법은 내하체가 위치한 선단에서 프리스트레스를 가함에 따라 선단에서 전면으로 압축력이 전이된다. 이 두 공법을 결합시킨 하이브리드 공법은 프리스트레스를 가할 때에는 앵커공법과 같이 선단에서 압축력이 발생하지만 동시인발 시에는 선단에서는 압축력이 전면에서는 인장력이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘은 쏘일네일링의 거동과 앵커의 거동이 모두 나타난다.

Since the allowable bearing capacities of piles in weathered/fractured rock are mainly governed by settlement, the load-displacement behavior of the rock socketed pile should be well known. To predict pile head settlement at the design stage, the exact understanding of the load-transfer mechanisms is essential. Therefore, in this research, the load-transfer mechanisms of drilled shaft socketed into weathered rock was investigated. For that, 5 cast-in-place concrete piles with diameters of 1,000 mm were socketed into weathered gneiss. The static axial load tests and the load-transfer measurements were performed to examine the axial resistant behavior of the piles. A comprehensive field/laboratory testing program on weathered rock at the field test sites was also performed to describe the in situ rock mass conditions quantitatively. And then, the effect of rock mass condition on the load transfer mechanism was investigated. The side shear resistance of the pile in moderately weathered rock reached to yielding point at a few millimeter displacements, and after that, the rate of resistance increment dramatically decreased. However, that in the highly /completely weathered rock did not show the obvious yielding point, and gradually increased showing the hyperbolic pattern until with the relatively high displacement (>10 mm). The end bearing-displacement curves showed linear increase at least until with the base displacement of approximately 10 mm, regardless rock mass conditions.

The load transfer depth of a ground anchor is the minimum length required to transfer the initial prestressing to the grout column through the bonded part. A thorough understanding of the mechanism of load transfer as well as accurate prediction of the load transfer depth are essential for designing an anchorage that has an adequate factor of safety and satisfies implicit economic criteria. In the current research, experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the load transfer mechanism of ground anchors based on a series of laboratory and field load tests. Optical FBG sensors embedded in the central king cable of a seven-wire strand were successfully employed to monitor the changes in tensile force and its distribution along the tendons. Moreover, results from laboratory and in-situ pullout tests were compared with those from equivalent case studies simulated using the finite difference method in the FLAC 3D program. All the results obtained from the two proposed methods were remarkably consistent with respect to the load increments. They were similar not only in trend but also in magnitude and showed more consistency at higher pullout loading stages, especially the final loading stage. Furthermore, the estimated load transfer depth demonstrated a pronounced dependency on the surrounding ground condition, being shorter in hard ground conditions and longer in weaker ones. Finally, considering the safety factor and cost-effective design, the required bonded length of a ground anchor was formulated in terms of the load transfer depth.

A Land slide in Granitic Gneiss weathered soil was stabilized successfully with soil nailing using 929mm steel bar. To understand the behavior of load transfer between soil and nail, in-situ pdl-out tests were carried out. The strains of steel bars were measured using strain gauges during pull-out tests. Forces-strain data from laboratory tension tests on steel bar and grouted steel bar were examined to compare with those of the pull-out tests. Comparisons were made between the pull-out test results and laboratory test result to understand load transfer mechanism.

PTB(Power Transfer Breaker) is a device which incorporate the functions of ACB(Air Circuit Breaker) and ATS(Automatic Transfer Switch). ACB is a circuit breaker against overload and ATS is a switching device to transfer the load between two electric power sources. An existing PTB design based upon the 5 bar & cam mechanism has been regarded to be too complex and thus a simpler 4 bar mechanism with trigger lock is proposed. Experimentation and optimization of the trigger lock is presented.

This paper presents how the load transfer mechanism of the ground anchor affects on the stability analysis of anchored slope. The finite element analysis and the conventional limit equilibrium analysis on the anchored slope were performed and compared. The limit equilibrium analysis of the anchored slope is quite open used in design practice due to the easiness of the analysis. However, the load transfer mechanism is not considered properly for the analysis. When the failure surface passes through the bonded length of an anchor, the anchor load is disregarded and the factor of safety for the anchored slope is smaller than it should be. In this study, the load transfer distribution was incorporated into the limit equilibrium stability analysis of the anchored slope and the results were compared with the results of finite element analysis.
