The variable node plate bending element, ie, the element with one or two additional mid-side nodes is used in the analysis of mat foundation to generate the nearly ideal grid model in which more nodes are defined near the column location. The plate bending element used in this study is the one based on Mindlin/Reissner plate theory with substitute shear strain field and the nodal stresses of that element are obtained by the local smoothing technique. The interaction of the soil material with the mat foundation is modeled with Winkler springs connected to the nodal points in the mat model. The vertical stiffness of the soil material are represented in terms of a modulus of subgrade reaction and are computed in the same way as to the computation of consistent nodal force of uniform surface loading. Several mesh schemes were proposed and tested to find the most suitable scheme for mat foundation analysis.

This paper has the object of investigating natural frequencies of thick plates on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation by means of finite element method and providing kinematic design data lot mat of building structures. This analysis was applied for design of substructure on elastic foundation. Mat of building structure may be consisdered as a thick plate on elastic foundation. Recently, as size of building structure becomes larger, mat area of building structure also tend to become target and building structure is supported on inhomogeneous foundation. In this paper, vibration analysis or rectangular thick plate is done by use or serendipity finite element with 8 nodes by considering shearing strain of plate. The solutions of this paper are compared with existing solutions and finite element solutions with 4${\times}$4 meshes of this analysis are shown the error of maximum 0.083% about the existing solutions. It is shown that natrural frequencies depend on not only Winkler foundation parameter but also shear foundation parameter.

A two dimensional model of linearly elastic soil spring used for the settlement analysis of the flexible mat foundation is suggested in this study. The spring constants of the soils underneath the foundation were modeled assuming uniformly vertical load applied onto the foundation. The soil spring constants were back calculated using the three-dimensional finite element analysis with Midas GTS NX program. Variation of the soil spring constants was modeled as a two-dimensional polynomial function in terms of the normalized spatial distances between the center of foundation and the analytical points. The Lysmer's analog spring for soils underneath the rigid foundation was adopted and calibrated for the flexible foundation. For validations, the newly proposed soil spring model was incorporated into a two dimensional finite difference analysis for a square mat foundation at the surface of an elastic half-space consisting of soft clays. Comparative study was made for elastic soils where the shear wave velocity is 120~180 m/s and the Poisson's ratio varies at 0.3~0.5. The resulting foundation settlements from the two dimensional finite difference analysis with the proposed soil springs were found in good agreement with those obtained directly from three dimensional finite element analyses. Details of the applications and limitations of the modified Lysmer's analog springs were discussed in this study.

초고층 건물의 기초는 지반의 지지력, 경제성, 시공성 등이 고려되어 먼저 그 형태가 결정되게 된다. 이 논문에서 고려된 빌딩에서의 깊은 기초의 적용은 심도90~l00m까지 암반의 충분한 지내력이 확보되고 있지 않은데 기인한 것이다. 지반의 지지력이 전반적으로 그다지 크지 않으면서 상부 구조물이 어느 특정기등에 상당한 축력을 미치게 되는 경우 이곳에는 상대적으로 많은 침하가 예상되게 된다. 이러한 경우 전면기초(MAT기초)로 처리하면 지반에 미치는 큰 응력을 주위 지반으로 분산시켜 경제적이며 바람직한 설계가 가능하여 진다. 이때 약한 부분의 지반은 전면기초를 통하여 지지력의 여유가 있는 지반과 연결되게 되므로 전면기초가 이와 같은 휨모멘트나 전단력등을 전달할 수 있도록 설계된다면 기초의 부등침하를 방지할 수 있게되어 상부 구조물을 부등침하로 부터 안전하게 보존할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 이와같이 실제 계획, 설계중인 초고층 건물의 순수전면기초 해석 및 설계로서 일반 실무에도 연결될 수 있는 설계기법과 하중이 지반의 지내력을 초과하는 경우 응력의 재분배를 고려한 모델링 기법을 소개하고자 한다.

국내 건축구조물 건설시 풍화대 지반(풍화토, 풍화암, 파쇄대 지반 등) 위에 건설되는 경우가 흔하게 나타나며 이 경우 경제적인 설계방안으로 풍화대의 지반지지력을 활용하기 위하여 전면기초를 사용한다. 국내 풍화대(풍화암, 풍화파쇄대, 풍화토) 지반위에 축조된 전면기초의 3가지 사례를 분석하였으며 전면기초의 설계 및 해석 절차, 침하량 평가절차, 굴착후 암반면 평가 절차, 전면기초 하부 풍화대 지반의 보강방법 결정 등에 관하여 자세하게 고찰하였다. 건축물의 전면기초를 지지하는 풍화암 또는 풍화파쇄대지반에서 사전 조사에 의한 분석뿐만 아니라 암반 노출면에 대한 암반면 조사(face mapping) 분석을 통하여 암반의 지질 구조적 특성을 평가하였으며 암반면 조사 결과를 토대로 보강방법을 결정하였다. 그리고 전면기초를 지지하는 풍화토 지반에서 직경 1m의 대형평판재하시험을 실시하였으며 크기효과를 고려하여 실제 기초의 지지력과 침하량을 평가하였다.

The 3D numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the settlement behavior of flexible mat foundations subjected to vertical loads. Special attention is given to the improved analytical method (YS-MAT) that reflects the mat flexibility and soil spring coupling effect. The soil model captures the stiffness of the soil springs as well as the shear interaction between the soil springs. The proposed method has been validated by comparing the results with other numerical approaches and field measurements on mat foundation. Through comparative studies, the proposed analytical method was in relatively good agreement with them and capable of predicting the behavior of the mat foundations.

This study proposes a two-dimensional hyperbolic soil spring model for mat foundations in clays subjected to vertically uniform loads to simplify the complexity of three-dimensional finite element analysis on mat foundations. The solutions from three-dimensional finite element analysis were examined to determine the hyperbolic model parameters of the soil springs underneath the slab. Utilizing these model parameters, normalized functions across the middle section of the mat were obtained. The solutions from the proposed model, along with the approximate finite difference analysis of the mat in clays under vertical load, were found to be consistent with those from the three-dimensional finite element analysis. The authors conclude that the proposed method can serve as an alternative for the preliminary design of mat foundations.

본문은 0.5kgf/cm2, 1kgf/cm2로 추밀된 모형점토지반(140*25*80cm)에 Sand Mat나 Geotextiles 의 크기를 변화시켜 포설한 뒤에 강주기초와 요성기초를 설치하는 10종의 모형기초에 재하시험을 실시한 것이다. 재하시험을 통해 얻어진 수평, 수직변위위 기초형태별 변음을 고찰하고 또한 이들 변형을 예측하는 전산 프로그램에 의해 수치계산을 수행한 것이다. 그 결과 변형을 예측하는 수치계산은 매우 양호한 정도를 보였고 지반지지력은 강성기초가 더 유리하며, 수평, 수직 양변위에 대응하기 위해서는 Sand Mat, Geotextile의 양 공법을 병용하는 것이 효과적임을 알았다. 또한 Sand Mat만 단독으로 이용할 경우는 수직변위의 억제효과가 크며 똑같이 Geotextile만 쓴 경우는 수평변위의 억제효과가 크다.

The effects of large rotations and p-delta on the dynamic response of a structure subjected to seismic loading and local uplift of its foundation were analyzed in this work. The structure was modeled by an equivalent flexible mat mounted on a rigid foundation that is supported either by a Winkler soil type or a rigid soil. The equations of motion of the system were derived by taking into account the equilibrium of the coupled foundation-mat system where the structure was idealized as a single-degree-of-freedom. The obtained nonlinear coupled system of ordinary differential equations was integrated by using an adequate numerical scheme. A parametric study was performed then in order to evaluate the maximum response of the system as function of the intensity of the earthquake, the slenderness of the structure, the ratio of the mass of the foundation to the mass of the structure. Three cases were considered: (i) local uplift of foundation under large rotation with the p-delta effect, (ii) local uplift of foundation under large rotation without including the p-delta effect, (iii) local uplift of foundation under small rotation. It was found that, in the considered ranges of parameters and for moderate earthquakes, assuming small rotation of foundation under seismic loading can yield more adverse structural response, while the p-delta effect has almost no effect.

In this paper, the performance of under-foundation isolators against generally annoying train-induced vibrations was examined experimentally. The effect of foundation type on the efficacy of such isolators was investigated for the first time. To this end, laboratory models including a soil container, soil, building with three types of foundation (i.e., single, strip, and mat), and isolator layer were employed. Through various dynamic tests, the effects of foundation type, isolation frequency, and the dominant frequency of train load on the isolator's performance were studied. The results demonstrated that the vibration level in the unisolated building with the strip and mat foundation was, respectively, 29 and 38% lower than in the building with the single foundation. However, the efficacy of the isolator in the building with the single foundation was, respectively, 21 and 40% higher than in the building with the strip and mat foundation. Furthermore, a lower isolation frequency and a higher excitation frequency resulted in greater isolator efficacy. The best vibration suppression occurred when the excitation frequency was close to the floor's natural frequency.
