본 논문에서는 단일 및 군말뚝의 수평변위와 최대 휨모멘트를 예측하기 위하여 인공신경망을 도입하였다. 인공신경망에 의한 결과는 낙동강 모래지반에서 단일 및 군말뚝에 대하여 수행한 일련의 모형실험결과와 비교하였다. 인공신경망 중의 하나인 오류 역전파 신경망(EBIPNN)의 적용성 검증을 위하여 600개의 모형실험결과들을 이용하였다. 그리고 신경망의 구조는 한개의 입력층과 두개의 은닉층 그리고 한개의 출력층으로 구성되었다. 전체 데이터의 25%, 50% 그리고 75% 결과는 각각 신경망의 학습에 이용되었으며 학슴에 이용하지 않은 데이터들은 예측에 이용되었다. 인공신경망 학습결과와 실험결과의 비교에 의하면, 신경망의 최적학습을 위하여 최적학습을 위하여 적합한 은닉층의 뉴런수는 각각 30개로 그리고 학습률은 0.9로 결정되었다. 전체 데이터의 50%이상으로 학습을 수행한 신경망의 모델은 정확한 예측을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 인공신경망 모델리 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 수평변위와 최대 휨모멘트의 예측에 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

A series of model tests was performed to find the characteristics of lateral behavior of single rigid pile. This paper shows the results of model tests on the lateral behavior of single rigid driven pile in non-homogeneous(two layered) Nak-Dong River sands. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length, the coefficient ratio of the subgrade reaction and the pile construction conditions(driven & embedded piles) on the characteristics of lateral behavior of single pile. The results of model tests show that the lateral behavior in non-homogeneous soil depends upon drop energy considerably, that is, in the case of H/L=0.75, as the drop energy increases three times the decrease percentage increases about 2.12 times. In the driven pile with non-homogeneous soil of $E_{h1}/E_{h2}=5.56$, the effect of upper layer with large stiffness on the decrease of lateral deflection is remarkably smaller than embedded pile. In non-homogeneous soil, the maximum bending moment of driven pile is in the range of 100 132% in comparison with embedded pile. The reason is that the stiffness of soil around pile increases with drop vibration and so the pile behavior is similar to the flexible pile behavior by means of the increase of relative stiffness of pile, In this paper, the experimental equations for lateral load and H/L on $y_D/y_E \; & \; MBM_D/MBM_E$ are suggested from model tests.

This paper shows the results of a series of model tests on the behavior of single flexible pile, which is subjected to lateral load, in non-homogeneous Nak-Dong River sands, consisting of two layers. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effects of ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length, ratio of soil modulus of upper layer to lower one, and pile head constraint condition on the characteristics of lateral behavior of single pile. These effects can be quantified only by the results of model tests. Based on the results of model tests, in non-homogeneous sand, it was found that the lateral behavior depends upon the ratio of soil modulus of upper layer to lower one. And, in respect of deflection, it was found that the relationship between the deflection ratio of non-homogeneous to homogeneous sand and the ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length can be fitted to exponential function of H/L and lateral load by model tests results. Also, in respect of maximum bending moment, it was found that the relationship H/L and $MBM_{fixed-head}/MBM_{free-head}$ can be fitted to linear function of H/L by model test results.

This paper shows the results of model tests on the lateral behavior of single rigid pile, which was constructed by driving, in homogeneous and non-homogeneous (two layered) NakDong River sands. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effect of ratio of lower layer thickness to embedded pile length, relative density of sand and pile construction conditions (Driven & Embedded piles) on the characteristics of lateral behavior of single pile. These effects can be quantified only by the results of model tests. As a model result, the lateral behavior depends upon the pile construction condition in loose-density soil more than in high-density soil. If the pile construction depends upon driving construction, the decrease of deflection remarkably increases for both loose homogeneous sand and non-homogeneous soil$(E_{h1}/E_{h2}/=0.18)$ with high thickness of upper layer but the decrease of maximum bending moment shows the opposite result to the decrease of deflection. And, with respect to deflection, it was found that the deflection ratio $(y_{Driven}y_{Embedded})$ of embedded to driven piles has the ranges of 0.65 - 0.88 $(D_r=90%)$0.38 - 0.65 $(D_r=61.8%)$ for each relative density of homogeneous soil and the range of 0.6 - 0.88 for non-homogeneous soil. Also, in this study, the experimental equation for the effects of drop height (DH) and H/L on the ratios of $y_D/y_E\; and MBM_D/MBM_ E$ is suggested from model tests.
