Designing pile foundations subjected to the uplift forces such as buildings, oil platforms, and anchors is becoming increasingly concerned. In this paper, the conceptual design of a new type of driven piles called expanding pile is presented and assessed. Some grooves have been created in the shaft of the novel pile, and some moveable arms have been designed at the pile tip. At first, static analyses using the finite element method were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative pile on the axial bearing capacity. Then its effect on seismic behavior of moment frame is considered. Results show that the expanding arms were provided an ideal anchorage system because of the soil's noticeable locking-up effect increasing uplift bearing capacity. For example at the end of the static tensile loading procedure, displacement decrement up to 55 percent is observed. In addition, comparing the uplift bearing capacity of the usual and new pile with different lengths in sand and clay layers shows noticeable effect and sharp increase up to about two times especially in longer piles. Besides, a sensible reduction in the seismic response and the stresses in the beam-column connection between 23-36 percent are achieved that ensures better seismic behavior of the structures.

A series of three-dimensional (3D) parametric finite element analyses have been performed to study the influence of the relative locations of pile tips with regards to the tunnel position on the behaviour of single piles and pile groups to adjacent tunnelling in weathered soil. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, which considers the relative pile tip location with respect to the tunnel position, tunnelling-induced pile head settlements are larger than those computed from the Greenfield condition. However, when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, a reverse trend is obtained. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, the tunnelling-induced tensile pile forces mobilised, but when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, compressive pile forces are induced because of tunnelling, depending on the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. For piles connected to a cap, tensile and compressive forces are mobilised at the top of the centre and side piles, respectively. It has been shown that the increases in the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements have resulted in reductions of the apparent factor of safety up to approximately 43% when the pile tips are inside the influence zone, therefore severely affecting the serviceability of the piles. The pile behaviour, when considering the location of the pile tips with regards to the tunnel, has been analysed in great detail by taking the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements, axial pile forces, apparent factor of safety of the piles and shear transfer mechanism into account.

The pile group foundation is widely used for gravity pier of high-speed railway bridges in China. If a moderate or strong earthquake occurs, the pile-surrounding soil will exhibit obvious nonlinearity and significant pile group effect. In this study, an improved pushover analysis model for the pile group foundation with consideration of pile group effect is presented and validated by the quasi-static test. The improved model uses simplified springs to simulate the soil lateral resistance, side friction and tip resistance. PM (axial load-bending moment) plastic hinge model is introduced to simulate the impact of the axial force changing of pile group on their elastic-plastic characteristics. The pile group effect is considered in stress-stain relations of the lateral soil resistance with a reduction factor. The influence factors on nonlinear characteristics and plastic hinge distribution of the pile group foundation are discussed, including the pier height, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and stirrup ratio of the pile, and soil mechanical parameters. Furthermore, the displacement ductility factor, resistance increase factor and yielding stiffness ratio are provided to evaluate the seismic performance of soil-pile system. A case study for the pile group foundation of a railway simply supported beam bridge with a 32 m-span is conducted by numerical analysis. It is shown that the ultimate lateral force of pile group is not determined by the yielding force of the single one in these piles. Therefore, the pile group effect is essential for the seismic performance evaluation of the railway bridge with pile group foundation.

Pile foundation is a typical form of bridge foundation and viaduct, and large-diameter rock-socketed piles are typically adopted in bridges with long span or high piers. To investigate the effect of a mountain slope with a deep overburden layer on the bearing characteristics of large-diameter rock-socketed piles, four centrifuge model tests of single piles on different slopes (0°, 15°, 30° and 45°) were carried out to investigate the effect of slope on the bearing characteristics of piles. In addition, three pile group tests with different slope (0°, 30° and 45°) were also performed to explore the effect of slope on the bearing characteristics of the pile group. The results of the single pile tests indicate that the slope with a deep overburden layer not only accelerates the drag force of the pile with the increasing slope, but also causes the bending moment to move down owing to the increase in the unsymmetrical pressure around the pile. As the slope increases from 0° to 45°, the drag force of the pile is significantly enlarged and the axial force of the pile reduces to beyond 12%. The position of the maximum bending moment of the pile shifts downward, while the magnitude becomes larger. Meanwhile, the slope results in the reduction in the shaft resistance of the pile, and the maximum value at the front side of the pile is 3.98% less than at its rear side at a 45° slope. The load-sharing ratio of the tip resistance of the pile is increased from 5.49% to 12.02%. The results of the pile group tests show that the increase in the slope enhances the uneven distribution of the pile top reaction and yields a larger bending moment and different settlements on the pile cap, which might cause safety issues to bridge structures.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 실시하여 지반굴착으로 인해 융기(heaving)가 발생하는 지반에 사전에 근입된 말뚝의 거동에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 수치해석에서는 말뚝과 점토사이 경계면에서의 미끄러짐(소성항복)을 고려하여 그 상호거동에 대하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝의 상향변위, 말뚝과 인접지반의 상대변위, 말뚝에 작용하는 전단응력 및 인장력을 분석하였다. 특히, 수직응력의 감소로 인해 말뚝과 인접지반에서의 전단응력이 전이되는 메커니즘에 대한 심도있는 분석을 실시하였다. 굴착에 의해 수직응력이 감소하여 말뚝과 인접지반 사이에서의 상대변위 및 전단응력이 변화하였다. 말뚝 대부분의 위치(Z/L=0.0-0.8)에서는 상향의 전단응력이 발생하였으나, 말뚝 선단부 부근(Z/L=0.8-1.0)에서는 하향의 전단응력이 발생하였고, 이로 인해 말뚝에는 인장력이 발생하였다. Z는 임의의 심도, L은 말뚝의 길이이다. 수치해석을 통해서 분석된 말뚝의 거동에 대하여 상세히 보고하였다.

In this study, to achieve the optimal conditions for mechanical hyper-fine pattern fabrication process, deformation behavior of the materials during indentation scratch test was studied with numerical method by ABAQUS S/W. Brittle materials (Si, Pyrex glass 7740) were used as specimens, and forming conditions to reduce the elastic recovery and pile-up were proposed. The indenter was modeled as a rigid surface. Minimum mesh sizes of specimens are 1-l0nm. Variables of the nanoindentation scratch test analysis are scratching speed, scratching load, tip radius and tip geometry. The nano-indentation scratch tests were performed by using the Berkovich pyramidal diamond indenter. Comparison between the experimental data and numerical result demonstrated that the FEM approach can be a good model of the nanoindentation scratch test. The result of the investigation will be applied to the fabrication of the hyper-fine pattern.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 기존 건축물의 수직증축 리모델링을 위한 말뚝지지 조건에 따른 기존 및 보강말뚝의 거동에 대해 분석하였다. 수치해석에서 기존 및 보강말뚝 거동의 영향인자로는 캡지지 조건(군말뚝 기초, 말뚝지지 전면기초)과 기존말뚝의 선단근입조건(암반근입, 토사근입)을 고려하였다. 기존말뚝과 보강말뚝의 정량적 거동 분석을 위해 침하량, 하중분담률, 해석 단계에 따른 심도별 축력을 결과로 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 선재하공법 적용에 기인하여 보강말뚝에서 가장 큰 침하량이 발생한 것을 확인하였다. 특히 선단근입조건에 관계없이 군말뚝에서 큰 침하량이 발생하였다. 말뚝지지 전면기초에서는 기초판(Raft)의 영향으로 인해 침하량 및 기존말뚝과 보강말뚝의 하중분담률이 작아지는 것을 확인하였다. 심도별 축력 분포도에서는 군말뚝과 말뚝지지 전면기초 간의 축력 분포에 차이가 나타났으며, 이는 침하량과 하중분담률에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소로 작용하는 것으로 보인다. 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 수직증축 리모델링을 위한 말뚝기초 설계에 있어서 캡지지 조건과 선단근입 조건을 고려해야 함을 확인하였다.

Dynamic load and static load tests are performed on steel pipe piles and concrete piles at five construction sites in highway to compare the difference of load bearing mechanisms. At each site, one steel pile is instrumented with electric strain gages and dynamic tests are performed on the pile during installation. Damages of strain gages due to the installation are checked and static test is performed upon the same pile after two or seven days as well. It shows that load transfer from side friction to base resistance behaves somewhat differently according to the results of load-settlement analysis obtained from PDA and static load test. Initial elastic stage of load settlement curves of two load tests is almost similar. But after the yielding point, dynamic resistance of pile behaves more stiffer than static resistance, thus, dynamic load test result might overestimate the real pile capacity compared with static result. Analysis of gage readings shows that unit skin friction increases exponentially with depth. The skin friction is mobilized at the 1∼2m above the pile tip and contributes to the considerable side resistance. Comparison of side and base resistances between the measured value and the calculated value by Meyerhof's bearing capacity equation using SPT N value shows that the calculated base resistance is higher than the measured. Therefore, contribution of side resistance to total capacity shouldn't be ignored or underestimated. Finally, based upon the overall test results, a construction control procedure is suggested.

말뚝의 주면마찰력은 전체 지지력중 상당한 하중을 지지할 수 있으나 실제 설계시에는 무시되는 경우가 많이 있다. 주면마찰력을 설계에 반영할 경우에도 계산결과의 신뢰도는 매우 낮은 것이 현실이다. 국내의 사정은, 설계 자료로 활용할 수 있는 것은 표준관입시험 결과뿐인 경우가 대부분으로 빈곤하며 특히 국내에 많은 화강암, 편마암의 풍화잔류토에 관해서는 설계자료가 극히 희박해 외국에 비해 열악하다. 최근에 국내에서 개발된 간편한 말뚝재하시험(simple pile loading test: SPLT)의 사용은 선단지지력과 주면마찰력의 별도 측정이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 풍화잔류토 지반에서의 SPLT 결과를 분석하여 N값에 의한 새로운 설계관계식을 제안하였다.
