Wharfs are essential to shipping and support very large gravity loads on both a short-term and long-term basis which cause quite large seismic internal forces. Therefore, these structures are vulnerable to seismic activities. As they are supported on vertical and/or batter piles, soil-pile interaction effects under earthquake events have a great importance in seismic resistance which is not yet fully understood. Seismic design codes have become more stringent and suggest the use of new design methods, such as Performance Based Design principles. According to Turkish Code for Coastal and Port Structures (TCCS 2008), the interaction between soil and pile should somehow be considered in the nonlinear analysis in an accurate manner. This study aims to explore the lateral load carrying capacity of recently designed wharf structures considering soil-pile interaction effects for different soil conditions. For this purpose, nonlinear structure analysis according to TCCS (2008) has been performed comparing simplified and detailed modeling results.

In this study, a numerical method for soil-pile-structure interaction problems in multi-layered half-plane is developed. The total soil-pile-structure interaction system is divided into two parts namely, nonlinear structure part and linear soil-pile interaction parts. In the structure field, the general finite element method is introduced to solve the dynamic equation of motion for the structure. In the soil-pile structure interaction part, physical model consisting of lumped parameter, which is frequency dependent coefficient and determined by rigorous analysis method is introduced. Using proposed analysis procedure, the nonlinear behavior of structure considering soil-structure interaction can be efficiently determined in time domain and the analysis cost is dramatically reduced.

The paper is to show the behavior of composit ground which is installed with sheet pile in soft soil improved by sand compaction pile. The results of load-settlement relationship, earth pressure, stress concentration characteristics, and final water content were obtained by centrifuge model test. Two cases of tests, installation of sheet pile on the corner and both side of the loading plate for the improved SCP ground which was designed twice of the footing width, were performed for the tests under the vertical and horizontal loading and both side of corner. Finite element program(CRISP) for sand compaction pile using elasto-plastic model and numerical analysis for soft soil using modified cam-clay constitutive equation were compared and analized with the results of model tests. The result of analysis show the increased bearing capacity of soil after, SCP and sheet pile was installed.

본 연구에서는 항만구조물 기초지반에 소일-시멘트 파일을 이용한 말뚝식 지반개량을 적용한 90개 단면에 대해 안정검토를 수행하였고, 수치해석을 포함한 모든 항목에서 안정한 단면별 최소치환율을 결정하였으며, 원심모형실험을 통해 수치해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 기초지반이 매우 연약($s_u$ =15kPa이하)한 경우에는 말뚝식 지반개량이 부적합하고, 항만구조물의 말뚝식 지반개량에는 기초지반과 개량체의 강성비(n)가 최대 50~75이하이고 개량체 강도가 2~3MPa인 소일-시멘트 파일공법이 가장 적합하며, 최소치환율 지배인자가 허용수평변위이므로 말뚝식 지반개량을 설계할 때는 반드시 수평변위를 검토해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 심해(<220m)에 설치된 개단말뚝, 폐단 말뚝, 관내토 선단 하부지반 그라우팅말뚝에 대한 압력토조 모형 실험을 수행하여 해진에 대한 안정성을 연구하였으며, 각각의 경우 단일말뚝, 2개 및 4개 군말뚝에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 해진시 단일개단말뚝의 지지력은 말뚝의 지중관입 깊이에 의해 영향을 받았으나, 개단 군말뚝에서는 극히 짧은 (7m)관입깊이를 모델링한 경우를 제외하면 안정하였다. 또한, 단일폐단말뚝과 폐단군말뚝에서는 극히 짧은 97m) 관입깊이를 모델링한 경우만을 제외하면 안정을 유지하였다. 그러나, 13m의 지중관깊이를 모델링한 단일 그라우팅 말뚝의 지지력은 가변상태를 유지하였고, 20m의 관입깊이를 모델링한 그라우팅 군말뚝은 안정하였다.심해에 설치된 개단강관말뚝의 관내토와 선단 하부지반을 그라우팅함으로서 해진에 의한 관내토폐색의 파괴를 막을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 폐단 말뚝은 개단 강관 말뚝보다 해진에 대해 안정하다는 것을 확인하였다.

The finite element method (FEM) is widely used to evaluate the seismic performance of pile-supported buildings. However, there are problems associated with modeling the pile end resistance using the FEM, such as the dependence on the mesh size. This paper proposes a new method of modeling around the pile tip to avoid the mesh size effect in two-dimensional (2D) analyses. Specifically, we consider the area of influence around the pile tip as an artificial constraint on the behavior of the soil. We explain the problems with existing methods of modeling the pile tip. We then conduct a three-dimensional (3D) analysis of a pile in various soil conditions to evaluate the area of influence of the soil around the pile tip. The analysis results show that the normalized area of influence extends approximately 2.5 times the diameter of the pile below the pile tip. Finally, we propose a new method for modeling pile foundations with artificial constraints on the nodal points within the area of influence. The proposed model is expected to be useful in the practical seismic design of pile-supported buildings via a 2D analysis.

The coupled soil-pile-structure seismic response is recently in the spotlight of researchers because of its extensive applications in the different fields of engineering such as bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and buildings. In this paper, a simple analytical model is developed to evaluate the dynamic performance of seismically isolated bridges considering triple interactions of soil, piles, and bridges simultaneously. Novel expressions are proposed to present the dynamic behavior of pile groups in inhomogeneous soils with various shear modulus along with depth. Both cohesive and cohesionless soil deposits can be simulated by this analytical model with a generalized function of varied shear modulus along the soil depth belonging to an inhomogeneous stratum. The methodology is discussed in detail and validated by rigorous dynamic solution of 3D continuum modeling, and time history analysis of centrifuge tests. The proposed analytical model accuracy is guaranteed by the acceptable agreement between the experimental/numerical and analytical results. A comparison of the proposed linear model results with nonlinear centrifuge tests showed that during moderate (frequent) earthquakes the relative differences in responses of the superstructure and the pile cap can be ignored. However, during strong excitations, the response calculated in the linear time history analysis is always lower than the real conditions with the nonlinear behavior of the soil-pile-bridge system. The current simple and efficient method provides the accuracy and the least computational costs in comparison to the full three-dimensional analyses.

본 연구에서는 수평력을 받는 캡과 연결된 무리말뚝의 거동을 파악하고 상호작용계수(p-multiplier)를 산정하기 위하여 $1{\times}3$ 말뚝에 대하여 말뚝간격(s)을 3D, 4D, 5D로 변화시키면서 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이때 모델링은 해석시간을 줄이기 위하여 대칭경계조건을 사용하였고 콘크리트 말뚝은 탄성모델을 적용하였으며 흙의 경우는 Druker-Prager 모델을 이용하였다. 화강풍화토에서 수평력을 받는 무리말뚝의 수치해석결과를 이용하여 말뚝간격에 따른 수평저항력을 외말뚝의 해석결과와 비교 분석하여 p-y 곡선을 구하였고, 이를 이용하여 수평력을 받는 무리말뚝의 각 열에 대해 상호작용계수를 산정하였다. 그 결과 말뚝간격이 증가함에 따라 상호작용계수 값도 증가하였으나 그림자효과에 의해 1.0보다 작은 값으로 나타났다.

To analyze a bearing capacity for pile groups, a number of model tests have been done and theoretical methods studied. In the case of design of group pile bearing capacity is calculated with only pile capacity. But uncertainty of bearing capacity and behavior of foundation cap(raft) leads to conservative design ignoring bearing effects of foundation cap. In the case of considering bearing capacity of foundation cap, the simple sum of bearing capacity of foundation cap and pile groups cannot be the bearing capacity of total foundation system. Since cap-pile-soil interaction affects the behavior of pile groups. Thus, understanding cap-pile-soil interaction is very important in optimal design. In this paper, the piled raft behavior is studied through model tests of 2$\times$2, 2$\times$3, 3$\times$3 pile group. Changes of behavior of pile group foundation by touching effects of foundation cap with soil are studied. Also changes of spacing between piles. Foundation cap is made of rigid steel plate and piles are made steel pipes. From this model tests, the changes of behavior changes of pile groups by touching effects of foundation cap with soil are studied.
