This paper presents experimental results of a series of 1-g shaking table model tests performed on end-bearing single piles and pile groups to investigate the effect of particle size on the dynamic behavior of soil-pile systems. Two soil-pile models consisting of a single-pile and a $4{\times}2$-pile group were tested twice; first using Jumoonjin sand, and second using Australian Fine sand, which has a smaller particle size. In the case of single-pile models, the lateral displacement was almost within 1% of pile diameter which corresponds to the elastic range of the pile. The back-calculated p-y curves show that the subgrade reaction of the Jumoonjin-sand-model ground was larger than that of the Australian Fine-sand-model ground at the same displacement. This phenomenon means that the stress-strain behavior of Jumoonjin sand was initially stiffer than that of Australian Fine sand. This difference was also confirmed by resonant column tests and compression triaxial tests. And the single pile p-y backbone curves of the Australian fine sand were constructed and compared with those of the Jumoonjin sand. As a result, the stiffness of the p-y backbone curves of Jumunjin sand was larger than those of Australian fine sand. Therefore, using the same p-y curves regardless of particle size can lead to inaccurate results when evaluating dynamic behavior of soil-pile system. In the case of the group-pile models, the lateral displacement was much larger than the elastic range of pile movement at the same test conditions in the single-pile models. The back-calculated p-y curves in the case of group pile models were very similar in both sands because the stiffness difference between the Jumoonjin-sand-model ground and the Australian Fine-sand-model ground was not significantly large at a large strain level, where both sands showed non-linear behavior. According to a series of single pile and group pile test results, the evaluation group pile effect using the p-multiplier can lead to inaccurate results on dynamic behavior of soil-pile system.

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.

말뚝의 동적거동은 말뚝과 지반 사이의 동적 상호작용에 큰 영향을 받는다. 특히, 경사지반에 설치된 말뚝은 진동방향에 따른 지반저항력 차이, 지반 변위 등에 의해 말뚝-지반 동적상호작용이 매우 복잡해진다. 본 연구에서는 건조 사질토 경사지반에 설치된 단일말뚝과 2×2 무리말뚝에 대하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, 말뚝과 지반 변위 사이의 위상차 및 동적 p-y 곡선 등을 산정하여 경사지반, 단일말뚝과 무리말뚝, 입력가속도 진폭 등의 조건이 말뚝-지반 동적 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지반-말뚝 사이의 운동학적 힘이 말뚝의 동적거동에 큰 영향을 주며, 동적 p-y 곡선이 지반경사, 잔류변위, 운동학적 힘의 영향 등으로 매우 복잡한 형상을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

The dynamic behavior of a single pile was investigated by using analytical and numerical studies. The focus of this study was to develop the dynamic p-y curve of a pile for pseudo-static analysis considering the shear wave velocity of the soil by using three-dimensional numerical analyses. Numerical analyses were conducted for a single pile in dry sand under changing conditions such as the shear wave velocity of the soil and the acceleration amplitudes. The proposed dynamic p-y curve is a shape of hyperbolic function that was developed to take into account the influence of the shear wave velocity of soil. The applicability of pseudo-static analysis using the proposed dynamic p-y curve shows good agreement with the general trends observed by dynamic analysis. Therefore, the proposed dynamic p-y curve represents practical improvements for the seismic design of piles.

Based on the theory of porous media, an interaction system of a floating pile and a saturated soil in cylindrical coordinates subjected to vertical harmonic load is presented in this paper. The surrounding soil is separated into two distinct layers. The upper soil layer above the level of pile base is described as a saturated viscoelastic medium and the lower soil layer is idealized as equivalent spring-dashpot elements with complex stiffness. Considering the cylindrically symmetry and the pile-soil compatibility condition of the interaction system, a frequency-domain analytical solution for dynamic impedance of the floating pile embedded in saturated viscoelastic soil is also derived, and reduced to verify it with existing solutions. An extensive parametric analysis has been conducted to reveal the effects of the impedance of the lower soil base, the interaction coefficient and the damping coefficient of the saturated viscoelastic soil layer on the vertical vibration of the pile-soil interaction system. It is shown that the vertical dynamic impedance of the floating pile significantly depends on the real stiffness of the impedance of the lower soil base, but is less sensitive to its dynamic damping variation; the behavior of the pile in poro-visco-elastic soils is totally different with that in single-phase elastic soils due to the existence of pore liquid; the effect of the interaction coefficient of solid and liquid on the pile-soil system is limited.

Inclined piles are commonly used in civil engineering constructions where significant lateral resistance is required. Many researchers proved their positive performance on the seismic behavior of the supported structure and the piles themselves. However, most of these numerical studies were done within the framework of linear elastic or elastoplastic soil behavior, neglecting therefore the soil non-linearity at low and moderate soil strains which is questionable and could be misleading in dynamic analysis. The main objective of this study is to examine the influence of the pile inclination on the seismic performance of the soil-pile-structure system when both the linear elastic and the nonlinear soil models are employed. Based on the comparative responses, the adequacy of the soil's linear elastic behavior will be therefore evaluated. The analysis is conducted by generating a three-dimensional finite difference model, where a full interaction between the soil, structure, and inclined piles is considered. The numerical survey proved that the pile inclination can have a significant impact on the internal forces generated by seismic activity, specifically on the bending moment and shear forces. The main disadvantages of using inclined piles in this system are the bending forces at the head and pile-to-head connection. It is crucial to account for soil nonlinearity to accurately assess the seismic response of the soil-pile-structure system.

말뚝의 동적 거동은 지반-말뚝의 동적상호작용, 지반의 비선형성, 지반-말뚝 시스템의 공진 현상 등 많은 요소가 상호 작용을 하므로 매우 복잡하다. 그러므로, 말뚝의 동적 거동을 수치해석으로 정확히 모사하려면 많은 노력과 시간이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 범용 수치해석 프로그램인 FLAC 3D를 활용하면서도 해석시간을 크게 감소 시킬 수 있는 새로운 모델링 기법을 개발하였다. 본 기법은 전체 해석 영역을 근역 지반과 원역 지반으로 나누고 지반-말뚝 동적상호작용에 영향을 받지 않는 원역 지반을 요소망으로 모델링하는 대신 원역 지반의 지반 운동 시간이력을 근역 지반의 경계 조건에 입력 하중으로 적용하는 기법이다. 이 수치 모델링에서 지진파의 강도가 클 때 일어나는 지반의 비선형 거동을 모사하기 위하여 이력 감쇠 모델을 이용하여 접선 탄성 계수를 전단 변형률의 함수 값으로 입력하였으며, 지반과 말뚝 사이의 분리 현상을 모사하기 위하여 지반-말뚝 경계 요소를 도입하였다. 이 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하여 해석 결과의 정확성을 유지하면서 해석 시간을 1/3로 감소시켰다. 제안된 수치해석 방법으로 예측한 1g 진동대 모형 실험의 원형 거동은 원형으로 환산한 모형 실험 결과와 유사하게 나타났다.

Simplified analytical solutions are developed for the dynamic analyses of an axially loaded pile foundation embedded in a transverse-isotropic, fluid-filled, poro-visco-elastic soil with rigid substratum. The pile is modeled as a viscoelastic Rayleigh-Love rod, while the surrounding soil is regarded as a transversely isotropic, liquid-saturated, viscoelastic, porous medium of which the mechanical behavior is represented by the Boer's poroelastic media model and the fractional derivative model. Upon the separation of variables, the frequency-domain responses for the impedance function of the pile top, and the vertical displacement and the axial force along the pile shaft are gained. Then by virtue of the convolution theorem and the inverse Fourier transform, the time-domain velocity response of the pile head is derived. The presented solutions are validated, compared to the existing solution, the finite element model (FEM) results, and the field test data. Parametric analyses are made to show the effect of the soil anisotropy and the excitation frequency on the pile-soil dynamic responses.

다양한 현장 조건에서 일어날 수 있는 건조토 지반-말뚝-구조물 시스템의 동적거동을 평가하고 고찰하기 위해 3차원 수치 모델을 이용한 매개변수 연구가 수행되었다. 강진 시 지반의 비선형 거동을 적절하게 모사하기 위해 상용 유한 차분 프로그램인 FLAC3D를 통해 시간 영역에서 이루어졌다. 지반 구성 모델은 Mohr-Coulomb 탄소성 모델을 적용하였으며 지반 전단 탄성 계수의 비선형적인 감소를 모사할 수 있는 이력 감쇠 모델을 적용하였다. 진동 시 지반-말뚝 간의 완전 접촉, 미끄러짐, 분리 현상을 모두 모사하는 경계요소 모델을 적용하였으며 경계 조건의 경우, 지반-말뚝 상호작용의 영향을 받는 근역 지반만 메쉬를 생성하고 근역 지반의 경계부에 원역 지반의 가속도-시간 이력을 입력하는 방식인 단순화 연속체 모델링 기법을 적용함으로써 해석 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다. 또한, 적절한 최대지반탄성계수와 항복 깊이의 설정으로 지반의 비선형 거동을 더욱 정확히 모사하고자 하였다. 개발된 수치 모델을 이용하여 상부질량의 크기, 말뚝의 길이, 두부 경계조건, 지반의 상대밀도에 대한 매개변수 연구를 수행함으로써 다양한 현장 조건에 대한 지반-말뚝-구조물 시스템의 동적 거동을 평가하였다. 매개변수 연구 결과, 건조토 지반 조건에서는 상부질량에 의한 관성력이 시스템의 동적 거동에 지배적인 영향을 미침을 확인하였으며 지반에 의한 운동력의 영향은 상대적으로 적다고 평가되었다. 또한 짧은 말뚝과 긴 말뚝의 동적 거동 차이 및 말뚝두부 고정단과 자유단의 거동 차이를 해석적으로 검증하였다.
