The behavior of the soil subgrade is complex and irregular against loads. When modeling, the soil is often replaced by a more straightforward system called a subgrade model. The Winkler method of linear elastic springs is a popular method of soil modeling in which the spring constant shows the modulus of subgrade reaction. In this research, the factors affecting the distribution of the modulus of subgrade reaction of elastoplastic subgrades are examined. For this purpose, critical theories about the modulus of subgrade reaction were examined. A square raft foundation on a sandy soil subgrade with was analyzed at different internal friction angles and Young's modulus values using ABAQUS software. To accurately model the actual soil behavior, the elastic, perfectly plastic constitutive model was applied to investigate a foundation on discrete springs. In order to increase the accuracy of soil modeling, equations have been proposed for the distribution of the subgrade reaction modulus. The constitutive model of the springs is elastic, perfectly plastic. It was observed that the modulus of subgrade reaction under an elastic load decreased when moving from the corner to the center of the foundation. For the ultimate load, the modulus of subgrade reaction increased as it moved from the corner to the center of the foundation.

The subgrade reaction modulus of a large mat foundation was investigated by using a numerical analysis and a field case study. The emphasis was on quantifying the appropriate method for determining the subgrade reaction modulus for the design of a flexible mat foundation. A series of 3D non-linear FE analyses are conducted with special attention given to the subgrade reaction modulus under various conditions, such as the mat width, mat shape, mat thickness, and soil condition. It is shown that the distribution of the subgrade reaction modulus is non-uniform and that the modulus of subgrade reaction at both the corners and edges should be stiffer than that at the center. Based on the results obtained, a simple modification factor for the subgrade reaction modulus is proposed depending on the relative positions within the foundation in weathered soil and rocks.

수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 해석에서 수평지반반력계수($k_h$)의 결정이 중요하나 시간과 비용 등의 문제로 기존의 제안식을 이용하여 수평지반반력계수를 산정하고 있어 말뚝기초의 거동을 상이하게 평가하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 수평재하시험결과를 이용한 Chang 방법 및 수치해석 역해석 방법으로 수평지반반력계수를 산정하여 기존 제안식과의 상관성을 비교 분석하여 적정성 및 신뢰성을 규명하였다. 수평재하시험에 의한 수평지반반력계수 분석결과는 Chang 방법으로 산정된 값이 역해석에 의한 방법에 비해 과소평가 되었다. 그리고 도로교 표준시방서 방법으로 산정 시 지반의 변형계수는 Eo${\fallingdotseq}$1,400~1,600N 적용하는 경우 수평재하시험에 의한 수평지반반력계수와 유사한 범위를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다.

In this study, the pressuremeter test (PMT) and the standard penetration test (SPT) were performed on the lateral pile loading tests site to evaluate the coefficient of subgrade reaction, which is used for load-deformation behavior analysis of laterally loaded piles by elastic subgrade reaction method. As a result, widely used empirical formulas of the coefficient of subgrade reaction by N values of SPT is evaluated conservatively lateral behavior of piles. While the method of directly used PMT results and evaluation method of the coefficient of subgrade reaction considering deformation moduli of soil and a pile diameter that is able to estimate very similar to actual load-deformation behavior of laterally loaded piles in deformation range of 0.5%-1.0% of a pile diameter.

We have examined the effect of values of subgrade reaction coefficient on the dynamic responses(displacement and strain responses) of the buried concrete pipeline of which the end boundary condition is the fixed ends. We have carried out the dynamic analysis of mode superposition method with representative values of coefficient of subgrade reaction applicable to the classified rock masses. We have found that the effect of subgrade reaction coefficient on the dynamic responses of the pipeline appears noticeable for the seismic waves having relatively high frequency and low apparent propagation velocity.

In this paper, the Coefficient of Subgrade Reaction was analyzed from the data which were the results of lateral pile loading tests and pressuremeter tests on construction sites. The prediction method with N-value was compared with lateral pile loading tests and the results of lateral pile loading tests were compared with the prediction method considering diameter of a pile. Also, the results of lateral pressuremeter tests were compared with those of lateral pile loading tests. As a result, consideration for a diameter and lateral deformation of a pile was needed when the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction is presumed. Therefore, a formula which is taking into account the allowable deformation of a pile was suggested from lateral pressuremeter tests in this study.

말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력을 결정하는 방법으로는 지반반력법과 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 방법이 많이 쓰이고 있는데 설계시 지반반력법에 근거한 방법만을 적용하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반조건과 말뚝머리 구속조건 그리고 말뚝길이에 따른 말뚝의 허용지지력을 이들 두 가지 방법을 적용하여 구하고 상호 비교함으로써 해석에서 고려한 조건들이 말뚝의 허용횡방향지지력 결정법에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 말뚝머리 구속조건 및 말뚝길이에 상관없이 연약 점성토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 지반반력법에 의한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있었고 점성토의 비배수강도가 커짐에 따라 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 사질토 지반에 설치된 말뚝의 경우 느슨한 사질토지반에 설치된 말뚝머리 자유인 짧은말뚝의 경우를 제외하고 모든 경우에 있어 극한횡방향지지력을 통한 허용횡방향지지력이 설계를 지배함을 알 수 있다. 횡방향말뚝의 설게시 허용 횡방향변위량에 근거한 설계만으로 충분하다는 견해도 있지만 본 연구결과에 따르면 극한횡방향지지력에 근거한 허용횡방향지지력의 계산 또한 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 수평지반반력계수는 허용횡방향변위량 이내에서는 말뚝폭에 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었으며 실제 많이 쓰이는 말뚝폭의 범위인 20~90cm 인 경우 말뚝폭의 영향을 무시해도 될 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is showing that the state of pavement sublayers can be evaluated differently according to direction of FWD. METHODS : The concrete pavement slabs above subgrade without anything, subgrade with cavity, and box culvert were modeled by finite element method(FEM). The modeled pavements were analyzed by changing the direction of falling weight deflectometer(FWD). The deflection results obtained from FEM were used to calculate radius of relative stiffness and composite modulus of subgrade reaction using AREA method. Then, the analyzed results were compared to the results of the test performed at the Korea Expressway Corporation(KEC) test road. RESULTS : The composite modulus of subgrade reaction increased with subgrade elastic modulus, while radius of relative stiffness decreased. The pavement sections of pure earth showed the consistent results regardless of FWD direction. In case there was cavity, the radius of relative stiffness was larger and composite modulus of subgrade reaction was smaller when FWD was leaving the cavity than when approaching the cavity. This pattern became clear when the cavity got larger. In case of the section with box culvert, the pattern was opposite to the case of cavity. When the soil cover depth increased, the effect of box culvert got smaller. When the load was applied far from the cavity and box culvert, the effect was also declined. The test performed at the KEC test road showed identical results to those of finite element analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The direction of FWD should be considered in evaluation of the state of pavement sublayers because it can be evaluated differently even under identical condition.

In order to evaluate the performance of axially of laterally loaded piles experimentaly, pile load tests can be carried out at the site Otherwise stress analyses or subgrade reaction analyses can solve the problem. In this study, stress analysis using FLAC code and subgrade reaction analyses using load transfer curves recommended by API(1993) were performed consistently on the basis of a result of site investigations, and the result of analyses was compared with the measured. As a result the behavior of pile heads was analyzed accurately for both axially and laterally loaded tests. Furthermore axially transferred loads were calculated appropriately for the measured and axial loads were transferred mainly mainly by the frictional resistance rather than by the tip resistance. Consequently, it can be commented that both analysis methods of soil-pile systems are applicable at teh objective site and that solutions may be more accurate if material properties from the site investigation are more explicit.
