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.

Current design of pile group is based on the estimation of the overall bearing capacity of a pile group from that of a single pile using a group efficiency. However, the behaviors of a pile group are influenced by various factors such as method of pile installation, pile-soil-pile interaction, cap-soil-pile interaction, etc. Thus it is practically impossible to take into account these factors reasonably with the only group efficiency, In this paper, a new method for the design of pile groups is proposed, where the significant factors affecting the behavior of a pile group are considered separately by adopting several efficiencies. Furthermore, in the proposed method, the load transfer characteristics of piles and the difference of pile behaviors with respect to the pile locations in group can be taken into account. The efficiencies for the method are determined using the settlement failure criterion, which is consistent with the concept of allowable settlement for structures. The efficiencies calculated from the results of existing model tests are presented, and the bearing capacity of a pile group in the other model test is calculated and compared with that from the test result, to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Piles installed in row(s) are used as an effective technique to improve the stability of soil slopes. The analysis of pile-stabilized slopes require a reliable prediction of lateral resistance offered by the piles. In this work, an analytical solution is developed to estimate the lateral resistance offered by the stabilizing piles in sand and c - 𝜙 soil slopes considering soil arching phenomenon. The soil arching in both horizontal direction (between the neighboring piles) and vertical direction (in the active wedge in front of the pile row) are studied and their effects are incorporated in the proposed model. The shape of soil arch is assumed to be circular and principal stress trajectories are defined separately for both modes of arching. Experimental and numerical studies found in literature were used to validate the proposed method. A detailed parametric analysis was performed to study the influence of pile diameter, center-to-center spacing, slope angle and angle of internal friction on the lateral pile resistance.

There is an increasing need for the estimation of foundation piles whose depths are unknown. Especially in repair and reinforcement works or in safety inspection and assessment to the big structures whose foundations are piles, the accurate information about the depth of foundation piles is one of the most important factors. A borehole magnetic tool has been developed and tested to meet this object. The fundamental base is that there usually exist many re-bars inside the foundation structure such as piles, and these re-bars are ferromagnetic materials which cause strong induced magnetic field comparable to the earth magnetic field. It utilizes flux-gate type magnetometer which measures 3-components of the magnetic field. Taking vertical derivatives of vertical component of the measured magnetic field, we can expect the error limit of estimating the depth of the pile end less than 20 cm in favorable condition. The maximum measurable distance is about 3 m to the pile from the borehole. The field data show that borehole magnetics is one of the most accurate, fast, and reliable methods for this object so far, as long as there is no magnetic materials such as deep located steel pipe or power cables close to the foundation piles.

In this study, a numerical analysis method for soil-pile interaction in frequency domain problem is presented. The total soil-pile interaction system is divided into two parts so called near field and far field. In the near field, beam elements are used for a pile and plain strain finite elements for soil. In the far field, dynamic fundamental solution for multi-layered half planes based on boundary element formulation is adopted for soil. These two fields are coupled using FE-BE coupling technique In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis, the dynamic responses of pile on multi-layered half planes are simulated and the results are compared with the experimental results. Also, the dynamic response analyses of interface spring elements are performed. As a result, less spring stiffness makes the natural frequency decrease and the resonant amplitude increase.

지진시 지진의 3가지 진동 성분이 나타난다. 즉 수평진동 성분, 지반의 연직 진동에 의해 발생된 상부 구조물과의 피드백의 의한 말뚝의 연지 진동, 그리고 연직 지반 진동에 의한 해수의 진동, 즉, 해진이 그것들이다 이들 진동들을 해양에 설치된 개단 강관 말뚝 주변에 유발된 간극수압의 크기와 관내토 폐색력에 영향을 미칠수 있다 지반과 말뚝의 진동은 유사 지진 진동으로써 흙과 말뚝을 진동시켜서 모델링할 수 있지만 연직 지반 거동에 의해 유발된 해진 진동은 해저면에 정현파 형상의 동수압을 가해주어 모델링할 수 있다 이 연구에서는 유사화된 지진과 해진시 압력토조에 설치된 개단강관말뚝에 유발된 간극수압의 발생양상과 이에 따라 관내토 폐색력의 저감원인을 관찰하였다 연직 지진 진동시 관내토 상단에서는 관내토 하단에서와 비슷한 크기의 간극수압이 발생하였으므로 관내토에서는 상향의 침토가 유발되지 않았으며수평지진 진동시 관내토에서는 상향의 침트를 유발시켜 관내토 폐쇄력을 20%정도 저감시켰다. 해진시 수심이 220m 이상의 심해에 설치된 개단 강과 말뚝의 경우 관내토 하부 지반과 관대토 상단과의 매우 큰 동수경사로 인하여 관내토 내에 상향의 침투가 발생하여 관내토의 폐색을 파괴시켰다.

말뚝의 재하시험이 연직지지력을 추정하기 위한 다양한 정보를 제공한다 할지라도 시험 말뚝을 극한하중까지 도달하도록 충분히 재하시킨다는 것은 상당히 어려운 일이며, 이와 같이 파괴시까지 재하하지 못한 말뚝의 연직재하시험의 결과로부터 지지력을 추정하는데 있어서 많은 도해적 방법과 수학적 방법이 시도되었다. 파괴하중을 추정하기 위하여 Southwel 연 이론을 기초로 최대곡률을 이용한 해석적 방법이 필자 등에 의하여 발표된 바 있다. 여기서 파괴하중은 Crowther가 정의한 바와 같이 특정한 기준 을 초과하였을 때의 하중으로 정의하였다. 본 논문은 최대곡률 방법에 의한 허용하중을 결정하기 위하여 Davission의 방법 및 DIN 4014의 허용하중과 비교하여 최대곡률 방법의 안전율을 2.5로 제안하였다. 그 결과 파괴시까지 재하하지 못한 연직재하시험의 결과치로부터 말뚝의 연직지지력을 추정 하는데 있어서 최대곡률 방법에 의한 허용하중의 결정은 타당성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

The bearing mechanism of pile during installation and loading process which controls the deformation and distribution of strain and stress in the soil surrounding pile tip is complex and full of much uncertainty. It is pointed out that particle crushing occurs in significant stress concentrated region such as the area surrounding pile tip. The solution to this problem requires the understanding and modeling of the mechanical behavior of granular soil under high pressures. This study aims to investigate the sand behavior around pile tip considering the characteristics of sand crushing. The numerical analysis of model pile loading test under different surcharge pressure with constitutive model for sand crushing is presented. This constitutive model is capable of predicting the dilatancy of soil from negative to positive under low confining pressure and only negative dilatancy under high confining pressure. The predicted relationships between the normalized bearing stress and normalized displacement are agreeable with the experimental results during the entire loading process. It is estimated from numerical results that the vertical stress beneath pile tip is up to 20 MPa which is large enough to cause sand to be crushed. The predicted distribution area of volumetric strain represents that the distributed area shaped wedge for volumetric contraction is beneath pile tip and distributed area for volumetric expansion is near the pile shaft. It is demonstrated that the finite element formulation incorporating a constitutive model for sand with crushing is capable of producing reasonable results for the pile loading problem.

본 연구에서는 압밀을 고려한 고등 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 압밀이 진행 중인 지반에 근입된 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동을 연구하였다. 수치해석에서는 단독말뚝 및 말뚝 중심간의 간격이 2.5D인 $4{\times}4$ 및 $6{\times}6$ 군말뚝을 고려하였다. 여기서 D는 말뚝의 직경을 의미한다. 부마찰에 의한 말뚝의 침하 및 부마찰력은 압밀초기 단계에서 비교적 빠르게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 압밀도가 50~75%를 초과하는 경우 말뚝의 침하 및 부마찰력의 증가량은 상대적으로 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 성토층에서의 부마찰은 신속하게 발현되며 이후의 압밀 단계에서는 일정하게 유지된다. 말뚝에 작용하는 부마찰은 상대변위 및 유효지중응력에 좌우되는 것으로 분석되었다. 압밀 초기단계에서는 상대변위가 큰 영향을 미치는데 비해, 압밀 후반기에서는 유효지중응력이 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 말뚝-인접지반에서의 전단응력 전이로 인해 말뚝과 인접한 흙의 유효수직응력이 감소하며 이러한 현상은 군말뚝에서 특히 현저하다. 부마찰이 영향을 미치는 영역의 범위는 흙의 유효수직응력의 분포를 고려할 경우 말뚝으로부터 수평으로 20D 정도 되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 비해 말뚝에 작용하는 유효수평응력은 far field 조건의 응력과 거의 유사한 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents the results of static vertical load tests carried out on a model building frame supported by pile groups embedded in cohesionless soil (sand). The effect of soil interaction on displacements and rotation at the column base and also the shears and bending moments in the columns of the building frame were investigated. The experimental results have been compared with those obtained from the finite element analysis and conventional method of analysis. Soil nonlinearity in the lateral direction is characterized by the p-y curves and in the axial direction by nonlinear vertical springs along the length of the piles (${\tau}-z$ curves) at their tips (Q-z curves). The results reveal that the conventional method gives the shear force in the column by about 40-60%, the bending moment at the column top about 20-30% and at the column base about 75-100% more than those from the experimental results. The response of the frame from the experimental results is in good agreement with that obtained by the nonlinear finite element analysis.
