This study investigates the uplift capacity of a single vertical belled pile buried at shallow depth in dry sand. The laboratory model experiments are conducted with different pile-tip angles and relative densities. In addition, image and FEM analyses are performed to observe the failure surface of the belled pile for different pile-tip angles and relative densities. Accordingly, the uplift capacity and failure angle in the failure surface of the belled pile were found to depend on the belled pile-tip angle and relative density. A predictive model for the uplift capacity of the belled pile was proposed considering the relative density and belled pile-tip angle based on a previous limit equilibrium equation. To validate the applicability of the proposed model, the values calculated using the proposed and previous models were compared to those obtained through a laboratory model experiment. The proposed model had the best agreement with the laboratory model experiment.

Pile foundations have been used for upholding superstructure's loads. The researches on pile foundations subjected to compressive forces or horizontal loads have been actively carried out. However, recently, pile foundations, which are subjected to pull-out forces, are getting increased. The study on the pull-out resistance of piles becomes to be important. In addition, it is expected that belled piles will be used more and more, since the belled piles are effective to resist the pull-out forces. But there is still a lack of research on pull-out resistance of belled piles. Therefore, in order to investigate the resisting effect against pull-out of belled piles which is embedded in cohesionless soil. a series of pull-out test is performed on belled piles in field. Especially, the relation between load and displacement is analyzed through the pull-out test.

The Pusan clays are soft and thick deposits and in some places, they reach even up to 50-70m. So, the pile foundations are inevitable in almost all cases. But they are significantly expansive when the length of the pile reaches about 70m. In this study, a comprehensive parametric study has been carried out in order to reduce the pile length and number of piles required in turn the cost of the foundation for particular building. A belled shaft pile has been optimized for a typical soil profile using the PLAXIS (FEM code). These results have shown a new direction of the pile foundation in Pusan, Korea. The results including the variation of contact pressures at the bottom of the bell, optimization of the angle of the bell and height of the bell in terms of the diameter of the shaft. And also, the design curves have been generated so that they can be directly used for design of belled shaft foundations. However, the structural strength criterion is being checked in the concerned laboratory.

연안개발과 해안매립을 사용하여 개발된 새로운 도시 건설의 수요가 증가하면서 해안구조물과 고층구조물의 시공이 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 구조물에서 수평력과 인발력을 받는 구조물의 기초의 적용이 증가하고 있으며, 특히 구조물에서 인발력에 효과적으로 저항하기 위한 기초형식으로 선단확장형말뚝의 사용이 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 압축력을 받는 기초에 관한 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나, 선단확장형말뚝의 인발저항에 관한 연구는 미비한 상태이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국외 4개 현장을 대상으로 선단확장형말뚝을 시공하고 정재하시험을 실시하여 말뚝의 지지력 및 하중-변위특성과 주면마찰력을 고려한 하중분담을 고찰하였다. 또한 3차원 유한요소해석 및 이론에 의해 산정된 극한인발력과 현장시험의 극한인발력을 비교 평가하였다.
