Piled raft foundation has become widely used in the recent years because it can increase bearing capacity of foundation with control settlement. The design for a piled raft in terms vertical load and lateral load need to understands contribution load behavior to raft and pile in piled raft foundation system. The load-bearing behavior of the piled raft, especially concerning lateral loads, is highly complex and challenge to analyze. The complex mechanism of piled rafts can be clarified by using three dimensional (3-D) Finite Element Method (FEM). Therefore, this paper focuses on free-standing head pile group, on-ground piled raft, and embedded raft for the piled raft foundation systems. The lateral resistant of piled raft foundation was investigated in terms of relationship between vertical load, lateral load and displacement, as well as the lateral load sharing of the raft. The results show that both vertical load and raft position significantly impact the lateral load capacity of the piled raft, especially when the vertical load increases and the raft embeds into the soil. On the same condition of vertical settlement and lateral displacement, piled raft experiences a substantial demonstrates a higher capacity for lateral load sharing compared to the on-ground raft. Ultimately, regarding design considerations, the piled raft can reliably support lateral loads while exhibiting behavior within the elastic range, in which it is safe to use.

PC 암거는 터파기, 하부지반 처리, 암거 거치, 상호접합면에 누수방지용 패킹재 부착, PS 강선의 긴장을 통한 상호박스 접합, 되메우기 등의 일련의 과정으로 시공되어진다. 이 때 부적절한 하부지반 처리는 박스간 상호 부등침하를 야기할 수 있으며 결과적으로 지하수의 와류 및 내부유수의 누수를 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 하부지반이 연약한 경우 PC 암거 접합부의 부등침하를 저감하기 위하여 개발된 PC 기초판과 일체화된 암거의 거동을 현장 시험시공을 통해 분석하였다. 암거의 거동은 접합부에서 암거간의 벌어짐, 하부지반에 작용하는 토압 증가량, 암거 상부의 침하량 계측을 통해 분석되었으며, 분석결과로부터 PC 기초판과 일체화된 암거가 일반적인 시공방법인 PS 강선의 인장으로 체결된 암거에 비하여 침하 및 접합부에서 벌어짐이 적게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

When a construction company builds a high structure, many piles should be driven into the ground by a hammer whose weight is 7,000 Kg in order to make the ground under the structure safe and strong. So, it is essential to determine whether a pile is penetrated into the ground enough to support the weight of the structure since ground characteristics at different locations are different each other. This paper proposes a visual measurement system for pile rebound and penetration movement including vibration using a high-speed line-scan camera and a specially designed mark to recognize two-dimensional motion parameters of the mark using only a line-scan camera. A mark stacking white and black right-angled triangles is used for the measurement, and movement information for vertical distance, horizontal distance and rotational angle is determined simultaneously

The effects of the uniform and spatially varying ground motions on the stochastic response of fluid-structure interaction system during an earthquake are investigated by using the displacement based fluid finite elements in this paper. For this purpose, variable-number-nodes two-dimensional fluid finite elements based on the Lagrangian approach is programmed in FORTRAN language and incorporated into a general-purpose computer program SVEM, which is used for stochastic dynamic analysis of solid systems under spatially varying earthquake ground motion. The spatially varying earthquake ground motion model includes wave-passage, incoherence and site-response effects. The effect of the wave-passage is considered by using various wave velocities. The incoherence effect is examined by considering the Harichandran-Vanmarcke and Luco-Wong coherency models. Homogeneous medium and firm soil types are selected for considering the site-response effect where the foundation supports are constructed. A concrete gravity dam is selected for numerical example. The S16E component recorded at Pacoima dam during the San Fernando Earthquake in 1971 is used as a ground motion. Three different analysis cases are considered for spatially varying ground motion. Displacements, stresses and hydrodynamic pressures occurring on the upstream face of the dam are calculated for each case and compare with those of uniform ground motion. It is concluded that spatially varying earthquake ground motions have important effects on the stochastic response of fluid-structure interaction systems.

폐광지역의 침하발생 메커니즘 및 영향범위는 현장의 지반조건, 지압분포, 채굴적의 기하학적인 조건, 상부 구조물의 하중 조건 등에 따라 달라지므로 이를 예측하기는 매우 어렵다. 또한 지질 및 지반 상태, 탄층의 발달 상태, 채굴방법 등이 채굴현장마다 다르므로 기존의 보강대책을 그대로 적용하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 폐광지역에 대한 합리적인 보강대책 수립을 위해 광역 채굴현황조사를 바탕으로 채굴적의 분포를 파악하고, 대심도 시추조사, 탄성파 토모그래피, 시추공 영상촬영 등의 상세 지반조사를 수행하여 석탄층의 분포현황과 암반이완상태를 파악하였다. 이를 토대로 지반침하이론에 의해 침하발생 유형을 예측하고 지반침하량을 산정하였다. 또한, 연구대상 지역의 침하발생 메커니즘을 분석하였으며, 기존 폐광지역 보강사례를 분석하여 각 침하원인별로 대상지역의 지반특성에 부합되는 지반 및 구조물기초에 대한 보강대책을 수립하였다.

The aim of this study is to investigate arrival direction effects of travelling waves on non-linear seismic response of arch dams. It is evident that the seismic waves may reach on the dam site from any direction. Therefore, this study considers the seismic waves arrive to the dam site with different angles, ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$ for non-linear analysis of arch dam-water-foundation interaction system. The N-S, E-W and vertical component of the Erzincan earthquake, on March 13, 1992, is used as the ground motion. Dam-water-foundation interaction is defined by Lagrangian approach in which a step-by-step integration technique is employed. The stress-strain behavior of the dam concrete is idealized using three-dimensional Drucker-Prager model based on associated flow rule assumption. The program NONSAP is employed in response calculations. The time-history of crest displacements and stresses of the dam are presented. The results obtained from non-linear analyses are compared with that of linear analyses.

최근 도심지 지상 구조물의 포화와 함께 극심한 교통난에 대한 해결책으로 터널과 같은 지하공간 개발의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 현재 국내의 많은 지역에서 터널 시공이 이루어지고 있으며, 다양한 터널 확충 정책이 건설계의 화두가 되고 있다. 하지만, 터널굴착에 의한 지반거동을 사전에 분석하는 것은 다양한 조건을 해석하고 고려해야 하므로 매우 어려운 일이다. 기존의 구조물 하부 터널굴착에 대한 연구는 많은 연구자에 의해 수행되었지만, 대부분의 연구에서는 지하수위의 영향을 거의 고려하지 못하였다. 지하수위에 따라 발생되는 간극수압은 지반의 전단강도에 지대한 영향을 미치므로, 지하수 고려 여부에 따라 지반의 거동은 크게 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 고려하지 못한 기존 연구의 한계에서 나아가, 얕은 기초 아래 터널굴착 시 지하수위 위치가 지반거동에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 분석하고자 한다. 이에 따라 지하수위를 고려할 수 있는 새로운 시험 장치를 개발하였으며, 실내모형시험과 함께 근거리 사진계측을 사용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 또한, 수치해석을 통해 소성해석과 연계해석을 수행하여 실내모형시험 결과와 비교하였다. 두 가지의 수치해석 방법과 실내모형시험 결과를 비교하여 실제 도심지 터널 굴착 모델에 적합한 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

Korea is part of a region of low or moderate seismic zone in which few earthquakes have been monitored, so it is difficult to approve design ground motions and seismic responses on structures from response spectrum. In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge model tests for demonstrating seismic amplification characteristics in soil-foundation-structure system were performed using electro-hydraulic shaking table mounted on the KOCED 5.0 m radius beam centrifuge at KAIST in Korea. The soil model were prepared by raining dry sand and $V_S$ profiles were determined by performing bender element tests before shaking. The foundation types used in this study are shallow embedded foundation and deep basement fixed on the bottom. Total 7 building structures were used and the response of building structures were compared with response spectrum from the acceleration records on surface.

A fully coupled non-linear effective stress response finite difference (FD) model is built to survey the counter-intuitive recent findings on the reliance of pore water pressure ratio on foundation contact pressure. Two alternative design scenarios for a benchmark problem are explored and contrasted in the light of construction emission rates using the EFFC-DFI methodology. A strain-hardening effective stress plasticity model is adopted to simulate the dynamic loading. A combination of input motions, contact pressure, initial vertical total pressure and distance to foundation centreline are employed, as model variables, to further investigate the control of permanent and variable actions on the residual pore pressure ratio. The model is verified against the Ghosh and Madabhushi high acceleration field test database. The outputs of this work are aimed to improve the current computer-aided seismic foundation design that relies on ground's packing state and consistency. The results confirm that on seismic excitation of shallow foundations, the likelihood of effective stress loss is greater in deeper depths and across free field. For the benchmark problem, adopting a shallow foundation system instead of piled foundation benefitted in a 75% less emission rate, a marked proportion of which is owed to reduced materials and haulage carbon cost.

The monopile-friction wheel hybrid foundation is an innovative solution for offshore structures which are mainly subjected to large lateral eccentric load induced by winds, waves, and currents during their service life. This paper presents an extensive numerical analysis to investigate the lateral load and moment bearing performances of hybrid foundation, considering various potential influencing factors in sand-overlaying-clay soil deposits, with the complex lateral loads being simplified into a resultant lateral load acting at a certain height above the mudline. Finite element models are generated and validated against experimental data where very good agreements are obtained. The failure mechanisms of hybrid foundations under lateral loading are illustrated to demonstrate the effect of the friction wheel in the hybrid system. Parametric study shows that the load bearing performances of the hybrid foundation is significantly dependent of wheel diameter, pile embedment depth, internal friction angle of sand, loading eccentricity (distance from the load application point to the ground level), and the thickness of upper sandy layer. Simplified empirical formulae is proposed based on the numerical results to predict the corresponding lateral load and moment bearing capacities of the hybrid foundation for design application.
