Using large monopod bucket foundations as an alternative to monopiles for offshore wind turbines offers the potential for large cost savings compared to typical piled foundations. In this paper, numerical simulations are carried out to assess the risk of structural buckling during installation of large-diameter bucket foundations. Since shell structures are generally sensitive to initially imperfect geometries, eigenmode-affine imperfections are introduced in a nonlinear finite-element analysis. The influence of modelling the real lid structure compared to classic boundary conditions is investigated. The effects of including soil restraint and soil-structure interaction on the buckling analysis are also addressed.

Two hyperbolic displacement models are used for the bending response of simply-supported orthotropic laminated composite plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundations under mechanical loading. The models contain hyperbolic expressions to account for the parabolic distributions of transverse shear stresses and to satisfy the zero shear-stress conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plates. The present theory takes into account not only the transverse shear strains, but also their parabolic variation across the plate thickness and requires no shear correction coefficients in computing the shear stresses. The governing equations are derived and their closed-form solutions are obtained. The accuracy of the models presented is demonstrated by comparing the results obtained with solutions of other theories models given in the literature. It is found that the theories proposed can predict the bending analysis of cross-ply laminated composite plates resting on elastic foundations rather accurately. The effects of Winkler and Pasternak foundation parameters, transverse shear deformations, plate aspect ratio, and side-to-thickness ratio on deflections and stresses are investigated.

Micropile has been widely used for reinforcing general grounds, improving slope stability and structural foundations. However, a need still exists for evaluating the effects of inclined micropiles on shallow foundations in Korea. In this paper, numerical analyses were presented to evaluate settlement characteristics on shallow foundations reinforced by micropiles and the effects of inclined micropiles under various conditions such as the installation position, installation angle, hardness(diameter), and grouting type. In addition, this paper reports trends of effectiveness and efficiency of using inclined micropiles on shallow foundations under specified conditions.

Piled raft foundations are usually used to reduce total and differential settlements of superstructures. In the piled raft foundations, the raft is often on its own able to provide adequate bearing capacity and only few widely spaced piles are added to the foundation to keep settlements be1ow a certain limit. In this paper, experimental studies on the load sharing ratio between piles and raft are carried out. Also, for evaluating the application of optimum design technique using a genetic algorithm, optimal locations of files are compared with the results of laboratory model tests. from tile results of laboratory model tests, there are found that the load sharing ratio between files and raft is depended on the number of piles and stiffness of raft, and the optimal locations of piles became concentrated on the middle of rafts. From these results of laboratory model tests, the optimum technique using a genetic algorithm is acknowledged to the application in the piled raft.

An elasto-dynamic model for pile-soil-pile interaction together with a simple plate model is used in this study to assess the effect of flexible foundation slabs on the dynamic response of pile groups. To this end, different pile configurations with various slab thicknessesare considered in two soil media with low and high elastic moduli. The analyses include dynamic impedances and seismic responses of pile-group foundations. The presented results indicate that the stiffness and damping of pile foundations increase with thickness of the foundation slab; however, the results approach those for rigid slab as the slab thickness approaches twice the pile diameter for the cases considered in this study. The results also reveal that pile foundations with flexible slabs may amplify the earthquake motions by as much as 10 percent in the low to intermediate frequency ranges.

연약지반에 적용하여 인력 및 장비의 진입을 용이하게 함은 물론 나아가 가시설이나 소형구조물의 기초로서의 역할도 가능한 간편하고 효율적인 공법의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 얕은기초에 설치되는 저면돌출벽의 지내력 증대 효과를 확인하고 간격과 길이에 따라 연약지반상 기초의 지내력이 어떻게 달라지는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 재하장치가 설치된 토조에 연약지반을 조성하고 다양한 간격과 길이의 저면돌출벽을 가진 모형기초에 대해 재하시험을 실시하여 지지력과 침하량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 연약지반에서 얕은기초에 저면돌출벽을 장치하면 지내력 증대 효과를 얻을 수 있으며 돌출벽의 길이가 길수록, 개수가 증가할수록 전반적으로 지내력은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 또한 저면돌출벽의 길이 대 폭 비가 1일 때 즉, 돌출벽과 기초 저면이 이루는 형상이 정사각형일 때 최적의 효과를 보이며 이 경우 지내력은 약 25% 증대된다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 이용하여 Pasternak 지반 위에 놓인 보강판의 고유치해석을 수행하였다. 보강판 해석은 Mindlin 판 이론과 Timoshenko 보-기둥 이론을 적용하여 해석하였으며, 유한요소법 적용시 판요소는 8절점 Serendipity 요소계를, 보요소는 3절점 유한요소를 적용하였다. 탄성지반은 지반의 연속성을 고려한 Pasternak 지반으로 모형화하였다. 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이 연구의 결과를 문헌, 실험 및 SAP 2000의 결과와 비교하였다. 이 연구의 결과로 문헌 해가 존재하지 않는 Pasternak 지반 위에 놓인 보강판의 지반 변수의 변화 및 보강재 크기에 따른 고유진동수를 산정하였다.

구조물-지반-구조물 상호작용을 확인하기 위하여 다양한 크기를 가지는 얕은 기초에 대하여 원심모형실험에 의한 진동대실험을 실시하고 결과를 분석하였다. 낙사법을 이용하여 지반을 조성하였으며, 두 기초의 이격 거리 및 매립에 따른 거동을 평가하였다. 원심모형실험 시 측정된 깊이별 지반 가속도는 입력 지진파의 크기가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 증폭 현상에 의하여 지표면에서 가장 큰 값을 보였다. 두 기초의 이격 거리가 줄어듦에 따라 구조물-지반-구조물 상호작용에 의하여 가속도 응답 스펙트럼 비(RRS)의 크기는 커지며, RRS 값이 최대가 되는 주기는 줄어 들었다. 동일한 이격 거리에서 기초가 지반에 매립될 경우, 두 기초의 RRS는 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

To research and analyze the differential settlements of foundations specifically, site investigations of existing railways and metro were firstly carried out. Then, the centrifugal test was used to observe differential settlements in different position between foundations on the basis of investigation. The theoretical model was established according to the stress diffusion method and Fourier method to establish an analytical solution of embankment differential settlement between different foundations. Finally, theoretical values and experimental values were analyzed comparatively. The research results show that both in horizontal and vertical directions, evident differential settlement exists in a limited area on both sides of the vertical interface between different foundations. The foundation with larger elastic modulus can transfer more additional stress and cause relatively less settlement. Differential settlement value decreases as the distance to vertical interface decreases. In the vertical direction of foundation, mass differential settlement also exists on both sides of the vertical interface and foundation with larger elastic modulus can transfer more additional stress. With the increase of relative modulus of different foundations, foundation with lower elastic modulus has larger settlement. Meanwhile, differential settlement is more obvious. The main error sources in theoretical and experimental values include: (a) different load form; (b) foundation characteristics differences; (c) modulus conversion; (d) effect of soil internal friction.
