대구경 말뚝의 수평 하중전이 거동 및 변형 해석을 위해 수평하중전이 해석법(p-y 곡선법)이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 기존 p-y 해석법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여, 지반의 연속성을 고려한 수평 지반저항력 산정법을 고찰하였으며, 3차원 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 연속체 모델링을 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 심도별 말뚝 주변부 발생응력을 바탕으로 하중전이 함수를 산정하고 지반 연속성에 영향을 주는 인자들을 매개변수 연구를 통해 검증하였다. 현장재하시험 사례와의 비교분석 결과, 말뚝 주변부 지반응력을 이용한 유한요소 해석방법은 기존 p-y 곡선에 비해 수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 하중전이 거동을 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서, 수평하중을 받는 대구경, 대심도 말뚝 설계 시, 신뢰성 있는 수평하중전이 함수의 산정이 중요하며, 지반연속성을 고려하면 보다 경제적인 설계를 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Analysis of the behavior of a laterally loaded pile is important in the design of critical civil structures. Recently, the electric strain gauge has been widely used to measure the strains along the pile. The electric strain gauge, due to lack of durability, is inappropriate in the use of long-term measurements. Herein, the feasibility of implementing the FBG sensor was investigated using a cantilever-type calibrator in laboratory. A special calibrating tool called "cantilever-calibrator" was used to calibrate the FBG sensors. The calibrator consists of a special calibration beam, a holding-clamp at one end of the beam, and a micrometer on the other end. Three FBG sensors were installed on the calibration beam. The strains measured by FBG sensors were compared with those calculated theoretically using cantilever beam theory. The calibration factor of FBG sensors were suggested to compensate the difference between measured and calculate strains.

The analysis of laterally loaded piles is generally carried out by idealizing the soil mass as Winkler springs, which is a crude approximation; however this approach gives reasonable results for many practical applications. For more precise analysis, the three- dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) is one of the best alternatives. The FEA uses the modulus of elasticity $E_s$ of soil, which can be determined in the laboratory by conducting suitable laboratory tests on undisturbed soil samples. Because of the different concepts and idealizations in these two approaches, the results are expected to vary significantly. In order to investigate this fact in detail, three-dimensional finite element analyses were carried out using different combinations of soil and pile characteristics. The FE results related to the pile deflections are compared with the closed-form solutions in which the modulus of subgrade reaction $k_s$ is evaluated using the well-known $k_s-E_s$ relationship. In view of the observed discrepancy between the FE results and the closed-form solutions, an improved relationship between the modulus of subgrade reaction and the elastic constants is proposed, so that the solutions from the closed-form equations and the FEA can be closer to each other.

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.

Piles and pile foundations have been in common use since very early times. Usually function of piles is to carry load to a depth at which adequate support is available. Another important use of piles is to furnish lateral support and nowadays it is getting highlighted due to the wind load, lateral action of earthquake, and so on. After Broms (1964), many researchers have been suggested methods for estimating lateral capacity of pile. But each method assumes different earth pressure distribution and lateral earth pressure coefficient and it gives confusion to pile designers. Lateral earth pressure, essential in lateral capacity estimation, influenced by pile's behavior under lateral load. Prasad and Chari (1999) assumed the rotation point of pile and suggested an equation of ultimate lateral load capacity. In this study, we investigate the depth of rotation point in both homogeneous soil and multi layered soil, and compare to the estimation value by previous research. To model the pile set up in the sand, we use the chamber and small scale steel pile, and rain drop method. Test results show the rotation point is formed where the Prasad and Chari's estimation value, and they also show multi layered condition affects to location of rotation point to be scattered.

The paper presents the analysis of two groups of piles subjected to lateral loads incorporating the non-linear behaviour of soil. The finite element method is adopted for carrying out the parametric study of the pile groups. The pile is idealized as a one dimensional beam element, the pile cap as two dimensional plate elements and the soil as non-linear elastic springs using the p-y curves developed by Georgiadis et al. (1992). Two groups of piles, embedded in a cohesive soil, involving two and three piles in series and parallel arrangement thereof are considered. The response of the pile groups is found to be significantly affected by the parameters such as the spacing between the piles, the number of piles in a group and the orientation of the lateral load. The non-linear response of the system is, further, compared with the one by Chore et al. (2012) obtained by the analysis of a system to the present one, except that the soil is assumed to be linear elastic. From the comparison, it is observed that the non-linearity of soil is found to increase the top displacement of the pile group in the range of 66.4%-145.6%, while decreasing the fixed moments in the range of 2% to 20% and the positive moments in the range of 54% to 57%.

Fourteen model pile load tests using a calibration chamber and instrumented model pile were preformed to investigate the variation of the behaviors of driven piles in sands with soil and lateral cyclic loading conditions. Results of the model tests showed that the first loading cycle generated more than 70% of the pile head rotation developed for 50 lateral loading cycles. Lateral cyclic loading also made an increase of the ultimate lateral load capacity of piles for $K_0$=0.4 and an decrease for $K_0$ higher than 0.4. Higher portion of the increase or decrease in the ultimate lateral load capacity by lateral cyclic loading was generated for the first loading cycle due to densification of loosening of the soil around the pile by lateral cyclic loading. It was also observed that a two-way cyclic loading caused higher ultimate lateral load capacity of driven piles than a one-way cyclic loading. When the pile was in the ultimate state, the maximum bending moment developed in the pile increased with increasing $K_0$ value of soil and was insensitive to the magnitude and number of lateral cyclic loading.

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.

본 연구에서는 횡방향 하중을 받는 말뚝의 해석 해를 유도하고 그로부터 말뚝의 거동분석과 더불어 긴 말뚝으로의 거동기준이 되는 임계 말뚝길이(critical pile length)를 지반조건을 달리하여 구하고 비교 분석하였다. 또한 해석 해에 의한 말뚝의 거동과 p-y곡선을 적용한 수치해석을 통해 말뚝의 거동을 비교분석하였다. 해석 해에 따르면 밀도를 달리한 지반조건에 대해 무차원 임계 말뚝길이는 해석에서 고려한 세 가지 말뚝머리 경계조건에 있어 2.3~3.2 사이였다. 해석 해에 의한 결과와 수치해석에 의한 결과를 비교하면 말뚝길이에 따른 말뚝의 변형과 모멘트 분포양상은 유사하였다. 말뚝머리 변형량은 해석에 의한 경우가 수치해석에 의한 경우보다 보수적인 값을 보여주었으며 휨모멘트의 값은 해석에 의한 값과 수치해석에 의한 값 사이에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

A fundamental study of drilled shafts-soil systems subjected to lateral cyclic loading in weathered soil was conducted using numerical analyses. The emphasis was on quantifying the soil resistance of laterally cyclic loaded pile using 3D finite element analysis. The appropriate parametric studies needed for verifying the cyclic p-y characteristic are presented in this paper. A framework for determining the cyclic lateral load transfer curve (p-y curves) on the basis of numerical analyses is proposed. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, the three-dimensional numerical methodology in the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements and thus, represents a realistic soil-pile interaction for laterally loaded piles in soil than that of existing p-y method. It can be said that a rigorous present analysis can overcome the limitations of existing cyclic p-y methods to some extent by considering the effect of realistic three-dimensional combination of pile-soil forces. The proposed cyclic p-y curve is shown to be capable of predicting the behavior of the drilled shafts in weathered soil.
