본 연구는 점토층위의 모래지반에 위치하는 표면기초의 극한지지력에 대해 이론적으로 조사하였다. 실용적인 적용을 위하여 표면기초의 지지력에 관한 연구들에 대한 검토와 논의가 제시되며, 한계해석(Limit Analysis)의 운동학적 접근방법을 이용하여 정해의 극한 지지력이 계산되었다. 운동학적 해는 상한값이며 해의 정확성은 파괴메카니즘의 형상에 달려 있다. 이러한 방법은 설계도표를 만드는데 편리할 뿐만 아니라 물성치의 영향을 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 탄소성 이론에 근거하여 극한지지력을 계산하였다. 운동학적 방범으로 계산된 결과와 유한요소 해석, 한계평형론에 근거한 몇몇 알려진 식들(Yamaguchi, Meyerhof와 Okamura 등)에 의한 결과를 비교하였다. 아울러, 운동학적 방법에 의한 제안식과 유한요소해석 결과와 한계평형해석 결과의 유효성에 대하여 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 편심 하중을 받는 기초의 지지력을 극한해석 상계법을 이용하여 산정하였다. 편심 하중이 작용하는 기초의 지지력을 산정하는 기존의 해석방법으로는 극한평형법을 이용한 Meyerhof 방법과 Saran 방법 등이 있으나, 극한해석법을 이용하여 해석하는 경우는 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 극한해석 상계법을 이용하여 편심하중이 작용하는 기초의 지지력을 산정하였다. 극한해석 상계법으로 해석하는 경우, 적용하는 파괴메카니즘에 따라 그 결과가 달라지므로, 본 연구에서는 기존의 파괴메카니즘을 속도장 조건에 맞게 변형시킨 후, 극한해석 상계법을 적용하여 그 결과들을 상호 비교하였다. 그리고, 편심하중을 받는 기초 구조물의 지지력에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 연구하기 위하여 흙의 내부마찰각, 기초 바닥면의 마찰각, 편심량, 그리고 상재하중 등을 변화시켜 각 요소들이 기초의 지지력에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다.

The ultimate bearing capacity and failure mechanism of square footings resting on a sand layer over clay soil have been investigated numerically by performing a series of three-dimensional non-linear finite element analyses. The parameters investigated are the thickness of upper sand layer, strength of sand, undrained shear strength of lower clay and surcharge effect. The results obtained from finite element analyses were compared with those from previous design methods based on limit equilibrium approach. The results proved that the parameters investigated had considerable effect on the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mechanism occurring. It was also shown that the thickness of upper sand layer, the undrained shear strength of lower clay and the strength of sand are the most important parameters affecting the type of failure will occur. The value of the ultimate bearing capacity could be significantly different depending on the limit equilibrium method used.

Bearing capacity of shallow foundations is often determined for either dry or saturated soils. In some occasions, foundations may be subjected to external loading which is inclined and/or eccentric. In this study, the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on partially saturated coarse-grained cohesionless and fine-grained cohesive soils subjected to a wide range of combined vertical (V) - horizontal (H) - moment (M) loadings is rigorously evaluated using the well-established limit equilibrium method. The unified effective stress approach as well as the suction stress concept is effectively adopted so as to simulate the behaviour of the underlying unsaturated soil medium. In order to obtain the bearing capacity, four equilibrium equations are solved by adopting Coulomb failure mechanism and Bishop effective stress concept and also considering a linear variation of the induced matric suction beneath the foundation. The general failure loci of the shallow foundations resting on unsaturated soils at different hydraulic conditions are presented in V - H - M spaces. The results indicate that the matric suction has a marked influence on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. In addition, the effect of induced suction on the ultimate bearing capacity of obliquely-loaded foundations is more pronounced than that of the eccentrically-loaded footings.

본 연구에서는 탄소봉을 이장한 모형실험, 극한해석 상계법, 그리고 극한평형법을 이용한 Meyerhof 방법을 통하여 편심량이 줄기초에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 극한해석 상계법에 적용된 파괴메카니즘은 모형실험에서 구하여 사용하였다. 세가지 방법에 의한 결과들을 분석한 결과, 모형실험과 극한해석 상계법에 의한 결과는 편심량에 상관없이 잘 일치하지만, Meyerhof 방법은 지지력을 보수적으로 평가하고, 편심량의 증가에 따른 지지력의 감소효과도 과소평가한다. 아울러 기초너비, 근입깊이, 바닥면의 마찰 등을 변화시켜 각 요소들이 지지력에 미치는 효과를 연구하였다.

In this study, the mechanical behavior of very soft ground that is reinforced on the surface has been investigated with the aid of a series of numerical analyses. Key material properties of each dredged soft ground, reinforcement and backfill sand mat have been parametrically estimated in the numerical analysis. Along with the result of the study previously performed, a series of in-situ loading conditions and settlement exerted by surface reinforcing operation by construction vehicles has been numerically simulated. These result have been used to evaluate the limit bearing capacity for the unreinforced and reinforced soft ground. Also, the results of the numerical analysis obtained in this research were compared with Yamanouchi's empirical correlation for the limit bearing capacity. Engineering charts listed in this paper for estimating the limit bearing capacity provide field engineers with preliminary design tool for surface reinforcement of very soft ground.

When a foundation on the ground with tunnel is constructed, the ultimate bearing capacity of a footing is reduced by tunnel. In practice, structure may bate a considerable damage because of large settlement. This study shows that the settlement which is caused by variety of the ultimated bearing capacity leads fatal damages to the footing above tunnel. Therefore, it is necessary to study on the reduction both of the ultimate bearing capacity which leads a failure and of tolerable settlement which satisfies the safety of the building. For this reason, the variety of ultimated bearing capacity was analyzed using tub-dimensional elasto-plastic finite difference method in this paper. As a result, bearing capacity of the foundation above tunnel should be determined after establishing limit of allowable settlement and considering reduction-ratio of bearing capacity.

A pile is compressed with settlements when loading and bearing capacity is altered along relative displacement of pile/soil on settlement and compression. Settlements of pile displaying limit skin friction is different from displaying tip resistance. Therefore, it is an error in traditional method that bearing capacity of pile is estimated from the sum of limit skin fraction and tip resistance. Accordingly, development of design method considering behavior of load-settlement is needed. In this study, we would like to establish the base for development of design method considering bearing capacity altering along displacement on settlement and compression. For this, we established system and substance of design method. And in order to establish relationship of load-settlement of pile on the type of soil, we analyzed and arranged existing database and pile loading test. On design method, settlement is assumed gradually on each capacity level being assumed gradually. Bearing capacity developing on the pile is obtained on each settlement level. Until the obtained bearing capacity will be equal to assumed capacity, this process is continued with increasing settlement. Load-settlement curve for soil classification is sketched in the process computing settlement on assumed capacity. This design method will be materialized by computation program.

Present study computes the ultimate bearing capacity of an embedded strip footing situated on the rock slope subjected to seismic loading. Influences of embedment depth of strip footing, horizontal seismic acceleration coefficient, rock slope angle, Geological Strength Index, normalized uniaxial compressive strength of rock mass, disturbance factor, and Hoek-Brown material constant are studied in detail. To perform the analysis, the lower bound finite element limit analysis method in combination with the semidefinite programming is utilized. From the results of the present study, it can be found that the magnitude of the bearing capacity factor reduces quite substantially with an increment in the seismic loading. In addition, with the increment in slope angle, further reduction in the value of the bearing capacity factor is observed. On the other hand, with an increment in the embedment depth, an increment in the value of the bearing capacity factor is found. Stress contours are presented to describe the combined failure mechanism of the footing-rock slope system in the presence of static as well as seismic loadings for the different embedment depths.

The capacity of tubular truss chords subjected to concentrated reaction forces in the vicinity of the open end (i.e., the bearing region) is not directly treated by existing design specifications; although capacity equations are promulgated for related tubular joint configurations. The lack of direct treatment of bearing capacity in existing design specifications seems to represent an unsatisfactory situation given the fact that connections very often control the design of long-span tubular structures comprised of members with slender cross-sections. The case of the simple-span overhead highway sign truss is studied, in which the bearing reaction is applied near the chord end. The present research is aimed at assessing the validity of adapting existing specifications' capacity equations from related cases so as to be applicable in determining design capacity in tubular truss bearing regions. These modified capacity equations are subsequently used in comparisons with full-scale experimental results obtained from testing carried out at the University of Pittsburgh.
