Basic problem of pile foundation is three dimensional in nature. Three dimensional finite element formulation is employed for the analysis of pile groups. Pile, pile-cap and soil are modeled using 20 node element, whereas interface between pile or pile cap and soil is modeled using 16 node surface element. A parametric study is carried out to consider the effect of pile spacing, number of piles, arrangement of pile and soil modulus on the response of pile group. Results indicate that the response of pile group is dependent on these parameters.

The problem of laterally loaded piles is particularly a complex soil-structure interaction problem. The flexural stresses developed due to the combined action of axial load and bending moment must be evaluated in a realistic and rational manner for safe and economical design of pile foundation. The paper reports the finite element analysis of pile groups. For this purpose simplified models along the lines similar to that suggested by Desai et al. (1981) are used for idealizing various elements of the foundation system. The pile is idealized one dimensional beam element, pile cap as two dimensional plate element and the soil as independent closely spaced linearly elastic springs. The analysis takes into consideration the effect of interaction between pile cap and soil underlying it. The pile group is considered to have been embedded in cohesive soil. The parametric study is carried out to examine the effect of pile spacing, pile diameter, number of piles and arrangement of pile on the responses of pile group. The responses considered include the displacement at top of pile group and bending moment in piles. The results obtained using the simplified approach of the F.E. analysis are further compared with the results of the complete 3-D F.E. analysis published earlier and fair agreement is observed in the either result.

일반적으로 기초는 여러 개의 단일말뚝이 상부 구조체에 의해 연결된 상태로 군말뚝을 의미한다. 하지만, 군말뚝에 상부 하중 재하 시 지반에 작용하는 응력 범위는 단일말뚝에 비해 더 넓은 폭과 깊이로 확장되고, 중복되기 때문에 전체적인 지지력은 감소할 수 있다. 이러한 지지력 감소비를 군말뚝 효율이라 하나 일반적인 말뚝과 지반의 접촉 조건에 따른 영향을 분석한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지반 구성 및 군말뚝의 배치, 간격, 지반과 말뚝간의 접촉 특성을 해석 변수로 설정하고, 군말뚝 효율 및 군말뚝을 구성하는 개별말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 지반 종류에 따라 마찰계수 증가 시 군말뚝 효율은 수렴 또는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 이를 통해 최적 군말뚝 효율을 분석하였다. 또한, 개별말뚝 분석을 통한 하중 감소비 파악 결과, 군말뚝 내부에 위치한 말뚝의 경우 하중을 상대적으로 적게 받았으며, 이는 내부 지반에 대한 영향인 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents an optimal design method for determining pile lengths of piled raft foundations. The foundation settlement is evaluated by taking into account the raft-pile-soil interaction. The analysis of settlement is simplified by using Steinbrenner's equation. Then the total pile length is minimized under the settlement constraint. An extended sequential linear programming technique combined with an adaptive step-length algorithm of pile lengths is used to solve the optimal design problem. The accuracy of the simplified settlement analysis method and the validity of the obtained optimal solution are investigated through the comparison with the actual measurement result in existing piled raft foundations.

본 논문에서는 열응력에 따른 PHC 에너지파일의 축하중과 침하량의 변화를 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 이를 위해 $3{\times}3$, $5{\times}5$ 배열 군말뚝 형태의 에너지파일을 말뚝 간격과 배치, 지반조건, 말뚝의 선단지지조건 및 말뚝 캡의 강성도 등의 조건으로 구분하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과 말뚝 중심 간격이 클수록 온도변화에 따른 말뚝의 축하중 차이가 크게 나타났고, 사질토지반이 점성토지반 보다 온도변화에 의한 침하량의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 또한, 에너지파일이 모서리부에 위치할 때 말뚝의 축하중 차이가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 말뚝의 선단이 암반에 지지된 경우 온도변화에 의한 축하중 변화가 더 크게 발생하여 침하량이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 말뚝 캡의 강성도에 대한 영향은 말뚝 캡의 강성이 커질수록 온도변화에 의한 침하량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 합천사에 매설되어 측방변형을 받는 무리말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 무리말뚝의 위치, 말뚝의 간격과 말뚝배열이 미치는 무리말뚝의 영향을 알고자 하였다. 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 무리말뚝에서는 모멘트 형상은 단독말뚝과 유사하나 최대 휨모멘트의 발생깊이가 깊어지고, 그 크기는 감소하였다. 말뚝의 중심간격이 증가할수록 최대휨모멘트비$(R_M)$와 수평력분담비$(R_F)$는 증가하였다. 지반변형에 따른 $R_M$은 열방향에서는 후열, 전열, 중간열의 순으로 크게 나타났고 줄방향에서는 내측보다 외측이보다 크게 나타났다.

In this study, we concerned the steel cap and head part arrangement of PHC pile structure to complement existing construction process which have the defects such as highly hazardous circumstance for safety concerns and retard a term of works. The steel cap developed for supplement the stiffness between extend foundation and contact section of PHC pile that is based on structural theory. The experiments have been performed to evaluate the characteristics of behavior between head part of PHC pile using steel cap and extend foundation.

The effect of soil-structure interaction on a simple single storeyed and two bay space frame resting on a pile group embedded in the cohesive soil (clay) with flexible cap is examined in this paper. For this purpose, a more rational approach is resorted to using the three dimensional finite element analysis with realistic assumptions. The members of the superstructure and substructure are descretized using 20 node isoparametric continuum elements while the interface between the soil and pile is modeled using 16 node isoparametric interface elements. Owing to viability in terms of computational resources and memory requirement, the approach of uncoupled analysis is generally preferred to coupled analysis of the system. However, an interactive analysis of the system is presented in this paper where the building frame and pile foundation are considered as a single compatible unit. This study is focused on the interaction between the pile cap and underlying soil. In the parametric study conducted using the coupled analysis, the effect of pile spacing in a pile group and configuration of the pile group is evaluated on the response of superstructure. The responses of the superstructure considered include the displacement at top of the frame and moments in the superstructure columns. The effect of soil-structure interaction is found to be quite significant for the type of foundation used in the study. The percentage variation in the values of displacement obtained using the coupled and uncoupled analysis is found in the range of 4-17 and that for the moment in the range of 3-10. A reasonable agreement is observed in the results obtained using either approach.

Wave interaction in marine structures is an important issue where requires to be considered in view of number of bases, piles and arrangement method. In this research, effect of waves and their forces on piles with different arrangements was investigated using numerical modeling. Simulations were performed in presence of bracing elements between piles against the force of waves and also were compared with simple arrangement without bracing elements in different arrangements. Results showed that in models that were fitted with bracing elements, the displacement rate reduced about 96%, and tension tolerances increased more than 53% and abutment responses also decreased about 70%.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the bearing capacity, settlement and pile action of pile groups in cohesionless soil, based on a wide range of model test in laboratory. Model test were conducted with changing the variables affecting the behavior of group pile; Number of pile, Diameters, Spacings between piles and Arrangement of piles. Effects of these variables on group efficiency were investigated by analyzing test results. Test results were also compared with the existing analytical method and data obtained in-situ tests.
