The study deals with the physical modeling of a typical building frame resting on pile foundation and embedded in cohesive soil mass using complete three-dimensional finite element analysis. Two different pile groups comprising four piles ($2{\times}2$) and nine piles ($3{\times}3$) are considered. Further, three different pile diameters along with the various pile spacings are considered. The elements of the superstructure frame and those of the pile foundation are descretized using twenty-node isoparametric continuum elements. The interface between the pile and pile and soil is idealized using sixteen-node isoparametric surface elements. The current study is an improved version of finite element modeling for the soil elements compared to the one reported in the literature (Chore and Ingle 2008). The soil elements are discretized using eight-, nine- and twelve-node continuum elements. Both the elements of superstructure and substructure (i.e., foundation) including soil are assumed to remain in the elastic state at all the time. The interaction analysis is carried out using sub-structure approach in the parametric study. The total stress analysis is carried out considering the immediate behaviour of the soil. The effect of various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and number piles in a group, along with pile diameter, is evaluated on the response of superstructure. The response includes the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The soil-structure interaction effect is found to increase displacement in the range of 58 -152% and increase the absolute maximum positive and negative moments in the column in the range of 14-15% and 26-28%, respectively. The effect of the soil- structure interaction is observed to be significant for the configuration of the pile groups and the soil considered in the present study.

균질한 지반에서 말뚝의 지지력은 선단지지력과 주변마찰력의 합이며, 사질지반에서는 주변마찰력이 선단지지력보다 우세한 것으로 알려져 있다. 다수의 말뚝을 근접하여 설치하는 무리말뚝에서는 말뚝 하나하나의 지지력이 말뚝 상호간 간섭에 의해 달라질 수 있으므로, 말뚝의 근접도에 따라서 선단지지거동과 주변마찰거동의 변화를 정확하게 파악하여 말뚝을 설계해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주면마찰거동의 영향을 배제한 상태에서 무리말뚝의 선단지지거동을 측정하기 위해 크기가 일정한 원형 토조에서 여러 가지 직경과 깊이로 말뚝을 설치하고 상대밀도가 균일한 모래지반을 조성한 후 선단지지력을 측정하여 무리말뚝의 근접도에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. 연구결과 말뚝의 선단저항력은 비교적 뚜렷하게 극한값을 나타냈다. 말뚝의 극한선단지지력은 주면마찰력과 말뚝의 직경에 의한 영향을 적게 받으며, 말뚝관입길이가 깊어질수록 일정한 값에 수렴하였다. 또한, 무리말뚝에서 인접한 말뚝이 말뚝 직경만큼 서로 이격되어 있으면 인접말뚝의 영향이 거의 없었다.

Bearing capacity of open-ended piles depends largely on inner frictional resistance, which is influenced by the degree of soil plugging. While a fully-plugged open-ended pile produces a bearing capacity similar to a closed-ended pile, fully coring (or unplugged) pile produces a much smaller bearing capacity. In general, open-ended piles are driven under partially-plugged mode. The formation of soil plug may depend on many factors, including wall thickness at the pile tip (or inner pile diameter), sleeve height of the thickened wall at the pile tip and relative density. In this paper, we studied the effects of wall thickness at the pile base and sleeve height of the thickened wall at the pile tip on bearing capacity using laboratory model tests. The tests were conducted on a medium dense sandy ground. The model piles with different tip thicknesses and sleeve heights of thickened wall at the pile tip were tested. The results were also discussed using the incremental filling ratio and plug length ratio, which are generally used to describe the degree of soil plugging. The results showed that the bearing capacity increases with tip thickness. The bearing capacity of piles of smaller sleeve length (e.g., ${\leq}1D$; D is pile outer diameter) was found to be dependent on the sleeve length, while it is independent on the sleeve length of greater than a 1D length. We also found that the soil plug height is dependent on wall thickness at the pile base. The results on the incremental filling ratio revealed that the thinner walled piles produce higher degree of soil plugging at greater penetration depths. The results also revealed that the soil plug height is dependent on sleeve length of up to 2D length and independent beyond a 2D length. The piles of a smaller sleeve length (e.g., ${\leq}1D$) produce higher degree of soil plugging at shallow penetration depths while the piles of a larger sleeve length (e.g., ${\geq}2D$) produce higher degree of soil plugging at greater penetration depths.

최근 초고층 빌딩과 같은 대형 구조물의 증가로 인하여 기초의 허용 지지력 확보를 위한 대구경 말뚝의 수요가 급속히 증가하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기성 대구경 PHC말뚝의 전단성능을 향상시키기 위하여 속채움 콘크리트와 전단철근을 사용하여 대구경 합성 PHC말뚝을 제작하였다. 제작된 시험체는 KS규격의 전단강도 시험방법에 따라 수행하였고 변위제어 방법으로 진행하였다. 전단시험을 통하여 F 시험체는 휨균열과 경사균열이 발생한 이후 급작스런 수평균열이 발생하였으나, FT 시험체는 수평균열의 발생 없이 말뚝의 전 지간에 걸쳐 휨균열과 전단 경사균열이 일정 패턴으로 발생하였다. 또한, 대구경 합성 PHC말뚝의 최대하중은 PHC말뚝과 비교할 경우, F 시험체의 경우 2.9배, FT 시험체의 경우 3.3배 이상으로 크게 향상된 것을 확인하였다. FT 시험체의 높은 전단 저항 능력은 전단철근의 배근으로 인하여 대구경 합성 PHC 말뚝이 우수한 합성거동을 하였고, 발생한 전단균열의 성장을 효과적으로 제어하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

This thesis investigated the behavior of super structure by varying the factors such as the change of pile rigidity, the characteristics of soil and the constraint condition of support. The results of this study are as follows; 1. The pile rigidity in the Fig 3.3 computed by the rotating deformed plane method becomes the elastic range at approximately about 5.1 m (D : 1.0 m) below the ground level. This result is consistent with the previous study that the pile deformation occurs approximately 3 to 6 times pile diameter from the pile head. 2. The values of forces and deformations for the structure-pile system in Y-direction appeared larger than that in X-direction, since the pile rigidity and constraint condition of support were changed as shown Fig.3.5 to 3.8. 3. The current practice for the analysis of structure-pile system has not considered the variation of pile rigidity and the constraint condition of support. So, the analysis of structure-pile system with large difference in super-structure rigidity must includes these factors in both X and Y directions.

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.

Using the case of design to the Large diameter Bored Pile, We showed the various method to estimate the Lateral coefficient of subgrade reaction and analyzed the lateral displacement behavior according to the characteristics of sub layer distribution. According to the study, Mutual relation to the N value and the soil modulus of deformation showed 400N to 800N to the fine grained soil and weathered soil. It showed simular tendancy with the proposed expression of Schmertmann. But Weathered rock was over estimated as 4,200N. $k_h$ to the sedimentory soil and weathered rock each showed these orded of Schmertmann-PMT-2,800N and Schmertmann-2,800N-PMT. As the factor($\alpha$) 4 was applied to the estimation in weathered rock, $k_h$ to the PMT was calculate as a big value. If the pile is long and the pile is surpported to the soil, Lateral displacement was in inverse proportion ratio to the value of $k_h$. But the case of shallow soil layer(early bedrock) and the short pile, Lateral displacement was affected by the behavior of socheted pile to the bedrock not by the upper soil layer.

In this study, static end loading tests with load transfer measurement were accomplished for large diameter drilled shaft constructed in fault zone. Yield pile capacity (or ultimate pile capacity) from load-settlement curve was determined and axial load transfer behavior was measurd. The end bearing capacity was increased 2 times due to grouting the toe ground under pile base.

In this study, the pressuremeter test (PMT) and the standard penetration test (SPT) were performed on the lateral pile loading tests site to evaluate the coefficient of subgrade reaction, which is used for load-deformation behavior analysis of laterally loaded piles by elastic subgrade reaction method. As a result, widely used empirical formulas of the coefficient of subgrade reaction by N values of SPT is evaluated conservatively lateral behavior of piles. While the method of directly used PMT results and evaluation method of the coefficient of subgrade reaction considering deformation moduli of soil and a pile diameter that is able to estimate very similar to actual load-deformation behavior of laterally loaded piles in deformation range of 0.5%-1.0% of a pile diameter.
