말뚝의 하중전이거동 및 변형특성 해석을 위해 하중전이함수법이 널리 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝-지반의 상효작용 즉, 지반의 연속성을 고려한 하중전이해석에 고찰하였으며, Mindlin 해를 이용하여 이를 고려함으로써 말뚝의 실제 거동에 보다 부합되도록 수정된 하중전이 해석방법을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 말뚝-지반 상호작용의 영향인자인 말뚝직경-지반계수의 비$(D/E_s)$과 주면마찰력-재하하중의 비$(R_s/Q)$를 고려할 수 있었다. 제안된 하중전이함수법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 현장재하시험 사례와의 비교분석 결과, 제안된 해석방법은 암반 근입 현장타설말뚝의 하중-침하 거동 및 하중전이특성을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 말뚝-지반의 상호작용을 고려한 Pile-Bent 구조물의 수평하중 해석기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 수평하중이 작용하는 Pile-Bent 구조물의 특성을 고려한 재료의 항복거동과 기하학적 비선형 거동인 $P-{\Delta}$ 효과를 해석기법에 도입하였다. 개발한 해석기법상의 현장타설 말뚝은 보-기둥 모델을 적용하였으며 지반은 비선형 하중전이 함수를 이용하였다. 본 연구결과, 강하부 일체형인 Pile-Bent 구조물의 경우 해석방법(재료의 탄성 또는 비탄성)에 따라 수평변위의 차가 크게 발생하였다. 재료의 항복거동만 고려할 경우 최대 휨 모멘트($M_{max}$)는 지표 아래의 약 3.5D(D는 말뚝직경) 깊이에서 발생되었으며, 재료의 항복거동과 $P-{\Delta}$ 효과를 모두 고려할 경우 $M_{max}$의 지점이 다소 상승하여 지표 아래 약 1.5D 깊이에서 발생하였다. 세장비에 따른 재료의 항복 및 $P-{\Delta}$ 효과는 단주일 경우에는 재료의 항복거동이, 장주일 경우에는 $P-{\Delta}$ 효과에 의한 기하학적 비선형 거동이 수평변위의 주요 영향인자임을 확인하였다.

In this study, the load distribution and deformation of rock-socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial load are investigated based on small scale model tests. In order to analyze the effects of major influencing factors of end bearing capacity, Hoek-cell triaxial tests were performed. From the test results, it was found that the initial slope of end bearing load transfer (q-w) curve was highly dependent on rock mass modulus and pile diameter, while the ultimate unit toe resistance ($q_{max}$) was influenced by rock mass modulus and the spacing of discontinuities. End bearing load transfer function of drilled shafts socketed in rock was proposed based on the Hoek-cell triaxial test results and the field loading tests which were performed on granite and gneiss in South Korea. Through the comparison with pile load tests, it is found that the load-transfer curve by the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by field loading tests, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of load transfer of drilled shaft.

The pile group foundation is widely used for gravity pier of high-speed railway bridges in China. If a moderate or strong earthquake occurs, the pile-surrounding soil will exhibit obvious nonlinearity and significant pile group effect. In this study, an improved pushover analysis model for the pile group foundation with consideration of pile group effect is presented and validated by the quasi-static test. The improved model uses simplified springs to simulate the soil lateral resistance, side friction and tip resistance. PM (axial load-bending moment) plastic hinge model is introduced to simulate the impact of the axial force changing of pile group on their elastic-plastic characteristics. The pile group effect is considered in stress-stain relations of the lateral soil resistance with a reduction factor. The influence factors on nonlinear characteristics and plastic hinge distribution of the pile group foundation are discussed, including the pier height, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and stirrup ratio of the pile, and soil mechanical parameters. Furthermore, the displacement ductility factor, resistance increase factor and yielding stiffness ratio are provided to evaluate the seismic performance of soil-pile system. A case study for the pile group foundation of a railway simply supported beam bridge with a 32 m-span is conducted by numerical analysis. It is shown that the ultimate lateral force of pile group is not determined by the yielding force of the single one in these piles. Therefore, the pile group effect is essential for the seismic performance evaluation of the railway bridge with pile group foundation.

The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is an effective way to control the landslides with high thrust. In this study, The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles with different load segment length (cantilever length) and different pile row spacing were studied by a series of physical tests, by which the influences of load segment length of rear-row piles as well as pile row spacing on the mechanical response of double-row long-short composite anti-sliding pile system were investigated. Based on the earth pressures in front of and behind the piles obtained during tests, then the maximum bending moments of the fore-row and the rear-row piles were calculated. By ensuring a equal maximum moments in the fore-row and the rear-row piles, the optimum lengths of the rear-row piles of double-row long-short composite system under different piles spacing were proposed. To investigate the validity of the reduced scale tests, the full-scale numerical models of the landside were finally conducted. By the comparisons between the numerical and the physical test results, it could be seen that the reduced scale tests conducted in this study are reliable. The results showed that the double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is effective in the distribution of the landslide thrust to the rear-row and the fore-row piles.

Ground temperature restoration characteristics are the crucial factors to evaluate whether a ground source heat pump system can keep long time steady operation. They are mainly dependent on soil thermal properties, layout of pile group, operation/shutoff ratio, cooling/heating load, thermal imbalance ratio and so on. On the one hand, several types of vertical pile foundation heat exchangers are intercompared to determine the most efficient one by performance test and numerical method. On the other hand, according to the layout of pile group of a practical engineering and running conditions of a GSHP system in Shanghai, the temperature distribution during a period of five years is numerically studied. The numerical results are analyzed and are used to provide some guidance for the design of large-scale GSHP system.

Pile foundation is a typical form of bridge foundation and viaduct, and large-diameter rock-socketed piles are typically adopted in bridges with long span or high piers. To investigate the effect of a mountain slope with a deep overburden layer on the bearing characteristics of large-diameter rock-socketed piles, four centrifuge model tests of single piles on different slopes (0°, 15°, 30° and 45°) were carried out to investigate the effect of slope on the bearing characteristics of piles. In addition, three pile group tests with different slope (0°, 30° and 45°) were also performed to explore the effect of slope on the bearing characteristics of the pile group. The results of the single pile tests indicate that the slope with a deep overburden layer not only accelerates the drag force of the pile with the increasing slope, but also causes the bending moment to move down owing to the increase in the unsymmetrical pressure around the pile. As the slope increases from 0° to 45°, the drag force of the pile is significantly enlarged and the axial force of the pile reduces to beyond 12%. The position of the maximum bending moment of the pile shifts downward, while the magnitude becomes larger. Meanwhile, the slope results in the reduction in the shaft resistance of the pile, and the maximum value at the front side of the pile is 3.98% less than at its rear side at a 45° slope. The load-sharing ratio of the tip resistance of the pile is increased from 5.49% to 12.02%. The results of the pile group tests show that the increase in the slope enhances the uneven distribution of the pile top reaction and yields a larger bending moment and different settlements on the pile cap, which might cause safety issues to bridge structures.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 센서의 일종인 격자소자(Fiber Bragg Grating sensor)를 모형말뚝에 설치하고 말뚝의 하중전이 측정을 시도하였다. 말뚝의 축방향 하중 및 주면 마찰력의 분포를 측정/분석시 사용되고 있는 스트레인 게이지에 의한 방법에 비해 광섬유 격자소자는 한 라인에 여러 개의 센서를 설치함으로써 여러 지점을 동시에 측정할 수 있다는 것과 센서의 설치가 용이하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 광섬유 격자소자와 스트레인 게이지를 모형말뚝에 함께 매설하고 재하시험중 하중전이를 측정한 결과, 두 측정치가 상당히 유사한 경향을 보였으며, 센서의 생존정도와 설치의 용이성에 있어서는 광섬유센서가 우수한 결과를 보였다. 따라서, 광섬유 격자소자의 말뚝 하중전이 측정에 대한 적용 가능성이 충분한 것으로 결론지었다.

Monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines embedded in soft clay are subjected to the long-term cyclic lateral loads induced by winds, currents, and waves, the vibration of monopile leads to the accumulation of pore pressure and cyclic strains in the soil in its vicinity, which poses a threat to the safety operation of monopile. The researchers mainly focused on the hysteretic stress-strain relationship of soft clay and kinds of stiffness degradation models have been adopted, which may consume considerable computing resources and is not applicable for the long-term bearing performance analysis of monopile. In this study, a modified cyclic stiffness degradation model considering the effect of plastic strain and pore pressure change has been proposed and validated by comparing with the triaxial test results. Subsequently, the effects of cyclic load ratio, pile aspect ratio, number of load cycles, and length to embedded depth ratio on the accumulated rotation angle and pore pressure are presented. The results indicate the number of load cycles can significantly affect the accumulated rotation angle of monopile, whereas the accumulated pore pressure distribution along the pile merely changes with pile diameter, embedded length, and the number of load cycles, the stiffness of monopile can be significantly weakened by decreasing the embedded depth ratio L/H of monopile. The stiffness degradation of soil is more significant in the passive earth pressure zone, in which soil liquefaction is likely to occur. Furthermore, the suitability of the "accumulated rotation angle" and "accumulated pore pressure" design criteria for determining the required cyclic load ratio are discussed.

본 연구에서는 말뚝재료의 항복거동 및 기하학적 비선형 거동인 P-${\Delta}$ 효과를 고려한 변단면 단일 현장타설말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 실제 시공된 현장타설말뚝에 대한 말뚝재료의 균열 휨모멘트 및 균열 수평하중을 산정하였고, 국내 외에서 적용하고 있는 대표적인 수평변위 기준과의 비교분석을 수행하였다. 또한 구조적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 설계자료를 토대로 재료 및 지반조건을 반영한 현장타설말뚝의 거동을 예측하여 변단면 설계의 타당성을 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 재료의 항복거동과 P-${\Delta}$ 효과 고려시, 이를 고려하지 않는 경우와 비교하여 최대 모멘트가 지표면 부근에서 발생하여 소성힌지 위치에 영향을 주는 것을 나타났으며, 말뚝의 재료파괴는 주로 기둥부의 단면적이 작은 말뚝-기둥 접합부에서 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 주로 말뚝이 수평변위 기준에 도달하기 전에 재료의 파괴가 먼저 발생하기 때문에 말뚝의 항복효과를 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과, 변단면 단일 현장타설말뚝의 설계 시 불확실성을 고려하여 지지력을 과소평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 말뚝재료의 항복거동 및 기하학적 비선형 거동인 P-${\Delta}$ 효과를 고려한 해석기법을 통하여 거동특성을 정확히 예측한다면 경제적인 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
