The study deals with the physical modeling of a typical single storeyed building frame resting on pile foundation and embedded in cohesive soil mass using the finite element based software SAP-IV. Two groups of piles comprising two and three piles, with series and parallel arrangement thereof, are considered. The slab provided at top and bottom of the frame along with the pile cap is idealized as four noded and two dimensional thin shell elements. The beams and columns of the frame, and piles are modeled using two noded one dimensional beam-column element. The soil is modeled using closely spaced discrete linear springs. A parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of various parameters of the pile foundation, such as spacing in a group and number of piles in a group, on the response of superstructure. The response considered includes the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The soil-structure interaction effect is found to increase the displacement in the range of 38 -133% and to increase the absolute maximum positive and negative moments in the column in the range of 2-12% and 2-11%. The effect of the soil- structure interaction is observed to be significant for the type of foundation and soil considered in this study. The results obtained are compared further with those of Chore et al. (2010), wherein different idealizations were used for modeling the superstructure frame and sub-structure elements (foundation). While fair agreement is observed in the results in either study, the trend of the results obtained in both studies is also same.

연약지반 개량목적으로 쇄석다짐말뚝에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 연구들은 수치해석 및 실내모형실험을 토대로 도출해 낸 결과이며, 연성말뚝(기초의 강성이 작아 유연한 기초)의 벌징파괴에 대해 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구는 없는 실정이다. 이 연구는 SPT 시험의 N치로 추정된 지반물성치의 변화에 따른 쇄석다짐말뚝의 등단면 및 변단면의 하중-침하량 관계에 대한 민감도를 분석하였다. 정재하시험의 하중-침하량 결과에 기초하여 수치해석 시 지반에 대한 지반 물성치를 추정하였다. N치가 3이하인 매우 연약한 점토층의 탄성계수는 700~2000kPa, 푸아송비는 0.40~0.48의 값이 합리적인 것으로 판단되었다.

최근 건축물의 고층화에 따라 양중 계획의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 타워크레인은 중요한 양중 장비로서의 역할을 수행하고 있으나, 구조적 안전사고 발생 시 그 피해가 매우 크므로 철저한 안정성검토가 선행되어야 한다. 타워크레인은 구조적 안정성을 확보하기 위해 횡지지 보강과 독립기초 및 파일기초 설계 등 안정성확보에 대한 고려가 매우 중요하며, 그 중 현장의 특수한 상황으로 인해 지내력 확보가 곤란하거나 더 이상 기초 사이즈를 증가시킬 수 없을 때 파일기초를 사용한다. 파일기초를 사용할 경우 독립기초 사용 시 보다 더 많은 안정성 검토 항목을 고려 해야하므로 체계적이고 철저한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구는 파일기초 설계 시 파일기초의 기본적인 안정성 확보 뿐 만 아니라 최소의 비용 발생을 위한 최적설계 알고리즘 개발이 목적이며, 파일기초를 사용하는 고정식 트롤리타입의 타워크레인으로 연구 범위를 제한하여 진행한다. 타워크레인 파일 기초의 안정성 검토 항목과 절차, 최적설계에 관한 연구 결과물을 토대로 관련 업무 담당자의 업무 효율성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 파일 기초 설계에 투입되는 시간 및 비용의 절감효과를 기대 할 수 있다.

When a construction company builds a high structure, many piles should be driven into the ground by a hammer whose weight is 7,000 Kg in order to make the ground under the structure safe and strong. So, it is essential to determine whether a pile is penetrated into the ground enough to support the weight of the structure since ground characteristics at different locations are different each other. This paper proposes a visual measurement system for pile rebound and penetration movement including vibration using a high-speed line-scan camera and a specially designed mark to recognize two-dimensional motion parameters of the mark using only a line-scan camera. A mark stacking white and black right-angled triangles is used for the measurement, and movement information for vertical distance, horizontal distance and rotational angle is determined simultaneously

In this paper a semi-analytical approach is proposed to study the lateral behavior of a piled footing under horizontal loading. As accurate computation of stresses is usually needed at the interface separating the footing (pile) and the soil, this important location should be appropriately modeled as zero-thickness joint element. The piled footing is embedded in elastic soil with either homogeneous modulus or modulus proportional to depth (Gibson's soil). As the pile is the principal element in the piled footing system, a limited parametric study is carried out in order to investigate the influence of footing dimensions and the interface conditions on the lateral behavior of the pile. Hence, the pile behavior is examined through its main governing parameters, namely, the lateral displacement profiles, the bending moments, the shear forces and the soil reactions. The numerical results are presented for Poisson's ratio of 0.2 to represent a large variety of sands and Poisson's ratio of 0.5 to represent undrained clays.

This paper investigates nonlinear response of 51 laterally loaded rigid piles in sand. Measured response of each pile test was used to deduce input parameters of modulus of subgrade reaction and the gradient of the linear limiting force profile using elastic-plastic solutions. Normalised load - displacement and/or moment - rotation curves and in some cases bending moment and displacement distributions with depth are provided for all the pile tests, to show the effect of load eccentricity on the nonlinear pile response and pile capacity. The values of modulus of subgrade reaction and the gradient of the linear limiting force profile may be used in the design of laterally loaded rigid piles in sand.

This paper considers dynamic impedance functions and presents a detailed analysis of the soil plasticity influence on the pile-group foundation dynamic response. A three-dimensional finite element model is proposed, and a calculation method considering the time domain is detailed for the nonlinear dynamic impedance functions. The soil mass is modeled as continuum elastoplastic solid using the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion. The piles are modeled as continuum solids and the slab as a structural plate-type element. Quiet boundaries are implemented to avoid wave reflection on the boundaries. The model and method of analysis are validated by comparison with those published on literature. Numerical results are presented in terms of horizontal and vertical nonlinear dynamic impedances as a function of the shear soil parameters (cohesion and internal friction angle), pile spacing ratio and frequencies of the dynamic signal.

강관합성말뚝은 외부 강관의 합성 구속효과에 의해 말뚝강도가 커지고, 연성파괴 거동이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 해상 지반에 근입된 말뚝에 대하여 말뚝재료의 항복거동 및 지반의 탄소성 거동을 함께 고려할 수 있는 3차원 수치해석을 수행하여 하중-변위 거동 및 강관합성말뚝의 보강효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 강관, 콘크리트, 강관합성말뚝에 대하여 각각 말뚝직경과 재하방향에 따른 변수연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 수직방향 극한지지력의 경우 강관합성말뚝은 강관말뚝과 비교하여 평균 1.90배, 콘크리트 말뚝에 대하여는 평균적으로 동일한 지지력을 보여주었다. 허용변위 기준에서의 수평방향 지지력의 경우 강관합성말뚝은 강관말뚝에 비하여 평균 1.46배, 콘크리트 말뚝에 비하여 평균 1.25배 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 허용변위 기준에서의 강관합성말뚝의 말뚝두부 변위는 평균적으로 강관말뚝의 약 78%, 콘크리트 말뚝의 약 53%로 나타나 강관합성말뚝의 변위억제 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 해석조건에서 강관합성말뚝의 수직방향 극한지지력 증가효과는 작았지만 수평방향 재하시의 강관합성말뚝의 변위억제 효과에 의해 현장타설말뚝의 경제적인 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes the load distribution and settlement of rockbolted-drilled shafts subjected to axial and lateral loads with the view to shortening the embedded depth of the pile shaft. The emphasis was on quantifying the reinforcing effects of rockbolts placed from the shafts to surrounding weathered rocks based on small-scale model tests peformed on instrumented piles. The major influencing parameters on reinforcing drilled shaft behavior are the number, the positions on the shaft, the grade, and the inclination angle at which the rockbolts are placed. The model tests was 1/40 scaled simulations of the behavior of the drilled shafts with varying combinations of the major influencing parameters. The incremental effects of reinforcement based on the various parameters have been weighed against load transfer characteristics before and after rockbolt installations.

The study deals with physical modeling of space frame-pile foundation and soil system using finite element models. The superstructure frame is analyzed using complete three-dimensional finite element method where the component of the frame such as slab, beam and columns are descretized using 20 node isoparametric continuum elements. Initially, the frame is analyzed assuming the fixed column bases. Later the pile foundation is worked out separately wherein the simplified models of finite elements such as beam and plate element are used for pile and pile cap, respectively. The non-linear behaviour of soil mass is incorporated by idealizing the soil as non-linear springs using p-y curve along the lines similar to that by Georgiadis et al. (1992). For analysis of pile foundation, the non-linearity of soil via p-y curve approach is incorporated using the incremental approach. The interaction analysis is conducted for the parametric study. The non-linearity of soil is further incorporated using iterative approach, i.e., secant modulus approach, in the interaction analysis. The effect the various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and configuration of the pile group is evaluated on the response of superstructure owing to non-linearity of the soil. The response included the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The non-linearity of soil increases the top displacement in the range of 7.8%-16.7%. However, its effect is found very marginal on the absolute maximum moment in columns. The hogging moment decreases by 0.005% while sagging moment increases by 0.02%.
