말뚝의 거동특성은 지반조건 뿐만 아니라 말뚝의 형상에 의해서도 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 비배토 테이퍼말뚝과 원통형말뚝의 연직거동과 지지력 특성을 조사하기 위해서 선단지지력과 주면마찰력을 분리해서 측정할 수 있는 모형말뚝과 가압토조를 이용해서 총 12회의 모형말뚝시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 원통형말뚝의 주면 하중은 말뚝 직경의 4%에 해당하는 침하량에서 극한치에 도달하였다. 반면 테이퍼말뚝의 주면하중은 말뚝이 침하함에 따라 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 원통형말뚝의 주면하중보다 상당히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 조밀한 지반에서는 테이퍼말뚝의 전체지지력이 원통형말뚝보다 작은 반면 상대밀도가 보통인 지반에서는 테이퍼말뚝의 전체 지지력이 원통형말뚝보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 테이퍼말뚝의 단위 극한선단지지력은 지반의 토압계수가 0.4보다 클 때 원통형말뚝보다 컸으며, 테이퍼말뚝의 단위 극한주면마찰력은 지반의 토압계수와는 무관하게 원통형말뚝보다 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the reinforced methods of joints were proposed to improve the structural performance of the enhanced spun reinforced concrete piles with joints. To verify the proposed methods, flexure performance was validated by finite element analysis considering both material and contact nonlinearity. Based on the previous study and those results of the analysis, it is concluded that the structural performance of the current joints system for the enhanced spun RC piles can be enhanced by applying the reinforced joints composed of extended circular band plates and studs. This proposed method showed the nearest structural behavior to the enhanced spun RC piles without joints. This numerical study will be used to further experimental study on the enhanced spun RC piles with reinforced joints.

Numerical methods are developed to obtain the buckling loads and to analyze the postbuckling behavior of the tapered steel piles. The nondimensional differential equations governing the elastica of the buckled piles are derived by the third order theory and solved numerically. The Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the differential equations, and the bisection method is used to obtain the buckling loads and the reaction moments of the clamped ends. Both the linear and stepped taper of the steel piles are considered as the variable crosssection in the differential equations. As the numerical results, the equilibrium paths, the buckling loads vs. section ratio curves and the typical elastica and the bending moment diagrams of the buckled piles are presented in figures. Experimental studies that complement the theoretical results are presented. It is expected that the numerical methods developed in this study for calculating the buckling loads and analyzing the postbuckling behavior of the steel piles are used in the structural and foundation engineering.

This paper presents a new numerical solution of the ultimate lateral capacity of rectangular piles in clay. The two-dimensional plane strain finite element was employed to determine the limit load of this problem. A rectangular pile is subjected to purely lateral loading along either its major or minor axes. Complete parametric studies were performed for two dimensionless variables including: (1) the aspect ratios of rectangular piles were studied in the full range from plates to square piles loaded along either their major or minor axes; and (2) the adhesion factors between the soil-pile interface were studied in the complete range from smooth surfaces to rough surfaces. It was found that the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles showed a highly non-linear function with the aspect ratio of piles and a slightly non-linear function with the adhesion factor at the soil-pile interface. In addition, the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles loaded along the major axis was significantly higher than that loaded along the minor axis until it converged to the same value at square piles. The solutions of finite element analyses were verified with the finite element limit analysis for selected cases. The empirical equation of the dimensionless load factor of rectangular piles was also proposed based on the data of finite element analysis. Because of the plane strain condition of the top view section, results can be only applied to the full-flow failure mechanism around the pile for the prediction of limiting pressure at the deeper length of a very long pile with full tension interface that does not allow any separation at soil-pile interfaces.

국토의 70%가 산지인 우리나라에서는 6월에서 9월 사이의 우기에 많은 산사태가 발생하고 있 다. 이러한 산사태를 방지하기 위한 대책공법의 하나로 억지말뚝공이 사용될 수 있다. 산사태와 같 은 측방이동지반속에 억지말뚝이 일렬로 설치되어 있으면 말뚝사이의 지반은 아칭현상에 의하여 지지될 수 있다. 억지말뚝의 합리적설계 법을 확립하기 위하여 측방이동지반속의 말뚝에 작용하는측방토압산정 식을 사용하여 억지말뚝이 설치된 사면의 안정 해석법이 제안된다. 특히 이 이론식은 측압계수를 사용하므로서 간편한 형태의 식으로 정 리된다. 또한 활동면 상부 말뚝부분에 지반반력이 말뚝변위 에 비 례하여 작용한다고 가정하므로 이전 연구에서 이미 제안된 말뚝안정 해석을 위한 미분방정식 이 수정 제안된다. 마지막으로 산사태 발생이 예정되었던 우리나라 사면의 한예를 대상으로 산사태억지말뚝의 사면안정 효과가 조사된다.

The behavior of composite piles composed of steel pipe pile in the upper part and concrete pile in the lower part by a mechanical splicing joint was examined by field lateral load tests and bending tests. A total of 7 piles including two instrumented piles for bending test were installed. The soil profile consists of soft clay with weak silt with shallow groundwater level. Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the basic soil characteristics and the strength parameters. This paper presents the composite pile behavior with various portions of the upper steel pile: 0, 20, 30, and 45% of the pile embedded pile length. Three-point bending tests were performed to investigate the stress-strain relation at the mechanical joint. Based on these test results, the behavior of composite piles with various upper steel pile length are evaluated and the stability of mechanical joints are examined. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, it was found that lateral load carrying capacity of the composite piles increased and deflections of the composite piles decreased with increasing the upper steel piles. The mechanical joint was proved to retain its structural stability against the tested load conditions. Economical benefits of composite pile of this kind can be gained by setting adequately the length of the upper steel pipe piles.

Composite foundation treated with compaction piles can eliminate collapsibility and improve the bearing capacity of foundation in loess area. However, the large number of piles in the composite foundation leads to difficulties in the analysis of such type of engineering works. This paper proposes two simplified methods to quantify the stability of composite foundation treated with a large number of compaction piles. The first method is based on the principle of making the area replacement ratios of the simplified model as the same time as the practical engineering situation. Then, discrete piles arranged in a triangular shape can be simplified in the model where the annular piles and compacted soil are arranged alternately. The second method implements equivalent continuous treatment in the pile-soil area and makes the whole treated region equivalent to a type of composite material. Both methods have been verified using treated foundation of an oil storage tank. The results have shown that the differences in the settlement values obtained from the water filled test in the field and those calculated by the two simplified methods are negligible. Using stability analysis, the difference ratios of the static and dynamic safety factors of the composite foundation treated with compaction piles calculated by these two simplified methods are found to be 3.56% and 5.32%, respectively. At the same time, both static and dynamic safety factors are larger than the general safety factor, which should be greater than or equal to 2.0 according to the provisions in civil engineering. This indicates that after being treated with compaction piles, the bearing capacity of the composite foundation is effectively improved and the foundation has enough safety reserve.

Background: Abandoned coal piles after the closure of mines have a potential negative influence on the environment, such as soil acidification and heavy metal contamination. Therefore, revegetation by efficient species is required. For this, we wanted to identify the role of Silene acaulis in the succession of coal piles as a pioneer and a nurse plant. S. acaulis is a well-studied cushion plant living in the Arctic and alpine environments in the northern hemisphere. It has a highly compact cushion-like form and hosts more plant species under its canopy by ameliorating stressful microhabitats. In this research, we surveyed vegetation cover on open plots and co-occurring species within S. acaulis cushions in coal piles with different slope aspects and a control site where no coal was found. The plant cover and the similarity of communities among sites were compared. Also, the interaction effects of S. acaulis were assessed by rarefaction curves. Results: S. acaulis was a dominant species with the highest cover (6.7%) on the coal piles and occurred with other well-known pioneer species. Plant communities on the coal piles were significantly different from the control site. We found that the pioneer species S. acaulis showed facilitation, neutral, and competition effect in the north-east facing slope, the south-east facing slope, and the flat ground, respectively. This result was consistent with the stress gradient hypothesis because the facilitation only occurred on the north-east facing slope, which was the most stressed condition, although all the interactions observed were not statistically significant. Conclusions: S. acaulis was a dominant pioneer plant in the succession of coal piles. The interaction effect of S. acaulis on other species depended on the slope and its direction on the coal piles. Overall, it plays an important role in the succession of coal piles in the High Arctic, Svalbard.
