This paper proposes an approximate procedure to estimate seismic displacement capacity - defined as yield displacement times the displacement ductility - of piles in marine oil terminals. It is shown that the displacement ductility of piles is relatively insensitive to most of the pile parameters within ranges typically applicable to most piles in marine oil terminals. Based on parametric studies, lower bound values of the displacement ductility of two types of piles commonly used in marine oil terminals - reinforced-concrete and hollow-steel - with either pin connection or full-moment-connection to the deck for two seismic design levels - Level 1 or Level 2 - and for two locations of the hinging in the pile - near the deck or below the ground - are proposed. The lower bound values of the displacement ductility are determined such that the material strain limits specified in the Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standard (MOTEMS) are satisfied at each design level. The simplified procedure presented in this paper is intended to be used for preliminary design of piles or as a check on the results from the detailed nonlinear static pushover analysis procedure, with material strain control, specified in the MOTEMS.

Integral pile shaft-column foundations are increasingly popular thanks to not only the comparative advantage of economy in constructing large cast-in-drilled-hole(CIDH) piles compared with driven piles with pile cap footings but also being free from problems associated with the critical column-footing connection. In this paper, the structural characteristics of integral pile shaft-column foundations as well as seismic analysis methodology and reinforcement details for seismic design are introduced.

Recent changes in the construction method of piles to minimize noise, along with the development of high-strength reinforcement, have provided an economical high performance RC pile development to compensate for the disadvantages of existing PHC piles. In this study, a methodology for the development of cross - section details of high performance RC piles of various performances is presented by freely applying high strength steel and concrete. This study suggested a technique for calculating bending moments for a given axial force corresponding to the allowable crack widths and this can be used for serviceablity check. In calculating the design shear force, the existing design equation applicable to the rectangular or the I section was modified to be applicable to the hollow circular section. In particular, in the limit state design method, the shear force is calculated in proportion to the axial force, and the procedure for calculating PV diagram is established. Last, the section details are determined through PM diagrams that they have the similar flexural and axial-flexural performances of the PHC pile A, B and C types with a diameter of 500 mm. To facilitate the application of the selected standard sections to the practical tasks, the design PM diagram and design shear forces are proposed in accordance with the strength design method and limit state design method.

국토의 70% 이상이 산지인 국내 지형 조건에서 도로, 철도 등 크고 작은 건설 공사에서는 필연적으로 사면이 형성된다. 그러나, 최근 국내외적으로 빈번히 발생하는 지진에 대한 사면안정 보강공법에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 1 g 진동대 실험 및 등가정적해석을 이용하여 사면의 내진 보강공법으로써 억지말뚝의 적용성을 평가하고, 억지말뚝이 적용된 사면 및 억지말뚝의 지진시 거동을 분석하였다. 1 g 진동대 실험 결과로부터, 억지말뚝 보강 사면의 지진시 사면파괴 억지효과를 검증하였으며, 등가정적해석을 통해 억지 말뚝을 사면 하부 또는 상부보다 사면 파괴면의 중앙부에 말뚝을 설치했을 때 사면파괴 억지효과가 가장 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 말뚝이 사면 중앙부에 설치되었을 경우, 말뚝의 중심 간격에 따른 안전율 변화를 등가정적해석으로부터 분석하였다.

상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝의 내진설계 시 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려되어야 한다. 무리말뚝 설계 시 지반과 구조물의 비선형 관계는 p-y 곡선이 많이 사용되고 있으며 지진과 같은 동적하중조건에서 지반-구조물의 상호작용이 고려된 동적 p-y 곡선을 무리말뚝의 내진설계에 사용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 연구는 말뚝 캡에 의한 지지효과 및 상부구조물의 관성거동에 의한 상호작용은 고려되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 근입된 상부구조물을 지지하는 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡의 변화가 무리말뚝에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 말뚝의 배열 및 중심 간격은 고정하고 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격을 변화시켜 진동대 모형실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 무리말뚝에서 말뚝 캡 측면과 말뚝 중심 간격의 변화가 말뚝의 동적 p-y 곡선 및 무리말뚝 효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Soil-pile raft-structure interaction is recognized as a significant phenomenon which influences the seismic behaviour of structures. Soil structure interaction (SSI) has been extensively used to analyze the response of superstructure and piled raft through various modelling and analysis techniques. Major drawback of previous study is that overall interaction among entire soil-pile raft-superstructure system considering highlighting the change in design forces of various components in structure has not been explicitly addressed. A recent study addressed this issue in a broad sense, exhibiting the possibility of increase in pile shear due to SSI. However, in this context, relative stiffness of raft and that of pile with respect to soil and length of pile plays an important role in regulating this effect. In this paper, effect of relative stiffness of piled raft and soil along with other parameters is studied using a simplified model incorporating pile-soil raft and superstructure interaction in very soft, soft and moderately stiff soil. It is observed that pile head shear may significantly increase if the relative stiffness of raft and pile increases and furthermore stiffer pile group has a stronger effect. Outcome of this study may provide insight towards the rational seismic design of piles.

잔교식 구조물은 상판을 말뚝 또는 기둥으로 지지하는 형식의 항만 구조물로서, 경사 말뚝을 설치하여 지진하중과 같은 수평하중을 부분적으로 축력으로 분담하도록 설계할 수 있다. 기준서에서는 잔교식 구조물 내진설계 시 예비 설계 방법으로 응답스펙트럼해석법을 활용하도록 설명하고 있으며, 응답스펙트럼 해석 시 말뚝을 가상고정점 방법 및 지반스프링 방법을 적용하여 모델링하도록 제시하고 있다. 최근 응답스펙트럼해석 시 구조물의 동적 응답을 적절히 모사하는 모델링 방법을 도출하기 위해 연직 말뚝으로 구성된 잔교식 구조물에 관한 몇몇 연구들이 수행되어 왔으나, 현재까지 경사말뚝이 적용된 잔교식 구조물에 대한 응답스펙트럼해석 관련 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 경사말뚝이 설치된 잔교식 구조물의 모델링 방법에 따른 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 동적원심모형실험과 더불어 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석을 비교한 결과, 경사말뚝이 설치된 잔교식 구조물의 경우 실제 응답을 적절히 모사하기 위해 Terzaghi(1955)가 제시한 수평지반반력상수를 활용하여 모델링을 수행하는 것이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

The behavior of pile-deck connections of pile-supported marginal wharfs subjected to earthquake loading is of key importance to ensure a good performance of this type of structures. Two precast-pretensioned pile-deck connections used in the construction of pile-supported marginal wharfs were tested under cyclic loading. The first is a connection with simple reinforcement details and light steel ratio developed for use where moderate pile-deck rotation demands are expected in the wharf. The second is specifically developed to sustain the large rotation, shear force and bending moment demands, as required for the shortest piles in a marginal wharf. Data obtained from the test program is used in the paper to calibrate an equivalent plastic hinge length that can be incorporated into nonlinear analysis models of these structures when prestressed pile-deck connections with duct embedded dowels are used.

Wharfs are essential to shipping and support very large gravity loads on both a short-term and long-term basis which cause quite large seismic internal forces. Therefore, these structures are vulnerable to seismic activities. As they are supported on vertical and/or batter piles, soil-pile interaction effects under earthquake events have a great importance in seismic resistance which is not yet fully understood. Seismic design codes have become more stringent and suggest the use of new design methods, such as Performance Based Design principles. According to Turkish Code for Coastal and Port Structures (TCCS 2008), the interaction between soil and pile should somehow be considered in the nonlinear analysis in an accurate manner. This study aims to explore the lateral load carrying capacity of recently designed wharf structures considering soil-pile interaction effects for different soil conditions. For this purpose, nonlinear structure analysis according to TCCS (2008) has been performed comparing simplified and detailed modeling results.

Designing pile foundations subjected to the uplift forces such as buildings, oil platforms, and anchors is becoming increasingly concerned. In this paper, the conceptual design of a new type of driven piles called expanding pile is presented and assessed. Some grooves have been created in the shaft of the novel pile, and some moveable arms have been designed at the pile tip. At first, static analyses using the finite element method were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative pile on the axial bearing capacity. Then its effect on seismic behavior of moment frame is considered. Results show that the expanding arms were provided an ideal anchorage system because of the soil's noticeable locking-up effect increasing uplift bearing capacity. For example at the end of the static tensile loading procedure, displacement decrement up to 55 percent is observed. In addition, comparing the uplift bearing capacity of the usual and new pile with different lengths in sand and clay layers shows noticeable effect and sharp increase up to about two times especially in longer piles. Besides, a sensible reduction in the seismic response and the stresses in the beam-column connection between 23-36 percent are achieved that ensures better seismic behavior of the structures.
