근단층 지역에 위치한 교량은 근단층지반운동에 대한 내진안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 연약지반이 두껍고 다양한 지층으로 구성된 지역에 건설되는 단일형 현장타설말뚝 교량의 지진거동특성과 내진안전성을 분석하였다. 근단층지반운동을 생성하고 지반해석을 수행하여 각 지층에서의 지반가속도이력을 산정하였다. 이 가속도이력을 이용하여 각 지층의 지반을 등가스프링으로 모델화하고, 각 지층에서의 가속도시간이력을 입력지반운동으로 하는 다지점 가진 지진해석을 수행하였다. 근단층지반운동의 특성으로 인하여 교량은 탄성영역 내에서 거동하였지만 최대모멘트의 발생 위치 등이 설계지반운동을 고려할 때와는 상이한 특성을 보였다.

Integral abutment bridges have many advantages over bridges with expansion joints in terms of economy and maintenance costs. However, in the design of abutments of integral bridges temperature loads play a crucial role. In addition, seismic loads are readily transferred to the substructure and affect the design of these components significantly. Currently, the European and American bridge design codes consider these two load cases separately in their recommended design load combinations. In this paper, the importance and necessity of combining the thermal and seismic loads is investigated for integral bridges. A 2D finite element combined pile-soil-structure interactive model is used in this evaluation. Nonlinear behavior is assumed for near field soil behind the abutments. The soil around the piles is modeled by nonlinear springs based on p-y curves. The uniform temperature changes occurring at the time of some significant earthquakes around the world are gathered and applied simultaneously with the corresponding earthquake time history ground motions. By comparing the results of these analyses to prescribed AASHTO LRFD load combinations it is observed that pile forces and abutment stresses are affected by this new load combination. This effect is more severe for contraction mode which is caused by negative uniform temperature changes.

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading has been the most extensive damage to pile foundations during earthquakes. However, a case of pile failure was reported despite the fact that a large margin of safety factor was employed in their design. This means that the current seismic design method of pile is not agreeable with the actual failure mechanism of pile. Newly proposed failure mechanism of pile is a pile failure based on buckling instability. In this study, failure behavior of pile embedded in liquefied soil deposits was analyzed considering lateral spreading and buckling instability performing 1g shaking table test. As a result, it can be concluded that the pile subjected to excessive axial loads ($near\;P_{cr}$) can fail by buckling instability during liquefaction. When lateral spreading took place in sloping grounds, lateral spreading increased lateral deflection of pile and reduced the buckling load, promoting more rapid collapse. In addition, buckling shape of pile was observed. In the ease of pile buckling, hinge formed at the middle of the pile, not at the bottom. And in sloping grounds, location of hinge got loiter compared with level ground because of the effects of lateral spreading.

The seismic design guidelines for the pile-supported marginal wharf structures are studied. Various design codes such as AASHTO code or UBC code, which are focused on general structures, may be referred for the design of the wharf structures. However, in developing domestic design code, special consideration should be made concerning the size of the earthquake and the type of the structure. This study aims at the comparison among the various design codes for a specific wharf structure in the process of developing a domestic design code.

In this study, a series of dynamic centrifuge tests were performed for a soil-foundation-structural interaction system in dry sand with various embedded depths and superstructure conditions. Sinusoidal wave, sweep wave and real earthquake were used as input motion with various input acceleration and frequencies. Based on the results, a natural period and an earthquake load for soil-structure interaction system were evaluated by comparing the free-field and foundation accelerations. The natural period of free field is longer than that of the soil-foundation-structure system. In addition, it is confirmed that the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure system is smaller than that of free-field in short period region. In contrast, the earthquake load for soil-foundation-structure interaction system is larger than that of free-field in long period region. Therefore, the current seismic design method, applying seismic loading of free-field to foundation, could overly underestimate seismic load and cause unsafe design for long period structures, such as high-rise buildings.

The present study investigates the non-linear soil-pile interaction using three-dimensional (3D) non-linear finite element models. The numerical models were validated by using the results of extensive pile load and shaking table tests. The pile performance in liquefiable and non-liquefiable soil has been studied by analyzing the liquefaction ratio, pile lateral displacement (LD), pile bending moment (BM), and frictional resistance (FR) results. The pile models have been developed for the different ground conditions. The study reveals that the results obtained during the pile load test and shaking cycles have good agreement with the predicted pile and soil response. The soil density, peak ground acceleration (PGA), slenderness ratio (L/D), and soil condition (i.e., dry and saturated) are considered during modeling. Four ground motions are used for the non-linear time history analyses. Consequently, design charts are proposed depended on the analysis results to be used for design practice. Eleven models have been used to validate the capability of these charts to capture the soil-pile response under different seismic intensities. The results of the present study demonstrate that L/D ratio slightly affects the lateral displacement when compared with other parameters. Also, it has been observed that the increasing in PGA and decreasing L/D decreases the excess pore water pressure ratio; i.e., increasing PGA from 0.1 g to 0.82 g of loose sand model, decrease the liquefaction ratio by about 50%, and increasing L/D from 15 to 75 of the similar models (under Kobe earthquake), increase this ratio by about 30%. This study reveals that the lateral displacement increases nonlinearly under both dry and saturated conditions as the PGA increases. Similarly, it is observed that the BM increases under both dry and saturated states as the L/D ratio increases. Regarding the acceleration histories, the pile BM was reduced by reducing the acceleration intensity. Hence, the pile BM decreased to about 31% when the applied ground motion switched from Kobe (PGA=0.82 g) to Ali Algharbi (PGA=0.10 g). This study reveals that the soil conditions affect the relationship pattern between the FR and the PGA. Also, this research could be helpful in understanding the threat of earthquakes in different ground characteristics.

Piles of a bridge pier are connected with a column through a pile cap(footing). Behavior of the pile foundation can be different according to the connection method between piles and the pile cap. This difference causes a change of the design method. Connection methods between pile heads and the pile cap are divided into two groups ; rigid connections and hinge connections. KHBDC(Korea Highway Bridge Design Code) has specified to use rigid connection method for the highway bridge. In the rigid connection method, maximum bending moment of a pile occurs at the pile head and this helps the pile to prevent the excessive displacement. Rigid methods are also good to improve the seismic performance. However some specifications prescribe that conservative results through investigations for both the fixed-head condition and the free-head condition should be reflected in the design. This statement may induce an over-estimated design for the bridge which have very good quality structures with casing covered drilled shafts and the PC-house contained pile cap. Because the assumption of free-head conditions (hinge connections) are unreal for the elevated pile cap system with multiple piles of the long span sea-crossing bridges. On the other hand, elastic displacement method to evaluate the pile reactions under the pile cap is not suitable for this type of bridges due to impractical assumptions. So, full modeling techniques which analyze the superstructure and the substructure simultaneously should be performed. Loads and stress state of the very large diameter drilled shaft and the pile cap for Incheon Bridge which will the longest bridge in Korea were investigated through the full modeling for rigid connection conditions.

철도하중 및 지진하중 재하 시 궤도지지말뚝 구조의 동적 거동 평가를 위해 동적원심모형 실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 변수는 연약지반의 깊이와 성토체의 높이로 결정하였으며, 총 4가지 경우에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 연약지반 깊이는 실제 연약지반층에 고속철도를 부설한 호남고속철도의 익산-정읍 구간의 시추주상도를 분석하여 결정하였으며, 성토체의 높이는 일반적인 고속철도의 성토체 높이 범위의 하한 값과 상한 값으로 결정하였다. 실험 결과, 연약지반 깊이 대비 성토체 높이 비율이 높을 수록 말뚝에 작용하는 최대 휨모멘트 값이 크게 평가되었다. 또한, 실험조건 내에서 부설되는 궤도지지말뚝 구조는 단주기 지진파에 대해서는 국내 내진설계 기준의 최대 지진하중인 0.22g에 대해서까지 안전한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나, 장주기 지진파에 대해서는 재현주기 2400년 지진인 0.22g로 가진시 말뚝의 균열 모멘트가 초과되었다. 일련의 실험결과를 바탕으로, 본 논문에 기술된 연약지반 깊이와 성토체 높이 범위 내에서 궤도지지말뚝 일반 단면에 대한 연약지반 대비 성토체 높이 비율 기준을 제시하였다.

연약지반이 두껍고 다양한 지층으로 구성된 지역에 건설되는 단일형 현장타설말뚝 교량은 다양한 지층을 통해서 단일형 말뚝으로 입력되는 지반운동에 대해서 내진안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 설계지반운동에 부합되는 다수의 인공합성지진을 생성하여 이를 암반의 입력지반으로 하여 지반해석을 수행하여 각 지층에서의 지반가속도이력을 산정하였다. 이 가속도이력을 이용하여 각 지층의 지반을 등가스프링으로 모델화하고, 각 지층에서의 가속도시간이력을 입력지반운동으로 하는 다지점 가진 지진해석을 수행하였다. 연약층의 비선형거동특성으로 입력지반운동의 세기는 크게 증폭되지 않아서 교량은 탄성영역 내에서 거동하였다. 한편, 특정 지층에서 산정된 가속도이력을 모든 지반스프링에 동시에 입력하면 응답이 감소하였다. 따라서, 다지점가진 해석을 수행하지 않으면 이러한 형식의 교량의 내진성능을 과대평가할 수 있다.
