An analysis model for predicting the tip bearing capacity of drilled shafts in cohesionless soils is improved in this study. The evaluation is based on large amounts of drilled shaft load test data. Assessment on the analysis model reveals a greater variation in two coefficients, namely, the overburden bearing capacity factor ($N_q$) and the bearing capacity modifier for soil rigidity (${\zeta}_{qr}$). These factors are modified from the back analysis of drilled shaft load test results. Different effective shaft depths and interpreted capacities at various loading stages (i.e., low, middle, and high) are adopted for the back calculation. Results show that the modified bearing capacity coefficients maintain their basic relationship with soil effective friction angle ($\bar{\phi}$), in which the $N_q$ increases and ${\zeta}_{qr}$ decreases as $\bar{\phi}$ increases. The suggested effective shaft depth is limited to 15B (B = shaft diameter) for the evaluation of effective overburden pressure. Specific design recommendations for the tip bearing capacity analysis of drilled shafts in cohesionless soils are given for engineering practice.

The probabilistic bearing capacity of a strip footing placed on the edge of a purely cohesive reinforced soil slope is computed by combining lower bound finite element limit analysis technique with random field method and Monte Carlo simulation technique. To simulate actual field condition, anisotropic random field model of undrained soil shear strength is generated by using the Cholesky-Decomposition method. With the inclusion of a single layer of reinforcement, dimensionless bearing capacity factor, N always increases in both deterministic and probabilistic analysis. As the coefficient of variation of the undrained soil shear strength increases, the mean N value in both unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces for particular values of correlation length in horizontal and vertical directions. For smaller correlation lengths, the mean N value of unreinforced and reinforced slopes is always lower than the deterministic solutions. However, with the increment in the correlation lengths, this difference reduces and at a higher correlation length, both the deterministic and probabilistic mean values become almost equal. Providing reinforcement under footing subjected to eccentric load is found to be an efficient solution. However, both the deterministic and probabilistic bearing capacity for unreinforced and reinforced slopes reduces with the consideration of loading eccentricity.

The settlement, bearing capacity, axial force, and skin friction responses of pervious and impervious concrete piles in silty and sandy underlying layer foundations and of pervious concrete piles in model tests were determined. The results showed that pervious concrete piles can exhibit high strengths, provide drainage paths and thus reduce foundation consolidation time. Increasing the soil layer thickness and pile length could eliminate the bearing capacity difference of pervious piles in a foundation with a silty underlying layer. The pervious concrete piles in the sandy underlying layer were more efficacious than those in the silty underlying layer because the sandy underlying layer can provide more bearing capacity than the silty underlying layer. The results indicated that the performances of the pervious concrete piles in the sand and silt foundations differed. The pervious concrete piles functioned as floating piles in the underlying layer with a lower bearing capacity and as end-bearing piles in the underlying layer with a higher bearing capacity.

최근에 들어 사면이나 사면 근처에 교대등과 같이 기초하중이 비교적 큰 구조물들이 시공되는 예가 점차 많아지는 경 향을 보이고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 사면 또는 사면 근처 에 설치되는 기초의 경우는 수평지반에 비해 지지력이 현저하게 떨어지기 때문에, 말뚝이나 케이슨 등과 같은 고가의 깊은기초들이 주로 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 토목섬유 또는 metal strip등의 보강재를 이용하여 사면을 보강하는 경제적인 공법이 필요시 되고,또한 이와같은 공법에 관련된 합리적인 기초지지력 해석법의 제시가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사면 근처에 설치되는 얕은 기초의 지지력 보강을 목적으로 strip등의 보강재를 설치할 경우, 'wide slab effect' 개념등 Huang및 Binquet-Lee등이 모형실험등을 통해 제시한 파괴매카니즘 및 Boussinesq해법 등을 토대로 하여 보강사면에 대한 기초지지력 해석법을 제시하였다. 본 해석법에서는 soil dilatancy 등의 영향에 의한 깊이별 보강재-주변흙 사이의 마찰계수 변화를 함수형태로 표현하여 보강재주변흙 사이의 상호작용을 부분적으로 고려하였으며, 아울러 본 연구를 통해 제시된 기초지지력 해석법의 적합성 검토를 위해 Huang등이 제시한 모형실험결과와 서로 비교하였다. 이외에도, 설계에 관련된 여러 변수들이 기초지지력에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 분석이 이루어졌다.

초고층 건물의 기초는 지반의 지지력, 경제성, 시공성 등이 고려되어 먼저 그 형태가 결정되게 된다. 이 논문에서 고려된 빌딩에서의 깊은 기초의 적용은 심도90~l00m까지 암반의 충분한 지내력이 확보되고 있지 않은데 기인한 것이다. 지반의 지지력이 전반적으로 그다지 크지 않으면서 상부 구조물이 어느 특정기등에 상당한 축력을 미치게 되는 경우 이곳에는 상대적으로 많은 침하가 예상되게 된다. 이러한 경우 전면기초(MAT기초)로 처리하면 지반에 미치는 큰 응력을 주위 지반으로 분산시켜 경제적이며 바람직한 설계가 가능하여 진다. 이때 약한 부분의 지반은 전면기초를 통하여 지지력의 여유가 있는 지반과 연결되게 되므로 전면기초가 이와 같은 휨모멘트나 전단력등을 전달할 수 있도록 설계된다면 기초의 부등침하를 방지할 수 있게되어 상부 구조물을 부등침하로 부터 안전하게 보존할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 이와같이 실제 계획, 설계중인 초고층 건물의 순수전면기초 해석 및 설계로서 일반 실무에도 연결될 수 있는 설계기법과 하중이 지반의 지내력을 초과하는 경우 응력의 재분배를 고려한 모델링 기법을 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper the model tests have been conducted and the results were compared with those by the theoretical methods to study the behaviors of the piled raft. The size of model box is 2.2m${\times}$2m${\times}$2m. The raft is made of rigid steel plate and piles are made of steel pipes. Generally the bearing capacity of group piles is designed with only the pile capacities, which is Ignored the bearing capacity of raft. But the uncertainty of pile-raft-soil interaction leads to conservative design ignoring the bearing effects of raft. In the case of considering the bearing capacity of raft, the simple sum of bearing capacity of raft and that of each pile cannot be the bearing capacity of piled raft. Because the pile-raft-soil interaction affects the behavior of piled raft. Thus the effects of pile-raft-soil interaction are very important in the optimal design. In this paper, the behaviors of piled raft are studied through model tests of 2${\times}$2, 2${\times}$3, and 3${\times}$3 pile groups. The spacing between piles is changed in the model tests. And the behaviors of free standing and piled raft are also studied.

The aim of this paper is to examine the end bearing capacity of a pile in cohesionless soils. The ode of failure of soil due to pile installation is assumed from experimental observation of actual soil deformation. A new solution is proposed complying with the assumed mode of failure by employing the theory of cavity expansion. The effect of curvature of failure envelope is studied in relation to tile proposed solution. The influence of a curved failure envelope becomes larger with increasing degree of curvature and the level of confining stress. This effect in some cases or reduce the end bearing capacity by tore the 80 percent compared with that given by a straight failure envelope. For practical application of tile proposed solution, the method of determining the average volume change in the plastic zone is re-evaluated. The proposed solution is confirmed by comparing the theoretical values with experimental results obtained from model pile tests in a calibration chamber. The comparison shows that the proposed solution provides a reasonable prediction of end bearing capacity for both weak and strong grained soils.

The evaluation of the allowable bearing capacity is the most important step in the design of a foundation. An accurate evaluation of the effect of all factors such as the physical properties of the soil located beneath the area, the size of the area, the depth of foundation, and the position of the water table is impracticable Therefore, the designer is compelled to estimate the allowable bearing capacity on the basis of simple semiempirical rules under cohesionless soils. This paper deals with semiemperical rules for determining allowable bearing capacity based on observed relations between the results of standard penetration test. Additional comparisions between the results of the theoretical methods and the emperical rules are performed to suggest more conservative design for the engineer.

The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the IFR. There is not at present a design criterion for open-ended piles that explicitly considers the effect of IFR on pile load capacity In order to investigate this effect, model pile load tests using a calibration chamber were conducted on instrumented open-ended piles. The results of these tests show that the IFR increases with increasing relative density and increasing horizontal stress of soils. The unit base and shaft resistances decrease with increasing IFR. Based on the results of the model pile tests, new empirical relations for base load capacity and shaft load capacity of open-ended piles are proposed. In order to check the accuracy of predictions made with the proposed equations, the equations were applied to the full-scale pile load test preformed in this study, Based on the comparisons with the pile load test results, the proposed equations appear to produce satisfactory predictions.
