본 연구에서는 매입말뚝의 지지력과 침하에 큰 영향을 미치는 시멘트풀과 지반 사이의 주면 인터페이스 및 영향인자에 따른 거동을 분석하였다. 시멘트풀과 지반 사이의 인터페이스를 고려하기 위한 User-defined 모델을 적용하였고, 현장 시험 결과와의 검증을 바탕으로 매입말뚝 거동을 고려한 새로운 t-z 곡선을 제안하였다. 또한, 매입말뚝의 거동에 영향을 주는 인자 중 시멘트풀의 유무 그리고 시멘트풀-지반 사이의 인터페이스 모델에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 시멘트풀이 있는 경우 주면마찰력이 급격히 증가하는 것이 확인되었고, 침하량은 감소하는 것으로 확인되었고, 본 연구에서 제안한 t-z 곡선이 매입말뚝 거동을 더 정확히 예측할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a numerical study using finite element method with considering soil-structure interaction was conducted to investigate the stress and deformation behavior of a sheet pile wall structure. In numerical model, one of the nonlinear elastic material constitutive models, Duncan-Chang E-v model, is used for describing soil behavior. The hard contact constitutive model is used for simulating the behavior of interface between the sheet pile wall and soil. The construction process of excavation and backfill is simulated by the way of step loading. We also compare the present numerical method with the in-situ test results for verifying the numerical methods. The numerical analysis showed that the soil excavation in the lock chamber has a huge effect on the wall deflection and stress, pile deflection, and anchor force. With the increase of distance between anchored bars, the maximum wall deflection and anchor force increase, while the maximum wall stress decreases. At a low elevation of anchored bar, the maximum wall bending moment decreases, but the maximum wall deflection, pile deflection, and anchor force both increase. The construction procedure with first excavation and then backfill is quite favorable for decreasing pile deflection, wall deflection and stress, and anchor forces.

본 연구에서는 2차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 부마찰(negative skin friction) 이 작용하는 단독말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 압밀의 진행에 따른 부마찰의 변화를 검토하기 위하여 압밀해석을 실시하였으며, 말뚝과 주변지반 사이에서의 항복(yielding, slip)을 고려하였다. 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 -방법에 의해 부마찰력을 산정하는 경우 중립면 부근에서의 전단강도의 부분발현 및 지중응력의 감소를 반영할 수 없기 때문에 정밀유한요소 해석에 비하여 부마찰력이 25% 정도 과하게 평가된다. 압밀이 진행 중일 때 말뚝과 지반사이 대부분의 구간에서 항복이 발생하는 경우 더 이상의 부마찰력의 증가는 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 부마찰이 발생하는 말뚝에 코팅을 실시하는 경우 부마찰력의 크기 및 말뚝의 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있으나, 말뚝두부에 상재하중이 작용할 때 말뚝의 선단이 충분히 견고한 지지층에 설치되어 있지 않은 경우 말뚝의 마찰저항력이 매우 작아서 말뚝에 큰 침하가 발생할 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 말뚝의 인발저항에 대한 합리적 평가를 위하여, 다양한 지반 조건(상대밀도, 세립분 함유율)에서 말뚝의 인발거동 모사에 대한 유한요소해석의 적용성을 평가하였다. 즉, 기존의 실내모형실험 결과(You et al., 2018)를 대상으로 동일한 조건에서의 유한요소해석을 실시하였고, 유한요소해석에 이용된 해석모델의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 또한 수치해석을 활용한 말뚝의 인발거동 모사에 대한 적정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 가상지반이 적용된 축대칭 해석을 이용하여 말뚝의 주면마찰력을 평가할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 다양한 지반 조건에 대하여 말뚝-지반 경계면의 전단저항 특성을 반영할 수 있는 축대칭 해석은 말뚝의 합리적인 인발거동 모사가 가능한 해석방법으로 활용이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 제안된 해석모델은 말뚝의 응력-변형 관계를 통한 인발거동을 적절하게 모사할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

Dynamic response of Pile Supported Structures is highly depended on Soil Pile Structure Interaction. In this paper, by comparison of experimental and numerical dynamic responses of a prototype jacket offshore platform for both hinge based and pile supported boundary conditions, effect of soil-pile-structure interaction on dynamic characteristics of this platform is studied. Jacket and deck of a prototype platform is installed on a hinge-based case first and then platform is installed on eight skirt piles embedded on continuum monolayer sand. Dynamic characteristics of platform in term of natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping are compared for both cases. Effects of adding and removing vertical bracing members in top bay of jacket on dynamic characteristics of platform for both boundary conditions are also studied. Numerical simulation of responses for the studied platform is also performed for both mentioned cases using capability of ABAQUS and SACS software. The 3D model using ABAQUS software is created using solid elements for soil and beam elements for jacket, deck and pile members. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and pile-soil interface element are used for considering nonlinear pile soil structure interaction. Simplified modeling of soil-pile-structure interaction effect is also studied using SACS software. It is observed that dynamic characteristics of the system changes significantly due to soil-pile-structure interaction. Meanwhile, both of complex and simplified (ABAQUS and SACS, respectively) models can predict this effect accurately for such platforms subjected to dynamic loading in small range of deformation.

본 연구에서는 지중 구속압과 말뚝-지반 경계면 전단 특성의 관계를 평가하기 위하여 기존의 실험결과와 강도감소계수가 적용된 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 유한요소해석에서 말뚝-지반 경계면의 전단거동 모사는 강도감소계수를 적용하였다. 해석 결과, 세립분 함유율이 증가할수록 구속압의 영향이 낮아지면서 최대 인발저항력은 감소하였다. 이 해석결과의 경향은 기존 실험 결과와 유사한 것으로서, 경계면 강도감소계수가 적용된 유한요소해석 모델은 적절하게 모사된 것으로 평가되었다. 경계면 강도감소계수의 변화를 분석한 결과, 구속압 50kPa의 경우에는 세립분 함유율이 증가할수록 경계면 강도감소계수의 증가가 확연하게 나타난 반면에, 구속압이 100kPa 및 150kPa의 경우에는 그 증가폭이 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 말뚝-지반 경계면의 전단 거동을 평가하기 위한 유한요소해석은 구속압과 세립분 함유율이 고려되어야 한다.

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.

The interactions between a granular pile and raft placed on top are investigated using the continuum approach. The compatibility of vertical and radial displacements along the pile - soil interface and of the vertical displacements along the raft - top of ground interfaces are satisfied. Results show that consideration of radial displacement compatibility does not influence the settlement response of or sharing of the applied load between the granular pile and the raft. The percentage load carried by the granular pile (GP) increases with the increase of its stiffness and decreases with the increase of the relative size of raft. The normal stresses at the raft - soil interface decrease with the increase of stiffness of GP and/or relative length of GP. The influences of GP stiffness and relative length of GP are found to be more for relatively large size of raft. The percentage of load transferred to the base of GP increases with the increase of relative size of raft.

A series of three-dimensional (3D) parametric finite element analyses have been performed to study the influence of the relative locations of pile tips with regards to the tunnel position on the behaviour of single piles and pile groups to adjacent tunnelling in weathered soil. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, which considers the relative pile tip location with respect to the tunnel position, tunnelling-induced pile head settlements are larger than those computed from the Greenfield condition. However, when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, a reverse trend is obtained. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, the tunnelling-induced tensile pile forces mobilised, but when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, compressive pile forces are induced because of tunnelling, depending on the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. For piles connected to a cap, tensile and compressive forces are mobilised at the top of the centre and side piles, respectively. It has been shown that the increases in the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements have resulted in reductions of the apparent factor of safety up to approximately 43% when the pile tips are inside the influence zone, therefore severely affecting the serviceability of the piles. The pile behaviour, when considering the location of the pile tips with regards to the tunnel, has been analysed in great detail by taking the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements, axial pile forces, apparent factor of safety of the piles and shear transfer mechanism into account.

Dynamic numerical simulation of pile-supported slab track system embedded in a soft soil and embankment was performed. 3D model was formulated in a time domain to consider the non-linearity of soil by utilizing FLAC 3D, which is a finite difference method program. Soil non-linearity was simulated by adopting the hysteric damping model and liner elements, which could consider soil-pile interface. The long period seismic loads, Hachinohe type strong motions, were applied for estimating seismic respose of the system, Parametric study was carried out by changing subsoil layer profile, embankment height and seismic loading conditions. The most of horizontal permanent displacement was initiated by slope failure. Increase of the embedded height and thickness of the soft soil layer leads increase of member forces of PHC piles; bending moment, and axial force. Finally, basic guidelines for designing pile-supported slab track system under seismic loading are recommended based on the analysis results.
