Abstract

Recently, cases for inevitable adjacent construction are increasing due to the limited spaces in urban area. When a new structure is constructed near an existing structure, interference effects induced by the pre-existing structure should be considered. Thus, numbers of studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of adjacent construction, while laboratory scales studies are not well reported. In this study, laboratory scale experiments have been conducted to investigate the bearing capacity and settlement variations with different adjacent construction cases. Results show an optimistic ground bearing capacity increase of the new foundation structure due to the existing foundation structure, while concerns on the increased settlement of the pre-existing structure. Thus, both bearing capacity of the new foundation structure and subsequent settlement of the existing foundation structure have to be considered when assessing the technical applicability of adjacent structure construction on site.

오늘날 도시 과밀화로 인해 한정된 부지를 효과적으로 사용하기 위해 기존 구조물과 인접한 조건에서 신규 구조물이 시공되는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 기존 구조물 근처에 신규 구조물이 시공되는 경우 기존 구조물에 의한 간섭효과가 발생할 수 있어, 이와 관련된 다양한 국내외 연구들이 진행되고 있지만 실험실 규모에서 모사할 수 있는 근접 구조물의 조건들이 한정적이라 실제 현장 조건을 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있다. 아울러 근접시공에 관한 명확한 기준과 역학적 거동이 규명되어 있지 않아 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 크기의 근접 구조물 시공 조건에 대한 지지력 및 침하량 변화를 관찰하기 위한 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 사질토 지반에서 구조물이 특정 거리 내에 근접 시공되는 경우 간섭효과로 인해 신규 구조물의 지지력 상승 효과가 확인되었으나 기존 구조물의 침하량이 증가하여 실제 근접 시공 시 면밀한 검토가 필요함을 확인하였다.
