Abstract

In this study, a modified empirical formula for estimating the bearing capacity of the steel pipe prebored and precast pile was proposed by performing 20 cases of real-scale field pile loading tests. The proposed formula will be based on expanded SPT N-value in order to consider the realistic condition of the surrounding soil. The formula is proposed based on a statistic approach of the data points from the field pile loading test, in order to ensure safe engineering practice while finding a reliable formula. The statistical analysis of the data points from the loading test indicated that the existing formula has been underestimated the bearing capacity of the prebored and precast pile. The proposed formula estimates 15% and 20% higher pile End bearing capacity (q_t=230P_driven(kN/m²)) and the shaft resistance(f_max=3.0N_s^E(kN/m²)) compared to the existing formula. The accuracy and the stability of the proposed formula was verified by comparing the estimated results with additional field test data. The verification process showed that the proposed formula was estimated to be more accurate than the existing formula.

본 연구에서는 풍화암에 근입된 강관 매입말뚝의 지지력 공식 제안을 위하여 정재하시험 20본과 확인지반조사를 수행하였다. 기존 공식의 표준관입저항치를 50으로 제한하는 문제를 극복하기 위해 지반 현장 상태를 고려할 수 있도록 확장된 표준관입저항치를 기반으로 새로운 지지력 공식을 제안하였다. 재하시험 데이터는 통계적 처리를 수행하였다. 이때, 통계적 처리를 수행하여 얻어진 지지력과 기존공식을 이용한 지지력을 비교한 결과 기존공식이 지지력을 보수적으로 평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 제안된 공식은 기존공식에 비해 지지력은 선단 15%, 주면 20% 더 높게(q_t=230P_driven(kN/m²), f_max=3.0N_s^E(kN/m²)) 평가되는 것으로 확인되었다. 제안식은 여타 현장에 대해 재하시험 결과와 검증을 수행하였으며, 검증 과정에서 제안된 공식이 기존 공식보다 정확히 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.
