Abstract

Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is one of the limit state design methods, and has been used worldwide, especially in North America. Also, the study for LRFD has been actively conducted in Korea. However, the data for LRFD in Korea were not sufficient, so resistance factors suggested by AASTTO have been used for the design in Korea. But the resistance factors suggested by AASHTO represent the characteristics of bedrocks defined in the US, therefore, it is necessary to determine the resistance factors for designs in Korea, which can reflect the characteristics of bedrocks in Korea. Also, the calculated probabilities of failure from conventional reliability analyses which commonly use log-normal distribution are not realistic because of the lower tail that can be extended to zero. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the resistance factors considering the lower-bound resistance. Thus, this study calculates the resistance factors using thirteen sets of drilled shaft load test results, and then calibrates the resistance factors considering the lower-bound resistance corresponding to a target reliability index of 3.0. As a result, resistance factors from conventional reliability analyses were determined in the range of 0.13-0.32 for the shaft resistance, and 0.19-0.29 for the base resistance, respectively. Also, the lower bounds of resistance were determined based on the Hoek-Brown failure criteria (2002) and GSI downgrading. Considering the lower-bound resistances, resistance factors increased by 0～8% for the shaft, and 0～13% for the base, respectively.

한계상태설계법의 하나인 하중저항계수설계법의 이용이 북미를 중심으로 점차 확산되고 있는 가운데, 국내에서도 이에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 국내에서는 자료가 충분히 확보되지 못하여 기초구조물의 설계에 AASHTO에서 제안한 저항계수를 설계에 이용하고 있다. AASHTO에서 제안하고 있는 저항계수는 북미에 보편적으로 존재하는 암반조건을 이용하여 결정된 저항계수로서, 국내지반에 적합한 저항계수를 독자적으로 개발할 필요가 있다. 또한, 기존의 신뢰성 분석 기법에서는 하중저항계수를 결정할 때, 저항의 최소값을 0으로 가정하는 일반적인 대수정규분포를 이용하기 때문에, 이로부터 산정한 파괴확률은 비현실적이라고 알려져 있다. 따라서, 이를 개선하기 위하여 저항계수를 산정할 때 저항의 하한값이 0이 아닌, 현실적으로 의미가 있는 하한지지력을 이용하는 방법이 최근에 고안되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내에서 수행된 현장타설말뚝 13본에 대한 재하시험자료를 면밀히 분석하여 저항계수를 산정한 다음, 현실성 있는 하한지지력을 산정하여 저항계수 값을 보정하였다. 그 결과, 목표신뢰도지수가 3.0일 때, 기존의 신뢰성 분석 기법으로부터 산정된 주면저항계수와 선단저항계수는 각각 0.13-0.32, 0.19-0.29 이었으며, 하한지지력을 보정하여 구한 주면저항계수와 선단저항계수는 Carter & Kulhawy 공식의 경우 각각 8%와 13% 증가하였다.
