Abstract

Recently, as the seismic performance based design methods have been introduced, dynamic numerical analyses need to be performed to evaluate the actual performance of structures under earthquakes. The verification of the numerical modeling is the most important for the performance based design. Therefore, 2-dimensional numerical analyses were performed to simulate the seismic behavior of a pile-supported structure, to provide the proper numerical modeling and to determine of input parameters. A dynamic centrifuge test of a pile group in dry loose sand was simulated to verify the applicability of the numerical model. The numerical modeling was carefully made to reflect the actual condition of the centrifuge test including dynamic soil properties, soil-pile interaction, boundary condition, the modeling of the group pile and structure and so on. The predicted behavior of the numerical analyses successfully simulated the acceleration variation in ground, the moment and displacement of the pile, and the displacement and acceleration of the structure. Therefore, the adopted numerical modeling and the input parameters can be used to evaluate the seismic performance of pile groups.

최근, 성능기반 내진설계법이 도입되면서 동적수치해석을 수행하여 지진에 대한 구조물의 실제 거동을 엄밀히 평가하는 것이 필요해지고 있다. 성능기반설계를 수행하려면 수치해석 모델링의 적용성을 검증하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치해석을 수행하여 말뚝지지 구조물의 동적 거동을 분석하고 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수값 산정방법을 제안하였다. 수치모델링의 적용성은 느슨한 사질토 지반에 설치된 무리말뚝의 동적 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 본 수치모델링은 동적 지반 물성값, 지반-말뚝 상호작용, 경계조건, 무리말뚝과 구조물의 모델링 등 원심모형실험의 실제 조건을 반영하도록 모델링하였다. 그 결과, 수치해석에서 얻어진 결과는 지반 내 가속도 변화, 말뚝의 모멘트와 변위, 그리고 구조물의 변위와 가속도 결과를 잘 모사하였다. 그러므로, 본 수치모델링 기법과 입력변수 산정기법이 무리말뚝의 내진성능을 평가할 때 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
