Abstract

In this study, a sensitivity analysis was carried out by using numerical analysis under the consideration that it is difficult to analyze the behavior of real piled raft foundations on different ground conditions through a real scale test. The program used for numerical analysis is FLAC 3D based on the finite difference method. Piles were modelled by using pile element that is one of the structure elements of FLAC 3D and the ground and raft were modelled by using continuum element. With a fixed pile arrangement of 3×3, the diameter, length, space of piles, and ground conditions were selected as sensitivity parameters and their mutual correlation were investigated. As a result, the bigger and longer pile diameter, length and pile space are, the bigger the bearing capacity of the piled raft becomes. When pile space exceeded a specific value, however, the piled raft foundation behaved like a shallow foundation supported by only a raft. Also it can be confirmed that the better ground conditions are, the more total bearing capacity of the piled raft foundation increases.

본 연구에서는 지반조건에 따른 실제 piled raft 기초의 거동을 실규모 시험을 통해 분석하기가 어려운 점을 감안하여 수치해석을 이용한 민감도분석을 수행하고자 하였다. 수치해석에 사용한 프로그램은 유한차분법 기반의 FLAC 3D이다. 말뚝의 수치해석 모델링은 FLAC의 구조요소 중 하나인 말뚝요소를 사용하여 모델링하였고, 지반과 래프트는 연속체 요소를 이용하여 모사하였다. 말뚝의 배열은 3×3으로 고정하고 말뚝직경, 말뚝길이, 말뚝간격 그리고 지반조건을 민감도 매개변수로 선정하고 상관관계를 규명하였다. 그 결과, 말뚝직경이 크고 말뚝의 길이가 길수록, 그리고 말뚝의 간격이 넓을수록 piled raft 기초의 전체 지지력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지반조건에 따라 말뚝간격이 일정 간격 이상이 될 경우, piled raft 기초의 거동이 래프트만으로 지지되는 얕은기초와 유사한 거동을 보였다. 또한 지반조건이 좋아질수록, piled raft 기초의 전체 지지력은 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
