Abstract

Recently, several studies have been conducted on virtual fixed-point and elastic soil spring methods to simulate the soil-pile interaction in response to spectrum analysis of pile-supported structures. However, the soil spring stiffness has not been properly considered due to the seismic load magnitude, and studies on the response spectrum analysis of pile-supported structures considering this circumstance are inadequate. Therefore, in this study, the response spectrum analysis was performed considering the soil spring stiffness according to the seismic load magnitude, and the dynamic behavior of the pile-supported structure was evaluated by comparing it with existing virtual fixed-point and elastic soil spring methods. Comparing the experiment and analysis, the moment differences occurred up to 117% and 21% in the virtual fixed-point and elastic soil spring models, respectively. Moreover, when the analysis was performed using an API p-y curve considering the soil spring stiffness according to the seismic load magnitude, the moment difference between the experiment and analysis was derived at a maximum of < 4%, and it is the most accurate method to simulate the experimental model response.

최근, 잔교식 말뚝 구조물의 응답스펙트럼해석 시 지반-말뚝 상호작용을 모사하기 위해 가상고정점(virtual fixed point) 및 탄성지반스프링(elastic soil spring) 방법에 관한 몇몇 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그러나, 가상고정점 방법 및 탄성지반스프링 방법의 경우 지진 가속도 크기에 따라 변하는 지반 스프링 강성을 적절히 고려할 수 없으며, 현재까지 이를 고려한 잔교식 말뚝 구조물의 응답스펙트럼해석에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 지진 가속도 크기에 따라 변하는 지반 스프링 강성을 고려하여 응답스펙트럼해석을 수행하였으며, 기존에 제시된 가상고정점 및 탄성지반스프링 방법과의 비교를 통해 잔교식 말뚝 구조물의 동적 거동을 평가하였다. 실험 및 해석을 비교한 결과, 가상고정점 모델의 경우 모멘트 차이가 최대 117% 발생하였고, Terzaghi(1955) 탄성지반스프링 모델의 경우 모멘트 차이가 최대 21% 발생하였다. 반면, API(2000) p-y 곡선을 바탕으로 지진 가속도 크기에 따라 변하는 지반 스프링 강성을 고려하여 응답스펙트럼해석을 수행하는 경우 실험 및 해석의 모멘트 차이가 최대 4% 미만으로 도출되어 실험모델의 응답을 가장 적절히 모사하는 것으로 나타났다.
