Abstract

PHC piles demonstrate superior resistance to compression and bending moments, and their factory-based production enhances quality assurance and management processes. Despite these advantages that have resulted in widespread use in civil engineering and construction projects, the design process frequently relies on empirical formulas or N-values to estimate the soil-pile friction, which is crucial for bearing capacity, and this reliance underscores a significant lack of experimental validation. In addition, environmental factors, e.g., the pH levels in groundwater and the effects of seawater, are commonly not considered. Thus, this study investigates the influence of vibrating machine foundations on PHC pile models in consideration of the effects of varying pH conditions. Concrete model piles were subjected to a one-month conditioning period in different pH environments (acidic, neutral, and alkaline) and under the influence of seawater. Subsequent repeated direct shear tests were performed on the pile-soil interface, and the disturbed state concept was employed to derive parameters that effectively quantify the dynamic behavior of this interface. The results revealed a descending order of shear stress in neutral, acidic, and alkaline conditions, with the pH-influenced samples exhibiting a more pronounced reduction in shear stress than those affected by seawater.

PHC 말뚝은 압축력 및 휨 모멘트에 대한 저항력이 우수하며, 공장에서의 생산으로 인해 품질 관리가 효율적으로 이루어진다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 다양한 토목 및 건축 현장에서 널리 활용되고 있지만, PHC 말뚝의 설계 과정에서 중요한 요소인 주면 마찰력은 주로 경험식이나 N 값 등의 추정치를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이에 대한 실험적 연구는 상대적으로 부족하며, 환경적 요소 중 하나인 pH 값과 지하수 또는 해수의 영향 역시 간과되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 진동기계 기초의 영향을 받는 PHC 말뚝 모델을 중심으로 다양한 pH 환경(산성, 중성, 염기성) 및 해수의 영향 하에 한 달 동안 수침 후, 해당 PHC 말뚝-사질토의 접촉면에 대한 반복 단순 전단시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 교란 상태 개념(Disturbed State Concept)을 적용하여 접촉면의 동적 거동을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 화학적 환경에 따른 동적 전단응력은 중성 > 산성 > 염기성 순으로 감소하였다. 또한, pH 영향을 받은 경우와 해수의 영향을 받은 경우를 비교했을 때, pH 영향을 받은 경우에 전단응력의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다.
