Abstract

A pile is a type of medium for constructing superstructures in weak geotechnical conditions. A pretensioned spun high-strength concrete (PHC) pile is composed of high-strength concrete with a specified strength greater than 80 MPa. Therefore, it has advantages in resistance to axial and bending moments and quality control and management since it is manufactured in a factory. However, the skin friction of a pile, which accounts for a large portion of the pile bearing capacity, is only approximated using empirical equations or standard penetration test (SPT) N-values. Particularly, there are some poor research results on the pile-soil interface under the seismic loads in Korea. Additionally, some studies do not consider geoenvironmental elements, such as groundwater pH values. This study performs sets of cyclic simple shear tests using submerged concrete specimens for 1 month to consider pH values of groundwater and clay specimens composed of kaolinite to generate a pile-soil interface. 0.2 and 0.4 MPa of normal stress conditions are considered in the case of pH values. The disturbed state concept is employed to express the dynamic behavior of the interface, and the disturbed function parameters are newly suggested. Consequently, the largest disturbance increase under basic conditions is observed, and an early approach to the failure under low normal stress conditions is presented. The disturbance function parameters are also suggested to express this disposition quantitatively.

말뚝(pile)은 연약한 지반에 구조물을 설치하기 위하여 지중에 관입시키는 매개체로서, 특히 PHC말뚝은 설계기준강도 80MPa 이상의 고강도 콘크리트를 사용하여 제작하므로 압축력과 휨모멘트에 대한 저항성이 우수하다. 또한 강관말뚝 대비 경제성에서 유리하며 공장에서 생산되므로 품질확보 및 관리가 용이하다. 하지만 PHC말뚝의 설계 시 지지력에 영향을 미치는 주면마찰력은 단순히 경험식 또는 N값 등을 이용한 추정치에 의한 설계가 이루어지고 있으며, 특히 최근 빈도수가 급증하고 있는 국내 지진에 대하여 PHC말뚝 주면부에 형성되는 지반과의 접촉면 동적거동에 관한 실험적 연구 사례는 미미한 실정이다. 또한 지반 내 지하수의 pH 값과 같은 지반환경적 요소 역시 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수의 pH 값을 고려하여 산성, 중성, 염기성 용액에 1개월간 수침시킨 콘크리트 시료를 점토의 구성광물인 카올리나이트 시료와 접촉시키고, 반복 단순전단시험을 수행하였다. 반복 단순전단시험은 상재압 0.2MPa 및 0.4MPa에 대하여 각각 수행하였고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 접촉면의 동적 거동을 합리적으로 표현하기 위하여 교란상태개념(Disturbed State Concept)을 도입하여 교란상태함수를 구성하는 매개변수를 도출하였다. 그 결과 염기성 수침시료에 대하여 접촉면의 교란도가 가장 급격히 증가하였고 구속압이 작을 경우 보다 작은 누적 전단변형률에서 조기에 접촉면이 파괴상태에 근접하는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 이러한 경향을 정량적으로 표현하는 교란상태함수의 매개변수를 새로이 제시하였다.
