Abstract

For circular rigid footings with a rough base on sand, combined vertical - moment loading capacity was studied by three-dimensional numerical modelling. Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model with the associated flow-rule was used for the soil. After comparing the results of the swipe loading method, which can construct the interaction diagram with smaller number of analyses, and those of the probe loading method, which can simulate the load-paths in the conventional load tests, it was found that both loading methods give similar results. Conventional methods based on the effective width or area concept and the results by eccentricity factor () were reviewed. The results by numerical modelling of this study were compared with those of previous studies. The combined loading capacity for vertical (V) - moment (M) loading was barely affected by the internal friction angle. It was found that the effective width concept expressed in the form of eccentricity factor can be applied to circular footings. The numerical results of this study were smaller than the previous experimental results and the differences between them increased with the eccentricity and moment load. Discussions are made on the reason of the disparities between the numerical and experimental results, and the areas for further researches are mentioned.

모래지반 표면에 위치한 강체 원형기초를 대상으로 수치해석을 통하여 수직-모멘트 조합하중 조건에서의 지지력을 구하였다. 지반은 Mohr-Coulomb 소성모델을 이용하여 모델링하였으며 관련흐름법칙을 적용하였고, 거친 기초 바닥면 조건에 대하여 검토하였다. 적은 수의 해석으로 조합하중 상관도를 산출할 수 있는 swipe 재하 방법과 통상적인 재하실험에서 적용되는 probe 재하 방법을 적용하여 비교한 결과, 두 방법은 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 모멘트하중을 고려하기 위하여 전통적으로 사용되는 유효폭 및 유효면적 개념을 사용한 결과와 편심계수()를 사용한 방법들을 비교하였으며, 기존의 제안식들과 수치모델링으로 구해진 본 연구의 결과를 비교하였다. 수직-모멘트 조합하중 지지력의 내부마찰각에 따른 변화는 미미한 것으로 나타났으며, 유효폭 개념은 편심계수의 형태로 변환하여 원형기초에도 그대로 적용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 수치모델링 결과는 기존의 실험에 기반한 결과들에 비해 다소 작은 값을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 편심 및 모멘트하중이 증가할수록 그 차이는 증가하였다. 수치모델링과 실험 결과가 차이를 나타내는 요인과 향후 연구 방향에 대하여 고찰하였다.
