Abstract

Bearing capacity factor Nγ and shape factor were studied for rigid strip and circular footings with a rough base on sand by numerical modelling considering the effect of dilation angle. The numerical model was developed with an explicit finite difference code. Loading procedures and interpretation methods were devised in order to shorten the running time while eliminating the exaggeration of the reaction caused by the explicit scheme. Using the Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model with associated () and nonassociated () flow-rules, the bearing capacity factor was evaluated for various combinations of internal friction angles and dilation angles. Bearing capacity factor decreased as the dilation angle was reduced from the associated condition. An equation applicable to typical sands was proposed to evaluate the relative bearing capacity for the nonassociated condition compared to the associated condition on which most bearing capacity factor equations are based. The shape factor for the circular footing varied substantially when the plane-strain effect was taken into account for the strip footing. The numerical results of this study showed closer trends with the previous experimental results when the internal friction angle was increased for the strip footing. Discussions are made on the reason that previous equations for the shape factor give different results and recommendations are made for the appropriate design shape factor.

모래지반의 지표면에 위치한 거친 바닥면을 가진 강체 연속기초와 원형기초에 대하여 수치해석을 이용하여 팽창각 변화에 따른 지지력계수 Nγ와 형상계수를 구하였다. 양해법(explicit method)에 기반한 유한차분해석을 이용하여 지지력계수를 산정하기 위한 수치모델과 해석절차를 개발하고, Mohr-Coulomb 소성모델을 이용하여 다양한 내부마찰각()과 팽창각() 범위에 대하여 지지력계수를 도출하였다. 팽창각이 감소됨에 따라 지지력도 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 보편적인 지지력계수 제안식들이 가정하고 있는 관련흐름법칙(associated flow-rule)이 적용된 경우()를 기준으로 비관련흐름법칙(nonassociated flow-rule)이 적용된 경우()의 상대적인 지지력 비율을 산출하였고, 일반적인 모래에 대한 관계식을 제안하였다. 원형기초의 형상계수는 연속기초의 평면변형률 조건의 고려 여부에 따라 크게 변하였으며, 평면변형률 조건을 고려하여 내부마찰각을 증가시킨 경우가 기존의 실험 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 형상계수 제안식들의 경향이 차이를 나타내는 원인에 대하여 고찰하고 설계시 적용 방안을 제시하였다.
