An Experimental Study on the Bearing Characteristics of Auger-Cast Pile Installed Using Expansive Mortar

  • Published : 1999.06.01

Abstract

The frictional capacity of auger-cast piles is often very small because of the disturbance of the soil surrounding the pile during the excavation process. Usage of expansive agents and a pressurized injection technique for auger-cast piles should improve the frictional resistance between pile and soil. This paper presents the test results of auger-cast model piles installed with expansive mortar in laboratory compacted weathered soil. The model piles were installed in a calibration chamber with a variation in the amount of expansive agent, the injection process and the chamber pressure. It was observed that the pile shaft resistance increases with the increased amount of expansive agent, and also increases when mortar is pressure injected. The shaft resistance increased up to 24% for the pile installed only with expansive mortar and increased up to 56% for the pile installed with the pressurized injection of expansive mortar, compared with that of piles with plain mortar.

천공굴착을 선행하게 되는 배토형 auger-cast 말뚝의 경우, 굴착 및 지반교란에 의한 횡방향응력의 감소로 인하여 주면마찰력이 타입식 말뚝에 비해 작게 발휘되는 것이 일반적이다. 이러한 auger-cast말뚝의 주면마찰력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 팽창제의 사용과 가압주입의 적용효과를 고찰하고자 다짐 조성된 화강풍화토 지반에서의 팽창성 몰탈을 사용한 auger-cast 모형말뚝의 실내실첩을 실시하였다. 모형말뚝은 팽창제의 양과 주입방법, 그리고 토조가압의 조건들을 변화시키면서 모형토조안에 제작되었다. 실험결과 팽창제의 사용이 증가함에 따라 말뚝의 주면마찰력이 점점 증가하는 경향으로 나타났으며, 이러한 증가의 폭은 가압주입이 적용되었을 때 더 뚜렷하게 발생하였다. 일반 몰탈을 가압 없이 주입하여 시공한 말뚝의 주면마찰력과 비교하여, 가압주입 없이 팽창제만 사용된 경우, 그리고 팽창제와 가압주입이 병행되어 사용되어진 경우 각각 2%, 그리고 56%까지 주면마찰력이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다.
