Abstract

Piled raft foundations have been highlighted as an economical design concept of pile foundations in recent years. However, piled raft foundations have not been widely used in Korea due to the difficulty in estimating the complex interaction effects among rafts, piles and soils. The authors developed an effective numerical program to analyze the behavior of piled raft foundations for practical design purposes and presented it briefly in this paper. The developed numerical program simulates the raft as a flexible plate consisting of finite elements with eight nodes and the raft is supported by a series of elastic springs representing subsoils and piles. This study imported another model to simulate pile groups considering non-linear behavior and interaction effects. The apparent stiffnesses of the soils and piles were estimated by iterative calculations to satisfy the compatibility between those two components and the behavior of piled raft foundations can be predicted using these stiffnesses. For the verification of the program, the analysis results about some example problems were compared with those of rigorous three dimensional finite element analysis and other approximate analysis methods. It was found that the program can analyze non-linear behaviors and interaction effects efficiently in multi-layered soils and has sufficient capabilities for application to practical analysis and design of piled raft foundations.

말뚝지지 전면기초는 말뚝기초를 경제적으로 설계할 수 있는 개념으로 주목을 받고 있으나, 전면기초, 말뚝, 지반간의 상호작용이 복잡하여 아직 국내에서 쉽게 실용화가 되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 저자들은 말뚝지지 전면기초의 실용화를 위해 필수적이라고 할 수 있는 효율적인 근사해석 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 본 논문에 그 내용을 간략하게 소개하였다. 개발된 프로그램에 적용된 해석모델은 크게 두 부분으로 구성되는데, 하나는 스프링 위에 놓인 유한요소의 기초판 해석모델이고, 다른 하나는 다층지반에 대하여 말뚝의 비선형성 및 상호작용의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 군말뚝 해석모델이다. 두 모델간의 적합조건을 만족시키기 위한 반복계산과정을 통해 지반과 말뚝의 강성을 구하여 말뚝지지 전면기초의 설계에 필요한 거동 예측결과를 얻을 수 있다. 해석기법의 검증을 위하여 정밀한 3차원 유한요소해석 및 기존에 개발된 근사해석방법들과의 비교분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 개발된 프로그램이 기초요소간의 상호작용을 합리적으로 고려하면서도 비선형 해석이 가능하고 다층지반에 대한 적용성이 좋아 말뚝지지 전면기초의 해석 및 설계를 위한 실용적 목적에 잘 부합하는 성능을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다.
