Abstract

The behavior of laterally cyclic loaded piles is different from that of piles under monotonic loading and depends on soil and load characteristics. In this study, model pile load tests were performed using a calibration chamber to investigate the effects of load characteristics on the behavior of laterally cyclic loaded piles in sand. Results of the model tests show that the ultimate lateral load capacity of laterally cyclic loaded piles decreases linearly with increasing the number of cycles and increases slightly with increasing the magnitude of cyclic lateral loads. When the piles reach the ultimate state, the maximum bending moment developed in the piles decreases linearly with increasing the number of cycles and it occurs at a depth of 0.36 times pile embedded length for all the number of cycles. However, both the magnitude and depth of the maximum bending moment of piles in the ultimate state increase slightly as the magnitude of cyclic lateral loads increases. It is also observed that the cyclic lateral loading generates a decrease in the ultimate lateral load capacity and maximum bending moment for piles in the ultimate state. In addition, based on the model test results, a new empirical equation for the ultimate lateral load capacity of laterally cyclic loaded piles in dense sand is also proposed. A comparison between predicted and measured load capacities shows that the proposed equation reflects satisfactorily the model test results.

반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 거동은 정적하중을 받는 경우와 다르며, 지반 및 하중특성에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 모래지반에서 반복하중특성이 말뚝의 수평거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 가압토조를 이용한 모형말뚝 재하시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 극한수평지지력은 하중의 반복재하횟수가 많아질수록 선형적으로 감소하였고 수평하중의 크기가 커질수록 조금씩 증가하였다. 그리고 수평하중의 반복재하횟수가 증가할수록 극한상태에서 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트는 감소했으나 그 발생위치는 말뚝 근입길이의 0.36배 되는 곳으로 일정하였다. 반면 반복수평하중의 크기가 증가하면 극한상태에서 말뚝의 최대 휨모멘트와 그 발생위치가 조금씩 증가하였으며, 반복수평하중은 정적하중에 비해 말뚝의 극한수평지지력과 극한상태에서 말뚝의 최대 휨모멘트를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 모형실험결과에 근거해서 조밀한 모래지반에서 반복수평하중을 받는 말뚝의 극한수평지지력을 산정할 수 있는 지지력산정식을 제안하였으며, 제안식으로부터 얻은 계산치를 실험치와 비교한 결과 제안식은 모형실험의 결과를 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다.
