Abstract

A fundamental study of the dynamically penetrating anchor (DPA - colloquially known as torpedo anchor) embedded into deep seabed was conducted using measurement data and numerical approaches. Numerical simulation of such a structure penetration was often suffered by severe mesh distortion arising from very large soil deformation, complex contact condition and nonlinear soil behavior. In recent years, a Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method (CEL) has been used to solve geomechanical boundary value problems involving large deformations. In this study, 3D finite element analyses using the CEL formulation are carried out to simulate the construction process of dynamic anchors. Through comparisons with results of field measurements, the CEL method in the present study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in-situ measurements and thus, predicts a realistic large deformation movement for the dynamic anchors by free-fall dropping, which the conventional FE method cannot. Additionally, the appropriate parametric studies needed for verifying the characteristic of dynamic anchor are also discussed.

대수심 부유 구조물의 하부기초 기술 중 하나인 dynamically penetration anchor (DPA 또는 흔히 torpedo anchor로 칭함)의 거동특성을 시험결과 및 수치 해석적 접근을 통해 분석하였다. 기존의 유한요소 해석기법으로는 이러한 대수심 anchor 구조물의 거동 특성을 적절히 모사하기 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 부분을 해결하기 위해 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) 법을 통해 지반-구조물 사이에서 발생하는 메쉬(mesh)의 distortion 현상 및 경계조건 등의 문제점을 대변형의 관점에서 해결하고자 하였다. 실측치와의 비교를 통해, CEL 기법의 타당성을 검증하였고, 그 결과 본 연구에서 적용한 CEL 기법이 기존 유한요소 기술로는 구현이 불가능한 대수심 anchoring system의 자유낙하에 의한 전반적인 거동 및 지반의 변형특성을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 검증된 기법을 바탕으로 dynamic anchor의 거동에 영향을 주는 여러 요소들에 대한 매개변수 연구를 추가로 수행하였다.
