Abstract

This paper describes the results for a numerical analysis of'single piles and pile oops in clayey soils subjected to monotonous lateral loading using the ABAQUS finite element software. The investigated variables in this study include free head and embedded capped single piles, pile diameter (1.0 m, 0.5 m), pile length (7.0 m, 10.0 m), and pile groups. The 1$\times$3 pile group was selected to investigate the individual pile and group lateral resistance, the distribution of the resistance among the piles, the effects of lateral stresses in front of and on the sides of the piles, and the effect of a cap on the lateral resistance of the leading pile. The soil was modeled using Cam-clay constitutive relationship and the pile was considered as a elastic circular concrete pile. The results show that the size of the cap influences lateral capacity of sin pile. The results also show in pile groups, the pile-soil-pile interaction and the cap effect the resistance in the leading pile, and the p-multiplier for the leading pile of greater than 1.0 was able to be obtained.

본 연구에서는 점토지반에서 수평력을 받는 군말뚝과 단말뚝의 수평저항력을 파악하기 위하여 유한요소 해석프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 수치해석을 행하였다. 수치해석은 말뚝직경(1.0, 0.5m), 말뚝길이(7, 10m) 그리고 두부조건(두부자유와 말뚝캡을 적용한 두부구속조건)을 변수로 하여 실시하였다. 수평력 작용시 선말뚝(leading pile)의 캡에 의한 영향과,군말뚝내의 각각의 말뚝에 대한수평저항력의 크기와 분포를 평가하기 위하여 1$\times$3 군말뚝을 사용하였다. 점토지반은 Cam-clay 모델을 사용하였고, 말뚝은 원형의 콘크러트로 탄성모델을 사용하여 3차원 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 말뚝캡의 크기는 단말뚝의 수평저항력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 군말뚝내의 선말뚝은 군말뚝의 효과에 의해 수평저항력이 증가하면서 Brown이 제안한p-multiplier 값이 1보다 크게 평가되었다.
