Abstract

Deep foundations have been popularly installed in hard stratum such as gravels or rocks in Korea. However, it is necessary to consider sand or sandy gravel layers that locate at the mid-depths as the bearing stratum of piles in the thick Nakdong River deltaic deposits, as done in the Chaophraya (Bangkok) and Mississippi River deltas. This study was focused on the finding of suitable methods for estimating bearing capacity when driving prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) piles to a required depth in the deltaic area. Ground investigation was performed at five locations of two sites in the deltaic area. Bearing capacity of the driven piles has been computed using a number of proposed methods such as CPT-based and other analytical methods, based on the ground investigation and comparison one another other. Five PDA (pile driving analyzer) tests were systematically carried out at the whole depths of embedded piles, which is a well-blown useful technique for the purposes. As the results, the bearing capacities calculated by various methods were compared with the PDA and static load testing results. It was found that the shaft resistance is significantly governed by set-up effects and then the long-term value agrees well with that of the $\beta$ method. Also, the design methods for toe resistance were determined based on the SLT result, rather than PDA results that led to underestimation. Moreover, using the CPT results, appropriate methods were proposed for calculating the bearing capacity of the piles in the area.

우리나라에서는 암반 및 자갈층과 같은 단단한 층 내에 깊은 기초를 매입하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 Chaophraya(Bangkok)와 Mississippi강 삼각주에서 실시되고 있는 것과 같이, 대심도 낙동강 삼각주 퇴적토에서도 말뚝의 지지층으로써 중간 깊이에 위치하는 모래 및 모래질 자갈층을 고려할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 이 지역에서 PHC 말뚝을 요구하는 깊이까지 항타할 때, 말뚝의 지지력을 위한 적절한 평가법을 찾고자 하였다. 지반조사는 두 현장의 5개소에서 실시되었다. 말뚝의 지지력은 지반조사 결과를 이용하고 CPT에 근거한 평가법과 여러 다른 해석법을 적용하여 계산되었으며, 상호 비교가 이루어 졌다. 항타된 5개의 말뚝에 대해 매입된 전 깊이에 걸쳐 잘 알려진 PDA시험이 체계적으로 수행되었다. 여러 평가법에 의하여 계산된 지지력은 PDA 및 정재하 시험결과와 함께 비교되었다. 그 결과, 주면마찰력은 set-up 효과에 따라 지배적으로 영향을 받으며, 장시간 경과 후에는 $\beta$법에 의한 결과와 좋은 일치를 보였다. 선단 지지력은 과소평가되는 PDA시험 보다는 정재하시험결과에 근거하여 적절한 평가법을 선정하였다. 최종적으로, CPT결과를 이용하여 이 지역에 적합한 지지력의 평가법을 도출하였다.
