Abstract

Micropiles are cast-in-place-type piles with small diameters. They are widely used for the foundation reinforcement of existing buildings and structures because this technique is easy to construct and economic. A base expansion structure is developed following the mechanism of radial expansion at the pile tip under compression. Numerical analysis, durability tests, and centrifuge tests have been conducted using the base expansion structure. In this study, three-dimensional numerical modeling was performed to describe the behavioral mechanism of the base expansion structure using steel bar penetration under compressive loading, and numerical analyses using centrifuge test conditions were performed for the comparative studies. Additionally, the base structure was modified based on the results of lab-scale analyses, and the bearing capacities of micropiles were compared using field-scale numerical analyses under various ground conditions.

마이크로파일은 소구경 현장타설말뚝으로, 시공방법이 간단하고 공사비용이 상대적으로 저렴하여 건축물을 비롯한 각종 구조물의 보수보강 및 증축 시 기초보강 등에 활용되고 있다. 시공이 용이하고 간단한 메커니즘의 구조체를 선단에 장착하여 지지력을 증대시키는 선단 확장형 마이크로파일이 개발되었으며, 이에 대한 수치해석, 내구성시험, 원심모형시험 등의 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는, 기존에 수행된 수치모델링을 고도화하여 연직하중 재하에 의해 연결강봉 근입 시 고정 지압구가 활착되는 거동 메커니즘을 확인하고, 원심모형실험과 동일한 조건에서의 수치해석을 수행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한, Lab-scale 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 고정 지압구의 형상 개선안을 도출하고, Field-scale 수치해석을 통해 일반 마이크로파일 대비 지지력 증대효과를 비교·검증하였다.
