The behavior of the soil subgrade is complex and irregular against loads. When modeling, the soil is often replaced by a more straightforward system called a subgrade model. The Winkler method of linear elastic springs is a popular method of soil modeling in which the spring constant shows the modulus of subgrade reaction. In this research, the factors affecting the distribution of the modulus of subgrade reaction of elastoplastic subgrades are examined. For this purpose, critical theories about the modulus of subgrade reaction were examined. A square raft foundation on a sandy soil subgrade with was analyzed at different internal friction angles and Young's modulus values using ABAQUS software. To accurately model the actual soil behavior, the elastic, perfectly plastic constitutive model was applied to investigate a foundation on discrete springs. In order to increase the accuracy of soil modeling, equations have been proposed for the distribution of the subgrade reaction modulus. The constitutive model of the springs is elastic, perfectly plastic. It was observed that the modulus of subgrade reaction under an elastic load decreased when moving from the corner to the center of the foundation. For the ultimate load, the modulus of subgrade reaction increased as it moved from the corner to the center of the foundation.

Steel casing used to keep a borehole wall in the construction of drilled shaft increases the vertical and lateral stiffness and strength of pile, but it is usually pulled out or ignored due to the absence of standard or the problem of erosion of steel casing. In order to make use of steel casing as a permanent structure, this study carried out an experimental work for the steel-concrete composite pile. Four types of piles were used to estimate the lateral behavior of piles, which are reinforced concrete pile, steel pile and steel-concrete composite pile with and without reinforcing bar. The subgrade-reaction spring system was developed to simulate the lateral stiffness of soil in laboratory. Also, the composite loading system which can apply the axial and lateral load simultaneously was employed.

This study proposes a simple method that uses a simple mass-spring model to predict the natural frequency of a soil-pile-structure system in sandy soil. This model includes a pair of matrixes, i.e., a mass matrix and a stiffness matrix. The mass matrix is comprised of the masses of the pile and superstructure, and the stiffness matrix is comprised of the stiffness of the pile and the spring coefficients between the pile and soil. The key issue in the evaluation of the natural frequency of a soil-pile system is the determination of the spring coefficient between the pile and soil. To determine the reasonable spring coefficient, subgrade reaction modulus, nonlinear p-y curves and elastic modulus of the soil were utilized. The location of the spring was also varied with consideration of the infinite depth of the pile. The natural frequencies calculated by using the mass-spring model were compared with those obtained from 1-g shaking table model pile tests. The comparison showed that the calculated natural frequencies match well with the results of the 1-g shaking table tests within the range of computational error when the three springs, whose coefficients were calculated using Reese's(1974) subgrade reaction modulus and Yang's (2009) dynamic p-y backbone curves, were located above the infinite depth of the pile.

말뚝 구조물의 동적 거동을 분석하고 지진파에 대한 공진 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 고유 진동수를 합리적으로 산정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 질량 - 스프링 모델을 이용하여 지진 하중을 받는 말뚝 구조물의 고유 진동수를 간편하면서도 효율적으로 예측할 수 있는 방법을 모색하였다. 고유진동수 산정 결과에 큰 영향을 미치는 지반-말뚝 간 스프링 강성을 지반반력상수와 p-y 곡선 그리고 지반 탄성계수 등을 이용하여 결정하고, 이들을 이용하여 계산한 고유진동수를 1g 진동대 실험에서 계측한 고유진동수와 비교한 결과, 지반반력상수를 이용한 Reese(1974) 방법과 동적 p-y 중추 곡선을 이용한 Yang(2009)의 방법을 이용하여 스프링 강성을 산정하는 것이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었는데, 건조토에 위치한 말뚝구조물에서는 5% 이내의 오차를 보였으며, 포화토에 위치한 말뚝 구조물의 경우에는 진동 중에 과잉간극수압의 발생여부에 따라 5%에서 40% 사이의 오차를 나타내었다.

현재 국내에서는 부유식 구조물을 이용하여 소각로 및 담수화 공장을 해상에 축조하는 BMP(Barge Mounted Plant) 시스템에 관한 연구를 수행중에 있다(한국기계연구원 1997). 본 논문에서는 이러한 BMP의 계류 돌핀(mooring dolphin) 구조물하부의 말뚝기초의 거동을 모델하는 기법에 관하여 다루었다. 지반-말뚝계의 축하중 및 횡하중에 대한 거동은 지반을 비선형 스프링으로 모델하고 말뚝을 일축부재 및 보로 모델하여 유한차분적으로 해를 구하는 비선형 지반반력해석을 수행한다. 이러한 말뚝두부에서의 하중-변위관계로부터 지반-말뚝계의 등가강성을 산정할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 거제도 주변 해역을 대상으로 지반조사를 수행하였고 이를 토대로 지반의 깊이에 따른 축방향 및 횡방향 하중전이 관계를 도출하였다. 그리고 돌핀하부의 말뚝에 대하여 축하중 및 횡하중에 대한 지반반력해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 해석과정을 통하여 대상지역에 적합한 말뚝의 관입깊이 및 단면을 합리적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 결국 말뚝두부에서의 하중-변위관계로부터 지반-말뚝계의 강성을 모델함으로써, 지반조건을 고려하여 돌핀구조물의 동적해석을 합리적으로 수행할 수 있었다. 해석결과 지반-말뚝계의 강성을 고려할 경우에는 강체로 고려한 경우에 비하여 변위 진폭이 상당히 크게 나타났다. 그리고 돌핀의 케이싱 상부의 모멘트가 더 크게 나타나고 해저지표 말뚝두부에 전달되는 모멘트는 더 작게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Analysis of supported excavation system by Elasto-Plastic Isoparametric Finite Element Method and Elasto-Plastic Beam Method have been conducted for the simulation of stepwise underground excavation. Conventional methods, fixed Supported Beam and Spring Supported Beam method, also have been examined and compared with the results of elasto-plastic beam method and field data. Except unavoidable result of upward ground settlement near the top of retaining wall and relatively high bending moment of wall at each excavation level, satisfactory results have been derived using elasto-plastic isopara metric finite element method. The results from elasto-plastic beam analysis program, developed by the author, are proved to be fit field data in acceptable variance as shown in the paper. Displacement and bending moment, of the wall by conventional methods, both fixed supported beam and spring supported beam, are always underestimated than field data, and attention must be given that the diffence increases with deeper excavation depth and lower horizontal subgrade reaction of the ground.

In this paper, the dynamic analysis of a dolphin system for mooring a floating structure such as barge mounted plant is studied. The characteristics of the soil-pile system are simplified by a set of equivalent spring elements at the mudline. To evaluate the equivalent spring constants, the finite difference method is used. Since the characteristics of the soil-pile system are nonlinear in case of soft foundation, the nonlinear dynamic analysis technique is needed. The Newmark $beta$ method incorporating the modified Newton-Raphson method(initial stiffness method) is used. A numerical analysis is performed on two mooring dolphin systems on soft foundation and rock foundation. In case of the rock foundation, the characteristics are found to be nearly linear, so the linear dynamic analysis may be sufficient to consider the foundation effect. But in case of soft foundation, the non-linearity of the foundation appears to be very signigicant, so the nonlinear dynamic analysis si needed.

The paper presents the analysis of two groups of piles subjected to lateral loads incorporating the non-linear behaviour of soil. The finite element method is adopted for carrying out the parametric study of the pile groups. The pile is idealized as a one dimensional beam element, the pile cap as two dimensional plate elements and the soil as non-linear elastic springs using the p-y curves developed by Georgiadis et al. (1992). Two groups of piles, embedded in a cohesive soil, involving two and three piles in series and parallel arrangement thereof are considered. The response of the pile groups is found to be significantly affected by the parameters such as the spacing between the piles, the number of piles in a group and the orientation of the lateral load. The non-linear response of the system is, further, compared with the one by Chore et al. (2012) obtained by the analysis of a system to the present one, except that the soil is assumed to be linear elastic. From the comparison, it is observed that the non-linearity of soil is found to increase the top displacement of the pile group in the range of 66.4%-145.6%, while decreasing the fixed moments in the range of 2% to 20% and the positive moments in the range of 54% to 57%.
