Abstract

Compressive axial behavior of the variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation is investigated from the field load test results at ○○ construction site in Incheon city. Variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation is a type of partial-displacement pile formed by mixing bidding material with in situ soils to obtain a rigid and strong variable cross-section column in a relatively soft ground. The foundations are usually constructed as a group; however in this study, only single foundation was installed and tested under compressive axial load on foundation head. For the comparison of the variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation axial behavior, behavior of typical Pretensioned spun high strength concrete (PHC) pile constructed on a relatively soft ground near the surface was analyzed. It was concluded that variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation efficiently resists against axial load with sufficient stiffness and strength within a considerable range of axial load magnitude.

인천 ○○지역의 연약지반에 시공된 변단면 연약지반보강기초(Variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation)의 연직압축거동을 분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 원지반과 고화재를 혼합교반하여 형성되는 고형체의 높은 강성과 강도를 이용하여 상부구조물로부터 유발되는 연약하중을 효과적으로 저항하기 위하여 시공된다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 군말뚝 형식으로 시공이 되는데, 정확한 연직거동을 알기 위하여 1개소의 기초에 대한 연직재하시험을 수행하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초의 거동을 일반적인 깊은 기초의 거동과 비교하기 위하여 유사한 천층지반조건에 시공된 PHC 파일의 재하시험 결과와 비교하여 재하하중에 따른 침하량 및 하중전이 거동특성을 분석하였다. 연직재하시험결과를 비교분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 제한된 범위의 연직하중에 대하여 천층에서도 효율적으로 저항하는 것으로 분석되었다.
