Abstract

Performance improvement of helical piles in static load tests using hexagon joints that do not require welding or bolting was investigated. Two sites were selected for pile field tests to evaluate their bearing capacity. Static and pull-out load tests were undertaken to assess the method for estimating bearing capacity. The field tests indicated that the bearing capacity of the gravity grout pile was ≥600 kN in the static load test, consistent with the AC 358 Code. The non-grout pile had a bearing capacity of ≤600 kN, suggesting that gravity grouting is required. Field pile load-test results were used to establish the bearing capacity equation, based on a small number of helical pile.

본 연구는 회전관입말뚝의 이음부를 용접이나 볼트가 필요 없는 육각형 이음부로 개선하여 압축재하시험을 수행하였다. 또한 인발시험의 경우 기존 방법과 유사하게 볼트체결 방법으로 적용하여 인발시험을 수행하였다. 회전관입말뚝의 지지력을 평가하기 위해 현장시험 2지역을 선정하였다. 하중재하시험은 정재하시험과 인발시험을 수행하였으며 회전관입말뚝에 대한 지지력을 평가하였다. 현장시험결과, 정재하시험시 중력식 그라우트를 적용한 말뚝에서 AC 358 Code에 따른 지지력평가 결과 600 kN 이상으로 나타났으며, 그라우트가 없는 말뚝에서는 600 kN 이하의 지지력을 보여 중력 그라우팅이 필요함을 확인하였다. 또한 현장시험결과를 고려하여 지지력을 평가하였으며, 적은 표본에 의해서 도출된 결과로 추후 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
