Çalışma, kohezyonsuz zeminde CPT tabanlı kazık nihai taşıma kapasitesi hesabı için rastgele alan teorisine dayalı bir yöntem oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Koni uç direnci (qc), sabit alınan ortalama ve farklı değişme katsayısı (COV) değerleri ile boşluksal değişken olarak tanımlanmıştır. Rastgele alan ile CPT profilleri benzeştirilmiş ve tekil kazığın nihai kapasitesi (Qu) bu simule edilen profillerle hesaplanmıştır. qc’deki değişimin Qu değerlerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Önerilen yöntem son olarak, gerçek CPT veri tabanı ile ve simule CPT profilleri ile hesaplanan sonuçların karşılaştırılması ile doğrulanmıştır. Edinilen sonuçlar CPT tabanlı kazık kapasite hesaplarında, düşey dalgalanma ölçeğinin kritik değerinin bir kazık çapı kadar olduğunu (dv=1D), ve yöntemin nihai kazık kapasitesini rastgele alan ile etkili bir şekilde tahmin ettiğini göstermiştir. Doğrulanan yöntem özellikle belirsizlik hesabı yapılması gerekli olan ancak yeterli sahaya özel verinin bulunmadığı durumlar için önerilmektedir. Çalışmanın literatüre, CPT tabanlı kazık kapasitesi yöntemlerine pratik bir çerçeve ile belirsizlik analizi eklemeyerek katkı sağlaması amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca önerilen yöntemin, kısıtlı veri bulunması durumlarında kazık tasarımını kolaylaştırması hedeflenmiştir.

Calculation of Pile Capacity in Cohesionless Soil by CPT Considering Spatial Variability

Öz

The study aims to construct a framework for CPT based ultimate pile capacity calculation for cohesionless soils with random field theory. Cone tip resistance (qc) was taken as the spatially varying parameter with a constant mean and changing coefficients of variation. CPT profiles were simulated with random field generations, and the ultimate capacity of a single pile (Qu) was calculated with these simulations. The influence of spatial variation of qc on the variation of Qu was investigated. The proposed framework was finally verified by comparing the results of an actual CPT database and the simulated CPT profiles in the study. The results showed that the critical vertical scale of fluctuation for CPT-based pile capacity calculations was equal to one diameter of pile (dv=1D), and that the method effectively predicted the ultimate pile capacity through simulated CPT profiles with random field. The proposed method is especially recommended for cases where the uncertainty consideration is necessary, yet the site-specific data is limited. The study aims to contribute a simple framework to the methods of CPT-based pile capacity with unceratinty consideration. The propesed method aims to facilitate the pile design framework with limited available data.
