Abstract

In former times, It is obvious that the earth retaining cantilever wall using stabilizing piles is definitely superior to the other methods due to economical efficiency and the efficiency of construction through model tests using a soil tank and practical application(Kim, 2006). However, this method was not proved in theoretical basis from the viewpoint of geotechnical engineering. Accordingly, a variety of model experiments in order to analyze the behavior of the earth retaining cantilever wall and stabilizing piles according to excavation step and earth pressure and stress acting on stabilizing piles according to excavation step were performed. On the basis of analyzing the result of model tests using a soil tank, this study suggests failure mechanism of clods and a method calculating virtual supported point. In addition, this study contributes to developing the analyzing method of retaining piles, stabilizing piles and beams connecting two piles and, this study helps this method to be established as a new design method through analyzing the results of model tests using a soil tank.
