Stability Analysis of Excavation Slope on Soft Ground

연약지반 굴착사면의 안정해석

To investigate the stability problem of irrigation-drainage channel excavation slope on soft ground, analyzed the behavior of the soft ground with excavation slope by the limit equilibrium method and the finite element method, and compared with field tests. The results of this study were summarized as follows; 1. When rapid drawdown the water level, the crack was occurred by the effect of the excess pore water pressure, and the pore water pressure was decreased slowly. 2. As the width of excavation was larger, the crack width was larger. And, excavated depth was deeper, the progressive failure was appeared. 3. When the soft ground excavation was small-scale, the minimum safety factor was more effected by cohesion(1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) than excavated slope inclination(1:l, 1:1.5, 1:2). 4. As excavation was progressed, the settlement occurred on the top-slope due to plastic domain, and heaving was occurred at the bottom of excavation. 5. The maximum shear stress was appeared greatly as the base part of slope went down. Because of the increase of the maximum shear stress, tension area occurred and local failure possibility was increased. 6. As the excavation depth was increased, the maximum shear strain was appeared greatly at the base of slope and distribution pattern was concentrated beneath the middle of slope.

연약지반상에 시공되는 용 배수로 굴착사면의 안정문제를 구명하기 위하여 굴착사면의 경사에 따른 지반의 거동을 한계평형법 및 유한요소법에 의하여 해석하고 실제 현장실험과 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 수로에서 수위를 급강하시켰을 때 과잉공극수압의 영향으로 균열이 발생하였고, 그 이후에 공극수압의 감소는 완만하게 나타났다. 2. 연직굴착시는 굴착폭이 클수록 균열의 폭도 커지고, 굴착깊이가 깊어지면서 진행성 파괴형태를 나타냈다. 3. 연약지반에서 소규모의 굴착공사를 할 때 최소안전율은 굴착사면의 경사(1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2)보다는 점착력(1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, $3.0t/m^2$)에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 굴착이 진행되면서 소성영역이 발달하는 상부사면에서는 침하가 발생하였으며, 굴착저면에서는 히빙현상이 나타났다. 5. 최대전단응력은 저부지반으로 갈수록 크게 나타났으며, 이와같은 현상은 인장영역을 발생시켜서 국부적인 파괴 가능성을 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다. 6. 최대전단변형은 굴착깊이에 따라 증가하며, 굴착저면에서 가장 큰값을 나타내고 굴착사면의 중앙저부에 집중되는 분포형태를 나타냈다.
