Abstract

In the present study, a method of quasi-three dimensional stability analysis is proposed for a systematic design of the GRS-RW(Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Retaining Wall) system based on the postulated three dimensional failure wedge. The proposed method could be applied to the analysis of the stability of both the straight-line and cove-shaped are. As with skew reinforcements. Maximum earth thrust expected to act on the rigid face wall is assumed to distribute along the depth, and wall displacements are predicted based on both the assumed compaction-induced earth pressures and one dimensional finite element method of analysis. For a verification of the procedure proposed in the present study, the predicted wall displacements are compared with chose obtained from the RMC tests in Canada and the FHWA tests in U.S.A. In these comparisons the wall displacements estimated by the methods of Christopher et at. and Chew & Mitchell are also included for further verification. Also, the predicted wall displacements for the convex-shaped zone reinforced with skew reinforcements are compared with those by $FLAC_{3D}$ program analyses. The assumed compaction-induced earth pressures evaluated on the basic of the proposed method of analysis are further compared with the measurements by the FHWA best wall. A parametric stduy is finally performed to investigate the effects of various design parameters for the stability of the GRS-RW system

본 연구에서는, GRS-RW 보강토벽체 공법에 대한 안정해석법의 체계화를 위해 3차원 예상파괴 흙쐐기를 가정하여, 직선부구간 뿐만 아니라 특히 편기각 보강재가 설치되는 곡선부 구간에 대해 적용 가능한 준3차원 안정성 평가기법의 제시가 이루어졌다. 아울러, 본 연구 제시 안정해석법에 의해 평가되는 작용토압합력을 다짐토압 분포형태로 가정하여, 1차원 유한요소해석을 이용한 전면 벽체의 변위예측기법을 제시하였다. 또한 제시된 전면벽체 변위예측기법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해, 캐나다의 RMC 및 미국의 FHWA에서 시행한 시험결과와 본 연구 제시기법에 의한 예측치를 서로 비교하였으며, 본 비교에는 기존의 보강토벽체 발생변위 평가방법인 Christopher등의 방법 및 Chew & Mitchell의 방법 등을 토대로 한 예측치도 추가 검토상의 목적으로 포함하였다. 또한 편기각 보강재가 설치되는 볼록형태 곡선부 구간에 대해서, 본 연구 예측치와 $FLAC_{3D}$프로그램 해석결 과와의 비교를 퉁해, 본 연구 변위예측기법의 신뢰성 검증이 추가로 이루어졌다. 이외에도, 본 연 구 제시 안정해석 법에 의해 평가되는 전면벽체의 작용토압합력을 깊이별 다짐토압 분포형태로 가정한 기법의 타당성 확인을 위해, FHWA에서 제시한 발생토압 측정결과와 서로 비교하였다. 아울러 다양한 관련 설계변수가 GRS-RW 보강토벽체의 안정성에 미치는 영향등을 분석하였다.
