Abstract

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on the behavior of a geosynthetic reinforced two-tier segmental retaining wall (GR-SRW) on a yielding foundation. A hypothetical 10 m high two tier GR-SRW to be constructed on an incompetent foundation containing a layer of relative soft soil deposit was considered. A verified finite-element procedure was employed to get insights into the effect of foundation yielding on the wall behavior including the wall deformation and the reinforcement load. It is shown that the effect of foundation yielding is to increase the wall deformation as well as the reinforcement load, thus influencing both the internal as well as the external stability of the wall. Practical implications of the findings obtained from this study are highlighted in this paper.

본 논문에서는 압축성이 큰 지반 위에 시공되는 지오그리드 보강 계단형 블록식 보강토 옹벽의 거동 특성에 관한 내용을 다루었다. 대상옹벽으로는 2단으로 시공되는 높이 lOrn의 블록식 보강토 옹벽을 고려하였으며 압축성이 큰 지반위에 시공되는 경우를 고려하였다. 본 연구는 검증된 유한요소해석 모델을 사용하여 수행되었으며 기초지반의 침하가 옹벽의 변위 및 보강재 유발 인장력에 미치는 영향을 집중적으로 다루었다. 연구결과 시공중 발생하는 기초지반의 과다 침하는 옹벽의 변위 뿐 아니라 보강재 유발 인장력 또한 현저히 증가시켜 내·외적 안정성에 지대한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 연구결과와 아울러 실무적 관점에서의 고려사항 을 기술하였다.
