Abstract

In this paper, large scale experimental model tests were performed to investigate the distribution of earth pressure acting on embedded rigid pipes having different bedding conditions. For these tests, very light weighted EPS blocks were installed at top and bottom of the rigid pipe and Jumunjin Standard Sand was used as a ground material. As results of model tests, for the case of no bedding on the pipe, the measured pressure at the bottom of the pipe was $4.96_{tf/m^2}$ whereas they were in the range of $1.87{\sim}4.96_{tf/m^2}$ in the case of EPS beddings being installed at the top and the bottom of the pipe. Therefore, for the case of EPS bedding being installed, the ratio of reduced pressures acting on the pipe, compared with the case of no EPS beddings, were in the rage of 16~62%. As a result of parametric test with changing the locations of EPS bedding, the trend of reducing the stress acting on the pipe was in the order of bottom bedding, top bedding, and top and bottom bedding. Effect of bedding positions on the reduced magnitude of acting pressure on the pipe was more significant in the case of top bedding than in the case of the bottom bedding.

베딩조건에 따라 강성재질의 지중매설관 주변에 작용하는 토압분포와 크기를 조사하기 위하여 초경량재료인 EPS블록을 매설관의 상부 또는 하부에 여러 가지 조건으로 설치한 다음 주문진 표준사로 복토하여 토압과 침하량을 측정하는 원형의 대형토조시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 EPS 베딩재를 설치하지 않은 경우 매설관 바닥에서 측정된 토압은 $4.96_{tf/m^2}$ 으로 나타났으며 베딩재를 설치하는 경우 바닥에서 측정된 토압은 조건에 따라 $1.87{\sim}4.96_{tf/m^2}$으로 베딩재를 설치하지 않은 경우에 비하여 12~62% 가량 토압이 경감되는 것으로 나타났으며, 베딩재의 위치에 대한 매개변수적인 실험결과 베딩재를 하부-상부-상하부에 설치하는 순으로 경감효과가 크며 EPS 베딩재를 하부보다는 상부에 설치하는 경우 경감효과가 두드러지는 것으로 나타났다.
