Abstract

It's essential to build an earth retaining structure at the beginning and end point of a tunnel constructed in a colluvium area. A large scale of colluvial soil may cause a problem to the stability of the excavation ground. An excavation in colluvium has different behavior characteristics from those in a sandy soil due to unstable elements and needs counter measures for it. There are few systematic research efforts on the behavior characteristics of an earth retaining structure installed in colluvial soil. Thus this study set out to collect measuring data from an excavation site at the tunnel pit mouth in colluvium and set quantitative criteria for the safety of an earth retaining structure. After comparing and analyzing the theoretical and empirical earth pressure from the measuring data, the lateral earth pressure distribution acted on the earth retaining wall was suggested.

붕적층에 시공되는 터널의 시 종점부 갱문은 흙막이가시설이 필요하다. 대규모의 붕적층은 굴착지반의 안정성에 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 붕적층에서 굴착은 사질토에서 굴착과는 다른 거동특성을 보이며, 사질토지반에 비해 불안정한 요소를 가지고 있어 이에 대한 대처방안이 필요하다. 그러나 붕적토에 시공되는 흙막이구조물의 거동특성에 대한 연구는 미진한 상태이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 붕적층에 터널갱구부가 위치한 굴착현장으로부터 계측자료를 수집하여 흙막이 구조물의 안정성을 판단할 수 있는 정량적인 기준을 마련하고자 한다. 그리고 계측자료를 활용하여 이론토압과 경험토압을 비교 분석한 후 흙막이벽체에 작용하는 측방토압분포를 제한하였다.
