Abstract

In most cases, Geotechnical Structures installed in freezing areas require extra countermeasures for reducing freeze damage. However, in terms of domestic tunnels, studies and case reports for geotechnical structures such as tunnels and retaining walls are not fluently carried out, causing lack of research about ways to decrease freeze damage. For these causes, domestic design criteria about structures does not specifically institutionalization for geotechnical structures. This research have done on-site investigation about tunnels, cut slopes and retaining walls. Also, this research includes the process of analyzing the histories of maintenance for class 1 and class 2 structures that happened in the past 40 years, studying characteristics of structure's maintenance and reinforcement in different areas with different climate. As the result, it was analyzed that domestic geotechnical structures showed need for longer maintenance and reinforcement that are located in Gangwon mountain area, Gangwon north region and Gyeonggi north region where the temperature is relatively low. This research can be concluded in need for revision of design criteria for structures located in freeze damage area.

일반적으로 동결대상지역에 설치되는 지반구조물은 동결피해에 대한 별도의 대책을 필요로 한다. 그러나 국내의 경우 터널, 옹벽 등과 같은 지반구조물에 대한 동결피해 조사 및 사례보고가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있어, 이를 저감시키기 위한 연구는 매우 미미한 실정이다. 이러한 이유로 국내의 구조물 관련 설계기준도 특별하게 이를 규정화하고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 터널, 비탈면, 옹벽의 동결피해에 대한 현장조사 및 1종, 2종 시설물에 대한 약 40여 년간의 지반구조물 유지관리 이력을 분석하여 구조물 설치지역의 기온에 따른 구조물의 유지관리 특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 우리나라에서 동결깊이가 약 120cm 이상이고, 기온이 비교적 낮은 강원 산간지역 및 강원 북부, 경기 북부지역의 지반구조물은 기온이 비교적 따뜻한 타 지역과 달리 훨씬 더 오랫동안 보수보강을 필요로 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이로부터 국내 동결피해 대상지역에 설치되는 구조물에 대한 설계기준 개정의 필요성을 제안하였다.
