Abstract

Crib wall is one of the segmental grid retaining walls using headers and stretchers to establish the framework of the wall. In this method, grids formed by the intersection of headers and stretchers are generally filled with the gravel to maintain the weight of the wall. Therefore, the construction can be carried out with higher speed and much economically when compared with the concrete retaining wall. Furthermore, it has high drain capacity, and environmentally friendly aspects also have been pointed out because the possibility of the planting at the front of the wall. However, in the wooden crib wall method, the relative movement between the individual headers and stretchers was generally recognized, and stress redistribution in the gravel filling was also observed when subjected to the external loading and self-weight of filling. In this study, it was analyzed fracture types and causes of wooden crib wall through detailed investigation and analysis of a large crib wall construction site. As a results, it occurred the damage in the members of 5.7% in a total of 2,315 locations and the damage of header occurred in the members of a header 80.2%. The 65.7% of the damaged header are concentrated in the lower part of crib wall. Therefore, it was analyzed the differences of fracture types and causes of wooden crib wall depending on the installation position and the kinds of members. It is considered basically the members of various forms of distortion and the grain affecting.

Crib wall은 헤더와 스트레처를 사용하여 옹벽의 골조를 축조하는 격자형 조립식 옹벽공법의 일종이다. 이 공법에서는 부재의 교차에 의해 생긴 격자 안에 자갈로 채움을 실시하여 옹벽의 중력을 유지하게 된다. 따라서 일반 옹벽에 비해 시공속도가 빠르며 경제적이다. 더불어, 옹벽의 배수 능력이 뛰어나며 전면에 식생이 가능하다는 점을 들어 환경친화적인 장점도 강조되어 왔다. 그러나 목재 Crib wall 시스템에서는 개별 부재 사이의 상대적인 움직임을 허용하며 채움재의 자중이나 외부하중에 의해 채움재에 응력 재분포가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 목재옹벽 시공현장에 대한 세부조사와 해석을 통하여 목재 crib wall의 파괴유형과 파괴원인을 분석하였다. 조사결과 전체 부재의 5.7%인 총 2,315개소에서 손상이 발생되었으며, 파손된 부재 중 80.2%가 헤더에서 발생하였고 파손된 헤더 중 65.7%가 하단부에 집중되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 부재의 종류나 설치 위치에 따라 파괴유형 및 원인이 상이한 것으로 분석되었고, 근본적으로 부재의 뒤틀림과 나뭇결이 다양한 형태로 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
