Abstract

Generally, the retaining wall is becoming unstable as the height is higher. On the other hand, the retaining wall with the relieving platform is more stable and more economical than any other type of retaining wall, because the relieving platform the reduce the lateral earth pressure. In this study, numerical analyses were carried out for 15 cases varying with the type of retaining wall, length and location of the relieving platform and the backfill type. From the numerical analyses, the reduction of the lateral earth pressure was checked and the results of numerical analyses were compared with that of model tests and theoretical equations. As the results of this study, the lateral earth pressure of the retaining wall with the relieving platform is considerably less than that of cantilever wall. And the of magnitude of the lateral earth pressure is affected by the length and location of relieving platform and the backfill type.

일반적으로 옹벽은 높이가 높아질수록 안정성이 작아진다. 하지만 선반식 옹벽은 선반 설치로 인하여 옹벽에 작용하는 수평토압의 크기가 감소하기 때문에 다른 옹벽과 비교하면 안정성 및 경제성에서 우수하다고 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존에 연구된 선반식 옹벽의 수치해석 연구에서와는 다르게 옹벽의 종류, 선반의 길이, 선반의 위치 등의 조건을 변화시켜 총 15가지의 해석 조건으로 수치해석을 실시하였다. 수치해석을 통해 얻은 결과를 비교하여 선반식 옹벽의 수평토압 감소효과를 확인하였고, 또한 모형시험의 결과와 이론해를 동시에 비교하여 수평토압의 감소효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과 선반식 옹벽은 캔틸레버식 옹벽에 비해 수평토압 감소효과가 뚜렷한 것으로 나타났고, 선반의 위치, 선반의 길이 등에 따라 수평토압의 크기가 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
