Abstract

This study selected the indexes for evaluating the damage of the railway embankments due to liquefaction from the earthquake damage cases of railway embankments. The study correlated the selected indexes and the settlement of the embankment crest from the dynamic numerical analysis. Further, the correlation was used to develop a method for evaluating the liquefaction damage to the railway embankment. The damage cases and damage types were analyzed, and referring to the liquefaction damage assessment method for other structures, the embankment height (H), the non-liquefiable layer thickness (H1), and the liquefaction potential index were selected as indexes for evaluating the damage. The study performed dynamic effective stress analyses on the railway embankment, and the PM4-Sand model was applied as the constitutive liquefaction model for the embankment foundation ground. The model's validity was first verified by comparing it with the existing dynamic centrifugal model test results performed on the railway embankment. Nine sites where the foundation ground can be liquefied were selected from the data of 549 embankments of the Honam High-speed Railway in Korea. Further, dynamic numerical analyses using four seismic waves as input earthquake load were performed for the selected site sections. The numerical analysis results confirmed the correlation between the evaluation indexes and the embankment crest settlement. A method for efficiently evaluating the damage to the embankment due to liquefaction was proposed using the chart obtained from this correlation.

본 연구의 목적은 철도제방의 액상화 피해와 관련된 연구결과로부터 철도제방의 액상화에 따른 피해도 평가지표를 선정하고, 동적수치해석으로부터 선정된 지표와 제방 마루침하량과의 상관관계를 확인하고, 이러한 상관관계를 이용하여 철도제방의 액상화 피해도 평가기법을 개발하는 것이다. 액상화로 인한 철도제방의 피해사례 및 피해유형을 분석하고, 다른 구조물의 액상화 피해평가법을 참고하여, 제방높이(H), 비액상화층두께(H1), 액상화가능지수(LPI)를 철도제방의 액상화 피해도 평가지표로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서 철도제방에 대한 동적유효응력해석을 위한 기초지반의 액상화 구성모델은 PM4-Sand model을 적용하였다. 해당 구성모델은 철도제방에 대하여 수행된 기존의 동적원심모형실험 결과와의 비교로부터 모델의 실효성이 우선 검증되었다. 국내 호남고속철도 제방 549개소 기초지반 자료 중 액상화 발생이 가능한 9개 부지를 선정하고, 선정 부지 철도제방 단면에 대해 2가지 크기 수준의 2가지 지진파, 즉, 총 4개의 지진파를 입력하중으로 하는 동적수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 선정된 평가지표들과 제방 마루침하량과의 상관성을 확인하였고, 이러한 상관성을 이용하여 작성한 도표를 이용하여 철도제방의 액상화 피해도를 간편하게 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.
