강원도의 약 89%가 산지로 되어 있기 때문에 강원지역 주민의 거주지는 대부분 홍수 피해를 강하게 받는 계곡이나 하천변에 잡고 있으며 매년 반복되는 홍수의 피해 위험이 높다. 따라서 홍수 시 생활공간을 보호하기 위한 제방의 안전성을 확보하는 것은 강원도의 하천관리에서 가장 중요한 점이다. 호안공법은 일반적으로 하천의 생태계나 경관적인 측면에서 부정적인 경우가 많은 인공시설물이기 때문에 최근에는 자연과 어울리는 친자연형 호안공법을 추구한다. 본 연구는 강원도 내 1개 국가하천 6개 지점, 214개 지방하천 2,760개 지점에 대한 하천 호안공법의 종류, 식생상태, 하천특성, 호안파괴 특성 등을 조사하고 하천호안공법 적용 하천특성과 호안공법, 식생 등의 관계를 분석하여 강원도형 호안공법 개발의 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 강원도에 설치된 호안공법은 망태형, 붙임형, 블록형, 쌓기형, 옹벽형으로 구분할 수 있으며, 영동지역은 망태형 25%, 옹벽형 20.1.%, 블록형 18.3%를 차지하고 있으나 영서지역 하천은 쌓기형 32.9%, 망태형 19.2%, 옹벽형 16.6%를 나타내고 있다. 두 지역에서 옹벽이 16%이상을 차지하는 것은 하천경사가 급하고 만곡 수충부가 많아 홍수 시 구조적인 안정성이 큰 옹벽을 통한 호안보호에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 옹벽을 제외하면 하천평면이 호안공법 선택에 큰 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 보이며 오히려 하천경사나 하천재료 특성이 반영된 것으로 판단된다. 호안파괴의 원인은 홍수 시 하상의 세굴이다. 그러나 옹벽호안은 국부적인 하상세굴에도 콘크리트 구조특성으로 쉽게 파괴되지는 않는 것으로 판단된다. 보 하류지점에 설치된 돌망태 호안은 하상저하와 보에 의한 유향변동으로 발생된 강한 수충현상에 의해 파괴되는 것으로 조사되었다. 호안의 식생 활착은 블록형, 망태형, 쌓기형 호안의 순으로 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 망태형이나 쌓기형 호안은 영동지역보다는 영서지역에서 높은 식생 피복도를 나타냈으며, 이는 하천의 경사와 호안의 침수빈도와 관계가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 식생블록형 호안은 지역 구분 없이 식생피복도가 높고 하천경사나 재료특성에도 불구하고 강원도의 하천호안공법으로 우수한 기능을 한다. 시급히 식생을 도입하고자 하는 경우 식생블록형 호안이 추천되며 호안공의 안정성과 식생의 다양성 측면에서는 망태형 호안공법이 추천된다.

Assembled Earth Retaining wall (AER-wall is used here) using back pile (back supporting beam is used from here) has been developed at Pusan National University. Both cost and time have been significantly reduced because AER-wall can be fabricated in a shop. Also its stability has been improved with a back supporting beam reducing earth pressure. In this study, the test results were analyzed after laboratory model tests were performed. The lateral displacement of AER-wall significantly decreased with both inclined wall and back supporting beams. As a result, the stability of AER-wall and effect of back supporting beam have been analyzed and verified.

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 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. Therefore, it has been thought that the distribution of the earth pressure in the crib wall system differ from that of the concrete retaining wall. In this study, the surcharge tests using the scaled model crib wall was carried out to observe the distribution of the earth pressure in the segmental grid retaining wall. The earth pressure was measured in the six specified height of wall, and the distribution of the pressure was analyzed. Furthermore, the earth pressure by computation or by the test using the concrete retaining wall was also considered to make comparison.

Recently, the retaining wall with the relieving platform has received increasing interests also in Korea in that it can reduce the lateral earth pressure and provide more stability than conventional retaining wall. Previous studies with model tests studies covered only a limited test conditions. In this study, total 15 model tests were performed for various conditions with improved model test apparatus to confirm the effect of decreasing the lateral earth pressure on the retaining wall with the relieving platform. Jumoonjin sand was used for model soil and 2 load cells were used for each 15 layers to measure the lateral earth pressure. Based on the experimental results, the lateral earth pressure of the retaining wall with the relieving platform is less than the that of cantilever wall. The length of the platform and the location of the platform are the key factors influencing the lateral earth pressure.

Retaining wall with relieving platform has advantages in terms of stability and costs because it decreases the earth pressure by installing the relieving platform. However, there have not been previous studies of the optimal design for the retaining wall with reliving platform in practice. In this study, the optimal design conditions of the retaining wall with relieving platform are proposed by evaluating the reduction effect of lateral earth pressure based on the numerical analysis of 40 cross sections by changing wall types, wall heights, shelf locations and lengths. As a result, the optimal location of a shelf is the central part of a retaining wall (h/H=0.50) and the optimal length is recommended to be designed to satisfy b/L=0.45, at least.

To understand the deformation behavior of nonwoven geotextiles(NWGT) reinforced soil wall, analyses of load-elongation properties, soil-reinforcement interface friction, laboratory model tests, and field cases throughout literature reviews are being studied in this paper. According to the analyses results, the stiffness and tensile strength of NWGT is increased in proportion to confinement pressures, and the interface shear strength at soil-NWGT appeared to be stronger than soil-geogrid interface. The deformation at the beginning of loading on NWGT reinforced soil wall is larger than geogrid reinforced soil wall, but the wall deformation with NWGT is smaller than the wall of geogrid after passing some loading point in laboratory model tests. Case analysis results have shown that the facing of NWGT reinforced soil wall should be rigid enough to be used as a permanent wall, and NWGT and in-situ poor soil can be used for reinforcement and backfill respectively if the wall is constructed as pre-reinforced soil body and with post-facing that has a full-height rigid concrete.

This paper describes the global stability of the reinforced earth wall, which was collapsed by heavy rainfall. The seepage analysis was conducted to confirm the change effect of groundwater level on slope with reinforced earth wall. The seepage analysis result confirmed that the change of groundwater level is greatly influenced by rainfall. According to the change of groundwater level, the global stability analysis with reinforced earth wall was conducted based on the results of seepage analysis. The safety factor of the slope was 0.476 when the wall is collapsed firstly. The collapse cause analyzed that soil strength was weaken because the ground was saturated by continuous rainfall. Therefore, the global stability, which is considered heavy rainfall, should be conducted at design and construction of reinforced earth wall.

A new style of panel-type reinforced earth wall is a more integrated structure by connecting the geosynthetic strip reinforcement with a folding groove directly to the front panel through C-shaped insertion hole embedded in the panel. In this study, field measurements were conducted on two reinforced earth walls constructed at different sites to assess the field applicability and structural stability of the new style of panel-type reinforced earth wall. The horizontal displacement of the front panel, tensile deformation of the geosynthetic strip reinforcement, and horizontal earth pressure acting on the panel were measured and analyzed through the field measurements. According to the field measurements, after completion of the reinforced earth wall construction, the maximum horizontal earth pressure applied to the front panel was less than two-thirds of the Rankine earth pressure, and the maximum horizontal displacement of the front panel was less than 0.5% of the wall height, and the maximum tensile strain generated on the reinforcement was less than 1.0%. Therefore, it was found that two reinforced earth walls constructed at different sites remained stable.

This paper concerns the load carrying capacity of back-to-back reinforced soil wall for use in roadway and railway construction. Two test conditions, designed with due consideration of the FHW A design guideline, were first developed and a number of cases having different reinforcement lengths were tested under a surchage loading until failure. The results indicated that for cases in which two sides of reinforcements do not overlap, the wall behavior was similar to those of single wall. For cases in which the reinforcements overlap each other, on the other hand, the load carrying capacity of the wall significantly decreased when reinforced with reinforcement layers having lengths less than 50% of the wall height.
