토류벽체는 배면토의 과도한 변형을 막기 위한 구조물이다. 일반적인 형식의 옹벽에는 중력식 옹벽, 철근 콘크리트 옹벽, 보강토 옹벽, 그리고 타이백(tie-back) 옹벽 등이 있다. 그러나 실용적인 관점에서는 실제로 많이 사용되고 있는 이들 형식의 옹벽들은 배수구의 막힘 현상과 보강재의 부식 및 정착공간의 부족, 온도차 신축균열, 미관상 자연 환경에 친화적이지 못한 문제점 등을 갖고 있다. 이에 따라 최근에는 콘크리트 블록으로 만든 새로운 형태의 옹벽이 개발되었다. (중략)

Recently in case of the concrete retaining wall precast technological change in the field assembled by the way. A precast wall is devied into upper and lower respectively, and the way, assembled in field is being performed. But the assembled part could have been damaged by the earth pressure in a relatively high buttress wall. And, it have been pointed out that large-scale disaster can be occurred. Thus, in this thesis, a structural stability for the buttressed retaining wall with pre-cast joint method was analyzed by a numerical analysis method. The structural stability of the three height retaining wall(7.6m, 8.5m, 10m) was conducted respectively for earth pressure. The maximum principal stress applied to the concrete retaining wall was analyzed to occur locally in the vicinity of the fixing anchor as 23.3 ~ 43.2 MPa.

In recent Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes, motions that exceed the design ground motion were recorded. This has led to adjustments to the design earthquake intensity in selected design guidelines. An increment in the design intensity requires reevaluation of all associated facilities, requiring extensive time and cost. Firstly, the seismic factor of safety of built concrete retaining walls are calculated. Secondly, the seismic margin of concrete retaining walls is evaluated. The design sections of concrete walls built at power plants and available site investigation reports are utilized. Widely used pseudo-static analysis method is used to evaluate the seismic performance. It is shown that all concrete walls are safe against the adjusted design ground motion. To determine the seismic margin of concrete walls, the critical accelerations, which is defined as the acceleration that causes the seismic factor of safety to exceed the allowable value, are calculated. The critical acceleration is calculated as 0.36g~0.8g. The limit accelerations are significantly higher than the design intensity and are demonstrated to have sufficient seismic margin. Therefore, it is concluded that the concrete retaining walls do not need to be reevaluated even if the design demand is increased up to 0.3g.

The river environments of many streams in korea have been deteriorate through the rapid industrialization and urbanization since the 1960s. In korea, on the other hand, much efforts on the research and project have been made for the restoration of the deteriorated streams to close-to-nature. in order to restore the deteriorated streams, therefore, it is necessary to investigate such advanced technologies and materials. In view of this requirement, various research paths are being taken focusing on coarse aggregates to make multi-functional porous concrete having continuous voids so as to improve water and air permeability, acoustic absorption, water purification and applicability to vegetation. The Purpose of this study is to investigate the method for recovery of the environment in the streams area using porous concrete retaining wall block. the multi-P.O.C block applies for test in the Jangduri-cheon have been monitored planting, stability etc. after 6 months, plant grows flourishing and reconstructed in state such as nature rivers.

A field instrumentation for a recycled waste concrete geobag wall was performed to investigate the performance of the geobag wall, and uniaxial compression tests for a recycled waste concrete geobag were executed in laboratory. The strength of a recycled waste concrete geobag, the lateral earth pressure of a geobag wall, the horizontal deflection of a geobag wall, and the deformation of a backfill in geobag wall are mainly evaluated in this study. Based on the results of analysis on the measurements, it was found that the geobag wall displacement was within the recommendation for mechanically stabilized earth walls. It was also found that the use of a recycled waste concrete in geobag wall provides economical benefit, construction easiness, and good performance.

산지유역은 하천을 따라서 도로가 발달되어 있어서 대부분의 도로가 홍수시 하천의 영향을 많이 받는다. 산지하천은 경사가 급하고 만곡수충부가 많이 발달되어 있기 때문에 홍수시 유속이 빠르고 만곡수충부의 편수위가 매우 크다. 이는 만곡부 호안 파괴와 도로 유실의 피해를 일으키는 경우가 많다. 따라서 대부분의 산지하천 만곡수충부에는 홍수피해 방지를 위해 콘크리트 옹벽호안으로 되어 있다. 그러나 콘크리트 옹벽은 조도가 작기 때문에 유속이 더 빠르게 되고 편수위를 한층 증대시킬 수 있다. 산지하천 만곡수충부의 편수위를 줄이기 위해서는 접근유속을 줄여야 하나 산지하천 특성으로 볼 때 접근유속 저감을 위한 공학적 방법은 제한적이다. 따라서 만곡수충부의 유속을 줄이는 방법으로 콘크리트 옹벽호안의 조도계수를 증대시키는 것이 효과적일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 개수로 측벽에 수직돌출줄눈이 설치되었을 때 흐름에 미치는 수리효과를 개수로 수리실험으로 파악하고자 한 것이다. 실험결과 돌출줄눈의 간격이 수직돌출줄눈의 무차원 폭이 9일 때 평균유속이 가장 작게 나타났다. 이는 돌출줄눈의 간격이 개수로 내부흐름의 유속분포, 최대유속발생 위치, 유수단 면적의 크기에 영향이 미치기 때문이다. 따라서 개수로 측벽 수직돌출줄눈의 간격을 조절함으로써 개수로 유수저항의 크기를 조절할 수 있다.

The PCRW (Precast Concrete Retaining Wall) has many advantages compared with cast in place concrete retaining wall : shorter construction period, excellency of quality and minimum interference with the adjacent structure and traffics. However, shallow foundation type of PCRW, which has comparatively better ground condition, has some disadvantages such as difficulty in transportation and higher cost due to the size of PCRW being expanded by resisting only with self-weight if there is no other supplementary reinforcement. The presented study, in order to complement such disadvantages of PCRW, have applied the micropile method. The micropile method has advantages like low-cost and high-efficiency and does not require huge space, because it can be executed with small size equipment. However, the mechanical behavior characteristics of the PCRW reinforced by micropile, which is installed to improve the reinforcement effect, is not yet clearly identified and there is no suggested standard as to the length, diameter, install angle and install position of micropiles. Hence, this method is yet being designed depend on engineer's experience. In this study, various laboratory model tests as to sliding and overturning were performed in order to identify and present the optimum type of reinforcement and reinforcement effect of the PCRW reinforced by micropiles. In addition, it also executed numerical analysis for the purpose of verifying the optimum type of reinforcement for micropiles based on the results of laboratory model tests. The optimum reinforcement type of micropiles was estimated by model test and numerical analysis. The length of micropiles is 0.4 times wall height and the diameter is 0.04 times wall length.

Recently, geosynthetic reinforced earth walls are gradually replacing conventional concrete retaining walls for reasons of economy, expediency of construction, and aesthetics. A number of reinforced soil walls having more than 10m heights have been constructed to make more effective development in the country. However, mistakes in design and construction of reinforced earth walls have resulted in many troubles such as failure of reinforced earth walls, horizontal deformationor breakdown of facings, and so forth during or after construction. In this paper, a case study on global sliding failure of a geogrid-reinforced tiered wall is carried out to investigate the causes of the failure and suggest the proper countermeasures. From the subsurface investigation and field instrumentation, It is found that the cause of the global sliding failure was occurred by decreasing of bearing capacity of foundation ground induced by infiltration of rainwater.
