Allowable level of blasting vibration for earth retaining wall was examined in this study. Blasting vibration was measured at near field blasting to evaluate the influence of the blasting work to earth retaining wall and rear ground. Although small scale blasting with $0.5{\sim}2.0kg$ explosives per round merely influenced to the structure and ground, but it was suggested to blast at the distance of twice the least burden considering the block movement.

Earth retaining structure is constructed structure in order to construct a multistoried building, the subway, a subterranean downtown for effective use and obtainments of the limited ground. Recently, many kinds of research have been actively developed for a standardization and a database on designing and constructing of bridge, tunnel, road. With the works of database construction of that, many kinds of data with respect to statistics is cumulated. However, Database work of designed and constructed earth retaining structure in the construction field is wholly lacking and lagged behind in the works of database construction. This paper suggested classification system on indication data in connection with designing and constructing earth retaining structures a hundred fields. On the basis of that, code work with classification system was practised and DB program of indication data in connection with designing and constructing earth retaining structures was developed.

Recently, as the building construction works have been activated, the environment in which the excavation work is proceeding in parallel with the existing structure and the adjacent excavation work is increasing. However, there is not a lot of research on this. In this study, numerical analysis was carried out for interaction analysis between former excavation construction and follow-up excavation on two excavation retaining structures in parallel with excavation. As a result of numerical analysis, if the supporting load of strut is not considered, it was analyzed that the displacement distribution in the structure can be underestimated and acting stress of strut is overestimated. It was analyzed that the support stress causes by the former excavation should be considered in order to simulate the actual behavior characteristic.

The absolute value management method is widely used in the most of the earth retaining construction, which evaluates the safety by comparing measurement result and management criteria. Therefore, the management criteria is the standard to evaluate the safety of the site, and in other words, the criteria is a direct factor of the evaluation. That means that the safety of the site can not be acquired if the management criteria is not proper, even though the measurement system is perfectly set. However, many of field technicians do not have rely on the current management criteria, and they even recognize the necessity of the revision. Therefore, in this study, the necessity of the revision was studied. Also, the optimum criteria selection and the application were performed based on the test results of earth retaining deflection and probabilistic theory. The absolute value management method was used for this study. The details are tabulated.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to present a reasonable safety management of the anchored in-situ wall systems constructed in the ground conditions consisting of multi-layered soils underlain by bedrocks in the urban area of Korea. Method: Field measurements collected from collapse case histories with deep excavations were analyzed for the safety management of the wall systems supported by the earth anchors in terms of lateral displacement rates. Results: The average maximum lateral displacement rate in a collapsed zone of the in-situ wall significantly increased upon the completion of the excavation. Particularly, the collapse of the in-situ wall system due to the sliding occurring along the discontinuities of the rock produced a considerably large lateral displacement rate over a relatively short period. Conclusion: For predicting and preventing the collapse of the wall system during or after the excavation work, the utilization of the safety management criteria of the in-situ wall system by the lateral displacement rate was found to be much more reasonable in judging the safety of earthworks than the application of the quantitative management criteria which have been commonly used in the excavation sites.

It's essential to build an earth retaining structure at the beginning and end point of a tunnel constructed in a colluvium area. A large scale of colluvial soil may cause a problem to the stability of the excavation ground. An excavation in colluvium has different behavior characteristics from those in a sandy soil due to unstable elements and needs counter measures for it. There are few systematic research efforts on the behavior characteristics of an earth retaining structure installed in colluvial soil. Thus this study set out to collect measuring data from an excavation site at the tunnel pit mouth in colluvium and set quantitative criteria for the safety of an earth retaining structure. After comparing and analyzing the theoretical and empirical earth pressure from the measuring data, the lateral earth pressure distribution acted on the earth retaining wall was suggested.

The stability of innovative prestressed wale system applied in urban excavation was investigated. The IPS is a wale system prestressed by tension of steel wires. The IPS consists of steel wires, H-beam support and wale. The IPS provides a high flexural stiffness to resist the bending moment caused by earth pressures. And the IPS transmits earth pressures due to excavation to corner struts. The IPS provides a larger spacing of support, economical benefit, construction easiness, good performance and safety control. This paper explains basic concept and mechanism of the IPS and presents the measured performances of the IPS applied in urban excavation. In order to investigate applicability and stability of the IPS in urban excavation, observations and measurements in site were performed. The IPS applied in urban excavation was performed successfully. The results of the field instrumentation were presented. The measured performances of the IPS were investigated. And behavior of the wall and corner struts was investigated.

We conducted test blasting in 3 sites to identify the effect on safety of the earth retaining wall by near blasting vibration. As a test result, we confirm that underground structures(earth anchor et al.) are relatively safer than surface structures as the underground vibration is 10~52% of surface vibration at a same distance. We derived surface and underground vibration prediction equations by regression analysis of measured 3 sites' surface and underground vibration PPV. Also we calculated minimum separation distance by blasting pattern about underground and surface curing concrete. Unless any discontinuity which are unsafe on the earth retaining wall appear, blasting work using under 2.4kg per delay is not meaningful to the earth retaining wall's safety as the result of measuring near blasting vibration, confirming change the earth retaining wall's instrument, and observation of structural deformation.
