1990년대 중반 이래로 경제성과 시공성이 우수한 보강토옹벽이 콘크리트 옹벽을 급속도로 대체하였다. 보강토옹벽의 적용이 증가하면서 피해사례 또한 증가하고 있다. 보강토옹벽의 파손은 주로 부적절한 설계와 시공관리에 기인하는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 보강토옹벽 상부 및 배면으로의 유입수로 인해 피해가 발생한 2개소 현장을 대상으로 피해 발생 원인을 검토하고 복구대책을 제안하였다. 일련의 현장 지반조사를 통해 손상된 보강토옹벽의 피해발생 원인과 손상정도를 파악하였으며, 손상 범위 및 정도를 고려하여 쏘일네일링으로 보강토체를 보강하는 방안을 제시하였다.

Numerical analysis was carried out in order to simulate the development of the large deformation that took place on the reinforced earth wall, a part of the Tottori expressway planned to pass Hyogo, Japan. Since this reinforced earth wall had experienced unexpected deformation of the wall during construction, the wall was re-constructed twice. However, the wall deformation showed no sign to cease even at the final stage of the construction. Countermeasures to re-stabilize the wall were demanded. In part I of this paper, it was manifested that subsidence of a 3-meter weak soil due to seepage flow was responsible for the large deformation. A part of concrete panel wall was severely damaged due to extremely large pulling force of geotextile induced by the hammock state. As for the countermeasures, "grouting with slag system" was applied to fill voids of the backfill, and also to prevent further development of settlement in the weak soil layer. "Ground anchor" was also considered to achieve the prescribed factor of safety.

보강토 옹벽이 붕괴되는 사례가 종종 발생되면서, 붕괴된 옹벽의 보강 및 복구에 대한 사회적인 관심은 날로 커지고 있으나 이에 대한 연구는 미미한 경향이 있다. 이와 같은 배경 아래, 본 연구에서는 Plaxis 2D프로그램을 이용한 일련의 수치해석을 수행하여 설계부실로 전면블록의 전도와 배면 침하 피해가 발생된 기존 보강토 옹벽을 복구할 수 있는 방안에 대한 사례연구를 수행하였다. 복구방안으로는 기존 피해 보강토 옹벽에 쏘일네일링과 보강콘크리트(RC) 전면벽체를 보강하는 방안(Case 1)과 기존 피해 보강토 옹벽을 제거하고 재시공하는 방안(Case 2)으로 검토하였다. 보강토 옹벽의 내적안정검토결과는 파단에 대해서는 Case 1이 Case 2보다 크고 인발에 대해서는 Case 2가 Case 1보다 안전율이 크게 나타났다. 수치해석에 의한 외적거동과 전단강도감소법에 의한 전체사면안정 안전율은 Case 1이 Case 2보다 안정적으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 보다 안정적인 외적거동을 나타내는 Case 1로 기존 피해 보강토 옹벽을 보강하도록 하였다.

Case study was carried out on the interpretation of the mechanical behavior of a severely damaged reinforced earth wall comprising geotextile with the concrete panel facing. In this part I, the outline of the damaged reinforced earth wall is in detail described. The background and cause of the damage are discussed based on the results of site investigation. The engineering properties of the fill were examined by performing various in-situ and laboratory tests, including the surface wave survey (SWS), PS-logging, RI-logging, soaking test, the direct shear box (DSB) test, bender element (BE) test, etc. The background as well as the cause for the damage of the wall may be described such that i) a considerable amount of settlement took place over a 3m thick weak soil layer in the lower part of the reinforced earth due to seepage of rainfall water, ii) the weight of the upper fill was partially supported by the geo-textile hooked on the concrete panels (n.b., named conveniently "hammock state" in this paper), and iii) the concrete panels to form the hammock were severely damaged by the unexpectedly large downwards compression force triggered by the tension force of the geotextile. The numerical simulation for the hammock state of the wall, together with counter-measures to re- stabilize the wall is subsequently described in Part II.

본 연구에서는 휴대형 동적콘관입시험(DCPT)을 활용하여 손상된 보강토옹벽의 피해원인을 규명하고 대책방안을 마련한 총 6곳의 현장사례를 검토하여 휴대형 동적콘관입시험의 현장 적용성을 평가하였다. 현장에서는 하부 로트의 결합 연장을 통하여 6m 이상의 지반조사가 가능하도록 개량된 동적콘관입시험기를 사용하였으며, 그 결과를 표준관입시험 결과와 비교하여 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 다양한 현장 적용사례 분석을 통하여, 휴대형 동적콘관입시험이 손상된 보강토옹벽 현장에서의 적용이 매우 편리하며, 연속적으로 개략적인 지반강성을 파악하여 옹벽의 피해원인을 규명하고 안정성을 확인하는데 큰 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 동적콘관입시험 및 표준관입시험 결과를 비교, 분석해 본 결과, 사질토 지반에서는 N≒(1/3~2/3)·Nd 정도의 상관관계가 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

This paper studies the effect of saturation of backfill on the seismic stability of reinforced soil walls (RSWs) using centrifuge shaking table tests. For comparison, degradation of static stability and seismic stability of a RSW under unsaturated condition was also investigated. Test results showed that the RSW under saturated condition had enough static stability. However, seismic stability of saturated RSW significantly decreased as compared with that under unsaturated condition. The saturated model RSW did not collapse, though it showed large deformation. It maintained sufficient stability after shakings although a clear slip surface appeared in the backfill. Finally, it is discussed how to evaluate residual stability of RSWs damaged by earthquakes with test results and the simple evaluation method proposed by authors.

Two destructive earthquakes occurred on October 23 and November 9, 2011 in Van province of Turkey. The damage in residential units shows significant deviation from the expectation of decreasing damage with increasing distance to epicenter. The most damaged settlement Ercis has the same distance to the epicenter with Muradiye, where no damage occurred while relatively less damage observed in Van having half distance. These three cities seem to have resembling soil conditions. If the damages are evaluated: joint failures and insufficient lap splice lengths are observed to be the main causes of the total collapses in RC buildings. Additionally, low concrete strength, reinforcement detailing mistakes, soft story, heavy overhang, pounding and short columns are among other damage reasons. Examples of damages due to non-structural elements are also given. Remarkable points about seismic damages are: collapsed buildings with shear-walls, heavily damaged buildings despite adequate concrete strength due to detailing mistakes, undamaged two-story adobe buildings close to totally collapsed RC ones and undamaged structural system in buildings with heavily damaged non-structural elements. On the contrary of the common belief that buildings with shear-walls are immune to total collapse among civil engineers, collapse of Gedikbulak primary school is a noteworthy example.
