The earth retaining wall systems for excavation works in a populated urban area or a poor soil deposit can be limited due to various restriction. Thus there are various methods to be applied for them such as the soldier pile method, the diaphragm wall with counterfort and so on. In this study, the self-supported earth retaining wall using the DCM(Deep Cement Mixing) method, including its merits, demerits and some important characteristics occured in the design and the construction stage, was introduced. It might be reference for the other design and construction procedures using the DCM method.

The temporary support system in Korea have been carried out generally along with installing supports, which are struts, anchors, rakers. However, most of existing support systems in application relatively have limitations such as cost increase, construction configuration, and displacement occurred with support systems. Thus, a new retaining support system(referred to as the SSR, NET No.533) was developed to solve the aforementioned problems. This study introduces the design, construction, and maintenance of the SSR system under the different construction conditions. The behavior and characteristics of the SSR system were identified based on the case studies.

The seismic characteristics of two semi-gravity reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls are examined via an experimental program using an outdoor shake table (one with and the other without concrete masonry sound wall on top). Both walls are backfilled with compacted soil and supported on flexible foundation in a steel soil container. The primary damages during both tests are associated with significant lateral displacements of the wall caused by lateral earth pressure; however, no collapse occurs during the tests. The pressure distribution behind the walls has a nonlinear trend and conventional methods such as Mononobe-Okabe are insufficient for accurate pressure estimation.

In this study, experiments were carried out after fabricating and installing a physical model considering the size of the prototype. In the model test, the number of struts placed on the wall and the applied acceleration were selected as test variables. Two different types of waves, long-period and short-period, were applied with magnitudes of 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.2g, and 0.3g. Measured are displacements at specified points. As a result of the analysis, displacement exceeding the allowable displacement of the wall occurred at an acceleration greater than 0.05g to 0.1g depending on the seismic waves applied. Therefore guidelines have to be established through further studies for aseismic design of earth retaining walls.

Retaining structures are one of the most important elements in the stabilization of excavations and slopes in various engineering projects. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are widely used as retaining structures due to their flexibility, easy and economical construction. These benefits are especially prominent for projects built on soft and weak foundation soils, which have relatively low resistance and high compressibility. For high retaining walls on weak foundations, conventional design methods are not cost-effective. Therefore, two alternative solutions for different foundation weakness are proposed in this research: optimized multi-tiered MSE walls and single tier wall with foundation improvement. The cost optimization considers both the construction components and the land price. The results show that the optimal solution depends on several factors, including the foundation strength and more importantly, the land price. For low land price, the optimized multi-tiered wall is more economical, while for high land price (urban areas), the foundation improvement is preferable. As the foundation strength decreases, the foundation improvement becomes inevitable.

This paper deal with cause and analysis about case of collapsed reinforced-soil retaining wall. The analysis of the cause was carried through experimentation, slop stability analysis and literature study. The experimentation treated the large direct shear test, the hydraulic conductivity test and the other basic test through backfill extracted from collapsed reinforced-soil retaining wall. The ultimate tensile strength was established by rib tensile strength test of geogrid. The analysis of internal and external stability of reinforced-soil retaining wall was performed on the basis of parameters. The result of analysis, reinforced-soil retaining wall and the slope at the dry season are stable. However, the factors that fine-grained soil at hydrometer test exceed the standard of the design, rainfall duration is too long at the time of collapse and monthly pricipitation is heavy are cause of the collapse.

보강토 공법은 경제적으로 유리하고 환경적인 제약을 극복하는데 유리하기 때문에 옹벽, 사면, 기초, 도로, 제방 등의 구조물에 실용적으로 적용되고 있다. 하지만 곡선구간에서 충분한 안정성을 확보하지 못한 보강토 옹벽의 붕괴사례가 발생하고 있으며, 이는 보강토 옹벽 곡선구간에 대한 분석이 정립되지 않은데 원인이 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 곡선구간 형태별 시공성 및 구조적인 안정성을 검토하기 위한 방안으로, 수평변위 측정을 통해 곡선 형태별 수평변위 차이점을 규명하고, 이를 이용하여 곡선구간과 직선구간의 문제점 분석 및 대책강구를 위한 기초자료 연구에 목적을 두고 있다. 실험결과 하중 재하시 오목형과 볼록형 모두 곡선 중앙에서 최대 수평변위가 발생 하였으며, 오목형의 경우 토압을 받는 힘의 방향이 안쪽으로 작용하는 반면에 블록형의 경우는 힘의 방향이 바깥쪽으로 작용하기 때문에 볼록형의 경우가 오목형에 비해 수평변위가 더 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 볼록형의 경우 보강토체의 주동토압 뿐만 아니라 측면토압이 추가로 발생되어 곡선구간에서의 볼록형의 수평변위가 오목형에 비해 더 발생한 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 흙막이 시설물 내진설계의 필요성을 살펴보기 위한 기초 연구로서, 유한차분해석 프로그램인 FLAC을 이용하여 가상의 대심도 흙막이 구조물을 대상으로 내진해석을 수행하고, 지진하중이 흙막이 시설물의 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 그 결과 지진하중 작용 시 벽체에 발생하는 모멘트와 지보재의 최대 축력이 지진하중 작용 전 최종 굴착단계와 비교하여 각각 98%, 87%까지 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 동적 토압이 구조물에 미치는 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 동해석 결과로 얻은 부재력을 이용하여 현행 기준에 따라 설계된 흙막이의 안정성을 재평가하고, 지진하중이 구조물의 설계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

At-rest and active earth pressure in plane strain condition have been applied to the design of cylindrical retaining walls. But many researchers have indicated that the earth pressure on the cylindrical retaining walls would be smaller than in plane strain condition due to wall deformation and stress relief. In this paper, the distribution of earth pressure acting on diaphragm wall of a shaft in dry sand was predicted by using the convergence confinement method and model test was performed to verify the estimated values. Test results showed that the earth pressure acting on the diaphragm wall of a shaft was expected to be 1.1~1.5 times larger than active earth pressure of plane strain condition and 0.7~0.9 times less than at-rest earth pressure.

Soil strength and failure surface geometry directly influence magnitudes of passive earth thrust acting on geotechnical retaining structures. Accordingly, it is expected that as long as the shape of the failure surface geometry and strength parameters of the backfill are known, magnitudes of computed passive earth thrusts should be highly accurate. Building on this premise, this study adopts conventional method of slices for calculating passive earth thrust and combines it with equations for estimating failure surface geometries based on in-situ stress state and density. Accuracy of the proposed method is checked using the results obtained from small-scale physical retaining wall model tests. In these model tests, backfill was prepared using either air pluviation or compaction and different backfill relative densities were used in each test. When the calculated passive earth thrust magnitudes were compared with the measured values, it was noticed that the results were highly compatible for the tests with pluviated backfills. On the other hand, calculated thrust magnitudes significantly underestimated the measured thrust magnitudes for those tests with compacted backfills. Based on this observation, a new approach for the calculation of passive earth pressures is developed. The proposed approach calculates the magnitude and considers the influence of locked-in stresses that are the by-products of the backfill preparation method in the computation of lateral earth forces. Finally, recommendations are given for any geotechnical application involving the compaction of granular bodies that are equally applicable to physical modelling studies and field construction problems.
