  • 식생토낭 공법은 토목섬유 콘테이너 공법의 일종으로 옹벽건설시 시공환경에 따른 영향을 최소화할 수 있으며, 자연친화적 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 식생토낭 보강토벽 시공방법을 식생토낭 비다짐 옹벽, 식생토낭 다짐 옹벽, 중력및 일반쌓기 혼용 옹벽, 게비온과 일반쌓기 혼용 옹벽 등 4가지 시공방법 대하여 계측기를 매설하고, 식생토낭 보강토벽의 거동특성을 평가하였다. 시공계측 결과, 식생토낭 일반쌓기 비다짐 구간에서의 변위가 게비온과 식생토낭 혼용구간 보다 최대 30%이상 발생하였다. 또한, 뒤채움부 무보강 2m이상 식생토낭 보강토벽은 변위에 대해 불안정한 것으로 평가되었다. 한편, 토압의 분포는 시공직후 모든 구간 Rankine 및 Coulomb의 주동토압 이내에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 집중강우 이후 일반쌓기 구간은 토압의 증가폭이 크게 나타났으며, 게비온과 일반쌓기 혼용구간이 일반쌓기 구간과 비교하여 보다 안정한 것으로 평가되었다.

  • Classic braced walls use struts and wales to minimize ground movements induced by deep excavation. However, the installation of struts and wales is a time-consuming process and confines the work space. To secure a work space around the retaining structure, an anchoring system works in conjunction with a braced wall. However, anchoring cannot perform well when the shear strength of soil is low. In such a case, innovative retaining systems are required in excavation. This study proposes an innovative earth-retaining wall that uses in situ soil confined in dual sheet piles as a structural component. A numerical study was conducted to evaluate the stability of the proposed structure in cohesionless dry soil and establish a design chart. The displacement and factor of safety of the structural member were monitored and evaluated. According to the results, an increase in the clearance distance increases the depth of safe excavation. For a conservative design to secure the stability of the earth-retaining structure in cohesionless dry soil, the clearance distance should exceed 2 m, and the embedded depth should exceed 40% of the wall height. The results suggest that the proposed method can be used for 14 m of excavation without any internal support structure. The design chart can be used for the preliminary design of an earth-retaining structure using in situ soil with dual steel sheet piles in cohesionless dry soil.

  • Based on limit equilibrium principles, this study presents a theoretical derivation of a new analytical formulation for estimating magnitude and lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining wall subjected to seismic loads. The proposed solution accounts for failure wedge inclination, unit weight and friction angle of backfill soil, wall roughness, and horizontal and vertical seismic ground accelerations. The current analysis predicts a nonlinear lateral earth pressure variation along the wall with and without seismic loads. A parametric study is conducted to examine the influence of various parameters on lateral earth pressure distribution. Findings reveal that lateral earth pressure increases with the increase of horizontal ground acceleration while it decreases with the increase of vertical ground acceleration. Compared to classical theory, the position of resultant lateral earth force is located at a higher distance from wall base which in turn has a direct impact on wall stability and economy. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the computations of lateral earth pressure distribution based on the suggested analytical method.

  • Time effect on the deformation and strength characteristics of geogrid reinforced sand retaining wall has become an important issue in geotechnical and transportation engineering. Three physical model tests on geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls performed under various loading conditions were simulated to study their rate-dependent behaviors, using the presented nonlinear finite element method (FEM) analysis procedure. This FEM was based on the dynamic relaxation method and return mapping scheme, in which the combined effects of the rate-dependent behaviors of both the backfill soil and the geosynthetic reinforcement have been included. The rate-dependent behaviors of sands and geogrids should be attributed to the viscous property of materials, which can be described by the unified three-component elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. By comparing the FEM simulations and the test results, it can be found that the present FEM was able to be successfully extended to the boundary value problems of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls. The deformation and strength characteristics of the geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls can be well reproduced. Loading rate effect, the trends of jump in footing pressure upon the step-changes in the loading rate, occurred not only on sands and geogrids but also on geogrid reinforced sands retaining walls. The lateral earth pressure distributions against the back of retaining wall, the local tensile force in the geogrid arranged in the retaining wall and the local stresses beneath the footing under various loading conditions can also be predicted well in the FEM simulations.

  • In this study, the simulated cyclic train loading test was carried out in order to investigate the dynamic behavior in/at the block type reinforced earth retaining wall. The results in this test were compared with unreinforced and reinforced case, respectively. It was shown that we confirmed the correlation between earth pressure and displacement, the confining effect of wall displacement by the effect of geogrid.

  • 최근 경제성, 시공성 및 수려한 외관 등의 장점을 가진 토목섬유 보강토옹벽이 점차 기존의 콘크리트옹벽을 대체해가고 있다. 또한 국토의 효율적 활용을 위해 10m이상 높이의 보강토옹벽 시공이 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 보강토옹벽에 대한 설계 및 시공 상의 부주의에 기인한 전면벽체의 변위 및 파손, 보강토옹벽의 붕괴 등과 같은 실폐사례들이 종종 발생하고 있다. 이러한 붕괴사례 중, 전면활동파괴가 발생된 현장사례에 대하여, 일련의 현장지반조사와 계측결과 분석을 통해 붕괴원인을 규명하고, 적절한 대책안을 제시하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 본 현장 보강토옹벽의 전면 활동파괴는 강우의 침투로 인해 보강토옹벽 하부 기초지반의 지지력이 감소되어 발생한 것으로 나타났다.

  • The Coulomb and Rankine theories have been usually used for design of retaining walls, in which the earth pressures have been assumed as a triangular distribution For the rigid retaining w리1 with inclined bacuace and horizontal surface backfilled by cohesionless soils, the analytical method of earth pressure distribution has been newly suggested by using the concept of the flat arch. The active thrust obtained by this method agrees well with those by the existing theories, except the Rankine solution. The analyzed results show that the height to the center of pressure depends mainly on the inclination of the back wall and the wall friction, instead of 0.33H, where H is the wall height.

  • 본 논문에서는 원심모형실험을 통하여 보강재의 재질 특성에 따른 보강토옹벽의 거동을 연구 하였다. 이 연구에서 전면판은 가요성 알루미늄판을 사용하였으며, 보강재는 알루미늄 호일 스트립 (aluminum foil strip)과 비직물 폴리에스터 시트(non-woven polyester sheet)를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 알루미늄 호일보다 폴리에스터 시트를 이용한 모델옹벽이 더 높은 응력에서 지지 되었으며, 전면판의 수평변위는 높이 0.6H인 지점에서 최대치를 나타내었다. 한편, 본 연구결과를 이용하여 전면판의 위치에 따른 수평변위산정을 위한 계수관계도를 제안하였다.
