When the ground is excavated adjacent to the existing tunnel, which is loaded by the surcharge on the ground surface, the tunnel stability would be very sensitive to the deformation of the ground induced by the horizontal displacement of braced wall. The stability of the existing surcharged tunnel could be controlled by pre-loading on the braced wall. In this paper, it was investigated, if it would be possible to keep the existing surcharged tunnel stable by preventing the horizontal displacement of a braced wall by imposing the pre-loading during the ground excavation. For this purpose, large scale model tests were performed in a scale 1/10 at the test pit which was 2.0m in width and 6.0m in height and 4.0m in length. Isotropic test ground was constructed homogeneously by wet sand. Model tunnel was constructed in the test ground. Surcharge was loaded on the ground surface above the tunnel. During the tests, the behavior of model tunnel and model braced wall was measured. Numerical analyses were also performed in the same condition as the tests. And their results were compared to that of the model tests. Consequently, the effect of a surcharge could be compensated by imposing the pre-loading on the braced wall. The existing tunnel and the braced wall could be kept stable by preventing the horizontal displacement of the braced wall through pre-loading, although the tunnel is surcharged.

기존터널에 근접 굴착 할 때 발생하는 흙막이벽체의 수평변위를 억제시키기 위해 버팀대에 선행하중을 가했다. 이러한 목적으로 흙막이벽체에 큰 선행하중을 가할 수 있는 새로운 선행하중 시스템을 모형시험에 적용하였다. 대형 시험은 폭 2.0m, 높이 6.0m, 길이 4.0m인 모형 토조에서 수행하였고 시험지반은 모래로 조성하였다. 직경 1.2m인 모형 터널은 시험지반 굴착 전에 설치하고 지반을 조성한 후에 모형터널에 근접해서 흙막이벽체를 설치하고 시험지반을 굴착하면서 모형 터널과 흙막이벽체 및 지반의 거동을 측정하였다. 이때에 선행하중 재하효과를 확인하기 위하여 선행하중을 가하지 않는 시험은 물론 선행하중을 가하여 흙막이벽체의 수평변위를 억제하는 시험을 실시하였고 수치해석을 실시하여 대형 시험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 선행하중을 설계축력 이상으로 적용시켜 흙막이벽체의 수평변위를 감소시켰을 때 벽체 배면에 있는 기존 터널의 안정성이 크게 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

During earthquake, reinforced concrete walls show complicated post-yield behavior varying with shear span-to-depth ratio, re-bar detail, and loading condition. In the present study, a macro-model for the nonlinear analysis of multi-story wall structures was developed. To conveniently describe the coupled flexure-compression and shear responses, a reinforced concrete wall was idealized with longitudinal and diagonal uniaxial elements. Simplified cyclic material models were used to describe the cyclic behavior of concrete and re-bars. For verification, the proposed method was applied to various existing test specimens of isolated and coupled walls. The results showed that the predictions agreed well with the test results including the load-carrying capacity, deformation capacity, and failure mode. Further the proposed model was applied to an existing wall structure tested on a shaking table. Three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses using the proposed model were performed for the test specimen. The time history responses of the proposed method agreed with the test results including the lateral displacements and base shear.

This paper is experimental and numerical research about the sliding behavior of cantilever retaining walls resisting surcharge loads. In experimental research, centrifuge model tests at the lg and 40 g-level were performed by changing the location of model footing and its width. Bearing capacity of model footing and characteristics of load-settlement and load-lateral displacement of retaining wall were investigated. Test results of bearing capacity were compared with modified jarquio method, based on the limit equilibrium method with elasticity theory. For the numerical analysis, the commericially available program of FLAC was used by implementing the hyperbolic constitutive relationships to compare with test result about load-settlement and load-displacement of retaining wall, bearing capacity of strip footing.

본 연구는 사질토 지반에 근입되어 있는 벽체의 극한지지력을 구하기 위해 새로운 근사적인 해석법의 전개과정에 대해 설명한다. 이러한 근사적인 형태의 해석기법은 상계 및 하계법으로 구성되어 있다. 상 하계법으로 계산된 값은 소성영역에서 구해진 2차원 실내벽체모형의 하중재하시험 및 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과, 모형실험과 유한요소해석으로부터 구한 극한하중 값은 상계와 하계 사이에 모두 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 비교에서 특이 할 사항은 하계법으로 구한 벽체의 극한하중이 모형실험 및 유한요소해석에서 구한 극한하중과 잘 일치되는 것을 보여 주었다. 그러나, 평면변형률 조건에서 기존의 경험적인 식에 의한 계산에서 얻어진 극한하중은 하계법의 극한하중에 훨씬 못 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

A pilot study has been conducted to guide the development of a finite element modeling formulation for the analysis of architectural glass curtain walls under in-plane lateral load simulating earthquake effects. This pilot study is one aspect of ongoing efforts to develop a general prediction model for glass cracking and glass fallout for architectural glass storefront and curtain wall systems during seismic loading. For this study, the ANSYS finite element analysis program was used to develop a model and obtain the stress distribution within an architectural glass panel after presumed seismic movements cause glass-to-frame contact. The analysis was limited to static loading of a dry-glazed glass curtain wall panel. A mock-up of the glass curtain wall considered in the analysis with strain gages mounted at select locations on the glass and the aluminum framing was subjected to static loading. A comparison is made between the finite element analysis predicted strain and the experimentally measured strain at each strain gage location.

본 연구에서는 기존의 근입비와 재하높이에 따른 모형실험의 결과를 바탕으로 셀 내벽의 마찰을 인위적으로 증감시켜 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면 마찰의 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 증가할수록 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면마찰의 영향은 적게 나타났다. 또한 벽면 마찰이 감소함에 따라 항복하중도 작은 값을 나타내었다. 2. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 커질수록 셀 구조물의 수평이동 변위에 대한 회전성분 변위의 비가 작게 나타났다. 따라서 벽면 마찰의 영향은 회전성분 변위와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Segmental Grid Retaining Wall is one of the segmental grid retaining walls using headers and stretchers to establish the framework of the wall In this method, grids formed by the intersection of headers and stretchers are generally filled with the gravel to maintain the weight of the wall Therefore, the construction can be carried out with higher speed and much economically when compared with the concrete retaining wall Furthermore, it has high drain capacity, and environmentally friendly aspects also have been pointed out because the possibility of the planting at the front of the wall However, in the segmental grid retaining wall method, the relative movement between the individual headers and stretchers was generally recognized, and stress redistribution in the gravel filling was also observed when subjected to the external loading and self-weight of filling Therefore, it has been thought that the distribution of the earth pressure in the segmental grid retaining wall system differ from that of the concrete retaining wall In this study, the surcharge tests using the scaled model segmental grid retaining wall was carried out to observe the distribution of the earth pressure in the segmental grid retaining wall The earth pressure was measured in the six specified height of wall, and the distribution of the pressure was analyzed. Furthermore, the earth pressure by computation or by the test using the concrete retaining wall was also considered to make comparison

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.
