1990년대 후반부터는 시공의 간편성과 유연한 벽면 형상이 가능한 블럭식 보강토 옹벽의 시공사례가 급격히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나, 기존의 연구자료와 비교해 볼 때 블럭의 형태, 보강재, 보강재와 블록의 연결형태, 뒤채움재에 따라 상이한 거동을 할 개연성이 있다. 따라서, 이 연구는 블럭식 보강토 옹벽의 거동을 수평 수직 토압계, 경사계, 침하판, 스트레인 게이지, 변형핀 등의 계측기를 설치하여 시공중과 시공후의 보강토 옹벽의 거동을 평가하였다. 또한, 현장에 적용된 보강토 옹벽의 설계 프로그램인 SRWall에 의해 산정된 안전율과 이론에 의해 도출된 안전율을 상호 비교함으로써 현장 계측결과와 설계프로그램에 의한 안전성을 검증하였다. 9개월 동안의 현장계측을 통한 연구 결과를 종합해보면, 블럭식 보강토 옹벽은 양호한 다짐관리와 시공기간의 장기화로 인한 변위는 매우 미미한 것으로 판명되었다. SRWall을 활용하여 도출한 안전율과 보강토 옹벽의 안전율을 평가한 결과 이론에 의해 도출한 안전율과 유사한 것으로 판명되었다.

본 연구에서는 실질적으로 붕괴된 보강토 옹벽 사고 사례를 통해 그 원인을 분석한 내용을 다루었다. 원인분석은 붕괴된 보강토 옹벽에서 채취한 뒷채움재의 역학적 실험을 실시하였으며, 사면안정 해석과 문헌조사를 통하여 수행하였다. 붕괴된 보강토 옹벽의 대표단면을 산정하여 국외의 보강토 옹벽 설계법인 FHWA 설계법과 NCMA 설계법에 의거 비교 분석 하였다. 붕괴된 보강토 옹벽 뒷채움 흙의 입도시험 분석 결과 200번체 통과량이 FHWA 기준치를 초과 하였다. 이는 여름철 집중 호우시 배수가 불량하여 침투수에 의한 간극수압이 급격하게 증가하여 유효응력이 감소해 전단 강도가 현저히 저하되어 붕괴된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 사면안정 해석 결과 충분한 안전율을 확보하지 못한데 그 원인이 있다고 할 수 있다.

In this study, we analyzed seismic behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall through the model test in order to characterize the behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall during earthquake. A scale model test was performed based on similitude ratio in accordance with law of similitude due to time and financial constraints on real scale modeling experiments. Seismic resistance characteristics of each seismic waves were analyzed by assessing the variations measured through excitation of the excited acceleration of 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.15g, and 0.2g. The results of this study, it would be important to obtain reasonable and abundant data on ground properties and seismic design in preparation for earthquakes when assessing the safety of block type reinforced earth retaining wall confined to model experiment. Acquisition of those data and systematic analytical techniques are considered likely to have a significant effect on the decrease of structure damage caused by earthquakes in Korea which has recently witnessed frequent occurrence of earthquakes.

보강토잡벽에 대한 합리적인 설계 및 시공방법에 관한 경험적인 자료를 제홍하기 위하여 실내 모형실험이 실시되었다. 본 모형실험에서는 각 축조 단계에서의 보강재의 인장력 변화를 보강재상에 부착된 스트레인 게이지에 의하여 계측되었다. 또한 다이알게이지에 의하여 보강토파벽의 수평이동이 측정되었고, 도건의 붕괴형태가 조사되었다. 모형실험에서 측정된 값들은 보강토옹벽에 대한 기존 연구 결과와 비교.논의하였다. 본 모형실험의 중요한 결과는 보강재의 인장력이 벽면가까이에서 최대가 되어 비선형적으로 변화하며, 벽체에 연결된 보강재가 전류에 대한 안정성을 증가시킨다.

The behavior of two-level soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall was examined using the finite element analysis. A number of different case was analyzed by varying the reinforcement length and the offset distance between the upper and lower wall. The results indicate that the interaction between the upper and lower walls can be neglected the upper wall is located beyond the distance of the lower wall height. A so found is that for moderate offset distances, the interaction between the two walls generally is limited to the external stability of the wall. Implication of the findings are discussed

To enhance the application of the reinforced retaining walls in the railway industry, this paper suggested a type of reinforcement subgrade with short reinforcement and rigid facing. To become popular the reinforced retaining walls in the industry, the deformation of retaining walls should be controlled below some limited level. In this paper, small scale and full scale tests of the proposed retaining walls were performed and their deformation characteristics were evaluated. Even though it has short reinforcement, the rigid type retaining wall had small deformation to the external train loading than the segmental type retaining wall had.

This paper presents the results of finite element analysis on the seismic response of a soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall subjected to a prescribed earthquake record. The results of finite element analysis indicate that the maximum wall displacement occurs at the top, exhibiting a cantilever type of wall movement. Also revealed is that the increase in reinforcement force is more pronounced in the upper part of the reinforced zone, resulting in a more or less uniform distribution. None of the design guidelines appears to be able to correctly predict the dynamic force increase when compared with the results of finite element analysis. The calculation model adopted by the NCMA guideline, however, appears to compare better with the results of finite element analysis as well as field survey than the FHWA guideline. Based on the findings from this study, a number of implications to the current design methods are discussed.

None of the design guidelines appears to be able to correctly predict the dynamic force increase when compared with the results of finite element analysis. The results demonstrated that there exist critical stiffness and length of reinforcement beyond which further increase would not contribute to additional reinforcing effect. Based on the findings from this study, a number of implications to the current design methods are discussed.

Retaining walls are used to prevent excessive movement of retained soils. Typical retaining walls include gravity, reinforced concrete, reinforced earth and tie-back. However, from a practical viewpoint there are still drawbacks among these often constructed retaining walls. New types of retaining walls constructed with precast concrete blocks are proposed. This type of retaining wall is incorporates each blocks interconnected with adjacent block by connecting unit to build up a flexible retaining-wall system. This paper focus to behavior characteristics includes deformation and distribution of lateral earth pressure by loading tests and FEM analysis. For model tests, a 1/10 scale reduce models are manufactured include unevenness part, drainage hole and connecting unit and steel wire used to connect each blocks with adjacent block. To simulate the real retaining walls closely, uneven parts are interconnected each other and the construction type of blocks and wall front inclination are varied to investigate the relative displacement of individual block and the location of maximum deformation of wall as increasing surcharging. Additionally, PENTAGON3D, which solve the geotechnical and other problem, used for verifying and comparing with model tests.

The paper represents an optimization algorithm for reinforced concrete retaining wall design. The proposed method, called Rao-3 optimization algorithm, is a recently developed algorithm. The total weight of the steel and concrete, which are used for constructing the retaining wall, were chosen as the objective function. Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-05) and Rankine's theory for lateral earth pressure were considered for structural and geotechnical design, respectively. Number of the design variables are 12. Eight of those express the geometrical dimensions of the wall and four of those express the steel reinforcement of the wall. The safety against overturning, sliding and bearing capacity failure were regarded as the geotechnical constraints. The safety against bending and shear failure, minimum and maximum areas of reinforcement, development lengths of steel reinforcement were regarded as structural constraints. The performance of proposed algorithm was evaluated with two design examples.
