In this study, a series of shaking table model tests were performed to evaluate the dynamic earth pressure acting on pile foundation during liquefaction. The dynamic earth pressure acting on piles were evaluated with depth and pile diameters comparing with excess pore water pressure, it means that the kinematic load effect plays a substantial role in dynamic pile behavior during liquefaction. The dynamic earth pressure acting on pile foundations with mass exhibited significant similarity to those without upper mass. Analyzing the non-fluctuating and fluctuating components of both excess pore water pressure and dynamic earth pressure revealed that the non-fluctuating component has a dominant influence. In case of non-fluctuating component, dynamic earth pressure is larger than excess porewater pressure at same depth, and the difference increased with depth and pile diameter. However, in the case of the fluctuating component, the earth pressure tended to be smaller than the excess pore water pressure as the depth increased. Based on the results of a series of studies, it can be concluded that the dynamic earth pressure acting on the pile foundation during liquefaction is applied up to 1.5 times the excess pore water pressure for the non-fluctuating component and 0.75 times the excess pore water pressure for the fluctuating component.

현재 옹벽의 배면 동적토압을 산정할 때 주로 등가정적해석법인 Mononobe-Okabe 식이 이용되고 있다. 하지만 이식은 벽체와 뒤채움 지반간의 동적상호작용을 고려하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 벽체와 뒤채움 지반간의 동적상호작용을 분석하기 위하여 건조 사질토로 뒤채움한 옹벽에 대하여 진동대 시험을 수행하였다. 벽체 단위중량, 입력가속도의 진폭 그리고 벽체 바닥면 거칠기를 변화시키면서 이들 각 인자가 동적토압에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 벽체의 활동속도가 작은 경우에는 동적토압과 관성력간은 180도 위상차를 가졌지만 활동속도가 큰 경우에는 동적토압에 관성력과 동일한 위상을 가지는 작은 정점이 발생하였다. 동적토압의 크기는 벽체가속도와 벽체단위중량의 크기에 비례하였다. 또한 Mononobe-Okabe 방법으로 계산된 동적토압은 측정된 동적토압의 상한값으로 나타났다.

Dynamic earth pressure is considered an important parameter in the design of embedded structures. In current engineering design simplified methods developed either for yielding or non-yielding structures are utilized to predict resultant dynamic pressure. The applicability of these equations to embedded structures have not yet been reported. In this study we perform a suite of equivalent linear time history analysis for a range of embedded structure configurations. Numerically calculated dynamic pressure is shown to depend on the flexibility ratio (F), aspect ratio (L/H) of the embedded structure, and ground motion. Increase in L/H and intensity increases the magnitude of dynamic pressure. An increase in F decreases the dynamic pressure. Overall, the trends highlight the need for development of new method that accounts for F and L/H to calculate the dynamic pressure for the performance-based design of embedded structures.

In this paper, a dynamic centrifuge model test was conducted on a 24.8-meter-deep excavation consisting of a 20 m sand layer and 4.8 m bedrock, classified as S3 by Korean seismic design code KDS 17 10 00. A braced excavation wall supports the hole. From the results, the mechanism of seismically induced earth pressure was investigated, and their distribution and loading points were analyzed. During earthquake loadings, active seismic earth pressure decreases from the at-rest earth pressure since the backfill laterally expands at the movement of the wall toward the active direction. Yet, the passive seismic earth pressure increases from the at-rest earth pressure since the backfill pushes to the wall and laterally compresses at it, moving toward a passive direction and returning to the initial position. The seismic earth pressure distribution shows a half-diamond distribution in the dense sand and a uniform distribution in loose sand. The loading point of dynamic thrust corresponding with seismic earth pressure is at the center of the soil backfill. The dynamic thrust increased differently depending on the backfill's relative density and input motion type. Still, in general, the dynamic thrust increased rapidly when the maximum horizontal displacement of the wall exceeded 0.05 H%.

지진시 구조물에 작용하는 동적토압은 구조물 관성력과 동적토압의 위상관계에 따라 구조물의 변위에 대한 하중 또는 저항력으로 발휘될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 위상관계를 고려한 동적토압 산정 절차를 제안하고, 이 절차에 따라 교량 우물통 기초에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 구조물 관성력과 동적토압의 위상관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지반강성이 작아서 지반의 변위진폭이 구조물의 변위 진폭보다 큰 경우에는 동적토압이 구조물의 변위를 증가시키는 하중으로 발휘되며, 지반강성이 커서 지반의 변위진폭이 구조물의 변위진폭보다 작은 경우에는 동적토압이 구조물의 변위를 감소시키는 저항력으로 발휘되는 것으로 나타났다.

Knowledge of seismic earth pressure against rigid retaining wall is very important. Mononobe-Okabe method is commonly used, which considers pseudo-static approach. In this paper, the pseudo-dynamic method is used to compute the distribution of seismic earth pressure on a rigid cantilever retaining wall supporting dry cohesionless backfill. Planar rupture surface is considered in the analysis. Effect of various parameters like wall friction angle, soil friction angle, shear wave velocity, primary wave velocity, horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations on seismic earth pressure have been studied. Results are presented in terms of tabular and graphical non-dimensional form.

It is important to pay careful attention to construction backfill for the structural integrity of concrete box culvert. The stability of the surrounding soil is important to the structural performance of most culverts. Good compaction by the dynamic compaction roller with big capacity is as effective as good backfill materials to increase the structural integrity of culvert. However structural distress of the culvert could be occur due to the excessive earth pressure by dynamic compaction load. In this study, 16 box culverts were constructed with various compaction materials and construction methods. Three types of on-site soils such as subbase, subgrade and roadbed materials were used as backfill materials in the test program. Compaction methods were adapted based on the site conditions. In most cases, dynamic compaction rollers with 10 to 16 ton weights were used and vibration speed were applied from 2400 to 2500 rpm for the great compaction energy. Some backfill compactions with good quality soils were carried out to examine the effect of EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) panels with changes of compaction thickness. This paper presents the main results of the research conducted to access the engineering performance of the backfill materials. The characteristics of earth pressures are discussed. It is observed that subgrade and roadbed materials are needed more careful compaction than subbase materials. It is shown that EPS panels are effective to mitigate dynamic lateral earth pressure on the culverts. It is also obtained that the dynamic pressure depends on the soil properties. In addition, the coefficient of dynamic earth pressure (K$\sub$dyn/=ΔP$\sub$H/ ΔP$\sub$V/) during compaction is discussed.

This paper reviews the current seismic design code and research for dynamic earth pressure on retaining structures. Domestic design codes do not clearly define the estimation of dynamic earth pressure and give different comments for seismic coefficient, wall inertia and distribution of dynamic earth pressure using Mononobe-Okabe method. AASHTO has been revised reflecting current research and aims for effective seismic design. Various design codes are analyzed to compare their performance and economic efficiency. The results are used to make improvement of current domestic seismic design code. Further, it is concluded that the experimental investigation is also needed to verify and improve domestic seismic code for dynamic earth pressure.

The Mononobe-Okabe method is generally used to evaluate the dynamic earth force for the seismic design of retaining walls. However, the Mononobe-Okabe method does not consider the effects of the dynamic interactions between the backfill soil and the wall. In fact, a phase difference exists between the inertia force and the seismic earth pressure. In this study, shaking table tests were peformed on gravity walls retaining dry backfill sand to analyze the influence of several parameters (the unit weight of the wall, the input acceleration and base friction) on the development of the seismic earth pressure. The experiments revealed that the magnitude of the inertia force mobilized during seismic loading affected the seismic earth pressure. The difference in the phase angles between the inertia force and the seismic earth pressure was retained at 180 degrees before the wall failed but its magnitude changed significantly as the wall began to fail.

Mononobe-Okabe (M-O) 이론은 현재 국내외에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 지진 시 옹벽에 작용하는 동적토압 산정 방법이다. M-O방법은 강체거동(Rigid Behavior)을 갖는 중력식 옹벽의 사질토 뒤채움 지반에 대하여 제안된 방식이지만 현재 여러 지반 조건 및 캔틸레버 형태의 옹벽에도 널리 적용되고 있다. M-O 방법은 지진 시 발생하는 뒤채움 지반의 관성력만을 고려하기 때문에 벽체의 관성력이 동적 토압에 미치는 영향을 고려하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 M-O 방법을 포함하여 지진 시 옹벽에 작용하는 동적토압을 산정하는 기존에 제안된 방법들의 이론적 배경 및 현재까지의 연구동향을 분석하였으며, 이를 통하여 지진 시 토압산정의 중요한 요소인 동적토압의 분포 및 작용점에 대한 합리적인 재평가가 필요함을 도출하였다. 역 T형 옹벽을 대상으로 동적원심모형실험을 수행하여 지진 시 옹벽에 작용하는 동적 토압을 M-O 이론과 모형 모델 거동과의 비교를 통하여 차이점을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 지진 시 옹벽의 실제 거동은 M-O 방법의 가정과 달리 벽체의 관성력과 동적토압 사이에 위상차가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 벽체에서 주동방향으로 최대 휨 모멘트 발생 시 계측된 토압은 정적토압보다 감소하는 결과를 보였으며 이는 벽체 관성력이 원인인 것으로 판단된다.
