Cantilever sheet pile walls are subjected to surcharge loading located on the backfill soil and at different distances from the top of the wall. The response of cantilever sheet pile walls to surcharge loadings at varying distances under seismic conditions is scarce in literature. In the present study, the influence of uniform surcharge load on cantilever sheet pile wall at varying distances from the top of the wall under seismic conditions are analyzed using finite difference based computer program. The results of the numerical analysis are presented in non-dimensional form like variation of bending moment and horizontal earth pressure along the depth of the sheet pile walls. The numerical analysis has been conducted at different magnitudes of horizontal seismic acceleration coefficient and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients by varying the magnitude and position of uniform surcharge from the top of the wall for different embedded depths and types of soil. The parametric study is conducted with different embedded depth of sheet pile walls, magnitude of surcharge on the top of the wall and at a distance from the top of the wall for different angles of internal friction. It is observed that the maximum bending moment increases and more mobilization of earth pressure takes place with increase in horizontal seismic acceleration coefficients, magnitude of uniform surcharge, embedded depth and decrease in the distance of surcharge from the top of the wall in loose sand.

Calculating the seismic displacement of retaining walls has an important role in the optimum design of these structures. Also, studying the effect of surcharge is important for the calculation of active pressure as well as permanent displacements of the wall. In this regard, some researchers have investigated active pressure; but, unfortunately, there are few investigations on the seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. In this research, using limit analysis and upper bound theorem, permanent seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge was analyzed for sliding and overturning failure mechanisms. Thus, a new formulation was presented for calculating yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. Also, effects of surcharge, its location and other factors such as height of the wall and internal friction angle of soil on the amount of seismic displacements were investigated. Finally, designing charts were presented for calculating yield acceleration coefficient and angle of failure wedge.

In order to analyze the behavior of piled abutment adjacent to surcharge loads a numerical study was conducted. In 2D plane stalin analysis, the distribution of lateral soil movement was investigated by varying the thickness of clay layer and the magnitude of surcharge loads. In 3D analysis, the magnitude and distribution of lateral pile-soil movement were studied for different cap rigidity. Based on limited parametric studies, a simple method is proposed to identify the lateral pressure of piled abutment adjacent to surcharge loads.

본 논문에서는 연약지반개량공법 중의 하나인 PVD공법에 의한 연약지반개량효과를 파악하기 위하여 일련의 수치해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 수행된 실내모형실험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 그 신뢰성이 검증된 탄점소성 3차원압밀 유한요소해석 방법을 사용하였다. 수치해석에서는 PVD의 폭과 상재하중의 크기를 다양하게 변화시키며 개량된 점토지반의 압밀거동을 재현하였으며 그 결과를 이용하여 개량된 연약점토지반의 압밀촉진효과에 미치는 PVD의 폭과 상재하중 크기의 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다.

기존 성토재하 방식의 연약지반 개량공법에서 제기된 여러 가지 문제에 의해 진공압 재하방식의 개량공법이 개발되었으며, 국내 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 현장에서의 침하관리시 동일한 하중을 재하하였을 경우의 진공압재하공법과 성토재하공법에 대한 침하량 비교 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 두 공법의 발생침하량에 관한 이론 및 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 연약지반 개량을 위해 진공압이 적용되면 내향의 수평변위가 발생하고 동일한 하중재하 대비 침하량이 감소하였다. Hooke의 탄성이론을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.54~0.67, 국내 설계기준에서는 0.50~0.75, 과거 국내 시공사례를 바탕으로 한 경우 0.91, 실내시험을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.81, 탄성론과 체적압축계수법을 바탕으로 한 경우 0.75, 최근 국내 대심도 시공 사례의 경우 0.77~0.93의 범위를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

This study has researched the following conclusion to compare to the existing theory and to examine lateral earth pressure, which have measured to add incremental load on sandy soil, and were different in types of compaction by modeling earth pressure test. Lateral earth pressure by incremental load shows that it is increasing at depth forty four centimeters as 2/3H point for wall high, and under 2/3 H point the variation of earth pressure on incremental load is not conspicuous. Therefor, the more a position of surcharge load is close with fixed wall, the more a variation of lateral earth pressure marks considerably. According to relative compaction density of soil, lateral earth pressure turns up larger effective value for layer compaction test to a thickness of thirty three centimeters than layer compaction test to a thickness of twenty centimeters by the roller.

The construction of container terminal at Brani, Singapore required the improvement of soft clay layer having the thickness of about 6.5m, average moisture content of 79.4%, liquid limit of 90.4%, plastic limit of 21.8%, field vane strength of 10 to 25 KPa, pre-consolidation pressure of 225 to 60 KPa and compression index of 0.4 to 1.0. For the improvement of this layer, Colbon drains of 1.3m spacing in triangular pattern were installed to the bottom of the layer and surcharge of more than 11.25m high sand fill was later applied to the treated area. The settlement and lateral displacement of the ground were measured and the speed of surcharge filling was controlled, based on these readings. The removal of surcharge was determinied using the estimated time for the 90% degree of consolidation under the design pressure of 180KPa. The field and laboratory test results show that the soft clay layer has been improved substantially in its strength and consolidation characteristics: increase in strength of about 50KPa and pre-consolidation pressure and decrease in void ratio and compression index.

건물의 지하외벽 또는 암거나 박스 칼버트와 같은 지하구조물은 되메움한 흙의 자중에 의한 하중 이외에 되메움이 완료된 후 주차장을 신설하거나 도로를 건설하면 차량이나 구조물에 의해 표면에 작용하는 점하중, 띠하중, 선하중 등의 외부 하중을 지자하게 된다. 이러한 상재하중에 의한 지중응력은 구조물에 영향을 받아 수평압력 및 연직압력을 증가시킨다. 상재하중에 의해 증가하는 지중응력을 계산하는 방법은 지반이 반무한 탄성체이며 등방성이고 균질하다는 가정하의 Boussinesq(1885)의 탄성론에 의한 지중응력 산정법과 지반은 등향적(imtropic)이고 균질하며 활동선이 Coulomb의 기준에 맞는다라는 가정하에 Krey(1936), Ohde(1952) 등의 소성론에 따른 산정법 및 이를 조합한 Schmitt(1992) 등이 제시한 탄소성론에 의한 산정 법등이 제시되었다. 본 연구에서는 탄소봉으로 지반을 조성한 후 되메움 공간의 크기가 다른 경우 그 표면에 등분포 띠 하중으로서 상재하중이 작용할 때 증가되는 수평토압의 크기, 벽체에 작용하는 토압에 의한 수직압력 및 굴착면 하부에 작용하는 연직토압을 측정하여 상재하중과토압의 관계를규명하였다. 또한, Mohr-Coulomb의 지반구성모델을 이용한 유한차분법 (FDM)으로 해석하여 그 결과를 실험 결과와 비교, 검토하였다.

In this paper, the active lateral earth pressure is evaluated using the stress characteristics or slip line method. The lateral earth pressure is expressed as the lateral earth pressure coefficients due to the surcharge, the unit weight and cohesion of the backfill soil. Seismic horizontal and vertical pseudo-static coefficients are used to consider the seismic effects. The equilibrium equations along the characteristics lines are solved by the finite difference method. The slope of the ground surface, the wall angle and the adhesion and friction angle of the soil-wall interface are also considered in the analysis. A computer code is provided for the analysis. The code is capable of solving the characteristics network, determining active lateral earth pressure distribution and calculating active lateral earth pressure coefficients. Closed-form solutions are provided for the lateral earth pressure coefficients due to the surcharge and cohesion. The results of this study have a good agreement with other reported results. The effects of the geometry of the retaining wall, the soil and soil-wall interface parameters are evaluated. Non-dimensional graphs are presented for the active lateral earth pressure coefficients.
