Abstract

In this paper, the centrifuge model tests were conducted for the sake of measuring three dimensional arching earth pressure while two step excavation of the vertical shaft. The results of the centrifuge model tests were compared to newly suggested arching earth pressure equation proposed by Kim et al(2009) and two dimension earth pressure(Rankine). As the results, Measured arching earth pressure revealed about 35 percentages of two dimension earth pressure(Rankine) and almost same as that of newly suggested arching earth pressure equation.
