A Case Study on the Stability Analysis for Masonry Retaining Walls and Backfill

석축구조물 및 배면지반의 안정성 검토사례연구

In this paper, the stability analyses were performed for masonry retaining wallls in Seoul subway System. This masonry retaining wallls were reinforced with earth anchor system for the construction, but it was removed after construction. Therefore, the stability of masonry retaining wallls should be checked after the earth anchors removed. For stability analysis of masonry retaining wallls. FDM analysis(FLAC Ver.3.3) and slope stability analysis (SLOPE/W) were performed applying the test results from laboratory and field tests(Schmidt hammer test, cack examination). As conclusion, the tension force of earth anchors should be kept, therefore, substitutional method was required in order to keep the tension force of earth anchor system.
