Abstract

The performance of innovative prestressed support (IPS) earth retention system applied in soft clay was investigated and presented. The IPS wale system provides a high flexural stiffness to resist the bending by lateral earth pressure, and transfers lateral earth pressure to strut supports. The IPS wale system provides a larger spacing of support than conventional braced and anchored systems. The IPS earth retention system was selected for temporary earth support in a building construction in North Busan area. The excavation was made 28.8 m wide, 52.0 m long, and 16.1 m deep through loose fill to soft clay. The IPS system consists of 650 mm thick slurry walls, and five levels of IPS wales and struts. Field monitoring data were collected including wall deflections at six locations, ground water levels at four locations, IPS wale deflections at thirty locations, and axial loads on struts at twenty locations, during construction. The IPS earth retention system applied in soft clay performed successfully within a designed criterion. Field measurements were compared with design assumptions of the IPS earth retention system. The applicability and stability of the IPS earth retention system in soft clay were investigated and evaluated.

본 연구에서는 도심지 연약 지반에 적용된 IPS(Innovative Prestressed Support) 흙막이 시스템의 거동을 파악하고 안정성을 확인하였다. 새로운 IPS 흙막이 시스템은 강선의 인장 저항을 이용하여 띠장의 강성을 획기적으로 증가시켜 버팀보의 설치 간격을 대폭 증가시키는 공법이다. IPS 흙막이 시스템이 적용된 현장은 부산 북부 지역 내에 위치한 폭 28.8m, 길이 52.0m 그리고 굴착 깊이 16.1m 규모의 굴착 현장으로서 느슨한 매립토와 연약 점토로 이루어져 있으며 두께 650mm의 지중 연속벽, 5단의 IPS 시스템과 중앙 스트럿으로 지지되어 있다. 시공이 진행되는 동안에 경사계 6 곳, 지하 수위계 4 곳, IPS 띠장에 설치된 변위계 30 곳, 스트럿에 설치된 변형율계 20 곳에서 현장 데이터를 계측 수집하였다. 연약 지반에 적용된 IPS 흙막이 공법은 성공적으로 수행되었다. IPS 흙막이 공법의 시공을 통하여 공법의 적용성을 확인하였으며 현장 계측 결과를 분석하고 예비 설계 내용과 비교하여 연약 지반에서의 IPS 흙막이 공법의 거동을 확인하고 안정성을 평가하였다.
