Abstract

Recently, construction of reinforced earth structure using geosynthetics has been increased because it has advantages such as construction efficient, cost effectiveness and appearance aspect against existing gravity or cantilever retaining wall. However due to the climate change in Korea excessive inflow of ground water and surface water from heavy rainfall could affect the stability of reinforced retaining wall seriously. So the discharge capacity of drains should be evaluated by using experimental method in the design of reinforced earth wall. In this study, instead of concrete block used in most of the retaining wall, eco-friendly porous soilbag was used. This paper describes the test method and result of the laboratory testing for determination of discharge capacity utilizing PBDs.

흙 구조물의 안정성은 물과 직접적인 관련이 있고, 강우나 침투수에 대한 충분한 대책을 세우지 않는다면 구조물에 큰 피해를 입을 수 있다. 최근 이상기후로 인한 집중호우의 횟수가 잦아짐에 따라 흙 구조물의 안정성에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며, 구조물의 배수에 대한 여러 가지 방법이 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연직 배수공법에 사용되는 PBD(Plastic Board Drain)를 보강토 옹벽의 수평 배수재로 이용했을 시 적용성 여부에 대해 평가 하였다. 특히 전면벽을 콘크리트 블록이 아닌 토낭으로 하여 시공성과 경제성을 높이고, 토낭과 연결재, PBD를 일체화 시켜 안정성을 확보하였다. PBD를 활용한 배면수의 투수능 시험결과 보강토체 사이에 자갈층을 포설한 것과 유사한 효과를 나타내었으며, 실제 현장에서의 수평배수재로 활용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.
