Abstract

In this study, a standard section of a railway bridge abutment wall was designed to satisfy the external stability condition in accordance with the design criteria; this design was used to compare and analyze the active earth pressure and to calculate various types of earth pressure acting on the virtual back (wall, plane) according to the frictional angle of the backfill materials. Also, the external stability, member force and construction cost were analyzed according to the frictional angle of the backfill materials using various theories of earth pressure such as Rankine, Coulomb, Trial Wedge, and Improved Trial Wedge. As for the results, it was found that lateral earth pressure at the virtual back plane was higher than at the virtual back wall, and that these values decreased with the increase of the frictional angle of the backfill materials. The increasing of the frictional angle of the backfill materials decreased the active earth pressure (according to Rankine, Coulomb, Trial Wedge, and Improved Trial Wedge results), and the member force as well as the construction cost were reduced.

본 연구에서는 철도 교대를 위한 표준단면을 선정하고, 선정된 단면에 대하여 토압산정방법과 내부마찰각에 따른 직배면과 가상배면에 작용하는 주동토압을 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 기존토압과 개량시행쐐기법의 토압을 이용하여 내부마찰각에 따른 교대의 외적 안정성, 부재력 및 경제성을 분석하였다. 본 연구로부터 가상배면에서의 주동토압은 직배면에서의 주동토압보다 크며, 내부마찰각이 증가함에 따라 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 기존토압(Rankine, Coulomb, 시행쐐기법) 및 개량토압(개량시행쐐기법) 모두 내부마찰각이 증가함에 따라 부재력은 크게 감소하였고, 경제성은 향상되는 것으로 평가되었다.
