Abstract

Geobag method is an eco-friendly method to minimize the impact on the environment in the construction of retaining wall structure as a kind of geosynthetic reinforced retaining walls. In this study, evaluated behavior of full scaled geobag retaining wall about four different types of geobag retaining walls, that is, non-compacted geobags wall, compacted geobag wall, combination of longitudinal and transversal laied geobags wall, gabion and geobag wall were constructed in the field with instrumentation. Based on the results of field measurement, transversal layered geobag wall for non-compacted case was displaced 30% more than that of mixed gabion wall. Also, the more than 2m geobag walls without reinforcement at the backfill area are turned out to be unstable in terms of wall displacement. On the one hand, the distribution of the earth pressure for all geobag retaining walls sites show within the range of Rankine's and Coulomb's earth pressure after construction. But after intensity rainfall, the transversal laied geobag walls significantly increment of soil pressure. The geobag walls which constructed in the way of mixed wall systems such as gabion and geobag, longitudinal and transversal laied geobags are much stable with comparison of transversal laied geobag wall.

식생토낭 공법은 토목섬유 콘테이너 공법의 일종으로 옹벽건설시 시공환경에 따른 영향을 최소화할 수 있으며, 자연친화적 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 식생토낭 보강토벽 시공방법을 식생토낭 비다짐 옹벽, 식생토낭 다짐 옹벽, 중력및 일반쌓기 혼용 옹벽, 게비온과 일반쌓기 혼용 옹벽 등 4가지 시공방법 대하여 계측기를 매설하고, 식생토낭 보강토벽의 거동특성을 평가하였다. 시공계측 결과, 식생토낭 일반쌓기 비다짐 구간에서의 변위가 게비온과 식생토낭 혼용구간 보다 최대 30%이상 발생하였다. 또한, 뒤채움부 무보강 2m이상 식생토낭 보강토벽은 변위에 대해 불안정한 것으로 평가되었다. 한편, 토압의 분포는 시공직후 모든 구간 Rankine 및 Coulomb의 주동토압 이내에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 집중강우 이후 일반쌓기 구간은 토압의 증가폭이 크게 나타났으며, 게비온과 일반쌓기 혼용구간이 일반쌓기 구간과 비교하여 보다 안정한 것으로 평가되었다.
