초록

Back-to-Back 보강토옹벽은 좁은 구간에 양립하는 옹벽의 형식을 가지기 때문에 벽체간의 이격거리에 따라 보강재가 겹치게 되어 보강재 간의 상호작용에 의한 응력 변화와 일체화된 상태에서 전체가 거동하는 문제 등으로 설계단계에서 신중한 접근이 필요하나 현재 국내에 정형화된 설계기준이나 지침이 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구는 이러한 Back-to-Back 보강토옹벽에 대해 옹벽폭 대 높이비(옹벽폭비, Wb/H)에 따른 최적 보강길이비에 대해 고찰하였다. 옹벽폭비는 FHWA 설계기준의 Case II에 해당하는 1.1H, 1.4H, 1.7H, 2.0H, 높이는 일반적으로 가장 많이 적용되고 있는 3.0m, 5.0m, 7.0m, 10.0m를 대상으로 하였으며, 각 조건에서 수치해석을 통해 FHWA 설계기준의 적정성과 옹벽의 높이 및 옹벽폭비에 따른 최적 보강길이비를 제안하였다.

Since the mechanically stabilized earth walls have a form of retaining wall compatible with a narrow section, the geogrid overlaps according to the separation distance between the walls. There is a problem that the overall behavior may occur in the state of being integrated with the stress change due to the interaction of the geogrid. Therefore, a careful approach is required at the design stage, but there are currently no design criteria or guidelines in Korea. This study investigated the optimal reinforcement length ratio according to the retaining wall width to height ratio (width to height ratio, Wb/H) for these back-to-back mechanically stabilized earth walls. Retaining wall width ratio is 1.1H, 1.4H, 1.7H, 2.0H for Case II of the FHWA design standard, and the height is 3.0 m, 5.0 m, 7.0 m, and 10.0 m, which are most commonly applied. Through numerical analysis, the appropriateness of the FHWA design standard and the optimal reinforcement length ratio according to the height of the retaining wall and the width of the retaining wall were proposed.
