Abstract

In this study, the evolution of soil engineering property values according to excavation was analyzed through the inverse analysis for the OO deep excavation site located in Incheon. The stiffness of the ground was updated by comparing the horizontal wall deformation of the excavation support wall calculated by the finite element analysis at each stage of excavation and the value measured using an inclinometer. The updated stiffness was used to predict the response of the excavation support wall in the next excavation step. The finite element analysis method using the Hardening Soil model was used, and the stratum where the excavation support wall is located was selected as the stratum for the inverse analysis. The inverse analysis results showed that the stiffness value at the stiffness value at the initial stage of excavation is larger than the stiffness used in the original design. As the excavation proceeds, the stiffness calculated through the second inverse analysis was found to decrease compared to the value derived by the first inverse analysis. Therefore, it can be stated that the deformation of the excavation support wall can be accurately calculated through finite element analysis when an appropriate stiffness value is input according to the excavation stage.

인천에 위치한 OO 깊은 굴착 현장을 대상으로 굴착에 따른 지반 물성값의 변화를 역해석을 통해 분석하였다. 굴착 단계별로 유한 요소 해석을 통해 예측한 굴착 지지 벽체의 수평방향 변위와 현장에서 지중경사계를 이용하여 계측한 값을 비교하여 지반의 강성을 업데이트하였다. 업데이트한 지반의 강성을 다음 굴착 단계에서 굴착 지지 벽체의 거동 예측에 사용하였다. Hardening Soil 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석 기법을 사용하였으며, 굴착 지지 벽체가 위치하는 지층을 역해석 대상 지층으로 선정하였고, 그 지층의 강성값을 역해석 대상으로 선정하였다. 굴착 초기 단계의 지반의 강성값은 당초 설계에서 사용한 강성값에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다. 굴착이 진행됨에 따라 재역해석을 통해 산정한 지반의 강성값은 초기에 역해석으로 도출한 값에 비해 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 굴착 단계에 따라 적절한 지반의 강성값을 입력해야 유한 요소 해석을 통해 정확한 굴착 지지 벽체의 변형을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
