Shaking table tests and pseudo-static analysis were performed, in this study, on newly-designed aseismatic L-type caisson quay walls, which were constructed by extending the bottom plate of gravity quay walls into the backfill soil. The L-type quay walls are expected to give economical benefits by reducing the cross-sectional area of the wall while maintaining its aseismatic efficiency as much as the classical caisson gravity quay wall. To confirm the effectiveness of the L-type structure, the geometry of L-type quay walls were varied for shaking table tests. And, to verify the influence of backfill soils on the seismic behavior of quay walls, additional shaking table tests were performed on the L-type quay wall after the backfill soils were replaced by gravels and light materials. As a result, it was found that L-type caisson quay walls are good earthquake resistant structures but increasing the length of bottom plate did not proportionally increase the effectiveness of the structure in its aseismatic performance. Replacing the backfill soils by the gravels and light materials, contrary to our expectation, was not an effective measure in improving the seismic performance of L-type caisson quay wall.

육상 및 항만 구조물 설계시 적용되고 있는 토압 이론(Rankine, Coulomb, 시행쐐기법, 개량시행쐐기법)을 정리하였고, 구조물 형태에 따라 가상배면(Vitural back, wall, plane)과 구조물 벽면에 작용하는 토압 특성 등을 제시하였다. 토압 특성을 검토하기 위해 육상구조물의 경우 배면토 경사에 따른 캔틸레버식 옹벽과 벽경사에 따른 중력식 옹벽, 해상구조물은 케이슨식 안벽과 블록식 안벽을 적용하였다. 여러 가지 토압이론을 적용하여 뒷굽 길이에 따른 토압, 작용각(벽면마찰각), 벽면측으로의 활동각 등을 분석한 결과 뒷굽이 긴 경우 가상배면에서의 작용토압은 Rankine 토압과 작용각은 지표경사각, 뒷굽이 짧은 경우 Coulomb 방법과 작용각은 벽마찰각으로 산정하는 것이 가장 합리적임을 알 수 있었다. 벽면측으로의 활동각은 Rankine 이론에 의한 활동각보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 현재 적용되고 있는 여러 가지 토압 산정법 및 작용각 중에서 항만 구조물 설계시 적용할 수 있는 적정 토압 산정방법을 제안하였다. 제안방법은 뒷굽장단 결정과 이에 따른 적정 토압산정법을 결정하고 벽면 측으로의 활동각에 따른 옹벽자중 고려 방법을 설정하도록 하였다.

On Tuesday, January 17, 1995, an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 struck the Port of Kobe. In effect, the port was practically destroyed. After a hazard investigation, researchers reached a consensus to adopt a performance-based design in port and harbor structures in Japan. A residual displacement of geotechnical structures after an earthquake is one of the most important engineering demands in performance-based earthquake-resistant design. Thus, it is essential to provide reliable responses of geotechnical structures after an earthquake through various techniques. Today, a nonlinear explicit response history analysis(NERHA) of geotechnical structures is the most efficient way to achieve this goal. However, verification of the effective stress analysis, including post liquefaction behavior, is difficult to perform at a laboratory scale. This study aims to rigorously verify the NERHA by using well-defined field measurements, existing numerical tools, and constitutive models. The man-made, Port Island, in Kobe provides intensive hazard investigation data, strong motion records of 1995 Kobe earthquake, and sufficient engineering parameters of the soil. Two dimensional numerical analysis was conducted on the caisson quay wall section at Port Island subjected to the 1995 Kobe earthquake. The analysis result matches very well with the hazard investigation data. The NERHA procedure presented in this paper can be used in further studies to explain and examine the effects of other factors on the seismic behavior of gravity quay walls in liquefiable soil areas.
