The anchor block is a specially designed concrete member intended to withstand pullout or thrust forces from backfill material of an internally stabilized anchored earth retaining wall by passive resistance of soil in front of the block. This study presents small-scale laboratory experimental works to investigate the pullout capacity of a concrete anchor block embedded in air dry sand and located at different distances from yielding boundary wall. The experimental setup consists of a large tank made of fiberglass sheets and steel framing system. A series of tests was carried out in the tank to investigate the load-displacement behavior of anchor block. Experimental results are then compared with the theoretical approaches suggested by different researchers and codes. The appropriate placement of an anchor block and the passive resistance coefficient, which is multiplied by the passive resistance in front of the anchor block to obtain the pullout capacity of the anchor, were also studied.

The concept of using Steel-concrete (SC) composite walls as retaining walls has recently been introduced by the authors and their effectiveness of resisting out-of-plane loads has also been demonstrated. In this paper, an improved analytical formulation based on partial interaction theory, which has previously been developed by the authors, is presented. The improved formulation considers a new loading condition and also accounts for cracking in concrete to simulate the real conditions. Due to a limited number of test specimens, further finite element (FE)simulations are performed in order to verify the analytical procedure in more detail. It is observed that the results from the improved analytical procedure are in excellent agreement with both experimental and numerical results. Moreover, a detailed parametric study is conducted using the developed FE model to investigate effects of different parameters, such as distance between shear connectors, shear connector length, concrete strength, steel plate thickness, concrete cover thickness, wall's width to thickness ratio, and wall's height to thickness ratio, on the behavior of SC composite walls subjected to out-of-plane loads.

Color concrete is produced by adding white portland cement and coloring agent. In Korea, colorant added to color concrete is expensive, durability evaluation in external environment is not verified and there is a tendency to avoid color concrete pouring. Red mud with a water content of 50% was prepared in liquid form using appropriate mixing water and additives for recycling as a coloring agent, the liquefied red mud manufactured was intended to show the possibility of using color concrete. In this paper, the application of red mud as an industrial by - product as a coloring agent for color concrete was investigated for the practical use of liquefied red mud by liquefying red mud and producing retaining wall block. As a result, it was found that all of the specifications stipulated in SPS-KCIC0001-0703 are satisfied.

현재 옹벽해석에 사용되는 Rankine이나 Coulomb의 토압산정방법은 벽체 뒤의 토사가 파괴상태에 도달하였다는 가정조건에 근거하고 있으며, 이를 위해서는 충분한 횡방향 변위가 발생하여야 한다. 최근의 현장시험 등을 통한 많은 연구에서는 옹벽에 작용하는 수평주동토압이 Rankine이나 Coulomb의 토압보다 크게 나타나고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이는 발생 수평변위량과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 Drucker Prayer의 지반구성모델을 이용한 유한요소해석을 통하여 캔틸레버식 옹벽의 벽체 지주와 가상배면에 작용하는 수평주동토압을 발생변위와 함께 분석하였으며, 아울러 경사진 뒤채움이 수평주동토압에 미치는 영향도 검토하였다. 그 결과 옹벽에 작용하는 수평주동 토압은 발생변위와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, Rankine과 Coulomb의 방법은 작용수평주동토압을 과소평가하고, 경사진 뒤채움의 수평주동토압증가효과도 과소평가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 본 해석결과를 토대로 수평주동토압을 간편하게 산출할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다.

Retaining wall is a structure to stabilize the land slope as vertical retaining wall have constructed to make efficiency use of downtown area. Recently to commune with nature and refine a apartment and structure, natural friendly relations for retaining walls are tried to construct. The surface of the concrete walls are weave in various figures and colours, and in some places plant a shrub. Laying a landscape stone which have disclose a plane nature one means keeping up the natural slope, constructively safely set a anchor in front side and rear side wall between the natural stone, plant shrub or ground coverings to give shape into a rock. Natural stone is exposed of surface and planting the gardening, to be a type of natural friendly relations however that will be recycled. The size of blasted nature stone which is irregular become more natural type of one.

In recent decades, the protection and vulnerability of civil structures under explosion loads became a critical issue in terms of security, which may cause loss of lives and structural damage. Concrete retaining walls also restrict soils and slopes from displacements; meanwhile, intensive temporary loading may cause massive damage. In the current study, the modified Johnson-Holmquist (also known as J-H2) material model is implemented for concrete materials to model damages into the ABAQUS through user-subroutines to predict the blasting-induced concrete damages and volume strains. For this purpose, a 3D finite-element model of the concrete retaining wall was conducted in coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation. Subsequently, a blast load equal to 500 kg of TNT was considered in three different positions due to UFC 3-340-02. Influences of the critical parameters in smooth blastings, such as distance from a free face, position, and effective blasting time, on concrete damage rate and destroy patterns, are explored. According to the simulation results, the concrete penetration pattern at the same distance is significantly influenced by the density of the progress environment. The result reveals that the progress of waves and the intensity of damages in free-air blasting is entirely different from those that progress in a dense surrounding atmosphere such as soil. Half-damaged elements in air blasts are more than those of embedded explosions, but dense environments such as soil impose much more pressure in a limited zone and cause more destruction in retaining walls.

최근 보강토 공법은 구조적으로 안정성이 우수하고 경제성이 뛰어나 콘크리트 옹벽을 대체하는 공법으로 많이 사용되고 있으며, 옹벽뿐만 아니라 기초, 사면, 도로 등에 그 적용 범위가 다양하다. 그러나, 우수와 같은 침투수로 인해 전면 벽에서 충분한 안정성을 확보하지 못하여 붕괴, 배부름 현상 등의 피해가 발생할 수 있고, 특히 곡선부에서는 응력집중 현상에 의해 전면 벽의 균열 등의 문제가 추가적으로 일어날 수 있다. 이는 보강토 옹벽 곡선부에 대한 정확한 설계 기준이 미흡하고 부실시공을 하는데 원인이 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보강토 옹벽의 피해사례를 통해 문제점을 파악하고 유한요소 수치해석을 통해 보강토 옹벽 설계를 위한 기초 연구로서, 옹벽의 형상(볼록형, 오목형)에 따른 직선부와 곡선부의 거동을 비교 분석하였다.

The term "constructability" in regard to cast-in-place concrete construction refers mainly to the ease of reinforcing steel placement. Bar congestion complicates steel placement, hinders concrete placement and as a result leads to improper consolidation of concrete around bars affecting the integrity of the structure. In this paper, a multi-objective approach, based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is developed for optimal design of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls, considering minimization of the economic cost and reinforcing bar congestion as the objective functions. The structural model to be optimized involves 35 design variables, which define the geometry, the type of concrete grades, and the reinforcement used. The seismic response of the retaining walls is investigated using the well-known Mononobe-Okabe analysis method to define the dynamic lateral earth pressure. The results obtained from numerical application of the proposed framework demonstrate its capabilities in solving the present multi-objective optimization problem.
