  • 가시설 공사는 자연환경에서 영구 구조물에 대한 시공을 수행하기 위해서 필요한 접근공간을 제공한다. 흙막이 공법과 같이 가시설 공사의 안정성을 높이기 위해서는 가시설에 작용하는 외부영향요인을 찾고, 이에 대응하기 위한 설계기능을 구현해야 한다. 즉 외부영향요인이 가시설 성능에 가져오는 영향을 최소화하기 위한 설계요소와 설계요소의 수준을 찾아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가설공사의 대표적인 공법인 흙막이 공법을 대상으로 가시설 설계시 고려해야 할 외부영향요인을 분석하고, 영향요소를 최소화하기 위한 내부영향요인으로써 설계기능의 개선방안을 제시한다. 설계기능 구현시에는 다구찌 기법을 적용하여 설계요소에 대한 체계적인 평가를 실시하여 가치향상을 분석했다. 적용사례에서는 외부영향요인의 영향을 가장 적게 받으면서 제품특성의 목표치에 가장 근접한 설계인자의 조건을 찾았다. 시범사례에서는 다구찌 기법을 적용하여 흙막이 설계기능을 구현함으로써 외부요인의 변화에 적절하게 대응할 수 있는 설계기능을 제공할 수 있다는 것을 보여줬다.

  • 최근의 우리나라 지하굴착공사는 공법의 발전과 더불어 경제적인 부지활용을 위하여 대규모, 대심도화 되어가고 있는 추세이다. 굴착공사 대상은 자연상태의 지반으로 그 성상이 매우 복잡하며 다양한 특성을 지닌다. 지하굴착공사로 인하여 인접구조물에 변형을 주거나 과도한 토압으로 인한 벽체의 변형으로 흙막이벽 자체의 안정성에 심각한 문제가 생길 수 있다. 이에 흙막이 공사가 안정적으로 수행되기 위해서는 대상토질의 공학적 특성 및 지역적 특성을 충분히 고려하여 굴토계획을 수립하고 적절한 공법선정이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 흙막이벽의 수평변위 특성을 파악하기 위하여 기 시공된 현장 사례를 통해 굴착이 진행되면서 부터 완료되기까지의 계측자료와 수치해석 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 기 시공된 6개 현장의 계측데이터를 분석하였고, 탄소성보법 해석 프로그램인 SUNEX를 이용하여 변위특성을 파악하였다. 계측 및 해석결과 얕은 심도에서의 일부 변위가 제안값을 미소하게 초과하는 경향을 보였으나 대체적으로 최대수평변위가 제안값 범위 내에 있으므로 흙막이 벽체가 안정함을 알 수 있었다.

  • In the implementation of most civil structures, especially underground, deep excavations with a vertical slope are required. Using flexible retaining walls is applied as one of the ways to stabilize vertical holes. Therefore, it is necessary to know the parameters affecting the performance of such walls in reducing their horizontal movement. In this research, by building a suitable laboratory model, the parameters of the amount of flexibility, the embedment depth of the wall, the type and number of tieback in the wall were investigated for 42 static laboratory models. The purpose of this research is to study the flexible retaining wall with helical tieback compared to simple tieback at different heights, which shows the best performance in terms of reducing horizontal displacement in proportion to increasing or decreasing flexibility. On the other hand, one of the parameters affecting the flexibility of the wall, which is its bending stiffness, was extracted by numerical software outputs and studied on the results such as relative flexibility, stiffness, safety and numerical stability of the wall.The results of this study show that among the parameters, in the first place, the effect of the type of tieback is inhibited and in the second place, the ratio of thickness to wall height is known as the most important parameter. the best performance for walls with the helical tiebacks in reducing their horizontal displacement can be economically, flexibly and stability assigned to a wall that tiebacks is in the range of H2/t to H4/t and its flexibility ratio is 2/3.

  • 본 연구에서는 탄소성 지반에서 지반스프링의 Coupling을 고려하여 토류벽의 거동을 해석하였다. 수치해석을 위해 벽체 양측의 지반을 탄소성 스프링으로 단순화하였고, 지반반력계수의 산정을 위해서 Terzaghi가 제안한 주동 및 수동상태에 필요한 수평변위를 p-y 특성곡선에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전산프로그램의 신뢰성은 기존 컴퓨터 프로그램 및 현장 실측치와의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 검증결과 지반스프링의 Coupling을 고려한 경우가 현장 실측치의 변위 및 토압에 접근함을 알 수 있었고, 모래질 흙에서 주동상태에 필요한 수평변위의 변화가 벽체의 변위에 이주 작은 영향만을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Application of anchored or strutted wall system for the earth retention of excavation works in a populated urban area or a poor soil deposit can be limited due to various restrictions. Since the strut becomes longer in a wide excavation site, the stability of an earth retaining wall is decreased, the wall deformation is increased, and the ground settlement is also increased due to an increased buckling or bending deformation of struts. Especially, in a populated urban area, the installation of anchors can be problematic due to the property line of adjacent structures or facilities. Thus, a new concept of earth retaining system like Self-Supported diaphragm Wall can solve several problems expected to occur during excavation in the urban area. In this study, Numerical analyses of counterfort diaphragm wall was introduced and the monitored data from the site was compared with the original results of numerical analyses. Also, in the case of the deep excavation applied the counterfort diaphragm wall, numerical analyses was performed to predict the wall deformation and the reinforcement to reduce the wall deformation was suggested.

  • Recently the Permanent Uni-wall System (PUS) has been developed which improved the disadvantage of the Cast-In-Place Concrete Pile (CIP) and could be used as permanent retaining wall. In this study, joints between PUS and floor systems were developed. From analyses of the characteristics of design and construction of PUS, shear friction reinforcements with couplers were adopted for shear design of the joints. Twelve types of joints were developed which were classified according to the types of floor structures, wale, and piles of PUS. Two typical joints were tested and the joints showed satisfactory behaviors on the points of shear strength, stiffness, and serviceability. Especially the shear strengths were much higher than the design strengths due to the shear keys which were by-products in splicing shear reinforcements. However, the shear strength of the joint is recommended to be designed by only shear friction reinforcement because shear key is not reliable and too brittle.

  • Soil strength and failure surface geometry directly influence magnitudes of passive earth thrust acting on geotechnical retaining structures. Accordingly, it is expected that as long as the shape of the failure surface geometry and strength parameters of the backfill are known, magnitudes of computed passive earth thrusts should be highly accurate. Building on this premise, this study adopts conventional method of slices for calculating passive earth thrust and combines it with equations for estimating failure surface geometries based on in-situ stress state and density. Accuracy of the proposed method is checked using the results obtained from small-scale physical retaining wall model tests. In these model tests, backfill was prepared using either air pluviation or compaction and different backfill relative densities were used in each test. When the calculated passive earth thrust magnitudes were compared with the measured values, it was noticed that the results were highly compatible for the tests with pluviated backfills. On the other hand, calculated thrust magnitudes significantly underestimated the measured thrust magnitudes for those tests with compacted backfills. Based on this observation, a new approach for the calculation of passive earth pressures is developed. The proposed approach calculates the magnitude and considers the influence of locked-in stresses that are the by-products of the backfill preparation method in the computation of lateral earth forces. Finally, recommendations are given for any geotechnical application involving the compaction of granular bodies that are equally applicable to physical modelling studies and field construction problems.

  • 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.
