This thesis is an experimental and numerical research on bearing capacity acting retaining walls close to rigid slopes with stiff angles. Experiments were performed with changing the roughness of adjacent slope to the wall, its inclination, distance between wall and slope. Vertical stress and applied surcharge loads were measured by miniature earth cells and a load cel respectively. Stress distribution Vertical Settlement of surcharge load of rigid model footing were measured by LVDTs. Bearing capacities of surcharge loads were compared with theoretical estimations by using several different methods of limit equilibrium and numerical analysis. For limit equilibrium methods, the modified silo and the wedge theories, proposed by Chung sung gyo and Chung in gyo (1994) were used to analyze test results Based on those modified theories, the particular solution with the boundary condition of surcharge loads on the surface of backfill was obtained to find the stress distributions acting in the backfill and to compare with test results. From results of surcharge test with model wall being very close to the slope, analyzed results by the modified silo theory and to be in the better agreements than other methods.

Local deformations in back filling materials of two sands and one glass bead with different particle shapes behind a rigid retaining wall were studied. Two kinds of boundary conditions were compared: active wall translation and active rotation of the wall about its toe. Effect of the speed of active wall translation was also investigated. The digital image correlation method was used to analyze local deformation developments inside the materials. Test results showed that particle shape and density mainly influence the inclination angle and width of the shear band. The general shear band pattern is strongly dependent on the wall movement mode, while it was little influenced by particle shape. Within a limited range of wall speed in this study, shear band became wider and local deformation became larger with increase of wall speed.

Centrifuge model tests of cantilever retaining wall were performed to investigate the vertical stress distribution due to selfweight of backfill material. Model tests were carried out to find the effect of arching action on vertical stress distribution by changing the roughness of rigid boundary slope and the distance between retaining wall and boudary slope. A reduced scale model of cantilever retaining wall was made with concrete and Jumunjin Standary Sand with 80 % of relative density was used as foundation and backfill material. Centrifuge tests were performed by increasing g-level up to 40 g with measuring vertical stress induced by selfweight of backfill material. Test results on vertical stress distribution were analyzed and compared with results of Silo theory.

A seismic evaluation is made of the response to horizontal ground shaking of cantilever retaining walls using the finite element model in three dimensional space whose verification is provided analytically through the modal analysis technique in case of the assumptions of fixed base, complete bonding behavior at the wall-soil interface, and elastic behavior of soil. Thanks to the versatility of the finite element model, the retained medium is then idealized as a uniform, elastoplastic stratum of constant thickness and semi-infinite extent in the horizontal direction considering debonding behavior at the interface in order to perform comprehensive soil-structure interaction (SSI) analyses. The parameters varied include the flexibility of the wall, the properties of the soil medium, and the characteristics of the ground motion. Two different finite element models corresponding with flexible and rigid wall configurations are studied for six different soil types under the effects of two different ground motions. The response quantities examined incorporate the lateral displacements of the wall relative to the moving base and the stresses in the wall in all directions. The results show that the wall flexibility and soil properties have a major effect on seismic behavior of cantilever retaining walls and should be considered in design criteria of cantilever walls. Furthermore, the results of the numerical investigations are expected to be useful for the better understanding and the optimization of seismic design of this particular type of retaining structure.

The Coulomb and Rankine theories have been usually used for design of retaining walls, in which the earth pressures have been assumed as a triangular distribution For the rigid retaining w리1 with inclined bacuace and horizontal surface backfilled by cohesionless soils, the analytical method of earth pressure distribution has been newly suggested by using the concept of the flat arch. The active thrust obtained by this method agrees well with those by the existing theories, except the Rankine solution. The analyzed results show that the height to the center of pressure depends mainly on the inclination of the back wall and the wall friction, instead of 0.33H, where H is the wall height.

The concrete wall is the most useful of retaining structure which can obtain the engineering stability, but has problems that is not friendly with nature environment in a fine view, such as poor rear drainage, and shrinkage crack by temperature difference, etc. Because of this problems, the research for a segmental crib retaining wall has been performed. A segmental crib retaining wall is quickly and easily erected because is possible to be erected as the individual members, and is not sensitive to differential settlement and earthquakes. Also, it shows effective drainage and has a friendly advantage with nature environment because of being able to be planted with vines and shrubs in retaining walls The design of crib retaining walls has traditionally been based on classical soil mechanics theories. These theories, originally derived by Rankine(1857) and Coulomb(1776), assume that the wall acts as a rigid body. This assumption results in failure being predicted by either monolithic overturning or base sliding mechanisms. However, the wall consists of individual members which have been created a three dimensional grid. This grid confines an fill mass which becomes part of the wall. The filled wall resists the earth pressure with the same mechanism of classical gravity walls. Because of the flexibility of the individual segment, it allows relative movement between the individual members within the wall. The three dimensional flexible grid leads to stress redistribution when the wall is subjected to external or fill loads. Due to the flexibility and the stress redistribution, the failure of segmental crib wall consists of not only overturing and base sliding but the local deformation and the failure between the segmental members. It has been researched in the field that due to this flexibility and load redistribution, serviceability failure of segmental crib walls is unlikely to be due to overturning or base sliding. Therefore, in this study, the relative displacement appearance of retaining wall due to variation of inclination is measured to examine this behavior characteristics. Also, the behavior characteristics of retaining walls by surcharge load, and location of acting point of retaining wall rear, and the displacement characteristics and deflections are estimated about the existence and nonexistence of Rear Stretcher performing an role in transmitting earth pressure of Header and Stretcher organizing retaining walls. This research focuses on the characteristics due to the behavior of retaining walls. This research focuses on the characteristics due to the behavior of retaining walls.

This paper presents the derivation of an analytical expression for the dynamic active thrust from c-${\phi}$ (c = cohesion, ${\phi}$ = angle of shearing resistance) soil backfill on rigid retaining walls with wall friction and adhesion. The derivation uses the pseudo-static approach considering tension cracks in the backfill, a uniform surcharge on the backfill, and horizontal and vertical seismic loadings. The development of an explicit analytical expression for the critical inclination of the failure plane within the soil backfill is described. It is shown that the analytical expression gives the same results for simpler special cases previously reported in the literature.

이상적인 보강토옹벽을 구축하기 위해서는 시공중 벽체는 지반의 변형을 수용하고, 보강재의 인장력 발달을 도모하기 위해 안정성이 허용하는 한 연성이어야 하나 구축 후 공용중에는 안전성과 내구성 및 미관 등을 위해 충분한 강성을 가져야 한다. 따라서, 시공중과 구축 후 공용중 벽체의 조건이 상반되므로 국내에서 주로 시공되고 있는 현행 시공방법으로는 이 두 가지 조건을 충족시키기는 미흡한 점이 많다. 이를 충족시키기 위해서는 단계시공에 의해 일체형 강성벽체를 갖는 보강토옹벽 시스템이 필요하다. 사례 분석과 문헌조사 결과에 의하면, 단계시공에 의해 보강토옹벽을 구축하는 방법을 통해 기초지반 및 뒤채움재에서 발생하는 큰 변형을 벽체의 안정성과 관계없이 수용할 수 있고, 또한 보강토체의 변형유도로 보강재의 인장력 발달을 도모하여 보강효과의 극대화가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또, 일체형 강성벽체를 갖게 될 경우 주동영역에서의 구속압이 커져 국부전단파괴의 가능성이 적고, 보강재의 인발파괴의 가능성이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 단계시공에 의한 방법으로 일체형 강성벽체를 갖는 보강토옹벽은 보강토 이론에 충실하고, 안정성과 내구성이 탁월하므로, 향후 국내에서 철도 및 교대 분야 등에도 활용될 수 있다.

최근 국내에 사용되고 있는 보강토옹벽 공법은 전면체의 재질, 보강재, 축조방법, 축조경사에 따라 수많은 종류가 제안되었으나 각 공법에 따른 설계방법이나 상세검토항목 등의 규정이 명확하지 않으며 집중호우에 따른 붕괴도 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 보강토옹벽의 설계에 있어서 좀 더 안정된 기술적 접근을 위해 설치높이별 단면을 가정하고 단일 강도의 보강재를 사용한 보강토옹벽의 인발파괴와 높이별 최적의 보강재 조합을 산정하고 산정된 각 단면에 대해서 보강길이비(L/H)에 따른 안전율 변화를 통하여 보강재의 최적 설계와 다단식 보강토옹벽의 최적 설계 그리고 보강재인 토목섬유의 재질에 따른 최적 길이비를 산정하여 제시하였다.

높이 4m의 역 T형 옹벽에 다짐으로 뒤채움할 경우에 유발되는 토압을 측정하기 위하여 3개월 동안에 현장실험을 실시하였다. 옹벽에 작용하는 토압은 뒤채움이 완료된 후 시일이 경과함에 따라 큰 폭으로 변화하였으며, 옹벽의 변위와도 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 토압의 계측결과는 강성옹벽에 적용가능한 이론식에 의한 것보다 훨씬 크게 얻어졌었다. 유한요소해석에 의하여 얻어진 결과는 계측치와의 사이에 정량적인 차이는 있지만, 비교적 좋은 경향성을 보여 주었다. 그리고 기존의 이론식에서 보인 과소평가는 뒤채움이 진행되는 동안에 유발되는 옹벽의 변위 때문인 것으로 생각되었다.
