Determining lateral earth pressure coefficient (EPC) K is a classic problem in geotechnical engineering. It is a key parameter for estimating the stresses in backfilled openings. For backfilled openings with rigid and immobile walls, some suggested using the Jaky's at-rest earth pressure coefficient K₀ while other suggested taking the Rankine's active earth pressure coefficient K_a. A single value was proposed for the entire backfilled opening. To better understand the distributions of stresses and K in a backfilled opening, a series of laboratory tests have been conducted. The horizontal and vertical normal stresses at the center and near the wall of the opening were measured. The values of K at the center and near the wall were then calculated with the measured horizontal and vertical normal stresses. The results show that the values of K are close to K_a at the center and close to K₀ near the wall. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the horizontal stress is almost the same at the center and near the wall, indicating a uniform distribution from the center to the wall. It can be estimated by analytical solutions using either K_a or K₀. The vertical stress is higher near the center than near the wall. Its analytical estimation can only be done by using K_a at the center and K₀ near the wall. Finally, the test results were used to calibrate a numerical model of FLAC2D, which was then used to analyze the influence of column size on the stresses and K in the backfilled opening.

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. Application of self-supported counterfort diaphragm wall was verified in this paper though comparing the design of self-supported counterfort diaphragm wall with the data monitored during excavation in Singapore.

본 논문은 암반지층에서 다양한 암반종류 및 절리조건들을 고려하면서 굴착벽체에 작용하는 토압에 대한 절리의 영향을 조사한 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 먼저 기존 선행연구에 대해서 살펴보고 그 다음으로 기존 선행연구의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 개별요소법에 근거한 수치해석적 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석은 매개변수로서 암반종류 및 절리조건(절리면의 전단강도, 절리경사각 및 절리군의 수)을 고려하였으며, 지반과 굴착벽체의 상호작용하에 발생된 토압의 크기 및 분포특성이 조사되었다. 이와 더불어, 암반지층에서 발생된 토압과 토사지반에서의 경험토압인 Peck토압이 서로 비교되었다. 비교결과 절리가 형성된 암반지층에서 발생된 토압은 암반의 종류 및 절리조건에 따라서 크게 영향을 받았으며 토사지반에 대한 Peck의 경험토압과 서로 다른 결과를 나타내었다.

통상 콘크리트 옹벽에 작용하는 수평토압 산정에는 Rankine이나 Coulomb의 토압이론을 사용하고 있으나 문헌연구결과, 실제 옹벽 벽체에 발생하는 변위인자에 의한 영향으로 벽체 중단부 이상에서는 주동토압 상태를 나타내고 있으나 벽체 중단부 하단에서는 주동토압보다 큰 토압을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 수평토압을 저감하기 위한 방안의 하나로 압축성 재료인 EPS를 벽체 배면에 설치하여 배면토체의 변위를 인위적으로 유발함으로서 수평토압의 크기를 저감시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. EPS에 의한 수평토압 저감효과, 최적의 EPS 포설두께 및 밀도를 알아보기 위한 실내모형토조시험을 실시하였으며 그 효과가 검증되었다. 실내모형토조시험에서 도출된 결과를 이용한 현장 시험시공결과, EPS 포설에 의해 약 20%의 수평토압저감효과를 가질 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

In this study, we analyzed seismic behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall through the model test in order to characterize the behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall during earthquake. A scale model test was performed based on similitude ratio in accordance with law of similitude due to time and financial constraints on real scale modeling experiments. Seismic resistance characteristics of each seismic waves were analyzed by assessing the variations measured through excitation of the excited acceleration of 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.15g, and 0.2g. The results of this study, it would be important to obtain reasonable and abundant data on ground properties and seismic design in preparation for earthquakes when assessing the safety of block type reinforced earth retaining wall confined to model experiment. Acquisition of those data and systematic analytical techniques are considered likely to have a significant effect on the decrease of structure damage caused by earthquakes in Korea which has recently witnessed frequent occurrence of earthquakes.

본 논문에서는 전면부 변형형태에 따른 보강토옹벽의 파괴거동을 탄소봉 모형 실험장치를 이용하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 실험에서는 모형 보강토 벽체의 전면판 변형 형태를 상부변형, 수평변형, 하부변형 등 3종류로 나누어 실시하였다. 변형된 벽체의 파괴선을 육안으로 확인하기 위하여 사진촬영 기법을 이용하였다. 실험결과 상부변형의 조건일 경우 파괴선은 포물선의 형태를,수평이동의 조건일 경우 파괴선은 매우 큰 원호의 형태를 보였으며, 하부변형의 조건일 경우 파괴선은 직선화된 대수나선형태를 보였다. 현재 설계에 많이 사용되고 있는 복합중력식 설계법의 가상파괴선은 하부변형 조건의 파괴선과 가장 유사한 형태를 보였다.

The Green Wall is the highest eco-system among a segmental retaining wall systems. Recently, the demand of high segmental retaining wall (SRW) is increased in domestic. The soil nailing system is applied in order to maintain the high SRW stability for steeper slope. However, the proper design approach that can consider the earth pressure reduction effects in soil nailing system has not been proposed. Hence, the purpose of this study was to provide the design and analysis technique of the segmental retaining wall reinforced by soil nailing. Also, in this study, various parametric studies using numerical method as shear strength reduction (SSR) technique were carried out. In the parametric study, the length ratio and the bond ratio of the soil nailing were changed to identify the earth pressure reduction effect of the retaining wall reinforced by soil nailing.

The purpose of this study is to present the application of WFS co-mixtures for retaining wall as flowable backfill. The fly ash, generated at the Tae-An thermoelectric power plant, was used in this research and was classified as Class F. Green Sand, Furane Sand, and Coated Sand, which had been used at a foundry located in Pusan, were used. Couple of laboratory tests and small scale retaining wall tests were performed to obtain the physical properties of the WFS co-mixtures and the possibility of backfill materials of retaining wall. The range of permeability for all the co-mixtures was from 3.0${\times}$10$\^$-3/ cm/s to 6.0${\times}$10$\^$-5/ cm/s. The unconfined strength of the 28-day cured specimens reached around 550kPa. Results of the consolidated-undrained triaxial test showed that the internal friction angle is between 33.5$^{\circ}$ and 41.8$^{\circ}$. The lateral earth pressure against wall decreased up to 80% of initial pressure within a 12 hours and the total lateral earth pressure is less than that of typical granular soil. It was enough to construct the backfill for the standard retaining of 6m with just two steps, like fill the co-mixtures for half of retaining wall, and then fill the others after 1 day. The stability of retaining wall for overturning and sliding increased as the curing time elapsed.

Cantilever sheet pile walls are subjected to surcharge loading located on the backfill soil and at different distances from the top of the wall. The response of cantilever sheet pile walls to surcharge loadings at varying distances under seismic conditions is scarce in literature. In the present study, the influence of uniform surcharge load on cantilever sheet pile wall at varying distances from the top of the wall under seismic conditions are analyzed using finite difference based computer program. The results of the numerical analysis are presented in non-dimensional form like variation of bending moment and horizontal earth pressure along the depth of the sheet pile walls. The numerical analysis has been conducted at different magnitudes of horizontal seismic acceleration coefficient and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients by varying the magnitude and position of uniform surcharge from the top of the wall for different embedded depths and types of soil. The parametric study is conducted with different embedded depth of sheet pile walls, magnitude of surcharge on the top of the wall and at a distance from the top of the wall for different angles of internal friction. It is observed that the maximum bending moment increases and more mobilization of earth pressure takes place with increase in horizontal seismic acceleration coefficients, magnitude of uniform surcharge, embedded depth and decrease in the distance of surcharge from the top of the wall in loose sand.
