We present the accurate investigation the seismic behavior of the gravity retaining wall built near rock face based on numerical method. The retaining wall is a useful structure in geotechnical engineering, where the earthquake is a common phenomenon; therefore, the evaluation of the behavior of the retaining wall during an earthquake is essential. However, in all previous studies, the backfill behind the wall was usually approximated by a homogeneous region, while in contrast, in practice, in many cases retaining walls are used to support the soil pressure in, inhomogeneous, mountainous area. This suggests an accurate investigation of the problem, i.e., numerical analysis. The numerical results will be compared with some of recently proposed analytical methods to show the accuracy of the proposed method. We show that increasing the volume of the rock face yields decreasing the permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall built near rock face. Besides, we see that the permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall with homogenous backfill is more than permanent horizontal displacement of the gravity retaining wall case of the built near rock face in different frequency contents.

The investigation of retaining wall structures behavior under dynamic loads is considered as one of important parts for designing such structures. Generally, the performance of these structures is under the influence of the environment conditions and their geometry. The aim of this research is to design retaining wall structures based on smart and optimal systems. The use of accuracy and speed to assess the structures under different conditions is one of the important parts sought by designers. Therefore, optimal and smart systems are able to have better addressing these problems. Using numerical and coding methods, this research investigates the retaining wall structure design under different dynamic conditions. More than 9500 models were constructed and considered for modelling design. These designs include height and thickness of the wall, soil density, rock density, soil friction angle, and peak ground acceleration (PGA) variables. Accordingly, a neural network system was developed to establish an appropriate relationship between data to obtain safety factor (SF) of retaining walls under different seismic conditions. Different parameters were analyzed and the effect of each parameter was assessed separately. According to these analyses, the structure optimization was performed to increase the SF values. The optimal and smart design showed that under different PGA conditions, the structure performance can be appropriately improved while utilization of the initial (or basic) parameters leads to the structure failure. Therefore, by increasing accuracy and speed, smart methods could improve the retaining structure performance in controlling the wall failure. The intelligent design process of this study can be applied to some other civil engineering applications such as slope stability.

PHC-W 흙막이 벽체 공법은 연속시공이 가능한 공법이다. 기존 흙막이 공법에서는 지하수의 유출을 막기 위해 별도의 차수공법이 필요한데 반하여 PHC-W 흙막이 벽체 공법은 PHC-W 말뚝의 연결부에 차수제품을 삽입하여 지하수의 유출을 막을 수 있는 공법이다. 이 연구에서는 PHC-W 흙막이 공법에 적용할 3가지의 차수 방안을 선정하여 압력수조 실험을 진행하였다. 섬유팩내에 1액형, 2액형 우레탄을 주입하는 방안에서는 120kPa, 140kPa 이상의 압력에서 급격한 누수가 발생되었으며, 섬유팩내에 그라우팅하는 방안에서는 120kPa 이상의 압력에서 급격한 누수가 발생되었으며 이 방안에서는 차수재의 상단부와 하단부를 우레탄으로 보강한 부위에서 누수가 발생하였다.

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.

The bearing methods using pile of steel itself or reinforced concrete has been applying which in excavated depth was not deep. Also, the retaining wall as resisting structure to lateral force has taken weakness that the cure periods of concreted is long. Recently, with the material cost of steel, the application of cement is more increasing trend. In this study, the design methods of earth retaining and retention wall within the pre-casted concrete pile, PHC(Pretentioned spun High strength Concrete piles), was proposed which in the ground condition of excavated depth was not deep. The typical ground conditions, cohesive and non-cohesive soil, was considered as follows; soil strength as internal friction angle and UU(Undrained Unconsolidation triaxial test) strength, soil reaction and stabilization of structures. The application of design methods could be confirmed through the comparing and analyzing between measured data and utility software for the design.

The use of geogrid for SRW systems and bridge abutment has increased rapidly over the past 10 years in Korea. The concept of segmental retaining walls and reinforced soil is very old and for example The Ziggurats of Babylonia(i.e. Tower of Babel) were built some 2,500 to 3,000 years ago using soil reinforcing methods very similar to those described in current design. Modern SRW(Semental Retaining Wall) units were introduced in 1960's as concrete crib retaining wall systems. In this paper, the friction properties between segmental concrete units and geogrid are investigated by performing various tests.

Structures to support against slop failures or resist earth pressure like masonry retaining walls or retaining walls have continued to advance and evolve to new eco-friendly, easy-to-construct, crib retaining walls with varied forms and construction methods, meeting the needs of the times. Researches until now, however, have focused on the analyses of site displacement or stability of the whole site including structures like retaining walls, and thus, researches on rational design or method for stability analysis are lacking. Therefore, this study was conducted on a number of stability analyses, such as the visual power line or stability on sliding, being presented for bin walls, which enable vegetation to grow and were developed and applied in varied forms, meeting the development demands for eco-friendly retaining wall structures. This study compared the results of stability analyses, determined their feasibility, and evaluated their stability according to the height and facade slope of retaining walls. According to the results of this study, traditional masonry retaining wall analysis showed rather conservative stability evaluation results in the stability evaluation of bin walls, and the method using the visual power line seems to be objective because it produced similar results to the stability evaluation method on sliding or turnover.

Developed is a new environment-friendly concrete-block retaining wall system. The conventional analysis methods are not directly applicable because the proposed concrete-block wall system is made of by interlocking the blocks with shear keys. Therefore, the shear analysis as well as stability analysis have been conducted to secure the safety of block-wall system. Overall slope stability analysis was also performed. An appropriate strengthening method was developed to ensure the safety when the block-wall system is relatively high. The method of analysis for strengthening the concrete-block wall system was also proposed. The proposed environment-friendly concrete block retaining wall system shows reasonable safety and can be a good construction method for retaining walls and river bank walls.
