To stabilize the excavations in urban area, soil anchorage is among the very common methods in geotechnical engineering. A more efficient deformation analysis can potentially lead to cost-effective and safer designs. To this end, a total of 116 three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of a deep excavation supported by tie-back wall system were analyzed in this study. An initial validation was conducted through examination of the results against the Texas A&M excavation cases. After the validation step, an extensive parametric study was carried out to cover significant design parameters of tie-back wall system in deep excavations. The numerical results indicated that the maximum horizontal displacement values of the wall (δ_hm) and maximum surface settlement (δ_vm) increase by an increase in the value of ground anchors inclination relative to the horizon. Additionally, a change in the wall embedment depth was found to be contributing more to δ_vm than to δ_hm. Based on the 3D FE analysis results, two simple equations are proposed to estimate excavation deformations for different scenarios in which the geometric configuration parameters are taken into account. The model proposed in this study can help the engineers to have a better understanding of the behavior of such systems.

Lack of technical standards, specification and inadequate execution in masonry wall construction in Korea lead to produce serious flaw problems such as crack, efflorescene, and upset etc.. The purpose of this paper is to present the practical details for Masonry cavity wall construction to prevent rain penetration and to accommodate differential movement between the inner and outer wythes of cavity walls. Considering rain penetration and differential movement of both wythes of cavity walls, provision of an adequate air space, an airtight back-up wall, clean cavity with weepholes and vents, properly positioned flashing, tie and shelf angle etc. depend on the cavity wall types will help ensure good performance. The present details included noncorrosive hot dip galvanized steel or stainless steel for metal components, plastic and ultra violet resistant polypropylene Copolymer for other components was taken into account the construction method and several types of cavity walls in Korea

Geogrid를 보강재로 사용하는 Keystone block 보강토 옹벽의 설계와 시공에 있어서 기존의 연구와 설계기준들은 전부 직선 구간에 관한 것들로서 곡선구간의 설계 및 시공에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정때 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 돌출형 곡선 부분의 시공성 및 구조적인 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 직선구간의 NCMA 해석법과 이를 이용한 곡선구간의 해석 및 시공상의 문제점 및 그 원인을 분석하여, 이에 따른 설계 및 시공시의 문제점과 대책을 강구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 곡선구간을 Shell 해석에 의해 직선구간과의 변위 및 응력들의 차이점을 규명하고 이를 이용하여 돌출형 곡선구간의 Keystone block wall의 문제점 분석 및 대책강구를 위한 기초자료 연구에 목적을 두고 있다.

Retaining walls are used to prevent excessive movement of retained soils. Typical retaining walls include gravity, reinforced concrete, reinforced earth and tie-back. However, from a practical viewpoint there are still drawbacks among these often constructed retaining walls. New types of retaining walls constructed with precast concrete blocks are proposed. This type of retaining wall is incorporates each blocks interconnected with adjacent block by connecting unit to build up a flexible retaining-wall system. This paper focus to behavior characteristics includes deformation and distribution of lateral earth pressure by loading tests and FEM analysis. For model tests, a 1/10 scale reduce models are manufactured include unevenness part, drainage hole and connecting unit and steel wire used to connect each blocks with adjacent block. To simulate the real retaining walls closely, uneven parts are interconnected each other and the construction type of blocks and wall front inclination are varied to investigate the relative displacement of individual block and the location of maximum deformation of wall as increasing surcharging. Additionally, PENTAGON3D, which solve the geotechnical and other problem, used for verifying and comparing with model tests.
