In this paper, the active lateral earth pressure is evaluated using the stress characteristics or slip line method. The lateral earth pressure is expressed as the lateral earth pressure coefficients due to the surcharge, the unit weight and cohesion of the backfill soil. Seismic horizontal and vertical pseudo-static coefficients are used to consider the seismic effects. The equilibrium equations along the characteristics lines are solved by the finite difference method. The slope of the ground surface, the wall angle and the adhesion and friction angle of the soil-wall interface are also considered in the analysis. A computer code is provided for the analysis. The code is capable of solving the characteristics network, determining active lateral earth pressure distribution and calculating active lateral earth pressure coefficients. Closed-form solutions are provided for the lateral earth pressure coefficients due to the surcharge and cohesion. The results of this study have a good agreement with other reported results. The effects of the geometry of the retaining wall, the soil and soil-wall interface parameters are evaluated. Non-dimensional graphs are presented for the active lateral earth pressure coefficients.

본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 설치한 원형수직터널에서 아칭효과를 고려한 토압의 거동 특성을 분석하기 위해 실제의 응력상태를 재현할 수 있는 원심모형실험(centrifuge model test)을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 직경 6.0m, 높이 15.0m의 원형수직터널을 대상으로 축소모형 실험체를 제작하였으며, 중력장 75G를 가속하여 2회 반복실험을 수행하였다. 더불어, 지반굴착에 따른 토압의 거동특성과 크기를 분석하기 위하여 모형 수직터널 벽체를 2단으로 분리하여 굴착효과를 모사하였으며, 그 결과를 선행연구에서 제안한 이론토압식과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 원형수직터널에 작용하는 토압은 기존의 2차원(Ko) 토압에 비해 약 70% 가까이 전토압이 저감되는 효과가 관찰되었으며, 이는 3차원 아칭효과에 의해 토압이 경감된 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a laboratory model test on utilization of recycled aggregates and crushed stone as vertical drains to use alternative material of sand in soft ground is performed. The vertical and horizontal coefficient of permeability of the recycled aggregates and crushed stone showed largely 1.2~4.0 times and 3.0~3.3 times greater than sand, respectively. Therefore, it showed enough to be an alternative material to the sand which had been being used as the vertical and horizontal drainage material before. The variations of pore water pressure with time showed constantly regardless of the load in all vertical drainage materials. When water level drops suddenly, the pore water pressure of the recycled aggregate and crushed aggregate is reduced to nearly zero. Therefore, it was applicable to the field because discharge capacity was similarity to that of sand. The settlement in crushed aggregates and recycled aggregate decreases gradually with the load increase. When water level drops suddenly, earth pressure in all drains materials was evaluated the equivalent drainage capacity similarity to sand because it show approaching the nearly zero.

본 논문은 급경사의 강성사면에 인접한 역 T형 옹벽에 작용하는 상재하중에 의한 연직 토압분포에 관한 실험적 수치해석적 연구결과이다. 강성사면의 조도, 사면과 옹벽 사이의 거리, 중력수준을 변화시킨 원심모형실험을 실시하고 옹벽 뒷채움재에 토압계를 매설하여 연직토압을 측정하였다. 상재하중에 의한 연직토압 분포에 관한 실험 결과를 기존의 두가지의 한계평형 해석이론 및 수치해석 결과와 각각 비교 분석하였다. 정성교(1993, 1997)에 의하여 제시된 보완 사이로이론과 흙쐐기이론을 사용한 한계 평형 해석법을 사용하였으며 그 이론을 확장하여 옹벽 배면 뒷채움재에 작용하는 상재하중에 의한 연직토압분포에 대한 특별해를 구하였다. 수치해석에서는 쌍곡선모델의 흙의 구성관계식이 적용된 FLAC 프로그램을 사용하였다. 수치해석에 의한 토압분포 산정 결과 원심모형실험 결과와 대부분의 경우에서 서로 일치하는 반면에 흙쐐기이론에서는 사면과 옹벽의 거리가 가까운 경우에 한하여 비교적 일치하는 경향을 보였다.

Knowledge of seismic earth pressure against rigid retaining wall is very important. Mononobe-Okabe method is commonly used, which considers pseudo-static approach. In this paper, the pseudo-dynamic method is used to compute the distribution of seismic earth pressure on a rigid cantilever retaining wall supporting dry cohesionless backfill. Planar rupture surface is considered in the analysis. Effect of various parameters like wall friction angle, soil friction angle, shear wave velocity, primary wave velocity, horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations on seismic earth pressure have been studied. Results are presented in terms of tabular and graphical non-dimensional form.

It is very important to determine the coefficient of earth pressure at rest accurately in order to estimate the behavior of soil structure. For estimation of K/sub 0/-value depending upon the stress history of dry sand, a new type of K/sub 0/-oedeometer apparatus is devised, and the horizontal earth pressure is accurately measured. For this study, 2 types of one-cyclic K/sub 0/-Loading/unloading models have been studied experimentally using four relative densities of the sand. The results obtained in this test are as follows : K/sub on'/ the coefficient of earth pressure at - rest for virgin loading is a function of the angle of internal friction Φ' of the sand and is determined as K/sub on/=1 - 0.914 sin Φ', K/sub ou'/ the coefficient of earth pressure at rest for virgin unloading is a function of K/sub on/ and over consolidation ratio(OCR), and is determined as K/sub ou/=K/sub on/(OCR)K/sup a/. The exponent α, increases as the relative density increases. K/sub or'/ the coefficient of earth pressure at rest for virgin reloading decreases in hyperbola type as the vertical stress, σ/sub v/’, increases. And, the stress path at virgin reloading leads to the maximum prestress point, independent upon the value of the minimum unloading stress. The gradient of this curve, m/sub r/ increases as OCR increases.

This study analyzed pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement through laboratory model tests in order to suggest the effective remodeling method in the case of reinforcing the upstream and downstream slope of deteriorated reservoirs that has no cores and filters or is not functional. The method of remodeling the upstream slope using dredge soil is first prevent seepage by installing the core, and the leakage water can be rapidly discharged through a filter installed on the downstream slope. Therefore, it is considered a highly efficient method of remodeling that reduces piping phenomena and increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir. The variation of earth pressure without the core and filter was greater than with it, while the change largely showed in the upstream slope, the downstream slope did not show any significant changes. The remodeling method of the downstream slope with the core appeared differently pore water pressure depending on the presence of the vertical and horizontal filters. In the upstream slope, the pore water pressure rises sharply, the base and middle gradually increased, and the downstream slope appeared small. The pore water pressure of embankment with a vertical and horizontal filter will be smaller than without it. The remodeling of deteriorated reservoir that does not have the function of the filter, the vertical filter must be installed in a position that is higher than the expected seepage line by removing portions of the downstream slopes. Since the horizontal filter is an important structure that provides stable drainage during an earthquake or concentrated leak, it is necessary to examine any change in the seepage characteristics depending on the filter intervals via three-dimensional finite element analysis, and it should be connected to the tow-drain to reduce the possibility of the collapse of the reservoir.

도심지 원형 수직구 굴착 시 주변 지반의 침하는 포장 하부에 설치된 인프라시설의 안정성 뿐만 아니라 상부구조의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 배면지반의 침하량을 예측하는 방법은 지반조건, 벽체 변위, 해석 방법 등에 따라 달라지므로 근접시공 설계자는 합리적으로 침하량을 예측해야한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 활용하여 굴착심도별로 지하수의 침투에 따른 영향을 고려하기 위해 비정상류, 정상류, 지하수를 고려하지 않은 조건으로 배면지반의 침하와 벽체의 변위 그리고 토압분포를 검토하였다. 수치해석결과, 배면지반의 침하량과 침하영향범위는 비정상류 상태가 정상류 상태보다 크게 발생하였으나 벽체의 수평변위는 반대로 정상류 상태가 비정상류 상태보다 크게 나타났다. 침하량의 크기는 굴착 깊이에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 굴착 깊이 별로 토사층에서 가장 크고 풍화암층, 연암층 순으로 감소하였다. 또한 수압을 포함한 수평응력값을 기존의 Rankine 토압식과 비교했을 때 토사지반에서는 유사한 경향을 보이나 암반층에서는 수치해석 결과보다 작은 토압형태가 나타남을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In order to investigate the characteristics of the lateral earth pressure at rest, under hysteretic $K_o-loading/unloading$ conditions, seven types of multi-cyclic models have been studied, using dry sand. For this study, the new type of $K_o-oedometer$ apparatus was developed, and the horizontal pressure was accurately measured. The multi-cyclic models consist of primarily 3 cases: (i) $K_o-test$ under the same loading / unloading condition, (ii) multi-cyclic loading / unloading $K_o-test$ exceeding the maximum pre-vertical stress, and (iii) multi-cyclic loading / unloading $K_o-test$ within the maximum pre-vertical stress. Results fromthe multi-cyclic model indicated that a single-cyclic model could be extended if the exponents for the unloading condition $(\alpha\;and\;\alpha^*)$ and the reloading coefficients $(m_r,\;and\;m_r^{\ast})$ were primarily dependent upon the type of model, number of cycles, and the relative density.
