Abstract

Retaining walls with reinforced earth have been constructed around the world. The use of reinforced earth is a recent development in the design and construction of earth-retaining structure. It is believed that reinforced retaining wall has some advantages which make construction quite simple basically. It wilt take short construction time relatively, comparing, fur example with reinforced-concrete retaining wall. In addition, low price and easy construction will be good attractive points in practical point of view. In this study, five field-tests monitoring data for lateral pressures on geogrid-reinforced retaining wall have been compiled and evaluated. Based on field-tests it is found that horizontal displacements of the facing was measured to be about 0.19∼0.76% and that the maximum tensile strains of reinforcement was evaluated to be about 0.66∼1.98%. The maximum tensile strains, measured from each site, do not reach 5% of the practical allowable strain of the geogrid. And also it is found that the lateral pressure distributions of reinforced-earth retaining wall are close to a trapezoid shape like a flexible retaining wall system, instead of a theoretical triangular shape.

보강토 공법은 공사비가 저렴하고 시공이 용이하다는 점에서 토목공학 분야의 실용적 측면에서 가치가 있으며 기술자에게 큰 매력을 줄 수 있을 만큼 그 구조가 충분히 단순하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 5개 현장을 대상으로 각종 계측기를 매설하여 보강토 옹벽 벽체에 작용하는 수평토압과 보강재의 인장변형률 및 인장응력, 전면블록의 수평변위 등을 측정하여 보강토 옹벽의 안정성 및 토압특성을 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 보강토 옹벽은 전면블록의 수평변위의 경우 0.19∼0.76%로 작게 평가되었으며, 보강재의 최대인장변위는 0.66∼1.98%로 경험적으로 고려되는 보강재의 설계 인장변형률인 5%에 휠씬 못 미치는 것으로 평가되었다. 한편, 토압분포 특성은 기존 설계 방법에 이용되는 랭킨 이나 쿨롱 토압 분포 형태와 달리 연성 토류벽체에 작용하는 사다리꼴 형태의 토압분포를 나타내었다.
