Abstract

The deformation behavior of the excavated behind ground due to the displacement shape of retention walls is predicted by numerical analysis, which can be performed using the artificial displacement method with elasto-plastic constitutive model. The displacement shape of the behind ground around the retention wall is similar to the displacement shape of the retention wall. However, far from the retention wall, it changes to the displacement shape of cantilever. The deformation (the settlement, the lateral movement) of the excavated behind ground can be decreased by restraining the upper displacement of the retention wall. The displacement shape of the retention wall due to excavation affects on the plastic failure zone and decreasing zone of stability of the excavated behind ground.

탄소성구성방정식을 적용한 유한요소법을 이용하여 흙막이벽의 변형형상에 따른 배면지반의 변형거동을 예측하였다. 굴착배면 지반의 변형형상은 흙막이벽 부근에서는 흙막이벽 변형형상과 유사하게 나타나지만 흙막이벽으로부터 멀어질수록 켄틸레버 형상으로 변한다. 그리고 흙막이벽의 상부변형을 억제시키면 배면지반의 변형(침하량, 측방이동량)을 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한, 굴착에 따른 흙막이벽의 변형형상은 굴착배면지반의 소성파괴영역 및 안전율 저하영역에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
