Abstract

Uplift phenomenon occurs when the apparent unit weight of buried geo-structures becomes smaller than that of the liquefied backfill due to the increase of an excess pore water pressure during strong earthquakes. In order to explain the relationship between the uplift displacement of the buried geo-structures and the increase of the excess pore water pressure ratio in backfill, dynamic centrifuge model tests are conducted. In the present study, primary and secondary factors against uplift behavior of the buried geo-structures are considered in the dynamic centrifuge model tests. Among these factors, the most important factors affecting the increase in the excess pore water pressure ratio were the ground water depth, the relative density of backfill, and the amplitude of the input acceleration, which were also largely affect the uplift amount of the buried geo-structures.

강한 지진 발생 시 뒤채움내의 과잉간극수압의 증가에 의해 지반이 액상화 되었을 때, 주변의 액상화 지반보다 작은 단위중량을 가진 지중 매설구조물은 부상하는 현상이 발생한다. 뒤채움에서의 과잉간극수압의 증가와 지중 매설 구조물 부상량의 관계를 설명하기 위해 동적 원심모형 실험을 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는, 매설구조물의 부상현상에 영향을 미치는 요인으로써 직접요인과 간접요인이 실험에 고려되었다. 이러한 요인들 중에, 과잉간극수압비의 증가에 영향을 주는 중요한 요인은 직접요인으로써의 지하수위, 뒤채움의 상대밀도, 그리고 입력 지진가속도의 크기이다. 그리고 이 요인들은 지중 매설구조물의 부상량에도 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
