Abstract

The Inclined Earth Retaining Structure (IER) is the structure using an integrated system of both front supports and inclined back supports to increase the stability for excavation. The IER is a structurally stable temporary excavation method using the back supports restraining the lateral displacement of the front supports as stabilizing piles. The back supports connected to the front supports significantly reduce the earth pressure acting on both the front wall and the front supports by distributing it to the back supports in order to increase the structural stability. In this study, mechanical behaviors of IER according to the head connection type using fixed- or hinge-connection were found by performing numerical analysis and laboratory model tests in the sandy ground. The maximum lateral displacement of fixed-connection was 88% of that of hinge-connection in the numerical analysis. The lateral displacement of fixed-connection was 7% of that of hinge-connection in the laboratory model test results. Furthermore, the earth pressure of the fixed-connection was 67% of that of the hinge-connection in the shear-strain analysis results of the model ground.

IER은 굴착 중에 안정성을 증가시키기 위해서 전면지주에 배면지주를 기울어지게 설치하고 강결시킨 구조이다. IER은 배면지주가 억지말뚝의 역할을 함으로써 전면지주에 발생하는 수평변위를 억제하는 효과가 있고, 전면지주에 작용하는 토압을 분산 시켜 구조적으로 안정한 가시설 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에서 수치해석과 실내모형실험을 통해 IER의 두부를 강결과 힌지로 조건을 다르게 연결하여 IER의 역학적 특성을 확인하였다. 수치해석 결과, 최대수평변위는 두부의 연결 방법이 강결일 때 힌지일 때의 88%가 발생하고 실내모형실험 결과, 수평변위는 두부 연결 방법이 강결일 때 힌지일 때의 단지 7%만 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 지반의 전단변형 해석 결과 토압은 두부의 연결 방법이 강결일 때 힌지일 때의 67%만 작용하는 것으로 분석되었다.
