Abstract

In the present study, a method of the three-dimensional limit equilibrium stability analysis of shape of the potential failure wedge for the concave-shaped excavation corner is assumed on the basis of the results of the FLACSU program analysis. Estimation of the three-dimensional seepage forces expected to act on the failure wedge is made by solving the three-dimensional continuity equation of flow with appropriate boundary conditions. By using the proposed method of three-dimensional stability analysis of the concave-shaped excavation corner, a parametric study is performed to examine the reinforcement effect of skew soil nailing system, range of the efficient skew angles and seepage effect on the overall stability. Also examined is the effect of an existence of the right-angled excavation corner on three-dimensional deflection behaviors of the convex-shaped skew soil nailing walls. The results of analyses of the convexshaped excavation corner with skew soil nailing system is further included to illustrate the effects of various design parameters for typical patterns of skew nails reinforcement system.

사면보강 또는 굴착면의 안정성 확보를 위해 쏘일례일링 공법이 종종 적용되고 있다. 그러나 오목형태 또는 볼록형태 모서리부와 같은 특수한 지역에 쏘일네일링 공법이 적용되어질 경우, 편기각보강형태, 즉 skew 쏘일네일 형태로 주로 시공쥐고 있다. 하지만, 지금까지 skew 쏘일례일링 공법이 적용된 굴착 모서리부에 대한 3차원 안정해석 및 거동분석 등에 대한 실험이나 연구결과는 미흡한 실정이며, 따라서 보강재의 배치형태, 삽입각도 및 길이 등 관련 설계변수값 결정에 관하여 주로 경험에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 따글윽 본 연구의 주된 목적은, skew 쏘일네일링 공법이 오목형태 굴착 모서리부에 적용되는 경우 이에 대한 3차원 한계평형 안정성 평가기법을 제시하는 데 있다. 3차원 예상 파괴흙쐐기의 형상은 FLAC 프로그램 모델링 및 해석을 통해 결정하였으며, 모서리부에 대한 3차원 침투수압 산정식의 제시 및 해석시 다층지반조건의 고려 등이 포함되었다. 또한 제시된 3차원 안정해석법 을 이용해, 관련 설계변수들의 모서리부 안정성에 미치는 영향 정도를 분석하였다. 아울러 기 제시된 볼록형태 굴착 모서리부의 3차원 안정해석 법을 이용해 skew 쏘일네일 보강패턴의 효율성을 분석하였으며, 또한 굴착과정을 통해 전면부 벽체변위 및 인접지반의 침하 등이 상대적으로 문 제시되는 볼록형태 굴착 모서리부에 대한 변위예측을 위해 준 3차원 유한요소 해석기법 및 중첩기법 등의 적용을 시도하였다.
