Abstract

Uses of geosynthetics as a reinforcing material for earth structures have ever increased due to their excellent economy. fine external appearance. and easy construction. In the current practice of geosynthetics. however, the lacks of the standardized method of evaluating the soil/geosynthetics friction properties and the inconsistency of conventional design methods develop confusion to the civil engineers. The purpose of site monitoring of the retaining wall reinforced by geogrids was to evaluate the applicability of existing design methods to, and performance of. CHAMSTONE wall system. Full scale field performance during and after construction was monitored by incorporating instrumentation including strain gauges on the geogrid and soil pressure cells. The difference of the reinforcing effects of geosynthetics embedded in the soil will be also investigated by comparing of the line and curve types of retaining wall reinforced by geogrids with block type facings.

본 연구에서는 블록형 보강토 옹벽에 경사계, 침하계, 토압계, 수직 및 수형 변위계, 스트레인게이지 등의 각종 계측기를 매설하여 시공 중 및 시공 후의 보강토 옹벽의거동과 전면벽체에 작용하는 수평토압의 크기 및 분포형태. 그리드에 발현되는 변형 형태 및 인장력의 크기와 침하특성 등을 옹벽의 직선부와 곡선부로 구분하여 분석하였다.
