Abstract

Static and dynamic train load tests were conducted to evaluate the train load transfer mechanism in the roadbed which was retained by two types (fully and partially) of segmental retaining walls reinforced by geogrid. The test roadbed was 2.6m high, 5m wide, and 6m long. A combination of earth pressure gages, displacement transducers, and strain gages were placed in specific locations to measure the responses. Test results showed that the wall displacement pattern as well as the earth pressure for the fully reinforced retaining wall was different from those for the partially reinforced retaining wall. In the dynamic train load test, the strain in the upper part of the wall tended to decrease, and both the residual deformation and the rate of the deformation were significantly lower than those in the current design standard.

지오그리드에 의해 부분 보강 및 전면 보강된 2가지 타입의 블록식 보강토 옹벽으로 지지된 철도노반의 열차하중 전달 메카니즘을 조사하기 위해 정 동적 열차하중 재하실험을 수행하였다. 실험 노반은 높이 2.6m, 폭 5m, 뒷 길이 6m로 구축하였으며, 소정의 위치에 토압계, 변위계 및 변형율계를 설치하였다. 실험결과, 2가지 타입의 블록식 보강토 옹벽으로 지지된 철도노반에서의 벽체 변위 양상 및 보강 정도에 따른 연직 토압의 차이를 확인하였다. 또한 동적 열차하중 재하시 벽체 상부에서 변형율이 감소하는 현상을 볼 수 있었으며, 열차하중 재하에 의한 잔류 변형율 및 변형율 증분은 현행 설계기준에 비해 매우 작은 값을 보이고 있었다.
