Abstract

Retaining walls have been used to prevent slope failure through resistance of earth pressure in railway, road, nuclear power plant, dam, and river infrastructure. To calculate dynamic earth pressure and determine the characteristics for seismic behavior, many researchers have analyzed the nonlinear response of ground and structure based on various numerical analyses (FLAC, PLAXIS, ABAQUS etc). In addition, seismic fragility evaluation is performed to ensure safety against earthquakes for structures. In this study, we used the FLAC2D program to understand the seismic response of the inverted T-type wall with a backfill slope, and evaluated seismic fragility based on relative horizontal displacements of the wall. Nonlinear site response analysis was performed for each site (S2 and S4) using the seven ground motions to calculate various seismic loadings reflecting site characteristics. The numerical model was validated based on other numerical models, experiment results, and generalized formula for dynamic active earth pressure. We also determined the damage state and damage index based on the height of retaining wall, and developed the seismic fragility curves. The damage probabilities of the retaining wall for the S4 site were computed to be larger than those for the S2 site.

옹벽 구조물은 철도, 도로, 원자력 발전소, 댐, 하천 시설 등 토압 저항을 통한 사면 붕괴방지에 활용된다. 동토압 산정 및 지진시 거동에 대한 특성을 파악하기 위해 많은 연구자들은 다양한 수치해석 프로그램(FLAC, PLAXIS, ABAQUS 등)을 활용하여 동적 하중에 대한 구조물과 지반의 비선형 거동을 분석하고 있다. 또한, 구조물의 지진에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해 지진취약도 곡선을 산정하여 확률론적 지진안전성 평가를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석프로그램 FLAC2D를 활용하여 뒷채움토의 사면 경사도가 있는 역T형 옹벽의 지진거동 특성을 파악하고, 옹벽 벽체의 상대적인 수평변위를 고려하여 지진취약도 평가를 수행하였다. 다양한 지진하중을 고려하기 위해 암반에서 계측된 7개의 지진파를 활용하여 각 지반특성 별(S2, S4) 비선형 지반응답해석을 수행하였고, 산정된 지진파의 크기를 5가지(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 g의 최대지반가속도)로 조정하였다. 본 연구에 활용된 수치해석 모델은 다른 수치해석결과와 실험결과, 주동토압 산정식을 활용하여 비교 검증하였다. 옹벽 높이에 대한 상대수평변위를 손상지수로 고려하여 옹벽의 손상상태를 결정하여 지진취약도 곡선을 산정하였다. 상대적으로 깊고 토층 평균 전단파 속도가 느린 S4 지반에서 S2 지반보다 옹벽 벽체의 수평 변위에 대한 지진취약도가 크게 산정되었음을 확인하였다.
