In Korea, the structure is mostly located on the upper part of the high embankment considering the geographical conditions at the time of expressway construction. Embankment was managed stepwise compaction according to height, but creep settlement of embankment itself may negatively affect superstructure. Reinforced earth retaining walls, which were recognized as flexible structures, were no exception to such geographical conditions. Especially, in the case of reinforced earth retaining wall located on abutment wing wall, damage due to differential settlement supported by pile, damage due to differential settlement and uneven settlement of reinforced earth retaining wall itself was frequently occurred. Therefore, in this study, the damage of reinforced earth retaining wall structure located on the high toe part was analyzed based on case. These data will be used as basic data for future maintenance.

As mentioned at the Davos World Economic Forum in 2016, there is now a worldwide wave of waves of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The flow of government policy and R & D research is also focused on fostering industries based on the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Research in the field of geotechnical engineering can also be a research that lags behind trends if it is not merged with the technology related to the fourth industrial revolution in the future. Therefore, this study analyzed the applicability of the fourth industrial revolution technology in the field of expressway maintenance.
