The reinforced retaining wall was introduced in the late 1980s and has been actively used since the 1990s in Korea 's expressway construction. At the beginning of the introduction, proper stiffeners and backfill materials were used and compaction management was thoroughly carried out, which was recognized as an economical and excellent workability method. However, the current understanding of reinforced earth retaining walls about 30 years old is a negative image such as inadequate reinforcement materials, backfill materials, insufficient compaction, and insufficient drainage system. In this way, the reinforced earth retaining walls that have been constructed in the midst of the negative perception are about 1,000 at the expressway site, and about 1000 will be completed in a few years and about 2,000 will be used. Most of the problems of reinforced earth retaining wall were found during maintenance, and countermeasures are suggested by tracing back to what problems were observed in the design and construction of the observed phenomena. The retaining walls to be installed in future maintenance should be minimized in designing and constructing to prevent problems. It is estimated that such a problem can be solved by changing the recognition. Therefore, in this study, damage cases of reinforcement retaining wall which is frequently occurred in the expressway of Korea were analyzed to derive the preventive maintenance method of reinforced earth retaining walls. Then, the problems and countermeasures were analyzed for each type of damage.

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.

This paper presents the experimental results of a Soil-Cement Composite Earth Retaining Wall comprised of reinforced concrete underground wall, H-shaped steel beams in earth retaining wall and fiber reinforced soil cement wall. Sixteen specimens are tested to evaluate the bending capacity of the wall. Main variables in the test are strength of concrete, arrangement of shear connector, soil-cement, and fiber reinforcement. Test results are as follows. (1) Composite member under positive moment showed 18% increase of the maximum strength. (2) After soil cement was reinforced with fiber by adding 1% of soil cement weight, compared to cases not reinforced with fiber, strength of under compression increased 7%, moreover, 30% of strength enhancement was shown under tension case also. (3) When the composite member resists positive bending moment (i.e., H-shaped steel beam is in compression), the strength is increased by 18%. Moreover, 7% additional strength enhancement appears after the soil cement is reinforced by fiber. As a results, fiber reinforced soil cement has strength enhancement effect up to 25%.

대표적인 산업부산물인 폐주물사와 플라이애쉬의 재활용은 매우 시급한 현안중의 하나이다. 이러한 산업부산물의 재활용을 위해 저강도 콘크리트 개념을 적용한 유동성채움재(CLSM)로의 재활용을 위한 기본 연구가 지난 3년간 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 폐주물사중 환경오염문제의 발생 가능성이 적은 것을 선별하여 CLSM용 잔골재로 이용하였다. 특히, 폐주물사에 화학약품처리를 하여 재활용 잔골재로 이용하는 방식사 역시 실험 재료로 이용하였다. 실험은 기존에 보편적으로 이용되는 뒤채움재 시공시 발생하는 사일로 토압에 대한 검증과 토압 경감효과에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과 CLSM은 기존의 뒤채움재와는 그 성질이 매우 달라서, 옹벽배면과 절개면사이의 거리가 짧아서 발생하는 사일로 토압효과는 나타나지 않았다. 이는 기존의 뒤채움재와는 상당히 다른 재료이고, 또한, 기존에 이용되는 각종 토압론의 공식적용에 다소 신중해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 사용된 잔골재용 시료중에서는 방식사가 가장 큰 토압경감 효과를 나타냈고, 사용된 CLSM의 잔골재 특성에 따라 토압경감 효과에 다소 시간적인 차이는 있으나, 그 절대값은 어느 정도 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 공용 중 보강토옹벽에 발생하는 배부름현상을 보강하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 현장실험으로 보강방법의 신뢰성을 파악 하고자 하였다. 보강토옹벽의 배수시설을 미설치하여 강우에 의해 배부름현상이 유도되도록 하였으며, 시공 후 15일간 변위속도가 크게 발생한 후 점차적으로 감소하였다. 유도된 배부름현상의 변위는 미연방도로국(FHWA)의 시공 중 수평변위 기준을 적용하여 판단하였다. 배부름 현상을 보강하기 위해 보강토옹벽에 소일네일을 설치하고, 네일의 두부를 수평으로 서로 연결하여 보강토 옹벽의 블록들을 서로 지지할 수 있도록 하였다. 보강재들의 보호를 위해 숏크리트로 보강면을 마감하고 계측장치를 설치하였다. 배부름현상 보강방법의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 변위의 진행을 검측한 결과 보강 후 수평변위는 거의 발생하지 않았으며, 보강방법의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The results of this study is purpose for applying safety construction as a top priority at field when designing for future.

Steel net gabion is eco-friendly retaining wall structure showing favorable ability to overcome construction and environmental restriction and also to resist corrosion, chemical attack and degradation. This paper is dealt with the applicability of gabion metal net as a substitution of existing strengthening material. Pull out test was carried out to verify the applicability of gabion metal net. According to results, the increase of surcharge loading and horizontal load resulted in a yield of metal net. The stress at the time of yield was in the range of elasticity. Accordingly, gabion metal net can be substituted for existing geogrid and there is a need for experiment and analysis of arrangement direction and durability of gabion steel net.

This paper presents eco-friendly planting method to overcome the problems of existing concrete retaining wall and gabion retaining wall, respectively, based on the examination on existing concrete and gabion retaining wall. Prior to doing this, proper design method was provided through pull out test. Planting method using gabion metal net and L shape green net retaining wall were compared and analyzed. According to this study, it is confirmed that reduction of construction period and economical profit in construction can be achieved by both manufacturing at the factory and self procurement at the job site as well as the use of metal net, which is applied as a substitution of existing strengthening material. For the effect of planting method, the use of L shape green net retaining wall shows superiority to environment-friendly gabion retaining wall in its ability to rootage and germination of the grass. The L shape green net retaining wall had excellent performance in helping rootage of grass and prevention of soil leakage, and even if raining period, remarkable damage of planting mat does not occur when planting mat is applied.
