Abstract |
For the cases of constructing reinforced earth and gabion walls on the soft ground. an appropriate replacement area of soft ground required to maintain the stability of walls was investigated by FEM analyses. Incremental analyses were performed in FEM, in which construction sequences including consolidation of soft soil layer were simulated. As a first step to suggest the appropriate replacement area. a series of analyses for cases varying the replacement depth were conducted to examine the behaviors of wall and adjacent ground according to the construction sequence. The analysis results were. then. evaluated with the proper limiting values of displacements of wall. settlements and shear strains of ground to guarantee the stability of walls, which were specified based on the literature review. Consequently. the typical construction drawings could be suggested. in which appropriate replacement areas for varying wall heights for the ground condition investigated in this study were represented in terms of the ratio of replacement depth to the height of wall
