A Method for Analyzing the Self-Supported Earth-Retaining Structure Using Stabilizing Piles
The self-supported earth-retaining structure using stabilizing piles (SSR is used from here) has the advantages of less deformation and less internal force compared with conventional cantilever retaining structure. It is easier to conduct the excavation when SSR is used for an excavation instead of using braced excavation with struts. The SSR is better than other methods to the 10 m shallow excavation depth in terms of economical and constructional efficiency when the ground is not very soft. However, this SSR method lacks a theoretical basis in terms of geotechnical engineering. The objective of this study is to develop a method of analysis by laboratory model tests. A variety of model tests were performed in order to analyze the behavior of SSR and the ground, and to measure the stress acting on stabilizing piles relative to excavation steps and earth pressures on the wall. The analysis reveals the failure mechanism of a wedge and then suggests a method for calculating a virtual supported point. These findings were incorporated into a method for analyzing retaining wall, stabilizing piles, and beams connecting two structures. Future research is geared toward developing a design program that uses the analytical methodology for this SSR.
