Abstract

In this study, finite element numerical analysis was performed considering various influence factors(cavity shape and size, pavement thickness and size of traffic load) in order to analyze the impact factors in the underground of the road where the cavity occurred and to evaluate the stability of the ground. In order to verify the reliability of the numerical analysis method applied in this study and the results it was compared and analyzed with the results of previous studies and field measurements. The correlation between the influence factors was analyzed through the distribution of vertical displacement obtained from the numerical analysis results, the distribution of surface settlement and surface settlement, the distribution of the stress ratio, and the distribution of the safety factor. As a result, it was confirmed that as the size of the cavity and traffic load increased and the thickness of the pavement decreased, the vertical displacement and surface settlement at the top of the cavity increased. Also, the shape of the cavity was square, the stability of the ground was significantly reduced compared to the case of a circular cavity. Through these results, it was possible to confirm the overall stability of the lower ground of the road where the cavity was generated.

본 연구에서는 공동이 발생된 도로 하부지반에서의 영향인자 분석과 지반의 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 다양한 영향인자(공동형상 및 규모, 포장층 두께, 교통하중의 크기)를 고려한 유한요소 수치해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 적용된 수치해석 방법 및 결과에 대한 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 기존 연구 및 현장계측 결과와 비교·분석하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 얻은 연직변위분포, 지표침하분포 및 침하량, 응력비 분포, 안전율 분포를 통해 영향인자 간의 상관관계를 분석하였으며, 도로 하부지반의 전반적인 역학적 거동 분석을 통해 지반의 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 공동규모 및 교통하중이 증가하고 포장층 두께가 감소할수록 공동 상부의 연직변위 및 지표침하량이 크게 나타났으며 허용안전율 미만의 위험지반영역이 증가하여 지반의 안정성 감소가 크게 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 공동의 형상이 사각형일 경우 원형의 공동일 때보다 지반의 안정성 감소가 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 공동이 발생된 도로 하부지반의 전반적인 안정성에 대해 확인할 수 있었다.
