BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a prefabricated retaining wall block, and more particularly, to a prefabricated retaining wall block having an improved structure to allow more strong and rapid construction of the retaining wall by assembling block units with an improved engagement manner to enhance cohesion force, and a method for constructing the retaining wall using the retaining wall block.

Description of the Related Art

In general, the retaining wall refers to a permanent soil retaining structures constructed in a filling region, and the retaining wall is constructed for the purpose for preventing a loss of the sediment in a filling area, a cutting area or a seawall, to prevent a collapse.
Conventionally, although such a retaining wall construction was constructed by placing the reinforced concrete, recently, for simplicity of construction, the retaining wall construction has been widely constructed in a road embankment part construction, a construction for ensuring stability of a inclined surface, a bridge abutment wing wall construction, and other waterway and embankment construction by a masonry construction using the block.
As examples of the retaining wall block, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0752078 (registered on August 20, 2007 ) discloses a retaining wall which is coupled and fixed to fixing holes formed on both sides of the block and a fixing hole of another block using a fixing pin, the fixing pin being formed with a head portion at a top and a body portion at a bottom, and the retaining wall being constructed and coupled by fitting and coupling the body portion and the head portion of the fixing pin to the fixing hole of the block and the fixing hole of another block. The masonry type block of this type is also disclosed in EP Patent No. 1648609 .
In addition, when connecting the retaining wall by the prefabricated retaining wall block as described above, as an example of installing and constructing a geo-grid commonly used to increase the resistance to soil pressure on a rear side of the retaining wall, Korean Registered Patent No. 10- 0,505,127 (registered on July 22, 2005 ) discloses a reinforced soil retaining wall assembly that includes a geo-grid that is installed between the retaining wall blocks laminated by connecting a plurality of horizontal rods and vertical rods to form oval fastening holes to generate frictional force, a pulling resistance and a shear stress.
However, the above-described conventional patent has a structure that fixes the geo-grid, by placing a fixing rod around which the end portion of the geo-grid is wound on the groove formed on the upper surface of the block and by connecting other blocks thereon to fix the geo-grid, there has been a problem in which the construction period of the retaining becomes longer, and when the fixing rod is corroded, there has been a problem in which it cannot be fixed to the geo-grid in a wedge-type.
Also, although support rigidity of the conventional retaining wall block may be reinforced by a reinforcing core material placed vertically to pass through the block, since the adjacent blocks are not firmly united with each other, when a soil pressure is locally concentrated, there has been a problem in which the block is finally disintegrated due to a loss of the support force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals will be used to refer to the same elements throughout the specification, and a duplicated description thereof will be omitted. It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. are used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating the embodiment of the present invention.
In FIGS. 1 to 3, in a first block unit 100 for retaining wall construction according to the present invention, in a one side portion, as an engaging structure, engaging structures are formed at both side portions on a front surface forming the retaining wall front surface, a first protrusion 1 and a second protrusion 2 are formed in one side portion in a direction inclined to the front surface, and a coupling groove 3 is formed between the first and second protrusions 1 and 2. The shape of the coupling groove 3 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the first protrusion 1, which allows the first protrusions of the adjacent block units to be vertically inserted and assembled. The first protrusion 1 leads to an inclined surface toward the front surface 5, and a groove 6 is formed with which the second protrusion 2 of the block unit adjacent to the inclined surface 5 is engaged.
Further, a corresponding engaging structure capable of being coupled with the coupling structure of the one side portion is formed on the other side portion of the first block unit 100. That is, a first protrusions 11, a second protrusion 12 and a coupling groove 13 therebetween are formed in a point symmetrical shape with the first protrusion 1, the second protrusions 2 and the coupling groove 3 described above.
In this structure, the first protrusion 1 of the other side portion of the block unit 100' disposed adjacent in FIG. 6 is vertically fitted to the coupling groove 3 of one side portion of the first block unit 100, and meanwhile, the first protrusion 1 of one side portion of the first block unit 100 is vertically fitted to the coupling groove 13 of the other side portion of the adjacent first block unit 100' and is coupled by engagement. At this time, the second protrusion 12 of the other side portion of the adjacent first block unit 100' is engaged with the groove 6 formed in the inclined surface 5 of one side portion of the first block unit 100. The second protrusion 12 of the other side portion is formed at the end portion of the inclined surface 15 inclined from the front surface, and an inclined surface 17 and a groove 18 are formed at point symmetrical position in the same structure as the inclined surface 5 and the groove 6 of one side portion of the first block unit 100.
The inclined surface 5 of the one side portion and the inclined surface 17 of the other side portion are parallel to each other.
The first protrusion 1 and the second protrusion 2 are formed to be arranged at 90° in the embodiment illustrated in the drawings so that they are inclined at a predetermined angle relative to each other, and the inclined surfaces 5 and 15 are formed so as to be inclined to the front face of the block unit. The inclined surface 5 having the first protrusion 1 formed on the end portion is formed parallel to the inclined surface formed with the first protrusion 17 of the other side portion 11.
Thus, since the protrusions and the coupling grooves of the first block units 100 and 100' adjacent to each other are coupled by being fitted perpendicular to each other, the block units coupled to each other cannot be relatively moved in the horizontal direction and the front and back direction, rather than the vertical direction, and thus, the engagement coupling between the block units is not released in the horizontal direction.
Thus, the retaining wall can be rigidly constructed by engaging and coupling the block units, even without using another connection means as in the prior art.
The shapes of the first protrusion 1, the inclined surface 5, the groove 6 and the coupling groove 3 of the block unit 100 are repeatedly formed at a position rotated rearward at 90°, and an include surface 5' corresponding to the inclined surface 5, a groove 6, a coupling groove 3' and a second protrusion 2' are formed on the rear side followed by the second protrusion 2. Such an arrangement shape is similarly provided on the other side portion of the opposite side, a protrusion 12' corresponding to the second protrusion, a coupling groove 13', a first protrusion 11' and a groove 18 ' are formed at the rear side end portion of the inclined surface 17, and these are connected to the second protrusions 2' by a plane. Thus, since the first block unit and other block units to be described later can also be engaged and coupled with each other on the rear surface side of the first block unit 100, it is possible to construct a retaining wall by coupling the first block units in two or more rows if necessary.
On the upper surface of the first block unit 100, protrusions 20 protruding upward are formed on both end portions in the horizontal direction, a concave groove 22 having the same depth as the protrusion 20 is formed at the bottom of a position corresponding to the protrusion, a vertical concave groove 21 is formed on the top surface at a spaced position, a horizontal concave groove 23 is formed between the end portions of the two concave grooves 21, and thus, the wire grid can be locked and reinforced between the spaced vertical concave grooves 21 and the rear part of the retaining wall constructed in the central horizontal concave groove 23.
Thus, when vertically laminating the first block unit 100, the protrusions 20 of the upper surface are coupled to the concave grooves 22 as illustrated in the bottom view of FIG. 2 formed on the bottom surface of the upper adjacent block unit.
FIG. 4 illustrates a second block unit 200 that can be used by being coupled to the side portion or the rear surface side of the first block unit 100.
The second block unit 200 has a structure in which the shapes on both sides of the first block unit 100 are repeatedly formed to the rear part. That is, second block unit 200 has an engaging structure in which the structure of the same shape and arrangement as the shapes of the groove 6, the first protrusion 1, the coupling groove 3, the second protrusion 2, the inclined surface 5', the groove 6', the first protrusions 1' and the coupling groove 3' of the inclined surface 5 formed on one side of the first block unit 100, that is, on the left side are similarly and repeatedly formed on the right side of the second block unit 200 at regular intervals.
That is, on one side of the second block unit 200, that is a right side, an inclined surface 205, a groove 206 formed thereon, a first protrusion 201 formed at the end portion of the inclined surface 206, a coupling groove 203 formed adjacent to the first protrusion, a second protrusion 202 and the shape and the arrangement of the inclined surface, the groove, the first protrusion, the coupling groove and the second protrusion are similarly and repeatedly formed to be spaced apart from them at a predetermined interval
Further, on the other side of the second block unit 200, i.e., on the left side, an engaging structure is included in which the same arrangement shape as the inclined surface 15, the second protrusion 12, the coupling groove 13, the first protrusion 11, the inclined surface 17, the groove 18 and the second protrusion 12' of the left portion of the first block unit 100 is formed so as to be repeated backward at regular intervals
As a result, on the right side of the second block unit 200, each of the groove 206, the first protrusion 206, the coupling groove 203 and the second protrusion 202 is fitted to and engaged with each of the second protrusion 12, the coupling groove 13, the first protrusion 11 and the groove 18 of the inclined surface 17 of the left side in FIG. 1 of the first block unit 100 vertically downward. On the left side of the second block unit 200, the right structure of another first block unit 100 is engaged and assembled.
At least one through-hole 35 can be formed in the first and second block units.
Further, it is possible to construct the retaining wall by coupling the second block units to the rear side of the first and second block units 100 and 200 or by coupling a retaining wall block disposed in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1501930 (registered on March 06, 2015 ) registered by the present applicant.
Further, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the present invention may further include a third block unit 300 that has a relatively reduced horizontal length, while having the same engaging structure of both sides as the first block unit 100.
In the third block unit 300, the configurations of the groove 306, the first protrusion 301, the coupling groove 303 and second protrusion 302 of the inclined surface 305 on its one side portion, i.e., on the right side in the drawings, can be vertically engaged with the first and second protrusions, the coupling groove and the groove of the left side portion of the first and second block units in the point symmetrical shape, and meanwhile, the left shape is in a shape which is capable of being engaged with the right portions of the first and second block units and can be connected to the first and the second block units.
By forming the first to third blocks units with the different heights, for example, when locking and connecting the block units of the same height each other, in order to prevent a situation in which the upper block unit may horizontally slip with respect to the lower block unit, as illustrated in FIG. 12, when connecting the first block units 100 and 500 formed to have the different heights, it is possible to prevent a horizontal slippage by the adjacent block unit.
Hereinafter, a construction method of constructing the retaining wall, using the first to third block units described above.
First, as illustrated in FIG. 6,
The other first block unit 100' is assembled in one or more lines in a manner of being fitted downward from the top such that the first and second protrusions 1 and 2, the coupling groove 3 and the groove 6 on one side of the first block unit 100 are engaged with the coupling groove 13, the first protrusions 11, the second protrusion 12 and the groove 18 on the other side portion of another adjacent first block unit 100'. At this time, depending on the construction environments, another first block unit, a second block unit or a third block unit may be assembled behind the first block units 100 and 100' in the above-described engaging manner.
FIG. 7 is another embodiment, the second block unit 200 can be vertically placed on either side of the first block unit 100, and the engaging structures of its both side portions are coupled to further rigidly construct the retaining wall.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, by installing a geo-grid 400 or a wire grid 410 fixed to the rear side of the retaining wall between the constructed upper and lower first block units 100 as illustrated in FIG. 8, it is possible to increase the supporting force relative to the soil pressure of the constructed retaining wall. At this time, when installing the geo-grid 400 to pass through the horizontal protrusion 20 formed on the upper surface of the lower first block unit 100, and when assembling another first block unit 100 thereon a concave groove of the bottom surface 22, while the protrusion 20 is fitted to the concave groove 22 of the bottom surface, the geo-grid 400 is engaged between the protrusion 20 and the concave groove 22, the geo-grid can be stably fixed by weight of the first block continuously connected upward, even without a separate fixing means, and the retaining wall may support the soil pressure by the friction between the geo-grid and the soil to enhance the soil pressure support force of the retaining wall.
Also, in place of the geo-grid, the wire grid 410 may be locked through the vertical concave grooves 21 and the central concave grooves 23 formed on the upper surface of the first block unit 100 to be spaced apart from each other and may be fixed to the retaining wall rear side to reinforce the retaining wall. At this time, the upper surfaces of the concave grooves 21 and 23 are closed by the flat bottom surface portion of another first block unit connected on the upper surface to prevent the wire grid 410 from being disengaged.
FIG. 9 illustrates a construction example with increased soil pressure support force of the retaining wall only by the first block unit 100, or by assembling the first block unit and the second the block units 200 into a box shape in combination, at the time of installation of a retaining wall of a long section or when it is not possible to install the geo-grid or the wire grid.
In FIG. 10, the curved portion of the retaining wall can be simply constructed by sequentially assembling the plurality of third block units 300 at the side portion of the first block unit 100, and in the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to construct a retaining wall that is bent at 90° using the nine third block units 300. The number of the third block units 300 can be changed depending on the inclination angle of the first protrusion and the coupling groove formed adjacent thereto.
A finishing block and a corner finishing block disclosed in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1501930 registered by the applicant can also be used in combination for the first and the second block units 100 and 200.
FIG. 11 illustrates an example of constructing the retaining wall in an S-shaped curved surface by varying a coupling angle between the protrusions and the coupling grooves of the third block units 300. In this way, since the block unit of the present invention can freely construct the curved construction of the retaining wall, it is possible to efficiently perform the construction work.
In FIG. 12, the block units according to the present invention are connected to one another by making the heights different, for example, by mixing the first block unit 100 and a block unit 500 having a twice height thereof, the block units can be supported each other in the horizontal direction. Thus, a slippage does not occur, and it is possible to exhibit the same effect as a conventional displacement masonry system. The third block unit 300 can be finished in the retaining wall side end portion.
By vertically fitting and coupling the block units by an engagement structure of an inclined protrusion and a coupling groove, the block unit according to the present invention has a greater support force to the soil pressure in the front and back direction when the retaining wall is construction. In the case of the vertical displacement due to local subsidence of the ground, although a vertical crack occurs in the conventional retaining wall block at the time of ground subsidence to cause a collapse of the retaining wall, in the coupling of the units of the present invention, since upper and lower floating is allowable to some extent by the vertical engagement structure without damage to the block unit, it is possible to accommodate the vertical displacement due to slight ground subsidence usually generated after construction, and it is possible to prevent the damage to the blocks and the collapse of the retaining wall.
The block units of the present invention can be used to rigidly and quickly construct a retaining wall which prevents loss of sediment in an embankment, cutting area or a seawall.
While the invention has been illustrated and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined not by the detailed description of the invention but by the appended claims, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present invention.
