Description

本発明は、河川等の堤防、道路・鉄道盛土等の河川、道路、鉄道等に沿って長く延在する盛土の補強構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a reinforcement structure for embankments extending long along rivers, rivers such as rivers, railway embankments, roads, railways, and the like.

従来、図7に示すように、盛土1の左右の法面1aの法肩1b(法面上端部で天端の左右側縁近傍)に、それぞれ、盛土1を貫通し、土圧のつり合いが確保される地盤に根入れされる深さを持つ矢板壁としての地中鋼製壁体2を、盛土1の長さ方向(連続方向)に連続的に配置し、これら二列の地中鋼製壁体2と、二列の地中鋼製壁体2で締め切られた地盤からなる構造骨格部6を形成する盛土の補強構造が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。また、左右の地中鋼製壁体2の頭部は、タイロッド10で連結されている。
この工法によれば、地震時に盛土1の沈下を抑制し、さらに、遮水性に優れる地中鋼製壁体が堤体としての盛土1の高さを確保することにより、高水時の浸透破壊と越水による破堤を防止でき、盛土1の補強として効果的である。
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, the slope 1b of the left and right slopes 1a of the embankment 1 penetrates the embankment 1 in the vicinity of the left and right side edges of the top end at the top end of the slope, and the earth pressure is balanced. An underground steel wall body 2 as a sheet pile wall having a depth embedded in the secured ground is continuously arranged in the length direction (continuous direction) of the embankment 1, and these two rows of underground steel A reinforcement structure for embankment has been proposed that forms a structural skeleton 6 composed of a wall-making body 2 and a ground closed by two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The heads of the left and right underground steel wall bodies 2 are connected by tie rods 10.
According to this construction method, the settlement of the embankment 1 is suppressed during an earthquake, and the underground steel wall body, which is excellent in water shielding, secures the height of the embankment 1 as a levee body. It can prevent bank breakage due to water overflow and is effective as reinforcement of embankment 1.

ところで、図7に示すように、洪水時に越水により、堤内側の法面1aの崩壊が進むと、盛土1より下側の基礎地盤5の地盤面1eが洗掘され、地中鋼製壁体2の耐力が失われ、ついには堤防としての機能を損なう懸念がある。
また、上述の二列の地中鋼製壁体2に地震時や洪水時に外力が作用した場合に、地中鋼製壁体2の上部の過度の変形を抑制する上では、上述のようにタイロッド10で二列の地中鋼製壁体2を連結する必要がある。しかし、タイロッド10が盛土1の天端近くに配置される構造であるため、地震時の液状化現象や洪水時の越水などにより、盛土1の天端1cの二列の地中鋼製壁体2の間の天端部分が少し沈下したり、少し削り取られたりした場合に、天端1c近くにあるタイロッド10が露出することになる。
By the way, as shown in FIG. 7, when the slope 1a on the inner side of the levee collapses due to flooding during flooding, the ground surface 1e of the foundation ground 5 below the embankment 1 is scoured, and the underground steel wall There is a concern that the proof strength of the body 2 is lost, and eventually the function as a dike is impaired.
Moreover, when external force acts on the above-mentioned two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 at the time of an earthquake or flood, in order to suppress the excessive deformation | transformation of the upper part of underground steel wall bodies 2, as mentioned above It is necessary to connect two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 with tie rods 10. However, because the tie rods 10 are arranged near the top of the embankment 1, two rows of underground steel walls at the top 1c of the embankment 1 due to liquefaction during an earthquake or flooding during a flood. When the top end portion between the bodies 2 sinks a little or is scraped off slightly, the tie rod 10 near the top end 1c is exposed.

タイロッド10は、盛土1の長さ方向に略等間隔で配置されているため、盛土1の天端1cを道路として使用している場合に、露出したタイロッド10が障害物となり、盛土1の天端1c上を車両で通行することが困難になってしまう。なお、道路用の盛土1だけではなく、河川7の堤防用の盛土1においても、天端1c部分が道路として使用される場合があるとともに、定常的に車両用の道路として使用されていなくても緊急車両用の通路として用いられる場合があり、地震後や洪水後に盛土1の天端1c部分を全く車両が通行できない状態となると混乱を生じることになる。   Since the tie rods 10 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the length direction of the embankment 1, when the top end 1c of the embankment 1 is used as a road, the exposed tie rod 10 becomes an obstacle, and the top of the embankment 1 It becomes difficult for the vehicle to travel on the end 1c. Note that not only the road embankment 1 but also the embankment embankment 1 of the river 7, the top end 1 c portion may be used as a road and is not regularly used as a vehicle road. May also be used as a path for emergency vehicles, and if the vehicle cannot pass through the top 1c portion of the embankment 1 after an earthquake or flood, confusion will occur.

本発明は、地中鋼製壁体で盛土を補強する構造において、洪水時の越水により盛土の法面が崩壊し、さらに地盤面が洗掘されることによる地中鋼製壁体の耐力の低下を抑制できる盛土の補強構造を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention is a structure in which embankment is reinforced with underground steel wall body, and the slope of the embankment collapses due to flooding at the time of flood, and the ground surface is scoured, and the strength of underground steel wall body It aims at providing the reinforcement structure of the embankment which can suppress the fall of tsunami.

以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
図1および図2に示すように、第1実施形態の盛土の補強構造は、例えば、河川の堤防として用いられるものである。盛土1の左右には法面1aが形成されている。
この盛土1の補強構造においては、盛土1の略天端1cの範囲内に鋼矢板3(鋼管矢板を含む)を連結した鋼矢板壁からなる地中鋼製壁体2が設置されている。なお、略天端1cの範囲内には、天端1cより少し外側となる法面1aの上端部である法肩1b部分も含まれる。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the embankment reinforcement structure of the first embodiment is used, for example, as a river bank. Slopes 1 a are formed on the left and right sides of the embankment 1.
In the reinforcement structure of this embankment 1, the underground steel wall body 2 which consists of the steel sheet pile wall which connected the steel sheet pile 3 (a steel pipe sheet pile is included) in the range of the substantially top end 1c of the embankment 1 is installed. Note that the range of the approximate top end 1c also includes the shoulder 1b portion that is the upper end of the slope 1a slightly outside the top end 1c.

地中鋼製壁体2を構成する鋼矢板3は盛土1を貫通し、土圧のつり合いが確保される地盤に根入れされる深さを持ち、盛土1の連続方向(長さ方向)に沿って連続的に設置されている。地中鋼製壁体2の頭部(上端部)は、盛土1の天端1cの高さ付近となる高さに位置している。この盛土1の補強構造においては、盛土1中に、二列に設けられた地中鋼製壁体2,2で締め切られた地盤からなる構造骨格部6が形成されている。   The steel sheet pile 3 constituting the underground steel wall body 2 penetrates the embankment 1 and has a depth to be embedded in the ground where the balance of earth pressure is secured, and in the continuous direction (length direction) of the embankment 1. It is continuously installed along. The head portion (upper end portion) of the underground steel wall body 2 is located at a height near the height of the top end 1 c of the embankment 1. In the reinforcement structure of the embankment 1, a structural skeleton portion 6 is formed in the embankment 1. The structural skeleton 6 is made of ground that is closed by underground steel wall bodies 2 and 2 provided in two rows.

盛土1の堤内側の法面1aには、盛土1の天端1cから離れるにしたがって低くなるように斜めに、法面1aに沿って斜材としての鋼矢板8が打設されている。鋼矢板8は、少なくとも盛土1の下の地盤5に盛土1の法面1aの長さより深く根入れされている。また、鋼矢板8は、連結されて斜めの鋼矢板壁9を構成しており、法面1aが鋼矢板壁9に略覆われた状態となっている。なお、鋼矢板壁9が法面1aより少し下に配置され、土砂に隠された状態となっていてもよいし、被覆材や各種法面材で鋼矢板壁9が覆われて隠されていてもよい。また、斜めの鋼矢板壁9上を土砂で覆う場合には、土砂が滑り落ちないように、鋼矢板壁9の法面1a側の斜面に土砂を止める構造を設けることが好ましい。図1において、鋼矢板壁9と法面1aとは、略平行となっている。   On the slope 1a inside the bank of the embankment 1, steel sheet piles 8 as diagonal members are cast diagonally along the slope 1a so as to become lower as the distance from the top end 1c of the embankment 1 increases. The steel sheet pile 8 is deeply embedded in the ground 5 below the embankment 1 deeper than the length of the slope 1 a of the embankment 1. Further, the steel sheet pile 8 is connected to form an oblique steel sheet pile wall 9, and the slope 1 a is substantially covered by the steel sheet pile wall 9. The steel sheet pile wall 9 may be disposed slightly below the slope 1a and hidden in the earth or sand, or the steel sheet pile wall 9 may be covered and covered with a covering material or various slope materials. May be. Moreover, when covering the diagonal steel sheet pile wall 9 with earth and sand, it is preferable to provide the structure which stops earth and sand on the slope of the slope 1a side of the steel sheet pile wall 9 so that earth and sand may not slide down. In FIG. 1, the steel sheet pile wall 9 and the slope 1a are substantially parallel.

また、地中鋼製壁体2の頭部と、鋼矢板壁9の上端部とは、略接触した状態または接続した状態(たとえばコーピングコンクリートで一体とした状態、ボルト等で固定された状態、留め金具等で係合された状態)とされることにより、地震時や洪水時に地中鋼製壁体2に対して鋼矢板壁9側に水平方向の力(ここでは、河川7から離れる方向の力で、2列の地中鋼製壁体2の外側に向う力)に、斜めの鋼矢板壁9の軸方向力で対抗することが可能となっている。   Moreover, the head of the underground steel wall body 2 and the upper end of the steel sheet pile wall 9 are in a substantially contacted state or a connected state (for example, a state integrated with coping concrete, a state fixed with bolts, By engaging with a fastener or the like, a horizontal force (in this case, a direction away from the river 7) on the steel sheet pile wall 9 side with respect to the underground steel wall 2 during an earthquake or flood It is possible to counteract the force in the axial direction of the slanted sheet pile wall 9 against the force of the two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2).

上述のような鋼矢板8を連結した斜めの鋼矢板壁9が略法面1aに沿って配置されていることにより、この盛土1を堤防として利用し、洪水時に河川7からの越水が生じても、堤内側の法面1aに沿って鋼矢板壁9が配置されているため、法面1aの崩壊を抑制することができる。すなわち、斜めの鋼矢板壁9により法面1aが保護されるので、法面1aが越水した水の水流で崩壊するのを抑えられ、さらに法面1aの下側の基礎地盤5の洗掘による地中鋼製壁体2の耐力の低下を抑制することができる。   The oblique steel sheet pile wall 9 connecting the steel sheet piles 8 as described above is arranged along the substantially sloped surface 1a, so that the embankment 1 is used as a dike and flooding from the river 7 occurs during flooding. However, since the steel sheet pile wall 9 is arranged along the slope 1a inside the bank, the collapse of the slope 1a can be suppressed. That is, since the slope 1a is protected by the inclined steel sheet pile wall 9, the slope 1a can be prevented from collapsing due to the water flow that has overflowed, and the foundation ground 5 below the slope 1a is scoured. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the yield strength of the underground steel wall body 2 caused by.

また、斜めの鋼矢板8(鋼矢板壁9)が地中鋼製壁体2の上部の変形を抑制するので、タイロッド10(図7に図示)で、二列の地中鋼製壁体2を連結する必要がなく、地震時や洪水時に、盛土1の天端1c部分の地盤が沈下したり、洗掘されたりしても、タイロッド10が露出せず、車両等の通行を可能とすることができる。なお、この場合には、図3に示すように、左右の法面1aそれぞれにおいて、それぞれの法面1aに近接する地中鋼製壁体2に、それぞれ鋼矢板8からなる斜めの鋼矢板壁9が設けられていることが好ましい。   Moreover, since the diagonal steel sheet pile 8 (steel sheet pile wall 9) suppresses a deformation | transformation of the upper part of the underground steel wall body 2, two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 are shown by the tie rod 10 (illustrated in FIG. 7). The tie rod 10 is not exposed even if the ground at the top end 1c of the embankment 1 sinks or is scoured during an earthquake or flood, allowing vehicles and the like to pass through. be able to. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, in each of the left and right slopes 1 a, the inclined steel sheet pile wall made of steel sheet piles 8 is respectively provided on the underground steel wall body 2 adjacent to each slope 1 a. 9 is preferably provided.

地中鋼製壁体2に用いられる鋼矢板3および斜めの鋼矢板壁9に用いられる鋼矢板8としては、U形鋼矢板、ハット形鋼矢板、鋼管矢板、Z形鋼矢板、組合せ壁体等を用いることができる。   The steel sheet pile 3 used for the underground steel wall body 2 and the steel sheet pile 8 used for the oblique steel sheet pile wall 9 include a U-shaped steel sheet pile, a hat-shaped steel sheet pile, a steel pipe sheet pile, a Z-shaped steel sheet pile, and a combined wall body. Etc. can be used.

次に、本発明の第2実施形態を説明する。
図4に示すように、第2実施形態の盛土の補強構造においては、第1実施形態と同様に二列の地中鋼製壁体2で補強された盛土1において、堤内側の法面1aに、斜杭12(例えば鋼管杭)が盛土1の長さ方向に間隔をあけて複数配置されている。斜杭12は、盛土1の長さ方向に略等間隔に配置されるとともに、盛土1の天端1cから離れるにしたがって低くなるように、法面1aに沿った角度で斜杭12が配置されている。すなわち、法面1aと斜杭12とは、略平行となっている。また、斜杭12は、第1実施形態の斜めの鋼矢板8と同様に根入れされるとともに、地中鋼製壁体2に係止、連結、固定等により接合されている。
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the embankment reinforcement structure of the second embodiment, in the embankment 1 reinforced by two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 as in the first embodiment, the slope 1 a on the inner side of the bank is shown. Further, a plurality of slant piles 12 (for example, steel pipe piles) are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the embankment 1. The inclined piles 12 are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the length direction of the embankment 1 and the inclined piles 12 are arranged at an angle along the slope 1a so as to become lower as the distance from the top end 1c of the embankment 1 increases. ing. That is, the slope 1a and the diagonal pile 12 are substantially parallel. Further, the slant pile 12 is embedded in the same manner as the slanted steel sheet pile 8 of the first embodiment, and is joined to the underground steel wall body 2 by locking, coupling, fixing or the like.

盛土1の堤内側の法面1aには、ほぼその全面に渡って面状補強材13が敷き詰められた状態とされるとともに、斜杭12により押さえられて固定されている。面状補強材13の上に土砂が被った状態となっていてもよい。なお、面状補強材13は、越水があった場合に流されないように、斜杭12に係止されたり連結される等により固定されている。   On the slope 1 a inside the embankment of the embankment 1, the planar reinforcing material 13 is spread over almost the entire surface and is pressed and fixed by the slant pile 12. The planar reinforcing material 13 may be covered with earth and sand. In addition, the planar reinforcing material 13 is fixed by being locked or connected to the slant pile 12 so as not to be washed away when water overflows.

面状補強材13は、可撓性を有しかつ必要な強度を有するものが望ましい。例えば、一般にジオシンセティクスあるいはジオテキスタイルなどと呼ばれる、合成樹脂材をシート状に加工した製品を使用することができる。面状補強材13には、グリッド状や網状のものがあるが、グリッド状や網状の場合に、越水により土砂が流出しない程度にグリッドや網の目が小さいことが好ましい。   The planar reinforcing material 13 is preferably flexible and has a required strength. For example, a product obtained by processing a synthetic resin material into a sheet shape, generally called geosynthetics or geotextile, can be used. The planar reinforcing material 13 includes a grid shape or a net shape. In the case of the grid shape or the net shape, it is preferable that the grid or the net size is small enough to prevent earth and sand from flowing out due to overflow.

第2実施形態の盛土の補強構造においても、第1実施形態と同様に、洪水の際の越水により法面1aが崩壊するのを抑制し、盛土1の法面1aの下側の基礎地盤5が洗掘されることによる地中鋼製壁体2の耐力の低下を抑制することができる。
また、斜杭12が地中鋼製壁体2の変形を抑制するので、第1実施形態の場合と同様にタイロッド10を必要とせず、地震時や洪水時に盛土1の天端1c部分でタイロッド10が露出するようなことがなく、車両等の交通を可能とすることができる。
なお、斜杭12等の間隔をあけて配置される斜材としては、鋼管杭や鋼管矢板、鋼矢板、H形鋼または組合せ壁体等の各種鋼材を用いることができる。また、タイロッド10を省略するためには、左右の法面1aの両方に斜杭(斜材)12を配置し、二列の地中鋼製壁体2の両方が斜杭12により補強された構造となっていることが好ましい。
In the embankment reinforcement structure of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the slope 1a is prevented from collapsing due to flooding during a flood, and the foundation ground below the slope 1a of the fill 1 is suppressed. The fall of the yield strength of the underground steel wall body 2 by 5 being scoured can be suppressed.
Moreover, since the slant pile 12 suppresses deformation of the underground steel wall 2, the tie rod 10 is not required as in the case of the first embodiment, and the tie rod at the top end 1 c portion of the embankment 1 during an earthquake or flood. Thus, traffic such as a vehicle can be made possible.
In addition, various steel materials, such as a steel pipe pile, a steel pipe sheet pile, a steel sheet pile, an H-section steel, or a combination wall body, can be used as a diagonal material arrange | positioned at intervals, such as the diagonal pile 12. FIG. In order to omit the tie rod 10, diagonal piles (diagonal materials) 12 are arranged on both the left and right slopes 1 a, and both of the two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 are reinforced by the diagonal piles 12. A structure is preferred.

次に、本発明の第3実施形態を説明する。
図5に示すように、第3実施形態の盛土の補強構造は、第2実施形態の盛土の補強構造における面状補強材13に代えて、植生マット、カゴ枠、カゴマット等の各種法面材15を用い、法面材15が越水により流出してしまうのを抑制するように、間隔をあけて配置された斜杭12で保護するようになっている。
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the embankment reinforcement structure of the third embodiment is replaced with the surface reinforcing material 13 in the embankment reinforcement structure of the second embodiment, and various slope materials such as a vegetation mat, a cage frame, and a cage mat. 15 is used to protect the sloped surface material 15 by the inclined piles 12 arranged at intervals so as to prevent the slope material 15 from flowing out due to overflow.

したがって、斜杭12に法面材15が係止されるか、連結されるか、固定されており、越水があっても法面材15が法面から流出しないようになっている。
第3実施形態においても、第2実施形態と同様の優れた作用効果を奏することができる。第3実施形態の場合も、タイロッド10を省略するためには、左右の法面1aの両方に斜杭12を配置し、二列の地中鋼製壁体2の両方が斜杭12により補強された構造となっていることが好ましい。
Therefore, the slope member 15 is locked, connected, or fixed to the slant pile 12 so that the slope member 15 does not flow out of the slope even if there is water overflow.
Also in the third embodiment, the same excellent effects as those of the second embodiment can be achieved. Also in the case of the third embodiment, in order to omit the tie rod 10, the oblique piles 12 are arranged on both the left and right slopes 1 a, and both the two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 are reinforced by the oblique piles 12. It is preferable that the structure is the same.

なお、第1実施形態から第3実施形態において、盛土1の補強用の地中鋼製壁体2を1列としてもよい。この場合に保護すべき堤内側の法面1aの近傍に地中鋼製壁体2があることが好ましい。
また、第1実施形態から第3実施形態において、二列の地中鋼製壁体2を連結するタイロッド10を用いるものとして、地中鋼製壁体2の頭部と、斜材(斜めの鋼矢板壁9(鋼矢板8)、斜杭12)の上端部とを切り離した構成とすることもできる。この場合には、斜めの鋼矢板壁9および斜杭12は、地中鋼製壁体2の変形を抑制するものではなく、法面1aの保護を主目的とするものとなる。但し、地中鋼製壁体2と斜材との間に越水が入り込まない程度に、地中鋼製壁体2と斜材とが近接した構成となる。
In the first to third embodiments, the underground steel wall bodies 2 for reinforcing the embankment 1 may be arranged in one row. In this case, it is preferable that the underground steel wall body 2 is in the vicinity of the slope 1a inside the bank to be protected.
Further, in the first to third embodiments, the tie rod 10 that connects the two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2 is used as the head of the underground steel wall body 2 and the diagonal material (oblique It can also be set as the structure which cut | disconnected the upper end part of the steel sheet pile wall 9 (steel sheet pile 8) and the slant pile 12). In this case, the diagonal steel sheet pile wall 9 and the diagonal pile 12 do not suppress the deformation of the underground steel wall body 2 but mainly protect the slope 1a. However, the underground steel wall body 2 and the diagonal material are close to each other to such an extent that water overflow does not enter between the underground steel wall body 2 and the diagonal material.

また、第1実施形態および第2実施形態において、法面1aを保護する斜めの鋼矢板8からなる鋼矢板壁9、斜杭12と面状補強材13をそれぞれ保護すべき法面1aと略平行としたが、必ずしも法面1aを保護する上で、略平行となっていなくてもよい。基本的に、洪水による越水時に地中鋼製壁体2の近傍が洗掘されなければいいので、斜材や斜材に支持されて法面の保護する部材が地中鋼製壁体2の近傍を覆う状態となっていればよい。   Moreover, in 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, the steel sheet pile wall 9 which consists of the diagonal steel sheet pile 8 which protects the slope 1a, the oblique pile 12, and the slope 1a which should each protect the planar reinforcement 13 are abbreviated. Although parallel, it does not necessarily have to be substantially parallel to protect the slope 1a. Basically, it is not necessary to scour the vicinity of the underground steel wall body 2 at the time of flooding due to flooding. As long as it is in a state of covering the vicinity of.

例えば、図6に示すように、基礎地盤5が洗掘されて地中鋼製壁体2の耐力が減少するのは、二列の地中鋼製壁体2のうちの堤内側の地中鋼製壁体2の近傍となる部分で、法面1aの直下となる部分であるが、これより離れた地盤が洗掘されても、直接地中鋼製壁体2の耐力に影響を与えない。すなわち、地中鋼製壁体2から盛土1の下端を通る水平線(地盤面)に沿って、盛土1の法尻側に向う所定範囲が洗掘された場合に地中鋼製壁体2の耐力に影響を与える範囲となる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the foundation ground 5 is scoured and the proof stress of the underground steel wall body 2 is reduced in the ground inside the bank of the two rows of underground steel wall bodies 2. Although it is a portion that is in the vicinity of the steel wall body 2 and immediately below the slope 1a, even if the ground away from this is scoured, it directly affects the strength of the underground steel wall body 2. Absent. That is, when the predetermined range toward the slope of the embankment 1 is scoured along the horizontal line (ground surface) passing from the underground steel wall body 2 to the lower end of the embankment 1, the underground steel wall body 2 It is the range that affects the yield strength.

この所定範囲の最も外側となる点bと、法面1aと天端1cとの境目(法肩1bの上端)となる点aとを結んだ線分と、水平線とがなす角度θより、上述の斜材としての鋼矢板壁9の鋼矢板8(斜杭12、面状補強材13)と水平線とがなす角度が小さくなっていればよいことになる。すなわち、斜材は、法面1aと略平行となっていなくとも、前記角度θ以下であればよい。   From the angle θ formed by the horizontal line and the line segment connecting the point b that is the outermost side of the predetermined range and the point a that is the boundary between the slope 1a and the top edge 1c (the upper end of the shoulder 1b), As long as the angle between the horizontal sheet and the steel sheet pile 8 (slanted pile 12, planar reinforcing material 13) of the steel sheet pile wall 9 as the diagonal material is small. That is, the diagonal material may be equal to or smaller than the angle θ even if it is not substantially parallel to the slope 1a.

ここで、法面1aと水平線とがなす角度の方が、前記角度θより小さいので、鋼矢板8(鋼矢板壁9)、斜杭12、面状補強材13がなす角度は、角度θから法面1aの角度までならば良いことになる。
なお、上述の洗掘された場合に地中鋼製壁体2がその耐力に影響を受ける所定範囲は、例えば、机上も含む模擬実験等により求める必要がある。
また、第3実施形態においては、法面材15が法面1a上に配置されることから、斜杭12および法面材15が法面1aと略平行となっている必要がある。
Here, since the angle formed by the slope 1a and the horizontal line is smaller than the angle θ, the angle formed by the steel sheet pile 8 (steel sheet pile wall 9), the oblique pile 12, and the planar reinforcing material 13 is determined from the angle θ. It is good if it is up to the angle of the slope 1a.
In addition, when the above-mentioned scouring is performed, the predetermined range in which the underground steel wall body 2 is affected by the proof stress needs to be obtained by, for example, a simulation experiment including a desk.
In the third embodiment, since the slope member 15 is disposed on the slope 1a, the slant pile 12 and the slope member 15 need to be substantially parallel to the slope 1a.
