Abstract
A provisional facility for retaining earth using a guide bracket and a ground anchor for stepwise retention during deep excavation includes multiple thumb piles disposed vertically at predetermined intervals, a wale disposed across the multiple thumb piles, a guide bracket installed at a predetermined position of the wale, and a ground anchor having the other side anchored to a ground while a tensile member is wound around the guide bracket.
Claims7
A provisional facility for retaining earth using a guide bracket and a ground anchor for stepwise retention during deep excavation, the provisional facility comprising:
- multiple thumb piles disposed vertically at predetermined intervals;
- a wale disposed across the multiple thumb piles;
- a guide bracket installed at a predetermined position of the wale;
- and
- a ground anchor having the other side anchored to a ground while a tensile member is wound around the guide bracket,
- wherein each of the multiple thumb piles is provided as any one of a section steel and a steel pipe, the wale is provided as any one of a section steel and a steel pipe, and
- the guide bracket comprises:
- a support plate having a certain thickness and width;
- a vertical plate extending at a right angle from each of both ends of the support plate;
- a horizontal plate extending at a right angle to the vertical plate;
- a semicircular fixed pulley coupled between the vertical plates,
- wherein the tensile member exposed on a rear surface of the wale is wound around the semicircular fixed pulley and then guided to a groove between the vertical plates so as to be anchored to the support plate on a front surface of the wale.
A method for constructing a provisional facility for retaining earth by using a ground anchor and a guide bracket for stepwise retention during deep excavation, which is constituted by:
- multiple thumb piles disposed vertically at predetermined intervals;
- a wale disposed across the multiple thumb piles;
- a guide bracket installed at a predetermined position of the wale;
- and a ground anchor having the other side anchored to a ground while a tensile member is wound around the guide bracket, wherein each of the multiple thumb piles is provided as any one of a section steel and a steel pipe, the wale is provided as any one of a section steel and a steel pipe, and the guide bracket comprises:
- a support plate having a certain thickness and width;
- a vertical plate extending at a right angle from each of both ends of the support plate;
- a horizontal plate extending at a right angle to the vertical plate;
- a semicircular fixed pulley coupled between the vertical plates, wherein the tensile member exposed on a rear surface of the wale is wound around the semicircular fixed pulley and then guided to a groove between the vertical plates so as to be anchored to the support plate on a front surface of the wale, the method comprising:
- forming multiple bored holes by excavating the ground at a predetermined diameter and a predetermined depth;
- installing the thumb piles in the bored holes;
- installing multiple vertical ground anchors on a rear surface of the wale between the installed thumb piles;
- installing the wale to which the guide bracket is attached, across the thumb piles, on the thumb piles;
- fixing the tensile member-installed on the ground anchor to the guide brackets;
- tensioning the tensile member at a predetermined tension to apply a load to a rear-side ground to a middle portion of the wale;
- and
- installing the wale, to which the guide bracket is attached for the stepwise retention during the deep excavation, fixing the tensile member installed on the multiple ground anchors to the guide bracket, and tensioning the tensile member at certain tensile force to transfer a load transferred to the wale to the multiple thumb piles.
