FIG. 7 is a view illustrating an example of the soil retaining wall 1 which has been constructed by the C.I.P (Cast-In Placed Concrete Pile) construction method. The C.I.P construction method is directed to a construction method wherein the ground 2 is perforated at a predetermined depth using a predetermined excavation equipment, and a cylindrical casing is installed inserted in the perforated vertical hole, and a steel reinforcement, a coarse aggregate, a H-beam pile, etc. are inserted in the inside of the cylindrical casing, and the concrete pillars made in such a way to case concrete are continuously installed with the outer surfaces thereof contacting with each other.
Referring to FIG. 7, the outer side surface of the soil retaining wall 1 may be constructed uneven, not even in a straight shape. The flange of the H-beam 1a may be exposed from the concrete pillar in which the H-beam is inserted so as to fix the pedestal member 50 to the concrete pillar which has been made by the C.I.P (Cast-In-Placed Concrete Pile). The portions A, B and C in FIG. 7 correspond to the portions where the pedestal member 50 is fixed, in which the exposed engaging surface of the flange is disposed uneven. In the above configuration, it can be confirmed that the interval Sd is irregular between the wale member 40 and the soil retaining wall 1, which are disposed in a straight line shape in the horizontal direction.
If the engaging surface of the flange is formed uneven at the portions A, B and C, it is fixedly welded at the exposed flange, and if the engaging surface of the exposed flange is uneven, the wale member 40 is disposed like a straight line shape in the horizontal direction at a previously set installation position, and it is fixed at the soil retaining wall 1 by adjusting the position of the pedestal member 50.
In the conventional construction method, there has been an inconvenience since a groove filling work should be carried out so as to fix the wale member 40 in a straight like shape in the horizontal direction, but as illustrated in FIG. 8, the earth anchor of the present invention can be fixed in such a way that the wale member 40 is mounted on the wale fixing surface 50a of the pedestal member 50, and the wale member 40 mounted on the wale fixing surface 50a can be supported in a straight line shape while moving the pedestal member 50 in a state where the fixing slanted surface 50b of the pedestal member 50 contacts with the soil retaining wall 1. More specifically, the earth anchor according to the present invention can be fixed in such a way that the position of the wale member 40 is disposed at a normal position in a straight line shape, and the pedestal member 50 is moved outside the wale member 40 and the soil retaining wall 1, so the wale member 40 can be accurately mounted on the wale fixing surface 50a of the pedestal member 50. In the conventional construction method, it needs to carry out the groove filling work so as to fill the space between the wale member 40 and the soil retaining wall 1, but the earth anchor according to the present invention allows to fixedly engage the wale member 40 to the pedestal member 50 in such a way to dispose the wale member 40 at a normal position in a straight line shape without carrying out the groove filling work since in the present invention, it is possible to adjust the position of the wale member 40 which is fixed on the wale fixing surface 50a in such a way to move the triangular pedestal member 50.
Referring to FIGS. 9 to 25, it is preferred that the earth anchor according to the present invention may further include a pedestal fixing frame 80 which is able to engage the wale member 40 mounted on the wale fixing surface 50a and the pedestal member 50 and allows the pedestal member 50 to move in a state where they are engaged.
