Development of a Database Program for the Management of Railroad Slopes

철도사면관리 프로그램 개발

A database program, named SLOPMAN, was developed to collect all the information on the slopes with potential hazard around railroad and to setup the effective management system. SLOPMAN is composed of three modules: data control, search and analysis. The program is able to store both text and image data and operated with tabs for the users' ability and convenience. Drop-down menu is equipped to reduce errors and the number of key strokes when inputting data. Searching data is made by codes automatically given to slopes or key words. In the analysis module, RMR and SMR values can be obtained to estimate the stability of slopes.
