Abstract

The stability of the designed rock slope is analysed based on two kinds of shear strength model. Besides the deterministic analysis, a probabilistic approach on Monte Carlo simulation is proposed to deal with the uncertain characteristics of the discontinuity and the results obtained from two models are compared to each other. To carry out the research of characteristics of the discontinuity, BIPS, DOM Scanline survey data and direct shear test data are used, and chi-square test is used for determining the probability distribution function. The rock slope is evaluated to be stable in the deterministic analysis, but in the probabilistic analysis, the probability of failure is more than 5%, so, it is considered that the rock slope is unstable. In the shear strength models, the probability of the failure based on the Mohr-Coulomb model(linear model) is higher than that of the Barton model. It is supported by the fact that the Mohr-Coulomb model is more sensitive to block size than the Barton model. In fact, there is no reliable way to estimate the unit cohesion of the Mohr-Coulomb model except f3r back analysis and in the case of small block failure in the slope, Mohr-Coulomb model may excessively evaluate the factor of the safety. So, the Barton model of which parameters are easily acquired using the geological survey is more reasonable for the stability of the studied slope. Also, the selection of the proper shear strength model is an important factor for slope failure analysis.

암반사면의 대표적인 파괴유형인 쐐기파괴에 대한 확률론적 안정 해석 수행 과정에서 가장 주요한 불연속면의 특성인 전단 강도에 대해 Mohr-Coulomb 모델에 의한 선형적 강도특성과 Barton모델에 의한 비선형적 강도특성이 사면의 안정성 해석에 주는 영향을 비교하고자 하였다. 사면 안정성 해석의 방법으로 결정론적 해석과 Monte Carlo Simulation을 이용한 확률론적 해석을 수행하였으며, 불연속면의 통계적 분석을 수행한 후 $x^2$ 검증을 통해 분포함수를 검증하였다. 해석 대상 사면은 중앙선 O O공구로, 불연속면의 특성을 파악하기 위해 BIPS, DOM, Scanline, 절리면 직접전단 시험자료를 사용하였다. Mohr-Coulomb, Barton모델에 의한 결정론적 해석 결과는 모두 안정한 것으로 나타났으나, 확률론적 해석 결과 두 모델 모두 5% 이상의 파괴확률을 나타냄으로서 잠재적인 불안정성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 Mohr-Coulomb의 모델이 Barton의 모델보다 더 큰 파괴확률을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 불연속면의 전단강도 정수 산정시 Mohr-Coulomb의 모델은 한정된 실내시험 자료를 가지게 되고, 정확한 점착력의 산정이 어려운 점, 파괴블록의 규모가 작은 경우 안전율이 지나치게 과대 평가될 가능성 등이 있으므로, 합리적인 사면 안정성 해석을 위해서는 강도정수 산정시 적절한 모델 선택이 중요하다.
