Abstract

In this paper, a finite element based method far determining factor of safety of slopes which has certain advantages over conventional limit equilibrium methods is described. Particularly, the slope failure behaviour considering different seepage conditions is produced by finite element method using strength reduction technique. It is shown that both the failure mechanism and the safety factor that are analyzed by the FEM using strength reduction technique are an effective means of slope stability analysis. And the stability of a slope with rising water table and rapid drawdown are analyzed and the results are compared with the simplified Bishop Method of the Limit Equilibrium Methods.

본 논문은 기존의 한계 평형법 보다 사면의 파괴거동을 잘 묘사할 수 있는 유한요소법에 의한 사면의 안전율을 결정하는 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 특히, 지하수위를 고려하는 사면의 파괴거동을 강도감소법에 의한 유한요소법으로 산정하였다. 그 결과, 강도 감소법을 이용한 FEM해석방법이 사면의 안정해석에 대하여 파괴거동과 안전율을 구하는데 유효한 수단임을 보여 주었다. 그리고 지하수 상승경우와 지하수 급강하 사면의 경우에 대하여 자세히 분석하였으며, 한계평형법인 Bishop간편법 해석결과와 비교, 검토하였다.
