Abstract

Seepage analysis through unsaturated zone based on the theory of unsaturated flow is commonly performed to evaluate dam safety. However, the concepts of unsaturated soil behavior have not been transferred into the hands of practicing geotechnical engineers since the problems involving unsaturated soils often have the appearances of being extremely complex. The behavior of dam such as seepage rate and the pore water pressure distribution is different according to the unsaturated hydraulic properties, but nevertheless simply assumed properties have been used due to insufficient data from domestic soils. In this paper, the effect of unsaturated hydraulic properties on the behavior of dam was studied through a series of numerical analyses, and then the results were discussed. It is observed that water table moves at a (aster rate, as the values of unsaturated soil parameter a and n increase. The value of m showed opposite trend. The sensitivity calculated using the approximation form showed maximum values near the water table. And the value of n that is related to the slope of soil water characteristic curve gives greatest influence on the change of sensitivity with time.

댐 안정성 평가를 위하여 불포화 이론을 이용한 침투해석 기법이 널리 사용되고 있으나 지반의 불포화 거동에 대한 인식 부족과 실험절차의 번거로움으로 인하여 입력 물성치에 대한 체계적인 실험과 평가가 일반화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 불포화 수리특성에 따라 침투수량 및 간극수압 분포 등 댐체 및 제방의 침투거동이 달라지나 국내 지반에 대한 실험자료 부족으로 대부분 단순 추정에 의한 값을 사용하고 있다 본 연구에서는 불포화 수리특성이 댐체의 침투 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 함수특성곡선과 투수계수곡선에 대하여 고찰하고 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 변수 a와 n은 값이 클수록, m은 값이 작을수록 중력에 의한 침윤선의 하강이 빨리 발생하였다. 유한차분 형식에 의해 개략적으로 계산한 민감도는 침윤선 부근에서 가장 크게 나타났고 시간에 따른 민감도의 변화에는 함수특성곡선의 기울기와 관련된 n값이 가장 큰 영향을 주었다.
