Abstract

After heavy rainfall, It was occurred massive plane failure along bedding plane of shale in the center of rock slope. It was observed filling material and trace of underground water leakage around of the slope. We tried to find the cause for slope failure, and the result of examination showed that primary factors of the failure were low shear strength of clay filling material and water pressure formed within tension crack existed in the top of the slope. In this research, in order to examine the features of shear strength of filled rock joint, shear test of filled rock joint was conducted using of artificial filling material such as sand and clay..Also we made an investigation into the characteristics of shear strength with different thickness of filling materials.

셰일층으로 구성된 암반사면에서 층리면을 따라 대규모 평면파괴가 사면 중앙부에서 발생하였다. 현장조사시 파괴사면 주변은 지하수 누수 흔적과 점토층의 충전물이 존재하였으며, 파괴원인을 검토한 결과 층리면을 따라 형성된 점토 충전물의 낮은 전단강도와 강우시 인장균열내 형성된 수압에 의해 붕괴가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 충전된 절리면의 전단강도 특성을 규명하기 위해서 모래, 점토의 인위적인 충전물을 이용하여 충전재 두께비에 따른 전단강도 특성을 고찰하였다.
