초록

불포화토 사면 거동은 불포화토의 수리학적 특성 및 역학적 특성, 지반 투수계수, 지반 내 지층 구조, 강우조건 즉 강우강도, 강우패턴, 강우 지속시간, 선행강우 등의 영향을 받는다. 이와 같은 여러 요소 중 산사태는 사면 파괴 당시 강우조건보다 그 이전에 발생했던 선행강우의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 알려져 있어 선행강우의 영향은 사면 안정성 해석에서 중요한 요소로 작용할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 강우에 의한 산사태 발생을 예측하고 대책을 마련하기 위하여 선행강우에 따른 사면 내 모관흡수력 분포를 반드시 고려하여야 하며 이후에 발생한 강우특성을 반영하여 사면 안정성 검토를 수행하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 경우 실트질 흙 함량 구성을 5%, 10%, 20%로 달리한 3가지 시료를 조성한 후 각각의 시료에 대하여 흙-함수특성곡선 시험을 수행하여 관련 매개변수들을 분석하였다. 한 달 동안의 선행강우 적용과 집중호우에 해당하는 12시간 동안의 강우가 지속적으로 내릴 때 불포화토 내 모관흡수력 분포 및 응력, 강도와 같은 역학적 특성 변화 등을 분석하고 사면안정 수치해석을 수행한 후 선행강우와 흙-함수특성곡선이 사면의 안정에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하였다.

The behavior of the unsaturated soil slope can be influenced by the various factors such as the hydraulic characteristics, the mechanical characteristics, the coefficient of conductivity, the stratifications, the rainfall conditions i.e. the rainfall intensity, the rainfall pattern, the duration time of the rainfall and the antecedent rainfall etc. It is known that the slope failure is influenced greatly by the antecedent rainfall rather than the rainfall condition at the failure time, so the antecedent rainfall is supposed to be a very important factor in slope stability analysis among these factors. To predict and to prevent the slope failure by the rainfall, the distribution of the matric suction by the antecedent rainfall must be considered first of all and the slope stability analysis should be carried out by considering the successive rainfall characteristics. In this research, 3 samples with different quantity (5%, 10%, 20%) of silts were prepared and the SWCC (Soil-water characteristic curve) tests were carried out and the associated parameters were analyzed. After analyzing the distribution of the matric suction and the change of the mechanical characteristics such as the stress and the strength when applying the antecedent rainfall for one month and the successive intensive rainfall for 12 hours, the slope stability analyses were carried out numerically. And the influence of the antecedent rainfall for one month and the SWCC on the stability of a slope were compared and analyzed.
