Abstract

The limit equilibrium method (LEM) is commonly used for slope design and stability analysis because it is easy to simulate slope and requires short calculating time. However, LEM cannot adequately simulate ploughing failure in a footwall slope with a joint set dipping parallel with slope, e.g. bedding joint set. This study performed parametric study to analyze the influence factors on ploughing failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM (Distinct Element Method)-based numerical program. The influence of joint structure and properties on stability of a footwall slope against ploughing failure was investigated, and the factor of safety was estimated using the shear strength reduction method. It was found that the stability of footwall slope against ploughing failure strongly relies on dip angle of conjugate joint, and the critical bedding joint spacing and the critical length of slab triggering ploughing failure are also affected by dip angle of conjugate joint. The results obtained from this study can be used for effective slope design and construction including reinforcement.

풋월 비탈면 설계 시 해석시간이 짧고, 간편하여 한계평형법을 주로 이용하였으나, 쟁기형태파괴를 모사하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 2차원 DEM (Distinct Element Method) 해석프로그램인 UDEC을 이용해 수치해석을 수행하여 풋월 비탈면에서 발생되는 쟁기형태파괴에 미치는 영향인자를 분석하였다. 매개변수분석은 암반절리(층면절리, 공액절리, 비탈면의 하단에 위치한 절리)의 구조 및 암반절리상태 등을 변경하여 수행하였으며, 비탈면의 안전율은 강도감소법(Strength Reduction Method)을 이용하여 산정하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 쟁기형태파괴는 공액절리(conjugate joint)의 경사각에 주로 의존하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 층리의 한계간격 및 슬래브의 한계길이가 공액절리의 경사각에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 비탈면 보강을 포함한 풋월 비탈면의 최적설계 및 시공에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
