Abstract

Various development works inevitably increase cutting slopes due to land use, and many of trails managed by different authorities are being deteriorated by long-term weathering. Collapse of slopes causes unavoidable damage of property and loss of lives because of its uncertainty and difficulty in predicting its occurrence. In order to overcome the unavoidability, America, Japan, and several European nations analyze the kinetic energy and moving distance when rocks of upper slope move along the inclined plane, via field tests and computerized interpretation of the test results. Also, they are making efforts to develop measures with which the kinetic energy of the rocks moving along the slope is absorbed and fails to reach to specific structures. However, domestic researches just focus on fragmentary prediction of rockfall using existing programs, and there have been few approaches to identify interpretation methods appropriate for domestic cases or determination of parameters. In this context, we in this study defined rockfall types and affecting factors and analyzed effects of parameters using a general-purpose rockfall simulation program to understand principles of rockfall and to estimate effects of various parameters.

현재 각종 개발사업으로 절토 비탈면은 토지이용에 따라 불가피하게 증가되고 있는 추세에 있으며, 다양한 관리 주체에 의해 운영되고 있는 탐방로 비탈면은 오랜 풍화로 인해 노후화되고 있는 현실이다. 비탈면의 붕괴는 그 불확실성과 발생시점에 대한 예측 불가능으로 불가피한 재산 및 인명피해가 발생하고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 불가피성을 극복하기 위해 미국, 일본, 유럽 등지에서는 사면상부 암괴가 경사면을 따라 이동하는 현상에 대해서 현장시험과 이에 대한 컴퓨터 해석프로그램을 통하여 암괴 이동에 따른 운동에너지와 이동거리 등을 분석하고 있다. 그러나 국내의 연구는 기존의 프로그램을 활용하여 단편적인 낙석거동을 예측하는 데 그치고 있으며 국내 상황에 적합한 해석방법이나 매개변수의 결정에 대한 접근이 매우 제한적인 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 낙석의 거동 원리를 파악하고 다양한 매개변수의 영향을 평가하기 위해 낙석의 유형과 적용되는 인자를 정의하고 범용 낙석 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 매개변수의 영향을 분석하였다.
