Analysis of the Forest Road Cut-slope Erosion Control and Rehabilitation Techniques using Gabion Systems with Vegetation Base Materials

Analysis of new approaches to achieve naturally good ecological potential of forest road cut-slope by making the best use of advantages of gabion systems with vegetation base materials to prevent slope failure and erosion, in the area with highly erodible soil. Existing gabion systems can be divided into monolithic and modular system and can be divided into ten subtypes according to the purpose of establishment and combination of other measures. As a result on the monitoring of erosion amount from forest road cut-slopes in the test applications, the order of erosion amount from largest to smallest is as follows: the curved road cut-slope site where normal gabion system was established 5,840 $cm^3$; the control site 5,833 $cm^3$; the straight road cut-slope site where normal gabion system was established 5,621 $cm^3$; the curved road cut-slope site where the new gabion system was established 4,298 $cm^3$; and the straight road cut-slope site where the new gabion system 4,117 $cm^3$. Therefore, the result shows that the new gabion system is more effective than the normal gabion system to reduce erosion amount from forest road cut-slopes. During the study period, vegetation coverages of the straight and curved road cut-slope site where the new gabion system was established were about 56(30~85)% and about 45(28~65)%, so average vegetation coverage of the sites where the new gabion systems was established was higher than the sites where the normal gabion systems was established. Therefore, it was concluded that the new gabion system can be more effective for cut-slope revegetation.

임도비탈면에 시공한 식생기반재돌망태의 침식방지 및 녹화효과 분석

이 연구는 식생기반재 돌망태의 침식억지효과 및 녹화효과를 분석하는데 있다. 이 연구를 통하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 조사기간 중 평균침식량을 분석해 본 결과, 침식량이 가장 많은 순으로 보면 곡선부에서의 일반돌망태시공지(5,840 $cm^3$)>대조구(5,833 $cm^3$)>직선부의 일반돌망태 시공지(5,621 $cm^3$)>곡선부의 식생기반재돌망태시공지(4,298 $cm^3$)> 직선부의 식생기반재돌망태시공지(4,117 $cm^3$)의 순으로 나타나 식생기반재 돌망태를 시공한 것이 임도절토비탈면의 침식을 저감하는데 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 임도 곡선부의 식생기반재돌망태 및 일반돌망태시공지의 토양침식억지효과가 직선부보다 낮게 나타나 이러한 구조물은 곡선부보다는 직선부에 설치하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 조사기간 중 평균식생피복률은 곡선부에서 45(28~65)%로 나타나 동일한 기간 직선부 식생기반재돌망태시공지의 평균피복률 56(30~85)% 보다 약 11(2~20)% 낮은 값을 나타내어 직선부에서의 식생피복률이 높게 나타났다. 또한 임도절토비탈면에 시공한 식생기반재돌망태는 안정화된 이후 임도 절토 비탈면의 토양침식을 억지하는 효과로 인해 식생피복률이 증가하는데 기여하는 것으로 분석되었다.
