This paper was to examine the causes of steep slope failure during the season of heavy rainfall. For the purpose, the paper carefully analyzed the sites of steep slope failure, which happened in July 2009. The direct cause of steep slope failure was much related to heavy rainfall during summer. The paper continued to verify that additional causes include the malfunction of diverse waterways, the slope design without considering weathering soils and related characteristics, the lack of the waterway size, the intrusion of plant roots, the reinforced technique without considering slope conditions, etc.

The target slope of this study, formed during the construction of highway, is the very high infinite slope where sliding began along the discontinuity. Although an attempt was made to stabilize the upper part of the slope by installing the rock anchors, large scale failure was occurred at the lower part if the reinforced area. Afterwards, subsequent failures were observed two times. To investigate the cause of the failure, residual shear strength was measured by performing the direct shear test of rock specimen of the site. The anchor design was based on the pull-out test. Considering the slope surface where the undulation was severe and the variation of strength was very large, buttressing was used to obtain the required anchoring capacity.

To experimentally investigate the variation of soil characteristics in slope during rainfall and the shape of slope failure, the model test was performed using soil box and artificial rainfall simulator. The model test of slope formed by the homogenous sand was performed, and the saturation pattern in the model slope due to rainfall infiltration was observed. The slope model with the inclination of 35° was set up on the slope of 30°, and the rainfall intensity of 50 mm/hr was applied in the test. The soil depth of 35 cm was selected by considering the size of soil box, and the TDR (time domain reflectometry) sensors were installed at various depths to investigate the change of soil characteristics with time. As the result of model test, the slope model during rainfall was saturated from the soil surface to the subsurface, and from the toe part to the crest part due to rainfall infiltration. That is, the toe part of slope was firstly saturated by rainfall infiltration, and then due to continuous rainfall the saturation range was enlarged from the toe part to the crest part in the slope model. The failure of slope model was started at the toe part of slope and then enlarged to the crest part, which is called as the retrogressive failure. At the end of slope failure, the collapsed area increased rapidly. Also, the mode of slope failure was rotational. Meanwhile, the slope failure was occurred when the matric suction in the slope was reached to the air entry value (AEV) estimated in soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC).

This study aims to clarify the characteristics of the physical and mechanical properties of soil-slope failure of Okcheon metamorphic zone. Soil samples were collected from 35 collapsed and uncollapsed artificial slopes along national roads. A series of laboratory experiments was carried out to examine physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks. The results show that failure slopes have weakness of failure at 0.75 of AMI or higher, 32% of liquid limit or higher, and 31% of saturated moisture content or higher. The plastic index of failure slopes is correlated to wet density and saturated density. It turned out that failure could easily happen according to a high plastic index even if the void ratio was low. The greater the contents of bigger-sized soil, i.e. contents of sands and gravels rather than of clays, is the greater the chance to fail at the slope.

Due to frequent occurrences of concentrated heavy rainfall caused by abnormal climate conditions in recent years, collapses of steep slopes have been occurring frequently due to surface erosion and increased pore water pressure. Various methods are being applied to prevent slope collapses, such as increasing the resistance to movement and reducing pore water pressure. Research on these methods has been consistently conducted as they provide an efficient response to slope collapses by satisfying both the conditions of resistance to movement and pore water pressure simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, we propose an upward slope reinforcement method by burying drainage materials with an upward slope inclination, instead of the conventional horizontal application. This approach aims to satisfy both slope reinforcement and drainage functions effectively, offering a comprehensive solution for slope stabilization. Furthermore, to determine the optimal burial angle that exhibits the most effective reinforcement and drainage effects of the proposed method, we investigated the reinforcement and drainage effects under conditions where the horizontal drainage materials were set at angles ranging from 0° to 60° in increments of 10° on a representative cross-section. Additionally, indoor model experiments were conducted under the conditions of 40°, which showed the most outstanding drainage effect, and 20°, which exhibited the highest safety factor, to validate the numerical analysis results. The results showed that the burial angle of 40° exhibits a relatively higher drainage effect as with the numerical analysis results, while the angle of 20° results in inadequate drainage and observed slope collapse.

사면 파괴의 분류에 대하여는 여러 학자들(Hutchinson, 1968; Varnes, 1978; Hoek and Bray, 1981)에 의하여 시도되어 왔으며, 일반적으로 파괴면의 기하학적 형상, 물질의 이동 형태와 이동 물질의 종류 등에 따라 분류한다. 현재 널리 사용되는 사면 파괴에 대한 분류로는 Varnes(1978)와 Hoek and Bray(1981)의 분류법이다. 이외 일본 지반 공학회에서는 파괴 두께와 관련된 사면 붕괴 유형을 구분하였다. 여기서는 각각의 분류에 대해 기술하고, 일반적으로 암반 사면에 대한 붕괴 유형 분류를 제시한다.

철강구조물들이 화염에 노출될 경우 그 강도가 급격히 저하되어 화재시 건물자체가 붕괴되는 대형재해를 유발할 우려가 있다. 따라서, 화재시 그 내부의 철강구조에 열전달을 차단해 조기붕괴 를 막고 소화가능시간을 늘인다는 점에서 우수한 내화피복제의 개발은 중요한 과제라 하겠다. 융해성 규산염에 기초한 무기질 방화 피복제들은 불에 누출될 때 포비하거나 팽창하는 성질이 있으며화염에 대해 독성물질의 방출이 적을 뿐만 아니라 공급면에서도 풍부하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 Potassium- 규산염 피복제들의 몰비율의 변화에 따른 열특성, 용해도, 결정구조 및 포비도 등이 내화 피복제의 물리적 특성과 화학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.

사면 안정 해석은 주로 파괴 활동면의 전단 강도와 발휘되는 전단 강도의 최대비로서 표현되는 파괴활동의 추정을 위해 기존의 고전적인 방법을 사용하거나 이와 유사한 방법등이 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 방법들은 토질에 있어서의 상호 작용력과 그에 따른 전당력 및 사면 활동면의 반복되는 추정등의 가정으로 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토질전체를 연속체로 규정하고 비선형 유한요소법을 이용한 토질의 실제 응력과 강도를 정확하게 계산하였다. 사면 안정은 점차적 인증력의 증가로서 사면의 붕괴 활동면이 나타나FEo 까지로 해석되었다. 제시된 방법의 세부적인 사항은 예제를 통하여 설명되어 있다.

Due to a heavy rain resulted from the global environmental change, collapse accidents happen annually and it is a tendency to increase the loss of life and economy. Thus, measures for the collapse of slope are required. If the slope can be simulated before cutting, the collapse can be predicted, and also the accident of the collapse can be minimized at the cost of recovery. This paper presents a simulation method of a slope which is important in cutting. The method is modeling and designing using Petri-Net and is implemented in the Windows XP using Arc GIS. Therefore, by means of cutting and reclamation based on GIS, this paper can contribute to saving a lot of time and money.

제방은 홍수로부터 주변 주거지와 농경지를 보호하는 가장 전통적이고 기본적인 구조물이다. 개발된 제방보강기술은 파이오폴리머와 골재를 혼합하여 제방표면을 강화하여 월류 등으로 인한 제방붕괴를 대응할 수 있는 친환경 제방보강기술로 제방의 세굴 및 붕괴 등을 억제하는 목적이 있다. 개발 기술은 하천호안 사면 및 제방을 안전하게 보호하기 위한 기술로 치수방재사업과 자연재해 영향을 저감시키는 사업에 활용가능하며 시공성이 수월하여 월류파괴에 대한 대응 기술로 적용이 용이하다. 개발된 기술을 현장에 적용하기 위해서는 기술의 안전성을 확보해야 하므로 현장시범사업 등 실제 적용에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 하지만 월류 파괴는 현장에서 시범사업을 수행할 수 없으므로 본 연구에서는 실규모 실험을 통해 현장 적용성 연구를 수행하였다. 실규모 실험은 안동에 위치한 하천실험센터에서 수행하였으며, 인위적인 월류를 통하여 제방 세굴 및 붕괴 상황을 검토하였다. 실험결과 대조조건으로 식생 제방의 경우 25분경에 붕괴되었고, 개발 기술은 월류 발생 후 2시간 동안 제내지 경사면에서 균열이 발생하지 않았다. 개발기술이 월류파괴에 대해 대응 가능하고 붕괴를 억제할 수 있는 기술로의 실증 결과를 파악 할 수 있었다.
