Types of slope failure related to cut slope stability are interpreted through case analyses, and also factors affecting structurally controlled instability investigated, which are developed by geologic structures along a national road No. 25 across the Cheongwon and Boeun-Guns, Chungbuk. Engineering properties such as orientation, persistence, roughness and uniaxial compressive strength of joints are analyzed by square-inventory method in three areas with well-preserved outcrops. The study area is located in Ogcheon folded bet, and are composed of quartz-schist and quartzite in the Midongsan Formation and phyllite in the Ungyori Formation. Flexural beds by folding, schistosity and cleavage besides joints are developed due to slight metamorphism. Various types of joints developed by folding are formed such as strike-parallel, strike-perpendicular, wedge and wrench joint sets by both initially regional and later superposed folding. Factors of slope instability are created by crossing the orientations of joint, cleavage, bedding and slope one another. In the case that the orientation of a slope is coincident with one of beds, factors causing large-scale failure including plane failure are increased greatly. Also in the region that orientations of the slope and bed are crossed each other at high angle, only local and minor failures are shown in the slope.

Behavior of the existing tunnel in the jointed rocks was affected by the adjacent slope excavation. In this study, large scale model tests were conducted. To investigate the tunnel distortion depending on the excavated slope angle and the joint dip of the ground performed model tests were numerically back analyzed. Consequently, as the joint dip and slope angle became larger, the tunnel distortion was tended to be larger. Ground displacement was also greatly dependent on the joint dip and the excavated slope angle, which indicated the possibility of the optimal slope reinforcement.

The valley forests at Songgyesa-Motbong-Wolhatan Area in Deogyusan National Park were studied to investigate forest structure in relation to aspect and altitude of the slope. Density, mean DBH, mean height and basal area of the tree and subtree layers in the north-facing slope were greater than those in the south-facing slope. The impotance percentage of Fraxinus mandshurica and Carpinus cordata increased with increasing elevation while those of Quercus serrata and Quercus aliena decreased. Species diversity of the north-facing slope was 1.362 and that of the south-facing slope was 1.242. There was a tendency that number of species and species diversity decreased with increasing elevation. The result of cluster analysis for the tree and sub-tree layer indicated that the studied forests were classified into broad-leaved tree species community at the low and middle elevation belts of the south-facing slope and the north-facing slope, Fraxinus mandshurica-Quercus mongolica community at the high elevation belts of the south-facing slope and the north-facing slope and Quercus mongolica community at the top area. There were significantly positive correlations in the importance percentages among Quercus serrata, Betuzo davurica and Tilia amurensis. Carpinus laxiflora was significantly correlated with Cornus controversa, Tilia amurensis and Lindera obtusiloba. There was significantly negative correlation between Fraxinus mandshurica and Pinus densiflora.

태백산맥의 가장자리에 위치한 용연동굴은 전형적인 산지Karst(Alpine Karst)의 면모를 갖추고 있다. 용연동굴은 태백시 북서부 화전동 용수골 상부 산사면부 약 980m 상에서 북쪽으로 개구하고 있으며, 용수골 서북부 정상(1,418m)에서 동동남 방향으로 이어지는 능선부 하부 가까이 위치한다. 능선은 비교적 완만하나 남북사면은 개석의 진전으로 약 50도 내외의 급경사 사면지형을 나타낸다. 특히 동굴의 남사면은 용수골 용천수의 하식작용에 의하여 북사면 보다 더욱 경사가 급하다.(중략)

To be design the slope, the area distributed the mica schist which was metamorphosed by shale or mudstone must carefully consider the stability. Mica schist is another unstable rock for slope by schistosity, cleavage, axial plane of a fold etc. In general mica schist contains the swelling clay minerals such as smectite, vermiculite and montmorillonite. These minerals make the slope unstable. At OO tunnel construction area for the rail way of the Kyungbu high speed train, the slope of mica schist is very unstable by the distribution phenomena of the discontinuous plane such as joints which are 1-5 cm spacing and thrust and strike-slip fault. By the drilling core of this area, most RQD have 0-20%.
