Soil nailing is used as a method of slope stabilization and excavation support. The design method of soil nail are based on experience or assumption of interaction between soil and reinforcement. Most design methods simply considers the tension of reinforcement for analysis of slope stabilization. Soil nails interact with soils under combined loading of shear and tension. Jewell & Pedley suggested a design equation of shear force with bending stiffness and discussed that the magnitude of the maximum shear force is small in comparison with the maximum axal force. However, they have used a very conservative limiting bearing stress on nails. This paper discusses that the shear strength of soil nails should not be disregarded with proper bearing stresses on nails. The modified FHWA design method was proposed by considering shear forces on nails with bending stiffness.

사면은 인공적 또는 자연적인 현상에 의하여 발생된 경사진 지반을 말하며, 그 안정성은 작용외력과 지반상태 및 지하수 등에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 사면의 파괴는 여러 가지 형태로 일어날 수 있으나 대체로 강성 활동 파괴체가 소성화된 국부적인 지반을 따라서 발생되고, 사면의 파괴형상은 경계조건과 지반상태가 단순할 경우에만 쉽게 예측할 수 있으며, 복잡한 지반상태에서는 많은 노력과 비용을 들여서 정밀하게 조사해야만 어느 정도 실제와 근사하게 예측할 수 있다. 자연 또는 인공사면에서 지질 및 지반상태, 지하수 상태, 사면의 형상, 사면의 규모, 외력의 작용상태 등의 조건을 분석하여 사면파괴를 일으킬 수 있는 원인들을 찾아내어 적합한 안정화대책을 마련하는 방안을 모색한다. 특히 사면을 성토사면, 절토사면, 암절사면, 대절토사면으로 구분하여 사면파괴 원인과 안정화대책에 대해서 심도 있게 검토한다. 사면의 설계 및 안정검토를 위하여 일반적으로 적용하고 있는 사면안정 검토 방법들에 대해서 이론전개 과정에서 발생되는 문제점들과 이들이 결과에 미치는 영향에 대해서 언급한다. 그리고 사면을 안정시키기 위하여 일상적으로 적용하는 대책공법들의 적용성을 사면파괴 원인과 연계해서 판정하는 방안을 검토한다.

When most of the industry and social indirect facilities such as the large structure, power plant or road, rail-road are constructed, the new slope may lead to the slope failure. The failure models for slopes have been developed by using the results of in-situ and laboratory tests to investigate the mechanisms and types of the slope failure. The safety factor of a slope may be obtained based on the proposed model and the slope can be reinforced to meet the design criteria. The slope should be reinforced by using the optimum model that properly reflects the site condition, the method of reinforcement includes the increased safety factor either by decreasing a slope angle or by reinforcing the slope.

본 논문에서는 암굴착시 발파에 의한 암반사면의 균열방지 및 사면안정 재고를 위하여 대 구-포항간 고속도로 건설현장에서 시험발파를 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하여 천공깊이별 안전 발파패턴을 제시하였다. 또한 현지 탄성파 속도를 측정하여 발파에 의해 암반에 미치는 균열상태를 조사한 결과 탄성파속도의 감소가 40 ∼ 53%로서 암반 중에 균열을 발생시킨 것으로 나타났다. 발파진동 계측결과를 분석하여 암반에 균열을 일으킬 수 있는 진동속도 기준을 설정하여 균열권 범위를 추정하였으며 사면의 기하학적 형상을 고려하여 손상대를 최소화 할 수 있는 적정 안전설계 패턴을 제시하였다.

Slope stability analyses were conducted to investigate the limitations of application of the standard inclination of slope and the effects of the berm width on the slope stability. The standard slope inclination could be applied to the basic slope sections that were considered for the analyses, whereas additional slope stability analysis should be performed for the case of considering ground water. A comparison of the factors of safety between the case of installing a berm and the case of letting the grading have an equivalent section area with the case of installing the berm, the factors of safety in the case of installing a berm were greater than those for the case of allowing grading, and the differences between the factors of safety increase with increasing berm width. For all the sections considered in the analyses, the increments of the safety factor were proportional to the width of the berm and those corresponding to the embankment slope and cut slope with a berm width of 7m were 34.5% and 48%, respectively.

Geosynthetics as a reinforcing material for earth structures have ever increased due to their excellent economy, fine external appearance, and easy construction. Geogrids are high-strength, orientated-polymer grid structures used to reinforce soil. This paper deals with the construction and sire monitoring for a 5.1m high-reinforcd slope with $75^{\circ}$ steep. The purpose of site monitoring is to evaluate the applicability of reforced slope with geogrid. Full scale field performance during and after construction was monitored by incorporating instrumentation including strain gauges on the geogrid, and horizontal and vertical movements.

The unsaturated layers by rainfall infiltration are not properly reflected in construction codes to do slope design. The objective of this paper is to analyze the slope behavior according to the saturation layer increase resulted from the rainfall infiltration, to do that the laboratory slope model apparatus was adopted. From the model apparatus, the variation of water content and strength parameters of the model slope were analyzed. The safety factors of model slope was decreased, if saturation layer was increased from 3.0m to 4.5m, which means ground water level 3m selected from construction codes makes higher safety level. Also, if the ground water level is located in soil surface, the lower safety level will show up. Therefore, to make the proper slope design, the experiments and analysis of variation of saturation layer is needed.

There are many cuts or natural rock slopes that remain stable for a long time in the natural environment with steep slopes ($65^{\circ}$ to $85^{\circ}$). In terms of design practice, the rock mass consisting of similar rock condition and geological structures is defined as a good continuum rock slope, and during the process of decision making angle of this rock slope, it will be important to establish the geotechnical properties estimating method of the continuum rock on the process of stability analysis in the early stages of design and construction. In this study, the stability analysis of a good continuum rock slope that can be designed as a steep slope proposed a practical method of estimating the shear strength by induced from the Hoek-Brown failure criterion, and in addition, the design applicability was evaluated through the stability analysis of steep rock slope. The existing method of estimating the shear strength was inadequate for practical use in the design, as the equivalent M-C shear strength corresponding to the H-B envelope changes sensitively, even with small variations in confining stress. To compensate for this problem, it was proposed to estimate equivalent M-C shear strength by iso-angle division method. To verify the design applicability of the iso-angle division method, the results of the safety factor and the displacement according to the change in angle of the cut slope constructed at the existing working design site were reviewed. The safety factor is FS=16~59 on the 1:0.5 slope, FS=12~52 on the 1:0.3 slope, most of which show a 10~12 percent reduction. Displacement is 0.126 to 0.975 mm on the 1:0.5 slope, 0.152 to 1.158 mm on the 1:0.3 slope, and represents an increase of 10 to 15%. This is a slightly change in normal proportion and is in good condition in terms of stability. In terms practical the working design, it was confirmed that applying the shear strength estimated by Iso-angle division method derived from the H-B failure criterion as a universal shear strength for a good continuum rock mass slope was also able to produce stable and economic results. The procedure for stability analysis using LEM (Limit Equilibrium Analysis Method) and FEM (Finite Element Analysis Method) will also be practical in the rock slope where is not distributed fault. The study was conducted by selecting the slope of study area as a good rock condition, establishing a verification for which it can be applied universal to a various rock conditions will be a research subject later on.

The slope reinforcing method utilized in this paper reinforces the ground overall by means of filling borehole as well as permeating grout material into ground by injecting it through the grouting pipe. In order to reflect these characteristics to design, not only the ground reinforcing effect by the structural material itself but also the ground strength improvement effect by the grouting injection must be quantitively evaluated. But precedent research of it has been insufficient. Therefore, the slope reinforcing method was applied to the weathered rockmass slope situated in the highway in order to analyze reinforcing effect and the instrumentation of slope was performed. Through analysis of this field test, the slope reinforcing method was proved to be effective and back analysis method based on instrumentation values of slope was proposed to apply to reinforcing design. In this paper, the effectiveness of reinforcing method was certified through proposed back analysis.

In this study, a slope stability chart for assessing stability of homogeneous simple soil slopes is proposed. Most existing slope stability charts are based on limit equilibrium method, which is not rigorous in mechanical standpoint. Meanwhile, limit analysis based on the principle of virtual work and the bound theorems of plasticity is suitable for evaluating the stability of geotechnical structures such as slope due to its simplicity in computation and mechanical rigor. Numerical limit analysis taking advantage of finite elements and linear programming can consider various slope conditions and, in addition, find the optimum stability solution with effeciency. In this study, a numerical limit analysis program in terms of effective stress is developed and a mechanically rigorous slope stability chart is proposed by performing stability analyses for various slope conditions. Pore pressure ratio, commonly used in stability charts, is applied to consider the effects of pore pressure for effective stress analysis. As a result of comparison between proposed stability chart and Spencer's stability chart, it was found that Spencer's chart solutions are biased to lower bound which means conservative in design.
