In relation to slope stability analysis, geologic characteristics and engineering properties of the discontinuities in three slopes selected are compared and analyzed by both square-inventory method and scanline survey. The aim of the study is in evaluating which method is applied better in slope stability analysis by comparing results of the two methods with those of direct observation on outcrop of slope failures generated. In each slope, results of comparative analysis among geologic and engineering properties are analyzed similarly one another. However, results of orientation analysis in slope 2 are different each other, which indicates orientation of joints in slope 2 depends on persistency and frequency of each joint and also indicates appearance of new joint set with different orientation. Probability density distribution and spacing in slope 3 are high in comparison to those in slope 2 and 3. The reasons are that distribution of psammitic rocks and development of minor folds in slope 3 unlike slope 2 and 3 are closely associated with development of joints. The research data indicate that the square-inventory method predicts more precise failure aspects and is more effective way than scanline survey in analyzing slope stability of the study area.

In this paper, the stability standards of slopes reclaimed by soils mixed with stone dust were proposed to manage the stone dust as recovery soils. First of all, the mixed ratio between stone dust and natural soil is classified into 5 groups, and a series of soil test was performed in each group. As the results of tests, the shear strength and the maximum dry unit weight were increased in decrease of the mixed ratio of stone dust. On the basis of the investigation to the safety factor standards of embankment slopes in and outside the country, a slope stability rank of slopes reclaimed by mixed soils were divided into 3 stages such as unstable stage, attention stage and stable stage. The slope angle, the slope height and the mixed ratio with stone dust were proposed by the result of stability analysis of slopes reclaimed by mixed soils. As the result of slope stability analysis, the slope angle of 1 : 1.8 at the reclaimed slope should be constructed in case of the slope height of 10 m. Also, the slope angle of 1 : 1.8 and the mixed ratio of stone dust less than 50% should be constructed in case of the slope height of 15 m. The analysis result of reclaimed slope constructed inside the quarry is similar to that of reclaimed slope constructed on the open ground in same conditions of the slope angle, the slope height and the mixed ratio with stone dust. The proposed stability standards of slopes reclaimed by soils mixed with stone dust can be used practically at the quarrying site.

In this study, 270 cut-slopes are investigated and statistical analyses are performed. More than 84% of unstable slopes are rock slopes or rock-soil mixed slopes, and 72% of the slopes have 10 to 30 meter in height. And in order to clarify the cause of failure, 3 slopes which have been failed are back-analysed by using the computer programs such as DIPS, UDEC and PCSTABL5M. A heavy rainfall during rainy season is a main cause of slope failure, and a blasting vibration during construction could also give a significant influence on the slope instability.

Since weathering weakens the rock fabric and exaggerates any structural weakness, it affects mechanical properties as well as physical and chemical properties of rock. Weathering leads to a decrease in density, strength, friction angle and cohesion, and subsequently it affects negatively on the stability of rock slope. The purpose of the study is to investigate the changes of the rock slope stability caused by discontinuities which have different weathering grades. For that, the discontinuity samples which are divided into two different weathering grades are obtained from the field and tested their mechanical properties such as JCS, JRC and residual friction angle. In order to evaluate the effects on the stability of slope due to weathering, the deterministic analysis is carried out. That is, the factors of safety for planar failure are calculated for rock masses which have two different weathering grades, such as fresh and weathered rock mass. However, since the JRC and friction angle values are widely scattered and the deterministic analysis cannot consider the variation, the factors of safety cannot represent properly the stability of the rock slope. Therefore, the probabilistic analysis has been used to consider the scattered values. In the deterministic analysis, the factors of safety for the fresh discontinuity and weathered discontinuity are 1.25 and 1.0, respectively. The results indicate the fresh discontinuities are stable for planar failure and the weathered discontinuities are marginally stable. However, the probabilities of failure for the fresh discontinuity and weathered discontinuity are 25.6% and 45.9%, respectively. This shows that both discontinuities are analyzed as unstable in the probabilistic analysis.

The failure of cut slope and landslide sometimes come from a local downpour within a short duration in Korea. Especially, most of recent downpour converged upon a limited region and seemed the characteristics of guerilla. Characteristics of slopes failed due to local downpour are analyzed. failure mode is also analyzed with respect to the depth of soil layers and the change of groundwater level. To blow the influence factors of the slope stability during local downpour, the authors conducted field survey for failed slopes and tried to make a comparative study of 1,372 cut slope data distributed in the national road. FLAC-SLOPE(ITASCA Co.) is used to analyze slope stability with changing depth of soil layers and groundwater level. The result shows that the failed types of domestic slopes during local downpour are mainly shallow collapse and landslide. The change of soil depth and groundwater level have influenced on the stability of slopes.

To analyse the stability of a slope composed of waste material produced in a closed lead mine, numerical modeling has been carried out in two dimension using FLAC, finite difference program. The research was focused on the effect of the earthquake as well as a rise of water table upon slope stability. The numerical results have shown that the slope would not be safe against earthquake event and that the increase of pore pressure due to a rise of water table up to the ground level may result in a failure of the slope. On the basis of numerical analyses and site investigation, two sorts of measures have been taken. In short term, removal of a part of materials deposited on the top of the pile is required to increase immediately safety factor of the slope even a little. In ling term, it is necessary to repair drainage facilities and dam which covers waste material so that the slope is prevented from failure in a radical manner. It has been confirmed by numerical analyses that an improvenment of the stability can be in a great extent expected after such measures have been performed.

절토사면은 토층, 풍화토, 풍화암, 연암, 경암 등의 풍화도가 다른 물질로 구성되어 있어 지반구성 물질에 대한 공학적인 판단이 쉽지 않으며 시공 중 또는 후에 사면의 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 사면의 안정성 문제는 과거 30여 년 동안 고속도로의 많은 절토사면에서 경험되어 왔으며 현재에도 계속적으로 사면붕괴 및 복구를 경험하고 있으나 체계적인 관리 및 조사가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 절토사면의 체계적인 관리체계의 구축과 효율적인 자료분석을 위하여 사면관리용 데이터베이스 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이들 관리프로그램을 활용한다면 국내에 분포하는 암반의 내적 요인들에 대한 지질 공학적인 특성을 파악할 수 있으며 지역에 따라 분포하는 암석종류, 지질시대 및 지질구조에 따라 붕괴유형 및 발생빈도 등을 분석함으로써 도로 및 주택단지의 개설시 예비적인 사면안정문제를 예견할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근의 재해 발생은 하천에 의한 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등에 의한 피해발생보다는 일정지역에 국한적으로 내수배제 불량, 토사유출, 산사태 등으로 인한 피해의 발생이 증가하고 있다. 특히나 도시지역과 신규개발지역을 중심으로 집중호우로 인한 토사유출 등으로 인한 배수로 막힘, 산사태등의 2차적인 피해가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 2011년의 서울의 우면산 산사태 등과 같은 도시중심에서의 피해와 강원도 등의 신규개발지역에서의 토사로 인해 2차, 3차 피해는 국지적이고 예측이 불가능한 곳에서 발생되고 있다. 이러한 토사유출, 산사태에 의한 예측기법은 최근의 정보기술의 발달로 인해 보다 다양한 방법의 접근들이 시도되고 있으며, 이에 대한 정량적인 평가기법들이 개발되고 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산지지형의 소규모 개발지의 토사재해의 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 GIS 기술을 이용한 사면의 안정성과 산사태 위험성을 평가하는 대표적인 방법으로 Pack et al. (1998)이 제안한 수리적 무한사면 안정모델과 결합하여 사면안정분석을 위해 개발된 SINMAP을 이용하여 소규모 개발지역의 토석류 해석과 사면의 안정성 검토 그리고 범용토양공식을 이용하여 토사유출량을 산정하여 개발지역내 사면 및 토사재해의 위험성을 평가하였다. GIS를 이용한 지형적 특성에 따른 사면의 위험성과 토사유출량 해석 결과를 이용하여 소규모 개발지역의 토사재해의 위험성을 정량적이고 다각적으로 평가하여 재해발생에 따른 위험성을 노출하고 이에 대한 대책 수립에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
