강우에 의한 잔류토에서의 얕은 사면파괴는 세계적으로 흔히 볼 수 있는 사면파괴의 형태이다. 본 연구에서는 침투가 사면 표면의 안정에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 한계평형법을 이용하는 무한사면 해석법을 연구하였다. 재현기간에 따른 강우강도가 지속기간이 고려되는 임의의 강우에 의해 유발되는 얕은 사면파괴의 가능성을 평가하기 위해서 Green-Ampt 모델에 바탕을 둔 간략법들이 적용되었다. 간략법들에 의한 결과들과 비교하기 위하여 일련의 수치해석이 수행되었다. 그 결과에 의하면 적절하게 선택된 입력값을 사용하면 수정간략법이 더욱 엄밀한 해석법인 유한요소해석과 근사한 합리적인 결과를 줌을 알 수 있다.

강우에 의한 얕은 사면파괴는 우리 나라에서 흔히 볼수 있는 사면파괴의 형태이다. 본 연구에서는 재현기간에 따른 강우강도와 지속시간을 고려한 한계평형법에 의하여 이러한 얕은 사면파괴의 가능성을 평가하기 위함 방법에 대하여 논의하였다. 이를 위해 일차원 침투모델인 Green-Ampt 모델에 바탕을 둔 두 방법을 고려하였다. 즉 침투능에 따른 침투깊이를 산정하는 Pradel과 Raad의 방법과 일정한(uniform) 강우강도가 작용할 경우 폰딩(ponding)에 대해 해를 주는 Mein과 Larson의 방법을 고려하여 함수특성이 알려진 화강풍화토사면에 적용하였다. 연구결과에 의하며 Pradel과 Raad 방법은 실제 적용된 강우강도가 아닌 침투능을 바탕으로 침투깊이를 산정하므로 Mein과 Larson 방법에 비해 보수적인 사면안정 해석결과를 예측한다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the collapse characteristics by analyzing various factors causing collapse based on field survey and existing data on rock slopes occurring in the construction of roads and industrial complexes in Gyeongsangnam - do area. In the case of the slope where the slope has been directly surveyed, the analysis of the collapse characteristics can be used for the prediction and prevention of slope failure through the continuous collection of the slope data, database construction, management and analysis. The evaluation items used in the collapse characteristics of slope were selected among the items that can be regarded as objective evaluation items among the overlapping factors by comparing the evaluation items frequently used for the evaluation of the existing slope stability among various factors. The type of destruction of the rock slope depends on the type of carcass of the bedrock, such as planar fracture, wedge fracture, onho fracture, and conduction fracture, which are different from each other. And the slope stability analysis should be performed accordingly.

There are two different methods in the stability analysis of slopes depending upon the 1ocations and the types of assumed failure planes, which are the infinite slope analysis and the finite slope analysis. The infinite slope analysis is simple and easier in its application. However, since the method neglects the end effects and assumes the failure plane to be located at the shallow depth and parallel to the slope, the slopes to be analyzed by the method should be limited to a certain range. Thus, it is intended in this paper to define the infinite slopes whose stability may be analyzed by the infinite slope analysis. As a result, it is obtained that the method of infinite slope analysis may be applied to the slopes which have the ratio of the slope height to the depth of the failure plane of 9 or bigger.

In this study, a stochastic analysis procedure based on numerical analysis was proposed to evaluate a kind of intensity-duration rainfall threshold for the initiation of slope failure due to rainfall infiltration. Fragility curves were generated as a function of rainfall intensity-duration from the results of probabilistic slope stability analysis by MCS considering the uncertainty of the soil shear strength, reflecting the results of infiltration analysis of rainfall over time. In the probabilistic analysis, slope stability analyses combined with the infiltration analysis of rainfall were performed to calculate the limit state function. Using the derived fragility curves, a chart showing the relationship between rainfall intensity and slope failure-time was developed. It is based on a probabilistic analysis considering the uncertainty of the soil properties. The proposed probabilistic failure distribution analysis could be beneficial for analyzing the time-dependent failure process of soil slopes due to rainfall infiltration, and for predicting when the slope failure should occur.

A probabilistic model for the failure in a homogeneous soil slope is presented. The Safety of the slope is measured through its probability of failure rather than the customary factor of safety. The safety margin of slope failure is assumed to follow a normal distribution. Sources of uncertainties affecting characterization of soil property in a homogeneous soil layer include inherent spatial variability., estimation error from insufficient samples, and measurement errors. Uncertainties of the shear strength-along potential failure surface are expressed by one-dimensional random field models. The rupture surface, created at toe of a soil slope, has been considered to propagate towards the boundary along a path following an exponential (log-spiral) law. Having derived the statistical characteristics of the rupture surface and of the forces which act along it, the probability of failure of the slope was found. Finally the developed procedure has been applied in a case study to yield the reliability of a soil slope.

The stability of rock slopes is closely related to the factors such as: type of rock, development of geological structures, weathering, characteristics of rock, and the shape of the geological features. When we design the rock slope, the slope stability is determined by the discontinuity causing the circular, plane or wedge failure. The failure happens when the slope is under the unstable geological condition. But in some cases, slope failure has occurred even though the slope is under stable geological conditions. In this respect, this paper presents the plane failure conditions for domestic rock slopes through research of sites where slope failure has occurred regardless of whether or not it satisfied the stable geological conditions.

In analysis of slope stability, deterministic analysis which yields a factor of safety has been used until recently. However, probability of failure is considered as a more efficient method because it deals with the uncertainty and variability of rock mass. In both methods, a factor of safety or a probability of failure is calculated for a slope although characteristics of rock mass, such as characteristics of joints, weathering degree of rock and so on, are not uniform throughout the slope. In this paper, we divided a model slope into several zones depending on conditions of rock mass and joints, and probabilities of failure in each zone are calculated and compared with that calculated in whole slope. The persistence of joint was also used as a parameter in calculation of probability of failure. A rock slope located in Hongcheon, Gangwondo was selected and the probability of failure using zoning and persistence as parameter was calculated to confirm the applicability of model analysis.
