Conventional slope stability analysis is focused on calculating minimum factor of safety or maximum probability of failure. To minimize inherent uncertainty of soil properties and analytical model and to reflect various analytical models and its failure shape in slope stability analysis, slope stability analysis method considering simultaneous failure probability for multi failure mode was proposed. Linear programming recently introduced in system reliability analysis was used for calculation of simultaneous failure probability. System reliability analysis for various analytical models could be executed by this method. Optimum design to determine angle of a simple slope is executed for multi failure mode using linear programming. Because of complex consideration for various failure shapes and modes, it is possible to secure advanced safety by using simultaneous failure probability.

Heaving of road and subsidence of slope took place at the Wiri region of the local highway 999 in Gyeongsangbukdo, Korea after heavy rain in the next year of construction. Although the state government had performed remedial treatments by reducing the angle and the height of the slope, deformation had never stopped. Therefore, we have preformed the analysis of deformation and stabilityof the slope. Study area consists of the Cretaceous shale, siltstone and sandstone and two faults are found. The major deformation occurred by sliding of rock mass along faults after heavy rain because not only thepore pressure at the fault plane and the unit weight of sliding mass increased, but did the shearstrength of saturated fault clay become very low. The decrease in shear strength of saturated fault clayis the major factor among the reasons for deformation. Numerical simulations using limit equilibriummodel, finite difference model and finite element model were performed for eight cross sections.Although safety factors are above 1.7 during the dry season, they become below 1.0 when groundwaterlevel raises to surface. The maximum displacement is about 15-3Ocm. However, safety factors increasedto above 2.4 and the maximum displacement is below 2.08cm after remedial treatment, Indicating thatthe slope becomes stable.

Three-dimensional slope stability analysis was applied to a failed dual-lithology slope containing both granite and an andesitic dyke, taking account of the differences in shear strength of the different lithologies. A direct shear test of the soil-rock boundary was performed to examine the shear strength of two different types of failure surfaces within different lithologies, and a laboratory test was performed on an upper, weathered soil layer. The test results indicate that shear strength was lower at the soil-rock boundary than within the weathered soil layer. A representative geological section was subjected to two-dimensional slope stability analysis using a limit equilibrium method to assess whether the distribution of lithologies upon the slope influences the results of stability analysis. The results were then compared with those of three-dimensional slope stability analysis, for which input parameters can be varied according to the distribution of lithologies upon the slope. The three-dimensional analysis yielded safety factors of 1.26 under dry conditions and 0.55 under wet conditions, whereas the two-dimensional analysis yielded unstable safety factors of 0.92 and 0.32, respectively. These findings show that the results of stability analysis are affected by the distribution of different lithologies upon the slope. Given that the studied slope collapsed immediately after rainfall, it is likely that the results of the three-dimensional analysis are more reliable.

본 연구의 목적은 교대가 설치된 지반의 사면안전율과 교대측방변위의 관계를 분석하여 교대의 측방이동 판정기준을 마련하고자 함에 있다. 이를 위하여 국내의 연약지반에 설치된 30개 교대의 측방이동사례를 조사하고, SLOPILE (Ver 2.0)프로그램을 이용하여 교대의 측방변위와 교대기초말뚝의 사면안정효과를 고려한 사면안정해석을 실시한다. 해석결과 교대기초말뚝의 실측측방변위를 고려할 경우 1.8이상 되어야 한다. 또한, 교대기초말뚝의 허용측방변위량에 따른 사면안정 해석결과, 교대의 허용측방변위가 작게 규정될수록 사면안정성에 기여하는 말뚝의 효과는 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Slope failure that is occurred by rainfall generates a lot of property damages and loss of lives. Slope stability management and reinforcement countermeasure can be attained through continuous monitoring about various slope types that adjoin in human's life for reducing slope failure from natural and artificial cut slope hazards. The study area is rock slope that is consisted of gneiss, and large scale joint set is ranging by fault activity. This rock mass is exposed during long period and has lithological weathering property of weathered rock or soft rock. In-situ investigation carried out after divide by natural slope and cut slope. As a result, the natural slope appeared to high possibility of planar failure and wedge failure in few joint points that main joint set is formed. On the other hand, slope failure conformation in cut slope was superior only wedge failure occurrence possibility in eight joint points. In result of numerical analysis using SLIDE 2D, the minimum safety factor was analyzed slope stability for cut slope relatively low than natural slope in this study.

The information of cut slope in Baekyang Mt. area, Busan is investigated in order to construct the Slope Management System in Urban Area. The slope inspection sheet is made to record the characteristics for cut slopes, and that is capable to be inputted slope information systematically. The cut slopes in Baekyang Mt. area are consisting of 103 slopes. Most of the cut slopes are constructed in cutting slope and retaining wall (CR). The school is mostly distributed adjacent to cut slopes. The average traverse of cut slopes is approximately 122m, and the average height is approximately 18m. The slopes combined with soil and rock are mostly distributed. The retaining wall was installed in the toe part of cut slope in order to increase the slope stability, and the additional reinforcement methods including the anchor, drainage, preventing rock fall, shotcrete and vegetation were installed in the walls and slopes.

Limit equilibrium analysis and finite difference analysis were used to evaluate slope stability in the in Gohan, Korea, which is affected by large-scale tensile cracks and uplift. There is a thick colluvial layer in the study area and predicting ground behavior is problematic because the presence of clay makes it difficult to determine the strength parameters of the soil. Consequently, a numerical model able to reflect the collapse properties of the site was required that applied the modified boundary layer model and calculated the strength parameters using back analysis. The numerical simulation results that consider the strength parameter one does with the present situation the establishment of the pile is completed, and the simulation is able to asses ground stability in complex terrain in a reliable manner. Also the somewhat it judges with the fact that it will be able to provide the fundamental data which secures the stability of the segment where it is unstable.

In general, slope failures are occurred by the interaction among various factors(slope shape, hydraulic condition, and geologic condition, etc.). Hydraulic condition was a very important factor of a stability in cut slope and a dangerous of road passing. In this study, two cut-slope case on prescription of spring out water present. And this study data is used at practical affairs.

절리가 발달한 암반사면의 경우, 토사사면의 안전율 평가를 위해 널리 이용되는 한계평형법을 이용한 해석법은 파괴 활동면을 가장할 수 없기 때문에 사용이 곤란하다. 한편, 비등방 탄소성 모델(편재절리모델)을 사용하여 2조의 절리군을 가진 암반사면의 안전율을 계산할 수 있는 방법이 개발되었지만, 이 방법은 개별절리를 효과적으로 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 개별절리를 고려한 불연속체 해석에 의한 암반사면의 안정성 해석시 사면의 안전율을 평가하는 기법을 개발하였다. 이를 위해, 절리 전단강도 감소기법을 적용하였으며, UEDC의 내장 언어인 FISH를 사용하여 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 실제 절리 암반사면을 대상으로 절리를 측정하고, 개발된 기법에 의한 사면의 안전율을 구하였으며, 동일한 사면에 대해 등가연속체로 가정한 편재절리모델 해석을 수행하여 결과를 비교하였다.

암반사면의 안정성은 암반내에 발달된 불연속면의 기하학적 속성과 강도정수에 크게 영향을 받으며, 사면방향에 대한 불연속면들의 상대적인 방향성들은 구조적으로 발생 가능한 붕괴양상을 결정하게 된다. 불연속면을 따라 미끄러짐이 발생하는 암반사면의 불안정성 분석에는 결정론적인 해석(deterministic analysis)과 확률론적인 해석(probabilistic analysis)들을 포함하여 수많은 방법들이 이용되고 있다. (중략)
