KICT has been carrying out inventory research on the cut slopes of national roads. Inventory research results are basic data to cut slope management system. Inventory data are classified by general status, cut slope characteristics and inspector opinion. Inventory data are utilized to figure out dangerous slopes and decide survey ranking of detailed safety diagnostication. This paper drew the distribution area of dangerous cut slopes using inventory data in Chungcheongdo, and verified efficiency on distribution area of dangerous cut slopes by comparing occurrence frequency of real collapsed cut slopes.

Many cut slopes are located near national highways, resulting in large annual damage to infrastructure from the collapse of cut slopes. Therefore, to effectively maintain cut slopes, high-risk slopes should be identified and monitored. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of the management of cut slopes using the risk score calculated from cut-slope inventory data. The inventory survey, as a simple assessment of the characteristics of various slopes, was performed to collect basic data that could be obtained visually in the field for the management of cut slopes. This method is not a precise survey, and it was composed of the general status and characteristics of cut slopes, the inspector's assessment, and inventory data in order to estimate a risk score for each slope. In this paper, we calculated the risk score by investigating the present status of cut slopes adjacent to 10,461 national roads. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of using risk score data, we compared the score for stable slopes with those of failed cut slopes. Failed cut slopes occurred in sections with the highest risk score. The results show that risk score derived from the inventory survey of cut slopes are useful in the management of cut slopes with risk of failure and in monitoring large numbers of cut slopes.

KICT (Korea Institute of Construction and Technology) and KISTEC (Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Corporation) have been carrying out inventory survey on cut slopes along national roads since 2006. Unlike precision safety check, cut slope inventory survey is a simple check about cut slope's characteristics with the naked eye to collect the data base of slope maintenance. Inventory survey is classified into general status, cut slope characteristics and inspector opinions. The inventory data are analyzed to identify dangerous slopes and decide a safety ranking. In this paper, we performed a correlation analysis using SPSS (ver.15) about the 10,461 cut slope inventory data which are collected in Kangwondo and Chungcheongdo from 2006 to 2008. We calculated the correlation coefficient between cut slope inventory data and the danger score derived from the data. And we evaluated cut slope inventory data which have the more influence on the danger degree of cut slope. According to results of correlation analysis, we found that inventory data influencing cut slope danger degree are stuck and fallen rock, orientation of discontinuity and angle of upper slope. And these data are slightly different by regionally. Later on, if inventory research is finished, we will understand regional characteristics of cut slopes.

National Road No.24 connects Ulju-gun in Ulsan Metropolitan City and Milyang city in south Gyongsang Province. The width of the road is small and narrow and many of the dangerous cut slopes are distributed along the way. In 2002, the government officer carried on the brief exploration about road cut slopes, and KICT conduct a detailed additionally investigations 57 dangerous cut slope sites of them. We gained a variety of information of the each slope such as length, slope, discontinuites et al.
