Landslides generally occur due to influences of the internal and external factors. Internal factors include ground characteristics, terrain and so on. External factors can also be divided into natural factors such as rainfall, ground water, earthquake and so on, and artificial factors resulting from cutting and embankments. Among these factors, rainfall becomes the most important external factors by means of which landslides occur in Korea. To appropriately deal with tile effects of pore water pressures due to rainfall, the method using the pore water pressure ratio(r$\_$u/) is generally applied in slope stability analysis or the design of slope reinforcements. Since tire value of r,, is in general not constant over the whole cross section, in most slope stability analyses the average values are used with little loss in accuracy. However, determination of the average values of r$\_$u/ to applied in the design is difficult problem. Therefore, in this study, tile average values of r$\_$u/ according to the intensity of rainfall and slope inclination is suggested based on results of the small scaled model tests using the artificial rainfall apparatus. It is found from the model tests that the average values of r$\_$u/ is about 0.07∼0.18(in case of the intensity of rainfall is 50mm/hr.), about 0.10∼0.28(in case of the intensity of rainfall is 100mm/hr.), and about 0.10∼0.33(in case of the intensity of rainfall is 150mm/hr.).

본 연구에서는 산사태 모형토조 실험을 통해 강우침투에 의해 나타나는 산사태의 발생특성 및 지반재료의 변화특성에 관하여 분석하였다. 실험장치는 모형토조, 강우재현장치, 계측장치로 구성되어 있으며, 인공사면 상부에서 200 mm/hr의 극한강우를 살수함으로써 산사태를 유발하였다. 모관흡수력과 체적함수비 계측장치는 인공사면의 천부(GL-0.2 m), 중부(GL-0.4 m), 심부(GL-0.6 m)의 각 심도별로 3세트씩 설치하였으며, 실험은 화강암 풍화토, 편마암 풍화토, 이암 풍화토 각각에 대한 현장조건과 상대적으로 느슨한 조건 및 조밀한 조건으로 나누어 실험을 진행하였다. 분석결과, 극한강우에 의하여 실험 초반에는 사면 표층에서 세굴현상이 우세하게 나타나다가 이후 국지적으로 발생한 횡적인 인장균열면을 따라서 산사태가 발생했다. 산사태는 강우침투에 따른 습윤전선(wetting front)의 전이로 인해 천부에서부터 심부로 점차 확장되는 천층파괴(shallow failure)의 형태를 띰과 동시에 사면의 선단부(toe part)에서부터 정상부(crest part)로 점차 전이되는 후퇴성붕괴(retrogressive failure)의 양상을 보였다. 강우침투에 따른 포화영역에서 모관흡수력은 아무런 전조현상 없이 급격하게 감소하는 반면에, 체적함수비는 점진적으로 증가하다가 최대값에 도달하여 이 값을 일정시간 유지한 뒤 산사태 발생 시 급격히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Cracks in soil provide significant preferential pathways for contaminant transport and rainfall infiltration. Water exchange between the soil matrix and crack is crucial to characterize the preferential flow, which is often quantitatively described by a water exchange ratio. The water exchange ratio is defined as the amount of water flowing from the crack into the clay matrix per unit time. Most of the previous studies on the water exchange ratio mainly focused on cracked sandy soils. The water exchange between cracks and clay matrix were rarely studied mainly due to two reasons: (1) Cracks open upon drying and close upon wetting. The deformable cracks lead to a dynamic change in the water exchange ratio. (2) The aperture of desiccation crack in clay is narrow (generally 0.5 mm to 5 mm) which is difficult to model in experiments. This study will investigate the water exchange between a deformable crack and the clay matrix using a newly developed experimental apparatus. An artificial crack with small aperture was first fabricated in clay without disturbing the clay matrix. Water content sensors and suction sensors were instrumented at different places of the cracked clay to monitor the water content and suction changes. Results showed that the water exchange ratio was relatively large at the initial stage and decreased with the increasing water content in clay matrix. The water exchange ratio increased with increasing crack apertures and approached the largest value when the clay was compacted at the water content to the optimal water content. The effective hydraulic conductivity of the crack-clay matrix interface was about one order of magnitude larger than that of saturated soil matrix.
