This study is to examine slope activity safety ratio on the strength of the natural sample or soil collected through field test in the slope activity region during destruction happened in the course of soil-relocating work planned for ground improvement under strict supervision at the house-building site, using Bishop's slope analysis method and investigate relationship between slope analysis theories and actual destruction so as to compare determining method of clean water of soil essential for slope activity analysis and accuracy of resulting value of clean water of soil.

This study performed slope stability analysis by changing analysis methods and shear strength with the slope stability analysis program. The conclusions of the study are as follows. 1) The safe factor of clayey soil applied with Bishop's simple method turned out to be similar to or slightly higher than those of other methods, for both dry and saturated conditions. 2) The safe factor of sandy soil applied with GLE method turned out to be slightly higher than those of other methods. But when applied with Bishop's simple method, it appeared to be slightly higher than those of other methods. 3) The safe factor of ordinary soil applied with GLE method showed the highest result. 4) Janbu method showed the lowest safe factor among all the methods for the above three types of soils.

Artificial neural networks are efficient computing techniques that are widely used to solve complex problems in many fields. In this study, a back-propagation neural network model for estimating a consolidation behavior of clay from soil parameter, site investigation data and the first settlement curve is proposed. The training and testing of the network were based on a database of 63 settlement curve from two different sites. Five different network models were used to study the ability of the neural network to predict the desired output to increasing degree of accuracy. The study showed that the neural network model predicted a consolidation behavior of clay reasonably well.

This study examined a case of collapse and reinforcement of the colluvial deposit slope in Kyeongnam Geoje Area. The reason for the collapse was found first in the reduction of the resistant force due to slope-cut for constructing retaining walls. This decreased the resistant force against sliding, which enabled precipitation during the rainy period to seep into the ground in the upper colluvium, resulting in increase in porewater pressure. This leads to decreased shear strength and increased sliding force, which ultimately caused the collapse of the slope. For the long-term stability, methods attained for stability reinforcement are summarized in the following table.

This paper introduces a method of predicting the behavior of compacted soil with an unsaturated soil mechanics by considering the effect of suction as an increasing consolidation yield stress. Two kinds of experiments were conducted. One is a series of static compaction tests to monitor the suction, and the other is a series of compression tests on compacted soil without soaking. The results of our tests indicate that it is possible to derive the distribution of suction on compaction curves and to hypothesize the changes in void ratio in the compression tests that depends on the suction. In addition, a new method is proposed to estimate the consolidation yield stress of compacted soil with a simple chart including compaction curves.

The steel retaining wall(s.r.w) are not constructed broadly all over the world. So the method of the analysis and the estimation for the behavior of the s.r.w. the interactive behavior of the frame and the fill material. In this study, the numerical analysis using F.E.M. was made to analize the mutural relation of the frame and the fill material in prior to the s.r.w. model test.

This paper presents the results of small scale model tests on the behavior of propped wall and ground movements during deep excavation. Small scale model tests were performed in order to investigate the effects of various influencing factors on the deep excavation, such as stiffness of ground and unsupported span length. The results of model tests indicated that the wall behavior is significantly influenced not only by the stiffness of ground but by the over-excavation, and that the wall behavior can be reduced by decreasing the unsupported span length and increasing the stiffness of ground.

As a result of industrial advancement and land development, a number of highway slopes have been gradually formed and numerous problems related to their stability have been frequently caused. Generally, major factors for rock slope stability are lithology, slope inclination, slope height, degree of weathering, precipitation, condition of groundwater and so onl. Many complex factors are mostly involved in the collapse of rock slopes. In this study, a database for 94 collapsed Jungang highway slopes were set up using GIS program through literature search, site investigation, geological map and Korea tectonic province map. The analyses for the collapsed factor including sort of rock(by origin), tectonic province, highway direction, slope gradient and direction, degree of weathering, slope height were carried.

In this study, the effects of temperature on loading of long-span strut were studied by using field monitoring and numerical analysis. For the field monitoring, several sensors, such as stain gages, temperature gages and load cells, were installed on the struts. From the monitoring results, the relation between temperature and axial force of the struts was analysed. By numerical analysis, the changes of axial force of strut and lateral displacement of wall due to temperature change were described with the strut length and ground conditions.

In this study, the potential for liquefaction in the Incheon international airport was calculated by appling the standard penetration test data and laboratory test data to the modified Seed & Idriss(2001) method. The analysis was performed on the non-plastic silty layer and silty sand layer which within the depth of 20m, below 20 of the standard penetration value(N), and the ground water level. Also, each set of data was mapped by using GIS(geographic information systems) and the factor of safety for the potential for liquefaction was obtained by overlapping those layers. As a result, it was found that there exist potential hazard zone for the liquefaction partially. So, the additional detailed assessments for those are thought to be necessary.
