A man-made slope has been increased due to the construction of road. This slope lies at risk of rock falling, induced mostly by heavy rainfall. The MOLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) recommends the specific dimension of rockfall protection fence (post, wire-rope, and mesh) which should resist 48~61 kJ. However, the energy absorption capacity of each component of rockfall protection fence is not clearly presented. Hence, this study made an effort to compute the energy absorption capacity of each component in analytical and numerical method, and compared with each other.

In this study, a field test was conducted to present a test method for performance evaluation of a rock fall prevention fence, centering on the vertical drop test among the existing test methods of the rock fall prevention fence. A test to determine the support capacity of a rockfall prevention fence in Korea is usually conducted using a combination of wire mesh, poles, and wire rope, and the location of the impact of falling rocks has been conducted centered on the center of the wire mesh. However, in the case of domestic papers and test data, there is no data on direct hit of post. Therefore, the amount of displacement and weak section were analyzed when the impact on 100kJ class rock energy was hit on the post, centering on the Rockfall Protection fence (highway type No. 2).

This paper describes the cause and measure of road structures failures in Kangwon area for year 2006 rain fall. Localized rainfall due to abnormal climate generates rock or dirt flows in upper stream and leads, the road structure failure located on mountains terrane. Main cause of such failures erosion, debris-flow, insufficient supply of culvert drainage system in ravine areas. It is needed to enhance the design methodology of road-drainage system and the remediation technology of rock and dirt flows

Debris flows are a natural hazard which looks like a combination of flood, land and rock slide. Large rainfall in July 2006 produced several large scale debris flows and many small debris flows that resulted in loss of life and considerable property and railway damage, as was widely reported in the national media. The hazard "debris flow" is still insufficiently researched. Furthermore debris flows are very hard to predict. Flexible Ring net barriers are multi-functional mitigation devices commonly applied to rock fall or floating wood protection in floods, snow avalanches and also mud flows or granular debris flows, if properly dimensioned for the process or processes for which they are intended. Overtopping of the barriers by debris flows and sediment transport is possible, supporting the design concept that a series of barriers may be used to stop volumes of debris larger than are possible using only one barrier. The future for these barrier concepts looks promising because these barriers represent the state of art for such applications and are superior to many other available options.

In this paper, barrier panels against falling stones have been studied experimentally with various specimens. Test results show that stiffened barrier panels show more sufficient capacity than unstiffened barrier. Each type barrier panel can be used for various situations. New barrier panel is good for increasing strength and improving environment and maintaining cost down.

The purpose of this case study is stability security in Talus and Coal Shale. The failure possibility of Talus area is high because of ground loss. The Coal Shale area is very week and large scale sliding possibility is high.

낙석에 대한 시뮬레이션과 낙석 발생 예측 연구들이 상당히 진행되었으며 낙성 피해 방지를 위한 낙석방지시설들을 꾸준히 설치되고 있으나 2023년 4월에도 자동차 전용 도로에서 낙석에 의한 피해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 운전자들에게 낙석 발생 사실을 미리 알릴 수 있도록 자동차 전용 도로에서 발생하는 진동 데이터들을 중심으로 낙석이 발생하면 탐지할 수 있는 합성곱 모델을 연구한다.

A series of geotechnical surveys and in-situ tests were carried out to evaluate the stability of underground mine cave in an abandoned coal mine. After the closure of the mine, the underground mine drifts have been utilized for a tourist route since 1999. The dimension of the main cave is 5m width, 3m height and 230m length. The surrounding rock mass of the cave is consist of black shale, coal and limestone. Also, the main cave is intersected by two fault zone. Detailed field investigations including Rock Mass Rating(RMR), Geological Strength Index(GSI) and Q classification were performed to evaluate the stability of the main cave and to examine the necessity of reinforcement. Based on the results of rock mass classification and numerical analysis, suitable support design was recommended for the main cave. RMR and Q values of the rock masses were classified in the range of fair to good. According to the support categories proposed by Grimstad & Barton(1993), these classes fall in the reinforcement category of the Type 3 to Type 1. A Type 3 reinforcement category signifies systematic bolting and no support is necessary for the Type 1 case. From the result of numerical analysis, it was inferred that additional support on the several unstable blocks is required to ensure stability of the cave.

The plutonic rocks in Seonsan area are divided into dioritic-syenitic rock, gneissose granite, biotite granite and fine grained biotite granite. These rocks intruded into the Pre-cambrian metamorphic complex and are all covered by the Cretaceous Nakdong formation. According to modal minerals, dioritic-syenitic rock corresponds to quartz monzonite, granodiorite, tonalite fields, whereas all the other plutonic rocks fall in granite field. Petrochemically the dioritic-syenitic rock is lower in SiO$_2$ content, differentiation index and Larsen index than all the other plutonic rocks. About the zircon morphology, dioritic-syenitic rock shows (100) dominant type but other granitic rocks exhibit mixed types between (100) and (110) type. The dioritic-syenitic rock could be crystallized in higher temperature than the other plutonic rocks. The plutonic rocks correspond to calc-alkaline rock series, and belong to I-type granite and mostly magnetite-series in magmatic origin. In plutonic processes, the dioritic-syenitic rock with 5kb vapor pressure could intrude into the metamorphic batement at 17km deep below the surface. Later the gneissose granite with lower 3kb vapor pressure could intrude at 10km deep. Sequentially the biotite granite with 0.7kb could intrude at 2km deep. Finally the fine grained biotite granite with 3kb vapor pressure could intrude at 10km deep.

The Weolseong diatreme crops out about 28km south of Kyeongju City, Korea. The diatreme is a circular shaped volcanic vent, 1.2km in diameter, that formed subaerially, probably by phreatomagmatic (phreatoplinian) eruptions of Tertiary age. The rocks occupying the display well developed layering produced by base surge and proximal ba11istic fall. Accretionary lapilli are a common component. The rocks comprise tuff breccia and fine-grained rock derived from the vent walls. This sequence has undergone subsidence of at least over 650m. Most explanations for the presence of bedded tuffs at considerable depths within a volcanic pipe involve subsidence. Comparable amount of subsidence are recorded in many diatremes in other parts of the world. The ore body is distinctly circular and funnel shaped in center of diatreme. The vent area of diatreme served as channel ways for the mineralized hydrothermal fluids.
