Tree roots can enhance soil shear strength and slope stability. However, there has been a limited study about root reinforcement of major tree species in Korea because of some experimental difficulties. Thus, this study was conducted to analyze the performance of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) and Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) which are two common plantation species in Korea. Profile wall method was used to measure the spatial distribution of root system and its diameter within 15 soil walls of Japanese larch stand and 13 soil walls of Korean pine stand in Taehwa University Forest, Seoul National University, Korea. Root tensile properties of each species were assessed in the laboratory, and root reinforcements were estimated by Wu model. The study observed that the number and cross-sectional area (CSA) of root in both species could tend to decrease with soil depth. Especially, CSA were well-fitted to exponential functions of soil depth. Mean root area ratios (RAR) were 0.03% and 0.10% for Japanese larch and Korean pine, respectively. Estimated root reinforcement from Wu model were, on the average, 4.04 kPa for Japanese larch and 12.26 kPa for Korean pine. Overall, it was concluded that root reinforcement increased the factor of safety (Fs) of slope for small-scale landslide as the result of two-dimensional (2-D) infinite slope stability analysis considering vegetation effects.

This study measured the shearing resistance of the roots of the Sasamorpha purpurascens, Miscanthus sinensis, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya by the tensile strength gained through their individual tensile test for the Root Reinforcement Model. The results to have measured this stress by experiment are as follows. 1) The mean root diameter of the Lespedeza cyrtobotrya used for this experiment was 2.19mm and the mean tensile stress was calculated as $929.489kgf/cm^2$. As for the Sasamorpha purpurascens, its mean root diameter was 1.727mm, and the mean tensile stress was $292.069kgf/cm^2$. And as for the Miscanthus sinensis, its mean root diameter was 0.814mm, and the mean tensile stress was $696.947kgf/cm^2$. And so, it was grasped that Lespedeza cyrtobotrya was highest in tensile stress. 2) ${\Delta}Cr(kg/cm^2)$ of the shearing resistance calculated by estimating the areal ratio of roots at $10^{-3}$ is $1.069kg/cm^2$ in Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, $0.336kg/cm^2$ in Sasamorpha purpurascens, and $0.801kg/cm^2$ in Miscanthus sinensis. That is, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya has the highest shearing resistance. However, since a precise analysis of the controlled factors of the slope analyses are demanded for more accurate dynamic analyses, the future demands a study on this.

To examine the soil reinforcement by the shrub with shallow root systems for slope stability, we developed insitu apparatus for direct shear test and conducted the insitu field tests for Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, a representative revegetation species for artificial hillslopes. The insitu field tests were conducted for two different soil conditions (the rooted soils and non-rooted soils) and we then compared the experimental values with those calculated from the Wu model. The results showed that the soil reinforcement derived from the insitu field tests ranged from 0.01525 to 0.1438 $kgf/cm^2$ while the one calculated from the Wu model ranged from 0.1952 to 0.2696 $kgf/cm^2$. Our finding suggests more field tests are needed to collect the related parameters in the model application thereby predicting the reliable soil reinforcement by the shrub root systems.

This study measured the shearing resistance of the roots of the Pinus Koraiensis by the tensile strength gained through their individual tensile test for the Root Reinforcement Model. On the basis of the shearing resistance value calculated through such a process the factor of safety(Fs) was comparatively presented by using the simplified Janbu Method in PCSTABL5M, the slop-analyzing software which had been developed in Purdue University of the U.S.A according to the shape of a slope and the type of soil. The results to have measured a stress and the factor of safety(Fs) by experiment are as follows. 1) The mean root diameter of the Pinus Koraiensis used for this experiment was 2.483mm and the mean tensile stress was calculated as 422.846(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). In the strain ratio of material and the elastic modulus was measured 7.8%, 9,291.92(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). 2) The shearing strength including the resistance of soil and root is expressed as Rt=C+Cr+$\sigma$.tan . ΔCr(kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of the shearing resistance calculated by estimating the areal ratio of roots at 10 is 0.253(kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). 3) As the result of making an analysis of the natural slope stability by the soil parameter, the factor of safety(Fs) was calculated at 1.795 in CL, and the stability analysis of the root reinforcement slope, Fs was calculated at 1.952. However, since a precise analysis of the controlled factors of the slope analyses are demanded for more accurate dynamic analyses, the future demands a study on this.

우리나라는 전 국토의 약 70%가 산지로 구성되어 있고, 장마 및 태풍 등에 의해 산사태가 매년 발생하여 큰 피해를 주고 있는 실정이다. 이것은 또한, 도시의 팽창과 더불어 산업화의 발전에 의해서도 해마다 그 발생횟수가 증가하고 있다. 2002년 8월 발생한 태풍 루사는 우리나라 곳곳에 심각한 영향을 끼쳤으며, 특히 강원도 강릉 지역에 가장 큰 피해를 야기했다. 이런 위험 지역의 삼림이나 산사태 관리를 위해 산사태 위험도가 반드시 필요하다고 여겨진다. 지리정보 시스템(GIS)은 산사태 위험도를 제작하기에 시간 뿐 아니라, 노동력과 비용을 경감시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 위험 지역에 대한 조사와 공간적 예측 모델을 구축하는데 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다. 다양한 방법들로 산사태 위험도를 제작할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 뿌리보강 모델을 활용하였다. 이 모델은 경사도, 토심, 토양의 특성과 식생과 같은 인자들을 활용하여 산사태 위험도를 작성하였다.

자연사면의 안정성해석에 있어서, 뿌리는 보강재로써의 역할을 행함이 인식 되어져 왔다. 자연사 면의 잠정적 인 파괴면을 관통하는 뿌리의 인장강도에 의 해 발생하는 흙의 전단저 항의 증가량을 예측하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 흙과 뿌리의 새로운 상호작용 모델을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 첫째로, 수과 뿌리의 합성체에 대해 실내실험과 현장실험을 실시하고 본 실험의 결과와 기존의 흙과 뿌리의 상호작용 이론적 모델과 비교 검토하여 수정 된 구과 뿌리의 상호작용 모델을 제안하였다. 이와 아울 러, 뿌리의 무작위한 분포 및 강도특성을 고려한, 통계적인 이론에 바탕을 둔 확률론적 뿌리보강 모델을 제안하였다. 끝으로, 자연사면의 안정에 미치는 뿌리보강의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 간단한 3차원 사면 안정성해석을 수행한 결과, 자연사면에서의 뿌리보강은 깊은 파괴보다는 얇은 파괴에 대 해 중대한 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

수목은 뿌리에 의한 토양수분의 제거와 기계적인 보강효과를 통해 토괴가 사면 하부로 이동하는 것을 막아 안정하게 하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 자연사면상에서 이런 보강효과를 정량화하기 위해, 표준사에 다른 형태로 수목의 뿌리를 내재시켜 직접전단시험을 실시하였으며, 공시뿌리로서는 잣나무가 이용되었다. 실험은 뿌리가 내재된 것과 그렇지 않은 토양에서 실시하였으며, 여러 수준의 수직구속 압력에서 최대 전단저항력을 측정하였다. 뿌리에 의해 증가된 토양전단저항력은 측정된 토양의 내부마찰각과 점착력 등의 토양변수를 이용하여 계산하였으며, 전단상자내의 뿌리배열에 의한 효과도 함께 분석하였다. 실험결과 전단저항력은 뿌리의 개수와 직경이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 뿌리의 배열 형태가 십자 배열일 때 가장 큰 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 실험을 통해 확인한 전통적인 토양보강 모델과의 비교에서는 기존 모델의 선형성으로 실제 실험 결과와 일치하지 않는 경향을 나타내었다.

보-기둥 접합부에서 보의 축방향 철근의 슬립은 정하중 및 동하중 하에서 철근 콘크리트 골조를 손상시키는 중요한 요인중 하나이다. 이 논문은 이형철근의 국부 부착-슬립 특성에 관한 콘크리트강도 및 보강철근에 대해 실행된 실험결과를 요약하였다. 실험결과로부터 부착할렬균열(bond splitting crack)이 기둥은 축방향 철근에 의해 제어되는 한 횡방향 보강철근이 국부부착거동에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않으며 극한부착강도는 콘크리트강도의 콘크리트강도의 제곱근에 비례해 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 근거로 압축강도에 따른 보강철근 내부의 콘크리트와 이형철근의 국부 부착 응력-슬립 상관관계를 나타내는 실험모델을 유도하였다.

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is being effectively used in many countries to protect embankment and slopes for their characteristics of having long and strong roots. In this paper, in-situ shear tests of the ground with the vetiver roots have been conducted to investigate the stabilization properties corresponding to the embankment slopes. Numerical analyses have also been performed with the finite element method using elastoplastic subloading $t_{ij}$ model, which can simulate typical soil behavior. It is revealed from field tests that the shear strength of vetiver rooted soil matrix is higher than that of the unreinforced soil. The reinforced soil with vetiver root also shows ductile behavior. The numerical analyses capture well the results of the in-situ shear tests. Effectiveness of vetiver root in geotechnical structures-strip foundation and embankment slope has been evaluated by finite element analyses. It is found that the reinforcement with vetiver root enhances the bearing capacities of the grounds and stabilizes the embankment slopes.

This study investigates the application of a synthetic resine based net-hose system to sustain vegetated embankment slope reinforcement. The net-hose system is designated to improve water supply to the vegetation that can suffer the lack of water in case of extreme drying condition or rock slope where water supply is relatively insufficient to ensure the growth of vegetation. A series of laboratory tests were conducted to check the structural adequacy and effectiveness of net-hose system. The results indicated that the model slope equipped with net-hose system seemed to provide better water supply resulting in more vegetated areas and higher matric suction due to active water uptake capacity, which might be contributed to greater shear strength of slope surface. A limited numerical analysis was conducted to verify the effect of water uptake on vegetated root system that generally yields better slope stability.
