This paper presents an efficient method utilizing user-defined computer functional codes to determine the reliability of an embankment slope with spatially varying soil properties in real time. The soils' mechanical properties varied with the soil layers that had different degrees of compaction and moisture content levels. The Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) for the degree of compaction and Kriging simulation of moisture content variation were adopted and programmed to predict their spatial distributions, respectively, that were subsequently used to characterize the spatial distribution of the soil shear strengths. The shear strength parameters were then integrated into the Geostudio command file to determine the safety factor of the embankment slope. An explicit metamodal for the performance function, using the Kriging method, was established and coded to efficiently compute the failure probability of slope with varying moisture contents. Sensitivity analysis showed that the proposed method significantly reduced the computational time compared to Monte Carlo simulation. About 300 times LHS Geostudio computations were needed to optimize precision and efficiency in determining the failure probability. The results also revealed that an embankment slope is prone to high failure risk if the degree of compaction is low and the moisture content is high.

The seepage quantity analysis of reservoir embankment is very important for assessment of embankment safety. However, the conventional analysis does not consider uncertainty of soil properties. Permeability is known that the coefficient of variation is larger than other soil properties and seepage quantity is highly dependent on the permeability of embankment. Therefore, probabilistic analysis should be carried out for seepage analysis. To designers, however, the probabilistic analysis is not an easy task. In this paper, the method that can be performed probabilistic analysis easily and efficiently through the numerical analysis based commercial program is proposed. Stochastic response surface method is used for approximate the limit state function and when estimating the coefficients, the moving least squares method is applied in order to reduce local error. The probabilistic analysis is performed by LHC-MCS through the response surface. This method was applied to two type (homogeneous, core zone) earth dams and permeability of embankment body and core are considered as random variables. As a result, seepage quantity was predicted effectively by response surface and probabilistic analysis could be successfully implemented.

Snow accumulation on the road frequently induces a big traffic problem in the cold snowy region. Accurate prediction on snow distribution is fundamental for solving drifting snow disasters on roads. The present study adopts the transient method to simulate the wind-induced snow distribution on embankment based on the mixture multiphase model and dynamic mesh technique. The simulation and field measurement are compared to confirm the applicability of the simulation. Furthermore, the process of snow accumulation is revealed. The effects of friction velocity and snow concentration on snow accumulation are analyzed to clarify its mechanism. The results show that the simulation agrees well with the field measurement in trends. Moreover, the snow accumulation on the embankment can be approximately divided into three stages with time, the snow firstly deposited on the windward side, then, accumulation occurs on the leeward side which induced by the wake vortex, finally, the snow distribution reaches an equilibrium state with the slope of approximately 7°. The friction velocity and duration have a significant influence on the snow accumulation, and the vortex scale directly affected the snow deposition range on the embankment leeward side.

This study is a preliminary investigation into the development of a construction method that will protect a reservoir even during over flows caused by severe flooding. Through hydraulic modeling tests, the destructive phenomena caused by spillway-junction scour during reservoir overflow were modeled, and the effects on the embankment during such an overflow and the spillway-junction movements are discussed. The reservoir destruction model used the Tanbu reservoir, located in Gangwondo Chuncheon-si Namsanmyeon (H＝22 m, L＝115 m), as the model reservoir and created an embankment with a 1/60 ratio. We review the spillway-junction safety factor during overflow and embankment movement following reinforcement measures for three different cases: no reinforcement, cemented sand and gravel (CSG) reinforcement and water-blocking sheet reinforcement. The results of this study confirmed that when the spillway-junction is exposed to soil, it is very vulnerable to overflow and that a water-blocking sheet or CSG reinforcement are very effective measures in preventing embankment destruction in the long-term period.

본 연구에서는 모래다짐말뚝 (SCP)로 개량된 연약점토지반상의 성토시공에 있어서 최적설계조건에 대해 현행 설계법과 손실평가함수 및 1차 근사 2계 모멘트법 (AFOSM)에 기초한 신뢰성 설계법으로 비교 검토하였다. 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 안전율(Fs)와 파괴확률($P_F$)는 심한 비선형 관계를 나타냈고, Fs가 1.2로 증가함에 따라 $P_F$는 약 1%까지 급격한 감소를 나타낸 후, 안전율의 증가와 더불어 $P_F$는 점진적으로 감소하였다. 현행 설계법상의 기준 안전율 1.2는 둘의 관계에 있어서 일종의 임계값이며, 이들의 관계가 적절히 고려되어 정립되었다고 판단된다. 2) 최소기대총비용을 나타내는 안전율은 1.15부근으로 현행설계기준 1.2에 다소 못미치는 값으로 나타났고, 파괴확률은 1% 정도로 다소 컸다. 3) 응력분담비 n과 모래의 내부마찰각 ${\phi}$의 민감도가 연약층의 초기비배수강도 관련 변수들의 민감도보다 더 크게 나타났다. 이것은 n과 ${\phi}$의 변동 특성이 보다 해석결과에 큰 영향을 준다는 것과 이들 변동 특성은 SCP 개량지반상의 성토안정해석에 반드시 고려되어야 함을 의미한다. 4) 설계기준안전율 1.2 이상(파괴확률 0.1-0.3% 이하)에서 New Failure Point는 평균치에서 표준편차의 1~2배 가량 떨어져 있는 값을 나타냈다.

저수지 제체의 누수는 주로 세굴현상에 기인하며, 이 세굴현상은 주변의 토괴를 침식하여 결과적으로 제체의 파괴를 유발시키는 주된 요인이다. 따라서 누수구간의 탐지는 효과적인 제체의 유지관리에 필수적인 요소가 된다. 전기비저항 탐사는 저수지 제체의 안전진단에 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 물리탐사 방법으로 특히 세굴현상에 의한 누수구간의 탐지에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 기존의 전기비저항 탐사는 제체 마루에서 수행된 2차원 전기비저항 탐사자료의 역산 단면상에서 저비항대를 누수 위험 구간으로 해석하는 정성적인 단계에 머무르고 있다. 근자에 이르러 상시관측을 통한 전기비저항의 변화율을 이용한 해석방법이 제시되었지만 아직까지 제체의 안전도를 정량적으로 산출하는 기법에 관한 연구는 없는 실정이다. 제체내의 세굴현상이 진행됨에 따라 누수구간은 공극율이 증가하고, 공극율의 증가는 제체의 안전과 직결된다. 본 연구에서는 Archie의 경험식을 근거로 전기비저항 탐사에서 얻어진 건기전도도 자료를 제체부의 공극율로 변환하는 기법을 개발하였다. 또한 전기비저항 상시관측 자료를 이용하여 제체의 안전도 지수를 산출하는 방법론을 제시하고자 하였다.

There are a close relationship between natural disasters and train safety. So it is very important to guaranty train safety using reasonable rail-transport operation control against disasters. Therefore, based on the past record of rainfall at failure, rail-transport operation control for railway embankment under rainfall was set up. After slope check list at home and abroad had been analyzed, new slope check list was suggested and site investigations were carried out using this check list. In order to evaluate the stability of railway slopes under rainfall, explanatory variables and subordinate variables were selected for multi-variate analysis and critical rainfall was defined by statistical process. Rail-transport operation control including regional and geological properties was suggested by analyzing the critical rainfall and rail-transport operation control in other country, and this will be a good tool to control train speed under rainfall and to secure train safety.

In this study it was adopted on sea dike monitoring that the safety monitoring with statistical limits which was adapted usually on safety monitoring by measuring pressures, stresses or deformations. And also the hydraulic head loss rate change according to passage of time was calculated for the purpose of safety monitoring. Safety monitoring by setting the statistical limit on the measured pore water pressure graphs need to be supplemented with an additional method of monitoring because the difference between the rise and fall of the tide was irregular. Safety monitoring by the limits set from values predicted by linear regression and standard errors on the hydraulic head loss graph was not affected by irregularity of tide. But if the condition of an embankment is changed gradually and slowly, it will not be detected on the hydraulic head loss graph. The graph of hydraulic head loss rate for every 24 hours vs date showed clearly that the sea water blocking state was getting better or not even though it was changed gradually and slowly.

Infiltration of rainfall causes railway embankment to be unstable and may result in failure. Basic relationship between the rainfall and stability of railway embankment are defined to analyze the stability of embankment by rainfall. An experimental study for defining of infiltration rate of rainfall into slope is conducted in the lab. The results of Rainfall infiltration show that rainfall infiltration is not equal to infiltration as like reservoir because rate of rainfall infiltration is controlled by slope angle. Based on these results, boundary condition of rainfall is altered and various numerical analysis are performed. The variation of shear strength, the degree of saturation and pore-water pressure for railway slope during rainfall can be predicted and the safety factor of railway slope can be expressed as the function of rainfall amount, namely rainfall index. Therefore, it is judged that this rainfall index can be a good tool for the rail-transport operation control.
