Currently, layered geogrid method (LGM) is the commonly practiced technique for reinforcement of slopes. In this paper the geogrid-box method (GBM) is introduced as a new approach for reinforcement of rock-soil slopes. To achieve the objectives of this study, a laboratory setup was designed and the slopes without reinforcements and reinforced with LGM and GBM were tested under the loading of a circular footing. The effect of vertical spacing between geogrid layers and box thickness on normalized bearing capacity and failure mechanism of slopes was investigated. A series of 3D finite element analysis were also performed using ABAQUS software to supplement the results of the model tests. The results indicated that the load-settlement behavior and the ultimate bearing capacity of footing can be significantly improved by the inclusion of reinforcing geogrid in the soil. It was found that for the slopes reinforced with GBM, the displacement contours are widely distributed in the rock-soil mass underneath the footing in greater width and depth than that in the reinforced slope with LGM, which in turn results in higher bearing capacity. It was also established that by reducing the thickness of geogrid-boxes, the distribution and depth of displacement contours increases and a longer failure surface is developed, which suggests the enhanced bearing capacity of the slope. Based on the studied designs, the ultimate bearing capacity of the GBM-reinforced slope was found to be 11.16% higher than that of the slope reinforced with LGM. The results also indicated that, reinforcement of rock-soil slopes using GBM causes an improvement in the ultimate bearing capacity as high as 24.8 times more than that of the unreinforced slope.

The aim of this study was to analyze the slope stability relating to the failure of cut slopes and the characteristics of stress-strain relations obtained by limit equilibrium method, finite element method, and stereographic projection method for the reinforced cut slopes. The following conclusions were made : 1.To use stereographic projection method led to little possibility to take the toppling and wedge failure while to use the other methods led to the failure. It was recommended to reduce the slope inclination from 1:1 to 1: 1.5~1 :1.8 and adopt coir mesh method to protect the slope surface. position with the horizontal displacement after final excavation moved to the excavation base. The maximum shear strain values concentrated at the excavation base indicated the possibility to induce the local failure. 3. It was recommended that the slope inclination for blast rock with the slope height larger than l0m was 1: 0.5, 1:1, and 1: 1~1 :1.5 for hard rocks, soft and ordinary rocks, and ripping and soils, respectively. 4. Berm width criteria for blast rock with the slope height larger than l0m were recommended as follow : 2~3m per 20m slope height for hard rocks, 1 ~2m per l0m slope height for soft and ordinary rocks, 1 ~ l.5m per 5m slope height for ripping and soils.

A series of bearing capacity tests was conducted with eccentrically loaded model surface and shallow strip footings resting close to a slope to investigate behavior of such footings (ultimate loads, failure surfaces, load-displacement curves, rotation of footing, etc.). Ultimate loads of footing close to slope decreased with increasing eccentricity for both surface and shallow footings. Failure surfaces were not symmetrical, primary failure surfaces occurred on the eccentricity side (the slope side) and secondary failure surfaces occurred on the other side. Lengths of failure surfaces decreased with increasing eccentricity. Footings always rotated towards eccentricity side a few degrees. For eccentrically loaded footing, decrease in ultimate load with increasing eccentricity is roughly in agreement with Customary Analysis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vegetation on the cutting slope applied by vegetation system in the whole land. The engineering characteristics of slopes were investigated using the face mapping and physical tests. From the statistical methods, a relationship between a geologic stratum and degree of covering was independent. Therefore, the afforestation of slope was affected more by condition of vegetation as direction and opening of joints, and a topsoil state than by conventional classification of layer. It was concluded that the adjustable vegetation on the slope considering condition of geometric shape of slope, joint data and spontaneous type could make useful early afforestation.

This study aimed to realize the creation of fuzzy stochastic damage to describe reliability more essentially with the analysis of harmony of damage conception, probability and fuzzy degree of membership in interval [0,1]. Two kinds of fuzzy behaviors of damage development were deduced. Fuzzy stochastic damage models were established based on the fuzzy memberships functional and equivalent normalization theory. Fuzzy stochastic damage finite element method was developed as the approach to reliability simulation. The three-dimensional fuzzy stochastic damage mechanical behaviors of Jianshan mine slope were analyzed and examined based on this approach. The comprehensive results, including the displacement, stress, damage and their stochastic characteristics, indicate consistently that the failure foci of Jianshan mine slope are the slope-cutting areas where, with the maximal failure probability 40%, the hazardous Domino effects will motivate the neighboring rock bodies' sliding activities.

The percentage of a mountainous district in our country is comparatively high but the concern for rock mass has been disregarded for a long time. Especially for rock slope, the most important factors are geometric characteristics and their shear strength parameter. In this paper, parametric studies are performed using the distinct element computer program UDEC-BB for rock slopes. Parameters adopted in this paper are joint angle, spacing, persistence, aperture and shear strength parameters (JRC, JCS, basic friction angle). To estimate slope stability, shear strength reduction method is used. The most important factors affecting rock slope stability are joint angle and spacing. The relationship between average displacement calculated by UDEC-BB and safe factor by shear strength reduction method is researched.

토사면의 붕괴는 매년 해빙기와 여름철 집중호우기에 자주 발생한다. 본 연구는 지반의 거동에 대한 원인을 분석하고 향후 사면 붕괴의 거동을 예측하기 위하여 상시 계측시스템을 도입한 현장에서 수집된 자료를 해석한 것이다. 연구방법으로 현장조사와 계측결과를 종합적으로 검토하여 붕괴 규모 및 붕괴 메카니즘을 분석하였다. 또한, 현장에 설치된 상시 계측시스템 전송 자료 분석과 수반하여 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 본 절토사면은 총 17개의 신축계 센서를 설치하여 계측을 실시하였으며, 그 결과, 총 3회의 지반 변위가 발생하였고 부분적으로 다수의 인장균열이 발생하였다. 사암과 세일로 구성된 본 절토사면에서 집중호우와 하부 지지력 상실에 기인하여 초기 거동이 시작되었다. 지반거동 특성의 정량적 분석을 위하여 총 5개의 측선을 구성하여 계측을 실시하였다. 계측결과를 종합하여 보면 대책공법이 기 시공된 구간에서는 매우 미미한 변이가 발생되었으나, 대책방안이 마련되지 않은 구간에서는 최대 400mm이상의 변위가 진행되고 있다. 변위 자료와 강우자료의 분석결과 지반의 거동과 강우와는 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 지반의 포화도를 변화하면서 안정성 해석을 실시한 결과, 지반 포화도가 55%이상 일때부터 안전율이 1.0이하로 나타나는 것을 알 수 있다. 현재의 지반거동 추이는 오차 범위내에 속하는 안정한 단계로 판단되어지나, 향후 동절기의 외부온도 변화와 동반하여 지반의 변동이 우려되므로 인하여 지속적인 관찰과 자료 분석이 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

연직배수재가 설치된 연약지반 상에 도로성토를 실시할 경우 연약지반에 측방유동이 발생될 지 여부를 예측할 수 있는 방법이 제안되었다. 이 측방유동예측법을 조사하기위해 연직배수공법을 적용하여 지반개량공사가 실시된 연약지반 상에 도로성토가 시공된 우리나라 서해안과 남해안 지역 연약지반에서 계측관리가 실시된 13개 현장 200개 측점의 현장계측자료를 수집 분석하였다. 수평배수재를 설치한 연약지반에서 수평변위와 사면안전율과의 관계를 조사할 경우는 연약지반의 지표면수평변위량 보다는 지중최대수평변위량을 적용하는 것이 바람직하였다. 성토사면의 사면안전율이 1.4 이상이면 대부분의 연약지반 최대수평변위는 50mm 이하로 발생되었고 사면안전율이 1.2 이하이면 대부분의 최대수평변위는 100mm 이상으로 발생되었다. 최대수평변위량이 50mm 이하로 발생하면 전단변형이 발생하지 않았으므로 측방유동이 발생할 우려가 없는 안전한 현장으로 판단된다. 반면에 최대수평변위량이 100mm 이상으로 크게 발생하는 현장에서는 전단파괴가 발생할 가능성이 있다고 판단된다. 이런 현장에서는 즉각 대책을 강구한 후 성토를 계속함이 바람직하다고 판단된다. 또한 연직배수재를 설치한 연약지반에서 안정수가 3.0이하이고 지지안전율이 1.7 이상이면 안전한 성토시공이 가능하며 안정수가 4.3 이상이고 지지안전율이 1.2 이하이면 연약지반에 전단변형의 발생은 물론이고 전단파괴의 가능성까지도 예상된다.

This paper presents a domain decomposition method for buckling analysis of rectangular Kirchhoff plates subjected to uniaxial inplane load and with mixed edge support conditions. A plate is decomposed into two rectangular subdomains along the change of the discontinuous support conditions. The automated Ritz method is employed to derive the governing eigenvalue equation for the plate system. Compatibility conditions are imposed for transverse displacement and slope along the interface of the two subdomains by modifying the Ritz trial functions. The resulting Ritz function ensures that the transverse displacement and slope are continuous along the entire interface of the two subdomains. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are verified with convergence and comparison studies. Buckling results are presented for several selected rectangular plates with various combination of mixed edge support conditions.
