Excessive rainfalls due to climatic changes can trigger an increase in rainfall-induced slope failures that pose real threats to both lives and properties. Many high slopes in residual soils could stand at a steep angle, but failed during or after rainfall. Commonly, these slopes have a deep groundwater table and negative pore-water pressures in the unsaturated zone above the groundwater table contribute to the shear strength of soil and consequently to factor of safety of the slope. Stability assessment of slope under rainfall requires information on rate of rainwater infiltration in the unsaturated zone and the resulting changes in pore-water pressure and shear strength of soil. This paper describes the application of unsaturated soil mechanics principles and theories in the assessment of rainfall effect on stability of slope through proper characterization of soil properties, measurement of negative pore-water pressures, seepage and slope stability analyses involving unsaturated and saturated soils. Factors controlling the rate of changes in factor of safety during rainfall and a preventive method to minimize infiltration are highlighted in this paper.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate biomechanical changes of the lower limb including dynamic stability with changes in illumination (300Lx, 150Lx, and 5Lx) and slope (level and $15^{\circ}$ downhill) as risk factors for elderly falls. Method : Fifteen elderly females were selected for this study. Seven infrared cameras (Proreflex MCU 240: Qualisys, Sweden) and an instrumented treadmill (Bertec, USA) surrounded by illumination regulators and lights to change the levels of illumination were used to collect the data. A One-Way ANOVA with repeated measures using SPSS 12.0 was used to analyze statistical differences by the changes in illumination and slope. Statistical significance was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results : No differences in the joint movement of the lower limbs were found with changes in illumination (p>.05). The maximum plantar flexion movement of the ankle joints appeared to be greater at 5Lx compared to 300Lx during slope gait (p<.05). Additionally, maximum extension movement of the hip joints appeared to be greater at 5Lx and 150Lx compared to 300Lx during slope gait (p<.05). The maximum COM-COP angular velocity (direction to medial side of the body) of dynamic stability appeared to be smaller at 150Lx and 300Lx compared to 5Lx during level gait (p<.05). The minimum COM-COP angular velocity (direction to lateral side to the body) of dynamic stability appeared smaller at 150Lx compared to 5Lx during level gait (p<.05). Conclusion : In conclusion, elderly people use a stabilization strategy that reduces walk speed and dynamic stability as darkness increases. Therefore, the changes in illumination during gait induce the changes in gait mechanics which may increase the levels of biomechanical risk in elderly falls.

The construction of roads, tunnels, and bridges results in changes to the local terrain that may influence the ground safety factor, which represents the stability of geotechnical structures. In this study, we assessed construction sites that had collapsed as a result of terrain change, and then simulated variation in the ground safety factor with respect to terrain change caused by road construction. We assumed steep slopes to simulate changes in terrain in a mountainous area and assumed that earthworks took place for road construction by cutting a platform into the slope and altering the slope angle of the terrain both above and below the road. We calculated values of the ground safety factor through a stability analysis of the slope both above and below the road, and examined the variation in the safety factor of the above- and below-road slopes with respect to changes in road width. We found that if the slope angle was the same above and below the road, then the change in the ground safety factor during/after road construction occurred in the slope below the road, and if the slope angle above the road differed from that below, then the change occurred in both the above- and below-road slopes. Furthermore, the ground safety factor was essentially constant for road widths exceeding 2-6 m, depending on both above- and below-road slope angle. The findings of this study can be used to guide the management of construction sites and to assess changes in ground stability during road construction work, particularly in the early stages of earthworks, when the road width is narrow.

암반사면은 시추조사가 불가한 경우가 많아 안정 해석에 필요한 지반정수를 산정하기 어려운 경우가 빈번하다. 본 연구에서는 노두나 부분적으로 절취된 사면에서 쉽고 간편하게 측정할 수 있는 거칠기계수(JRC) 및 강도(JCS)값을 이용하여 분석하였으며 특히, JRC값이 암반사면의 안전율에 미치는 영향을 집중 분석하여 그 결과를 상관식 및 도표로 제시하였다. 사면이 안정할 때 JRC값은 사면높이가 높아질수록 평균 9.0%씩 증가하였으며, 사면기울기가 높아질수록 평균 29.8%씩 증가하여 사면 기울기변화에 보다 민감한 것으로 나타났다. JRC-c의 상관식에서 JRC에 상응하는 점착력을 계산한 결과 JRC와 점착력은 비선형적인 관계를 보였으며, 점착력은 사면의 기울기 보다는 높이 변화에 약 8.0% 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다.

In this work, the changes in the friction force(lateral force) with respect to nanoscale geometric variation were investigated using an Atomic Force Microscope and a Lateral Force Microscope. It could be concluded that the changes in the friction force correspond well to the slope change rather than the surface slope itself, and that the influence of slope change on the frictional behavior is dependent on the magnitude of the slope and the torsional stiffness of the cantilever. Also, the nominal friction force is found to be more significantly affected by the material and the physical-chemical state of the surface rather than by nanoscale geometric steps. However, the change in nanoscale geometric details of the surface cause instantaneous change and slight variation in the friction signal.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 온도 분포 센싱을 통한 제체의 침투 및 붕괴와 같은 물리적 변화 현상을 모니터링하기 위해 중규모 제방 수리실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험의 중규모 실험 제방은 바이오폴리머 흙을 제방 전면에 도포하여 강도를 증진시킨 것으로 월류에 의한 침투 및 붕괴 현상이 일반 제방과는 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 이러한 현상은 광섬유 온도 분포 센싱을 통해 획득한 온도 변화 정보를 통해 분석할 수 있었다. 제체의 위치별 시간에 따른 온도 변화 자료를 통해 제체 내부의 물리적 변화 및 침투가 발생하는 위치와 시간을 판단할 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 급격한 온도 변화 시점이 제외지 사면보다 제내지 사면에서 먼저 발생하였으며, 이는 실험에서 제내지 사면이 붕괴된 후에 제외지 사면이 붕괴된 순서와 일치하였다.

This paper addresses the effects of extreme rainfall on the stability of cut slopes in Yen Bai city, Northern Viet Nam. In this area, natural slopes are excavated to create places for infrastructures and buildings. Cut slopes are usually made without proper site investigations; the design is mostly based on experience. In recent years, many slope failures have occurred along these cuts especially in rainy seasons, resulting in properties damaged and loss of lives. To explain the reason that slope failure often happens during rainy seasons, this research analyzed the influence of extreme rainfalls, initial ground conditions, and soil permeability on the changes of pore water pressure within the typical slope, thereafter determining the impact of these changes on the slope stability factor of safety. The extreme rainfalls were selected based on all of the rainfalls triggering landslide events that have occurred over the period from 1960 to 2009. The factor of safety (FS) was calculated using Bishop's simplified method. The results show that when the maximum infiltration capacity of the slope top soil is less than the rainfall intensity, slope failures may occur 14 hours after the rain starts. And when this happens, the rainfall duration is the deciding factor that affects the slope FS values. In short, cut slopes in Yen Bai may be stable in normal conditions after the excavation, but under the influence of tropical rain storms, their stability is always questionable.

우리나라의 자연재해는 대부분 풍수해에 의해 발생하며, 강우시 산비탈이 갑작스럽게 붕괴되는 산사태로 인해 큰 재난을 겪고 있다. 사면파괴를 유발하는 요인은 다양하고 요인들이 서로 관련이 있기 때문에 어느 하나의 요인에 의하여 사면파괴의 발생을 설명할 수는 없으나, 외적요인 중 강우는 가장 중요한 외적요인이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 무보강된 일반사면과 친환경 호안구조물로 사면보호공법이 적용된 사면을 대상으로 실내 강우재현실험을 수행하였으며, 강우강도와 사면경사에 따른 유출량과 저류량을 분석하여 호안구조물의 침식에 대한 사면보호효과에 대하여 검토하였다.

기초조사란 위험비탈면에 실시하는 정밀조사와는 달리 비탈면의 현황을 파악하고자 실시한다. 과거 기초조사자료를 토대로 하여 전국 국도변에 분포하고 있는 비탈면의 일반현황을 분석하였다. 또한 비탈면 일반 현황과 붕괴가 발생한 비탈면에 대한 비교분석을 통하여 유지관리 시 중요한 사항에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 10년 전 붕괴가 발생된 자료와 현재 붕괴된 자료를 통하여 비탈면 파괴 유형 및 대책공법의 적용에 대한 변화 추이를 분석하였다. 추후 원인별 붕괴형태 분석 및 대책공법과의 연관성을 연구하려 한다.
