This research compared and analyzed safety ratio of slope with Talren97 and SoilWorks based on limit equilibrium analysis and Midas GTS based on finite element analysis. For the analysis variables, there are slope height, berm condition, soil parameter, groundwater level, slope inclination. All of slope stability analysis were performed by dividing into dry season and rainy season. As the result of the analysis of Talren97 and SoilWorks based on same theory, safety ratio of slope shows same value, so there was no difference between the programs. In comparison with limit equilibrium analysis, the result of finite element analysis showed somewhat high ratio of safety and it was higher by about 2.4% averagely. The difference between the result of limit equilibrium analysis and that of finite element analysis is in the range which can ignored in practical work.

A new computer program SLOPILE(Ver 3.0) is developed to analyze stability of slopes containing an earth retention system composing of piles, nails and anchors. SLOPILE(Ver 3.0) can calculate the slope stability for both planar failure surfaces in infinite slopes and arc failure surfaces. In order to investigate a design adaptability of SLOPILE(Ver 3.0), analysis results of TALREN and SLOPE/W programs are compared with that of SLOPILE(Ver 3.0). SLOPILE(Ver 3.0) can calculate the slopes reinforced by earth retention system such as piles, nails and anchors. But, TALREN and SLOPE/W can not calculate the slope reinforced by piles. As a analysis result of the example case, SLOPILE(Ver 3.0) is accuracy and suitable program for the stability analysis of slopes reinforced by earth retention system. Therefore, SLOPILE(Ver 3.0) is the most suitable program to analyze the slope reinforced by the earth retention system.

The several computer programs for the design of soil nailed wall are often used in Korea. However, these programs have been used without any practical justification. Therefore, in order to evaluate the applicability of these programs for the design of soil nailing, these computer results were analyzed and compared with one another. The performance evaluations by the available programs, such as SNAILZ, TALREN97, SLOPE/W, STABL6, and NAILM16, were applied and the applied data were from 5 case history(15 section). The estimated factors of safety with available programs were compared with observed horizontal deformation from the field. The results showed that the program SNAILZ is most adequate tool for the design of soil nailed wall.

Korea has about 70% of its land classified as the mountain area, which has led to cut-slope being the result of substantial road and railway construction. However, there is currently a lack of research about the seismic retrofit design of a slope, even though many earthquakes have recently occurred at home and abroad. In this study, in order to investigate the stabilizing effect of piles against sliding during an earthquake, a series of 1 g shaking table tests and pseudo-static analyses were carried out. As a result, the stabilizing effect of piles against sliding during an earthquake was verified by the 1 g shaking table tests and the most effective result from the pseudo-static analyses was that the installation of the piles on the central part of the slope, where the failure surface included piles unlike the lower part and upper part of the slope. Furthermore, when the pile was installed on the central part of the slope, the change of the safety factor depending on the distance between the center of two piles was evaluated.

In this study, We peformed on the effective evaluation of slope berm construction using slope stability analysis programs. The effective evaluation of slope berm construction was performed by stability of slope and economy of construction. This time, used slope stability analysis programs are Talren97 that use Limit equilibrium method (LEM) and FLAC-SLOPE that use finite difference method (FDM), and carried out using Rocfall program to evaluate slope stability by rockfall occurrence.

In this study, a newly modified soil nailing technology named as the SPN (Spiral Pipe Nailing) system, is developed to self drilling method can apply to ground which is hard to keep shape of bore hole. And limit equilibrium analysis with simplified trial wedge method while length ratio and bond ratio being altered was performed to evaluate slope stability considered of tensile strength and bending stiffness. Also, using $FLAC^{2D}$ program, superiority of the SPN system was compared to the GSN (General Soil Nailing) system about an example section. And effects of various factors related to the design of the SPN system, such as the type of drilling method and the bit, are examined throughout a series of the displacement-controlled field pull-out tests. As a result, the SPN system is better than the GSN system in slope stability because of having larger bending stiffness, tensile strength and unit skin friction. And results of simplified trial wedge method are similar to results of TALREN 97 program, commercial limit equilibrium analysis computer software, about an example section. Consequently, it will find out of that the SPN system reduce displacements and settlements in down excavation process as well as to increase the global stability.

At the mudstone slope located on the roadside of the Seokri area in Donghae-myeon, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, this study was performed to analyze the effects of rainfall on the stability of slope through seepage analysis according to the precipitation type of the mudstone slope, referring to the actual case of slope failure. For this, precise geological survey, geophysical exploration and drilling survey for the slope where the failure occurred were performed and followed by analysis of detailed soil layer. For the section where failure surface located, the durability reduction of rocks was measured through slaking/swelling tests and the permeability was measured through in-situ permeability tests for each soil layer. In addition, the change of strength parameter and process of instability were analyzed by back analysis, using Talren 97 and Slope/W programs, in the slope. By applying different precipitation conditions to the geographical conditions of the slope that had actual failure records, the slope stability was analyzed by seepage analysis according to duration of rainfall and rise of groundwater level resulting from the flow of rainfall caused by development of geological structures and the slope surface condition.

The several computer programs for the design of soil nailed wall are often used in Korea. However, these programs have been used without and practical justification. Therefore, in order to evaluate the applicability of these programs for the design of soil nailing, these computer results were analyzed and compared with one another. The performance evaluations by the available programs, such as SNAILZ, TALREN97, SLOPE/W STABL6, and NAILMI6, were applied and the applied data were from 6 case history(21 section). The estimated factors of safety with available programs were compared with observed horizontal deformation from the field. This study showed that the program SNAILZ is most adequate tool for the design of soil nailed wall. Also, The finite element program SOILSTRUCT was applied for the analysis of nail inclination effect in soil nailed wall. The program SOILSTRUCT showed that the most optimal inclination of nail was $20^{\circ}$. However, the effect of nail inclination on the wall deformation was negligible. Also, the tension force of the nail were increased as the nail inclination increased, and the tension force of the nail increased as the depth increased, except the deepest nail. Therefore, the larger diameter nail should be considered if the inclination of nail is steeper than the suggested range, and the deeper nails should have the larger diameters than those of shallower nails except for the deepest one.
