This paper presents a case study and numerical investigation to study the hydro-mechanical response of a shallow landslide in unsaturated slopes subjected to rainfall infiltration using a coupled model. The coupled model was interpreted in details by expressing the balance equations for soil mixture and the coupled constitutive equations. The coupled model was verified against experimental data from the shearing-infiltration triaxial tests. A real case of shallow landslide occurred on Mt. Umyeonsan, Seoul, Korea was employed to explore the influence of rainfall infiltration on the slope stability during heavy rainfall. Numerical results showed that the coupled model accurately predicted the poromechanical behavior of a rainfall-induced landslide by simultaneously linking seepage and stress-strain problems. It was also found that the coupled model properly described progress failure of a slope in a highly transient condition. Through the comparisons between the coupled and uncoupled models, the coupled model provided more realistic analysis results under rainfall. Consequently, the coupled model was found to be feasible for the stability and seepage analysis of practical engineering problems.

본 연구는 하천 보축제체 내부를 관통하여 설치되는 배수통문 구조물 연결부에서 누수가 발생하는 경우 구조물 측면의 침투 특성을 파악하고 이러한 측면 침투 거동에 따른 파이핑 등이 제체 안정에 미치는 영향을 분석한 수치해석적 연구이다. 측면 침투 거동을 고려하기 위해 동일한 모델에 대해 2차원 및 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 측면 침투의 영향을 분석하고 수치 해석의 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 제외지에 수문이 위치한 조건에서 누수가 발생하고 측면 침투를 고려하는 경우 구조물 누수지점 인근의 최대간극수압은 누수가 발생하지 않는 정상적인 침투 상태에 비해 절반 정도로 감소하였다. 특히 측면 침투를 고려하지 않는 경우 구조물 하부에서 과도한 간극수압 변화를 보였다. 구조물 상부와 하부의 동수경사는 고수위로 수위가 상승하면서 한계동수경사보다 큰 동수경사를 나타내고 있어 장기간 파이핑에 취약할 것으로 판단된다. 제내지에 수문이 위치하고 측면침투를 고려하지 않는 경우 동수경사와 침투유속 등 침투수의 영향은 측면침투를 고려하는 경우에 비해 과소하게 해석되었다. 수문이 제외지에 위치하고 누수가 발생하여 파이핑 발생 또는 제체 재료 유실이 우려되는 경우 측면 침투를 무시하게 되면 최대 동수경사는 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 그리고 한계동수경사를 초과하는 기간도 짧은 시간대로 해석되었다. 결과적으로 측면 침투를 무시하게 되면 파이핑 발생 가능성을 과소하게 평가할 수 있어 주의해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to study the effect of stress and water pressure on the permeability of fractured rock mass under three-dimensional stress conditions, a single fracture triaxial stress-seepage coupling model was established; By using the stress-seepage coupling true triaxial test system, large-scale rock specimens were taken as the research object to carry out the coupling test of stress and seepage, the fitting formula of permeability coefficient was obtained. The influence of three-dimensional stress and water pressure on the permeability coefficient of fractured rock mass was discussed. The results show that the three-dimensional stress and water pressure have a significant effect on the fracture permeability coefficient, showing a negative exponential relationship. Under certain water pressure conditions, the permeability coefficient decreases with the increase of the three-dimensional stress, and the normal principal stress plays a dominant role in the permeability. Under certain stress conditions, the permeability coefficient increases when the water pressure increases. Further analysis shows that when the gob floor rock mass is changed from high stress to unloading state, the seepage characteristics of the cracked channels will be evidently strengthened.

침투 해석 수치모형은 제방 침투와 관련된 문제 해석과 방지기법 설계에 있어 매우 유용한 방법이나, 각각의 수치 모형은 적용상 한계와 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 상용 프로그램은 적용하는 다양한 문제에 대해서 검증이나 보정이 이루어지지 않을 뿐 아니라, 사용자가 침투현상에 대한 정확한 지식이나 교육 없이도 결과를 도출할 수 있게 되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 해석해와 실험을 통해 침투 수치모형의 적합성과 적용 시 고려사항을 사용자적 입장에서 검토하였다. 실제 제방의 경우 수위와 토질조건 등에 따라 침투현상이 변화하기 때문에 정상 침투해석이 아닌 비포화 비정상 침투해석을 시행하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 낙동강 고아지구 제방에 대해 정상 및 비정상 침투해석 결과를 비교하였다. 검토 결과 정상 침투해석 결과를 토대로 침투보강공법을 설계할 경우 안전계수를 $2.0{\sim}3.5$ 정도 적용한 것과 동일한 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

Face stability analyses provides the most probable failure mechanisms and the understanding about parameters that need to be considered for the evaluation of ground movements caused by tunneling. After the Upper Bound Method (UBM) solution which can consider the influence of seepage forces and depth-dependent effective cohesion is verified with the numerical experiments, the probabilistic model is proposed to calculate the unbiased limiting tunnel collapse pressure. A reliability analysis of a shallow circular tunnel driven by a pressurized shield in a frictional and cohesive soil is presented to consider the inherent uncertainty in the input parameters and the proposed model. The probability of failure that exceeding a specified applied pressure at the tunnel face is estimated. Sensitivity and importance measures are computed to identify the key parameters and random variables in the model.

The Kurobe river, which runs through eastern Toyama Prefecture is one of the most famous rivers for wild water because of its steep slope in the range from 1/5 to 1/120. This river forms an alluvial fan in the range up to 13 kilometers from the sea. In this region, significant seepage flow occurs and thus the stream sometimes been intermitted. Moreover, the amount of seepage flow seems to vary with the groundwater level of the region. To keep the river environment healthy for flora and fauna, especially to conserve good condition for spawning of fishes, an appropriate environmental flow should be maintained in the river. To achieve this target, controlling of the upstream reservoir has to be studied in depth. One of the major problems to decide the amount of water to be released from the reservoir to maintain the environmental flow is to estimate the amount of water leaked into the groundwater from the river. This phenomenon is affected by the river flow rate as well as the groundwater level in the alluvial fan and the conditions vary in space and time. Thus, a grid-based hydrological cycle analysis model NK-GHM has been applied to clarify the hydrological cycle componentsin this area including seepage/discharge from/to the river. The model was tested by comparing with river flow rate, groundwater levels and other observations and found that the model described those observations well. Consequently, the seepage from the Kurobe river was found significant but it was also found that the groundwater in this region has been preserved by the recharge from the irrigation water supply into paddy fields in the alluvial fan.

To evaluate the safety status of deteriorated segments in a submarine shield tunnel during its service life, a seepage model was established based on a cross-sea shield tunnel project. This model was used to study the migration patterns of erosive ions within the shield segments. Based on these laws, the degree of deterioration of the segments was determined. Using the derived analytical solution, the internal forces within the segments were calculated. Lastly, by applying the formula for calculating safety factors, the variation trends in the safety factors of segments with different degrees of deterioration were obtained. The findings demonstrate that corrosive seawater presents the evolution characteristics of continuous seepage from the outside to the inside of the tunnel. The nearby seepage field shows locally concentrated characteristics when there is leakage at the joint, which causes the seepage field's depth and scope to significantly increase. The chlorine ion content decreases gradually with the increase of the distance from the outer surface of the tunnel. The penetration of erosion ions in the segment is facilitated by the presence of water pressure. The ion content of the entire ring segment lining structure is related in the following order: vault < haunch < springing. The difference in the segment's rate of increase in chlorine ion content decreases as service time increases. Based on the analytical solution calculation, the segment's safety factor drops more when the joint leaks than when its intact, and the change rate between the two states exhibits a general downward trend. The safety factor shows a similar change rule at different water depths and continuously decreases at the same segment position as the water depth increases. The three phases of "sudden drop-rise-stability" are represented by a "spoon-shaped" change rule on the safety factor's change curve. The issue of the poor applicability of indicators in earlier studies is resolved by the analytical solution, which only requires determining the loss degree of the segment lining's effective bearing thickness to calculate the safety factor of any cross-section of the shield tunnel. The analytical solution's computation results, however, have some safety margins and are cautious. The process of establishing the evaluation model indicates that the secondary lining made of molded concrete can also have its safety status assessed using the analytical solution. It is very important for the safe operation of the tunnel and the safety of people's property and has a wide range of applications.

In this study, an overtopping model experiments and three dimensional seepage characteristics at the deteriorated homogeneous reservoirs were performed to investigate the behavior of failure for embankment and spillway transitional zone due to overtopping. The failure pattern, pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement by overtopping were compared and analyzed. The pattern of the failure by overtopping was gradually enlarged towards reservoirs crest from the spillway transition zone at initial stage. In the rapid stage and peak stage, the width and depth of failure gradually increased, and the pattern of the failure appeared irregular and several direction of the erosion. In the early stage, the pore water pressure at spillway transitional zone was more affected as its variation and failure width increased. In the peak stage, the pore water pressure was significantly increased in all locations due to the influence of seepage. The earth pressure increased gradually according to overtopping stage. The pore pressure by the numerical analysis was larger than the experimental value, and the analysis was more likely to increase steadily without any apparent variation. The horizontal and vertical displacements were the largest at the toe of slope and at the top of the dam crest, respectively. The results of this displacement distribution can be applied as a basis for determining the position of reinforcement at the downstream slope and the crest. The collapse in the overtopping stage began with erosion of the most vulnerable parts of the dam crest, and the embankment was completely collapsed as the overtopping stage increased.
