Slope reliability analysis and risk assessment for spatially variable soils under rainfall infiltration are important subjects but they have not been well addressed. This lack of study may in part be due to the multiple and diverse evaluation indexes and the low computational efficiency of Monte-Carlo simulations. To remedy this, this paper proposes a highly efficient computational method for investigating random field problems for slopes. First, the probability density evolution method (PDEM) is introduced. This method has high computational efficiency and does not need the tens of thousands of numerical simulation samples required by other methods. Second, the influence of rainfall on slope reliability is investigated, where the reliability is calculated from based on the safety factor curves during the rainfall. Finally, the uncertainty of the sliding mass for the slope random field problem is analyzed. Slope failure consequences are considered to be directly correlated with the sliding mass. Calculations showed that the mass that slides is smaller than the potential sliding mass (shallow surface sliding in rainfall). Sliding mass-based risk assessment is both needed and feasible for engineered slope design. The efficient PDEM is recommended for problems requiring lengthy calculations such as random field problems coupled with rainfall infiltration.

Recently in spite of Development of Investigation machine, in Application of Geotechnical Properties by empirical recommendation to the Slope Stability Analysis. It is generally Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties by Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Representative Zone that Non-Division of Increase as the depth of Strength Parameters In Deep Weathered Zone. Therefore, it is become environment pollution and Non-Economical Slope Design to Application of convenience and conservative Geotechnical Properties. The production mechanism of Deep Weathered Zone is tend to Weathering Degree low and Strength increase by increase as the depth. it is realistic design that Division of Deep Weathered Zone and application Geotechnical Properties of Each Layer. In this Paper, Determined The Relationship of Strength Parameters between Standard Penetration Test(SPT), Borehole Shear Test(BST) and empirical recommendation also Applyed each strength parameters of divided zone to the Slope Stability Analysis by continuous Borehole Shear Test(BST) in Deep Weathered Zone during design of The 2nd Bridge Connection Road of Incheon International Airport.

The Roads in Gangwon Province generally was made on purpose to use the military road. In case of these roads, tremendous dangerous cut slopes do exist and its road linear shape was badly designed. In order to make up for this situation, the government has continuously established the new road or performed the public works such as the straight line of the curved road. Soksil 2 cut slope was made through the road improvement work. This has small surface failures and collapses. In spite of dry season, this slope are leaking lots of groundwater at the unbelievable point. So as to get curious phenomenon right, we performed a detailed field investigation, the geomorphological analysis, the stability analysis considering field characteristic and ultimately proposed the countermeasure to make sure stability of Sokil 2 cut slope.

It is very difficult to determine the failure block scale in great rock slopes. Especially, postulating entire slope domain as a failure block without attention to discontinuity trace lenth makes very confuse and difficult to design rock slopes. In this paper, we estimate realistic failure block scale using joint system simulation method and introduce the application procedures on rock slope analysis. Besides, presenting how joint characteristics measurement and statistical analysis results are applicated to slope stability analysis design flow.

The demand of tunnels has been increased for the linear improvement of general national highway, and road construction and/or enlargement in Korea. Also, the collapses of tunnel portal slope have been increased in recent due to heavy rain caused by global warming. Therefore, it has been risen the requirement of system for the stability of tunnel portal slope in Korea as well as all over the world. The objective of this research is to develop an effective maintenance system for supervising the tunnel portal slope. This paper is a basic proposal to execute a survey on the current status and state of the tunnel portal slopes that were already installed along general national highways.

The road construction with horizontal expansion of country using and augmentation of traffic demand is advanced actively and it accompanies hereupon, the above of 70% of the country is formed at the mountain in our country where the hazard cut slope has been created. In this study, It is prepared a effective management countermeasure of cut slope introduced priority investigation decision method against hazard cut slope which is influenced by abnormally rainfall by an unusual change in the weather such as a guerilla rainfall character. In meaning link, It was executed collapse cause by failure character analysis in the cut slope which has failed for the last five years and it is prepared the hazard grade criterion from E to A grade according to collapse cause. It is decided that a maintenance management grade by the hazard grade classification criterion of cut slope. So It is possible to hazard cut slope. It is established failure protection counter countermeasure by effective maintenance management through the hazard grade c1assification criterion and it will be able to dispose to advanced nation level like Hong Kong and Japanese.

Infiltration characteristics of cut-slope safety factors are considered for precipitation duration and intensity. Infiltration characteristics (infiltration module) and safety factor (slope module) changes of a cut-slope are analyzed under various conditions of precipitation intensity and duration, using the Soilworks program. The results indicate that the addition safety factors of the slope decreased immediately after the end of precipitation due to an increase in pore water pressure. The minimum safety factor for cut-slope infiltration analysis should be considered because of the because of the decrement of safety factors after precipitation that exceeds the decrement of safety factor during the duration of precipitation.

It is important to identify the fault for solving the problem about slope failure and landslides. This brief report is to review occurrence and characteristics of the fault. Also, this is to introduce the geotechnical characteristics and properties of the fault and suggests how the fault affects to the cut slope stability and propose countermeasures with respect to the fault.

Causes of the levee collapse are directly or indirectly associated with geotechnical engineering as well as hydraulics. In this paper, literature survey and analysis were conducted to present the alternatives in geotechnical engineering issues for rational levee design. The alternatives include the reasonable river-bed soil utilization and precautions of numerical analysis and slope stability analysis, disruption type and improvement method of drainage facility.
