Due to the seepage of groundwater, the resisting force of slopes decreases and the sliding force increases, resulting in significantly reduced slope stability. The instability of most natural slopes is closely related to the influence of groundwater. Therefore, it is important to study slope stability under groundwater seepage conditions. Thus, using a simplified seepage model of groundwater combined with the analysis of stresses on the slip surface, the limit equilibrium (LE) analytical solutions for two- and three-dimensional slope stability under groundwater seepage are deduced in this work. Meanwhile, the general nonlinear Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) strength criterion is adopted to describe the shear failure of a slope. By comparing the results with the traditional LE methods on slope examples, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified. In contrast to traditional LE methods, the proposed method is more suitable for analyzing slope stability under complex conditions. In addition, to facilitate the optimization of drainage design in the slope, stability charts are drawn for slopes with different groundwater tables. Furthermore, the study concluded that: (1) when the hydraulic gradient of groundwater is small, the effect on slope stability is also small for a change in the groundwater table; and (2) compared with a slope without a groundwater table, a slope with a groundwater table has a larger failure range under groundwater seepage.

This paper describes the rainfall-induced slope failures caused by infiltration due to prolonged rainfall. The emphasis was on quantifying the effect of fine-grained contents which are influencing on the infiltration rate in the wetting front of initially unsaturated slopes during rainfall. Suction tests by tensiometer were performed for five mixture specimens with varying fine-grained contents and then, numerical analyses for the stability of unsaturated slopes are carried out for different relative densities and mixture portions based on the soil water characteristic curves obtained by GCTS pressure plate. It is shown that the fines are highly influenced on wetting front suction of unsaturated soil slopes. Based on the results, it is found that until 15% fine content is the limit showing different wetting front suction, beyond which the wetting band depth do not affect considerably the stability of unsaturated slopes.

The present study proposed to examine the appropriateness of the ground water level condition that had a significant effect on the stability of the slopes and, for this purpose, analyzed the rise of ground water level during the rainy season by applying the average daily rainfall of Seoul for the last 30 years. The result showed that the rise of ground water level was 6.0$\sim$41.0% of the slope height, which suggests that the currently applied condition of ground water level is somewhat overestimated. In addition, the result of interpreting the stability of slopes during the rainy season, slopes were unstable in all conditions when the ground water level was at the ground surface and base failure occurred. This suggests the importance of ground water level condition in stability analysis.

Slope stability is affected by various factors. For safety management of slopes, monitoring systems have been widely constructed along railway lines. The representative data from the systems are variations of ground profile such like ground water level and pore water pressure etc. and direct displacement measured by ground clinometer and tension wire sensor. Slopes are mainly effected by rainfall and rainfall causes the decrease of factor of safety(FOS). Because FOS varies linearly by the variation of ground water level and pore pressure, it has a weak point that could not define the time and proper warning sign to secure the safety of the train. In this study, alternative of FOS such as reliability index and probability of failure is applied to slope stability analysis introducing the reliability concept. FOS, reliability index, probability of failure and velocity of probability of failure of the slopes by variation of ground water level are investigated for setting up the specification of safety management of slopes. By executing case study of a slope(ILLO-IMSUNGLI), it is showed to be applied to specification of safety management.

국내 풍화토사면의 경우 순수 균질 사면보다는 대부분 점토 및 세립분이 섞인 비균질 상태로 존재하며 이러한 함유비율은 풍화도 및 지역에 따라 다르다. 따라서 세립분함량 변화에 따른 불포화사면에의 분석을 위해, 화강풍화토(SW)에 일정비율의 세립분(CH)을 섞어 성형한 시료를 통해 GCTS pressure plates을 이용한 함수특성곡선 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 및 침투해석결과 강우지속시간에 따른 포화깊이의 증가율은 세립분이 증가할수록 또한 상대밀도가 증가할수록 작아졌다. 또한 침투해석과 포화 및 불포화강도정수를 이용한 사면 안정성 해석결과(SLOPE/W), 전반적으로 세립분함량 $10\sim15%$의 범위까지는 침투깊이 증가에 따른 흡수력 변화가 안전율에 지대한 영향을 미치는 반면 이를 초과하는 경우(>15%)에는 오히려 세립분함량 증가에 따른 강도정수의 변화가 크게 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

원 지반을 성토하여 인공적으로 형성된 다짐지반에 터파기를 하여 관을 매립하거나, 암거를 설치하는 작업을 수행 하는 경우가 자주 있다. 이 때 조성되는 임시굴착사면의 기울기를 적용함에 있어서 실험이나 사면안정해석 등의 적절한 과정을 수행하지 않음으로 인해 사면붕괴가 발생하여 인명 피해는 물론이고 공기의 지연 및 공사비의 증액 등 크고 작은 손실을 초래하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 임시사면의 안정성 검토를 위해 대표적인 경우들에 대한 사면안정해석을 수행하였으며, 특히 사면안정에 대한 다짐지반의 비등방성에 따른 전단강도의 영향을 검토하였다. 해석에서 적용한 다짐지반의 비등방성 전단강도는 전단면과 다짐층 간의 경사를 변화시키면서 수행한 일련의 직접전단시험으로부터 추정하였다. 해석 결과, 비등방성을 고려하는 지의 여부에 따라서 임시사면의 적절한 안정기울기가 소폭으로 변화할 가능성이 있음을 알았다. 그러나, 이에 따른 안전율의 변화나 파괴면의 양상은 그리 크게 변하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In Korea, collapse of railway slopes is frequently occurred due to tycoon or heavy rainfall doling rainy season and has been made personal and social damage greatly. In order to evaluate the stability of railway slopes under rainfall, explanatory variables and subordinate variables were selected for multivariate analysis. The sites which failure had occurred due to rainfall were investigated and critical rainfall was defined by the case that had high value of correlation factor after multivariate analyses for 121 cases had been executed. The maximum hourly rainfall during 24 hours before failure caused the collapse of railway embankment and the 0.3 square value of maximum hourly rainfall during 24 hours before failure caused the collapse of railway cut-slope, From the application to collapse examples, it is judged that critical rainfall curve will be used to estimate the stability of slopes.

In this study, the effects of slope inclination and rainfall on weathered soil slope stability were investigated for current cut soil slope design criteria. A series of slope stability analysis was performed on the slopes with the same height (5m), but different inclinations (1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.2, 1:1.5, 1:2). Seepage analysis was also conducted to examine the rainfall effects directly and compare the combined seepage and slope stability analysis results with the slope stability analysis results for rainy season from the current cut soil slope design criteria. Typical properties for weathered soils were used in both the slope and seepage analysis. The analysis results showed that, for the slopes much steeper than the standard slopes, the factor of safety criteria were satisfied. Therefore, it appears that the slope designs by current cut soil slope design criteria lead to conservative results.

The kinematical approach of limit analysis is used to estimate the three dimensional stability analysis of rock slopes with nonlinear Hoek-Brown criterion under earthquake forces. The generalized tangential technique is introduced, which makes limit analysis apply to rock slope problem possible. This technique formulates the three dimensional stability problem as a classical nonlinear programming problem. A nonlinear programming algorithm is coded to search for the least upper bound solution. To prove the validity of the present approach, static stability factors are compared with the previous solutions, using a linear failure criterion. Three dimensional seismic and static stability factors are calculated for rock slopes. Numerical results of indicate that the factors increase with the ratio of slope width and height, and are presented for practical use in rock engineering.

Soil nailing method is widely used in reinforcing slopes and excavating earth. The analysis of nail-reinforced slopes, in order to determine the economical length ratio and nail angle, complicated analytical need to be applied by means of computer programs. Therefor this suggested Soil stability Chart for nailed slopes which may be very useful for pre-design, rapidly design, and final check. Three slope types, three nail length and three nail angles are selected for the stability analysis by using limit equilibrium method of Bishop and French Method. From the above results, this study propose the slope reinforced design charts for dry season and rainy season. This proposed reinforced design charts can check dry season as well as rainy season, also these charts can provide reinforcing requirement, soil nail's economical length ratio and nail angle as well.
