Abstract

Preliminary study has been conducted to analyse the co-relation between shallow landslides frequently occurring in rainy seasons and the water infiltration into the slope. The change of stress state due to partial saturation of a soil and hence the reduction of its shear strength have been reviewed. The variation of the safety factor of an infinite planar slope in accordance with various water infiltration scenarios has been estimated by limit equilibrium method to explain the mechanism of shallow slope failure. Numerical analysis under the same condition as those of some models dealt with in the previous method has been carried out by using FLAC, a finite difference program, and the results have been compared with the ones obtained by limit equilibrium method. Both results proved to be identical, which implies the ability of the numerical approach to the problems related to the stability analysis of unsaturated slope with the irregular geometry. Further improvement, however, should be made to apply the present analysis procedure to general slopes since it deals with a simple one.

본 연구는 우기에 흔히 발생되는 천부 사면파괴와 지표수 침투와의 관계를 규명하기 위한 기초연구로서 수행되었다. 사면이 침투수에 의하여 부분적으로 포화되었을 경우에 토양에 작용하는 응력의 변화를 고찰하고 이와 관련된 사면의 전단강도 이론에 대하여 논의하였다. 그리고 임의의 무한 평면사면에 한계평형법을 적용하여 지표수 침투가 사면의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 한계평형 해석에서 사용한 일부 모델과 동일한 조건하에서 유한차분법 프로그램인 FLAC을 이용하여 수치해석을 실시하고 그 결과를 한계평형 해석에서 구한 결과와 비교해봄으로써 지표수침투와 사면의 안정성 문제에 관한 수치해석적 접근 가능성을 검토하였다. 본 연구는 단순 사면에 대한 해석결과이므로 보다 일반적인 사면에 적용하기 위해서는 더욱 나은 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
