Abstract

Shallow slope failures in residual soil during periods of prolonged infiltration are common over the world. Therefore, this study examines an approximate method to estimate the influence of infiltration on surficial stability of slopes by one-dimensional infiltration model. Modified GAML model based on the Green-Ampt model was extended to predict the infiltration behavior of two-layered slope. Then, the model has been considered to evaluate the likelihood of shallow slope failure which is induced by a particular rainfall event that accounts for the rainfall intensity and duration for various return periods in two-layered soil profile. The results obtained from the approximate method were compared with those obtained from numerical analyses. According to the results, with the use of properly estimated input parameters, the proposed method was found to give good results that agree reasonably well to those of the more rigorous finite element analyses.

강우에 의한 표면파괴는 세계적으로 흔히 볼 수 있는 사면파괴의 형태이다. 본 연구에서는 침투가 사면 표면의 안정에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 일차원 침투모델을 이용한 무한사면 해석법을 연구하였다. 2층으로 구성된 지반에서 임의의 강우에 의해 유발되는 얕은 사면파괴의 가능성을 평가하기 위해서 Green-Ampt모델에 바탕을 둔 수정 GAML(Green-Ampt-Mein-Larson) 모델을 확장하여 재현기간에 따른 강우강도와 지속시간이 고려되는 침투거동을 예측하였다. 예측된 침투거동과 비교하기 위하여 일련의 수치해석이 수행되었다. 그 결과에 의하면 적절하게 선택된 입력값을 사용하면 제안된 간략법이 더욱 엄밀한 해석법인 유한요소해석과 근사한 합리적인 결과를 줌을 알 수 있다.
