Abstract

This study was conducted to characterize the relationship of rainfall intensity and slope stability by using numerical analysis. The maximum precipitation rate for 10 minutes, 1 hour and 1 day was determined as 28 mm, 70 mm and 271 mm, respectively, by investigating 36 years of KMA data. Then slope infiltration analysis was performed to obtain the ground water level in the slope by using computer programming SEEP/W, and slope stability analysis was done for each time step by using program SLOPE/W. The factor of safety was minimized when the slope was saturated under each rainfall intensity; the time required for saturation was 2 hours with 10 minutes rainfall intensity of 28 mm, 7 hours with 1 hour rainfall intensity of 70 mm and 3 days with 1 day rainfall intensity of 271 mm. When accumulated rainfall was 196 mm for the 10minutes rainfall intensity of 28 mm with duration of 2 hours, the factor of safety was decreased to 1.0, while accumulated rainfall of 468 mm and 820 mm for the 1 hour and 1 day rainfall intensity, respectively, was required to reach the factor of safety, 1.0. Since the normalized rainfall intensity was 13 mm and 1.9 mm for 1 hour and 1 day maximum rainfall, respectively, those results showed that the rainfall intensity could have a more effect on the slope stability than the accumulated rainfall.

본 연구는 수치해석을 이용하여 강우강도와 사면 안정성의 상관성을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 지난 36년간의 기상청 자료를 조사하여 10분, 1시간, 일 최다강수량이 각각 28 mm, 70 mm, 271 mm로 집계되었다. 그때 침투류 해석은 프로그램 SLEEP/W을 이용하여 사면의 지하수위를 획득하기 위해 수행되었고, 안정성 분석은 프로그램 SLOPE/W을 이용하여 시간 단계별로 수행되었다. 10분 강수량 28 mm일 경우 2시간, 1시간 강수량 70 mm일 경우 7시간, 1일 강수량 271 mm일 경우 72시간에 사면내의 지하수위가 포화상태에 도달하였다. 10분 강우강도가 28 mm일 경우, 누적강우량 196 mm 일 때, 안전율이 1.0 이하가 되었으며, 10분 강우강도가 13 mm, 1.9 mm 일 경우에는 누적강우량이 각각 468 mm, 820 mm 일 때, 안전율이 1.0 이하가 되었다. 이 결과는 누적강우량보다는 강우강도가 사면안정성에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 시사한다.
