Abstract

This study was conducted to develop low-cost, simplified slope stabilization methods for the continuous utilization of skid trails, and to analyze the effect of the developed methods. Slope stabilization methods were created on the fill slopes of skid trails in the Forest Technology and Management Research Center of the National Institute of Forest Science.We measured the settlement and bearing capacity of skid trail surfaces, and the displacement of slope stabilization methods with respect to the number of passes (maximum 100 passes) by a logging truck weighing 17 tons. The constancy of slope stabilization methods was determined by measuring displacement of the stabilization structure with respect to the number of logging truck passes. Results showed that the bearing capacity in most cases was insufficient, but that the settlement of skid trails was less than 150 mm, which was considered reasonable. In addition, the stability of root staking wallswas somewhat low, but the average displacements of all slope stabilization methods were generally around 20 mm or less, indicating no issues regarding structural stability. By applying the simplified stabilization methods to skid trail maintenance following timber harvesting, efficient timber harvesting can be achieved. Additionally, these methods can be utilized as permanent forest management infrastructures and complement insufficient forest road facilities.

본 연구는 산림작업로의 사용이후에 존치시켜 지속적으로 활용하기 위하여 필요한 저비용 구조의 간이 사면안정구 조물을 개발하고, 그 시공효과를 살펴보고자 실시하였다. 국립산림과학원 산림기술경영연구소 관내에 시설된 산림작업로의 성토사면에 안정구조물을 시공하였다. 성토사면 간이 안정구조물에 대하여 차량의 통행으로 인한 노면 침하량 및 지지력 분석을 실시하였고, 모든 사면안정구조물에 대해서는 차량통행으로 인한 안정구조물의 변위량을 측정하여 안정성을 판정하였다. 성토사면 간이 사면안정구조물을 대상으로 한 소운재 차량(총 중량 17톤)을 최대 100회(목재운송량 780 ㎥)까지 통행 후 운송횟수별 노면의 지지력과 침하량을 분석한 결과, 안정처리공법별로 노면의 침하량은 최대 150 mm 이하로 양호한 것으로 나타났으나, 노면지지력의 효과는 크게 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 안정구조물의 안정성을 평가한 결과, 뿌리쌓기 공법에서 안정성이 다소 낮았으나, 대체로 모든 구조물의 평균 변위량이 약 20 mm이하로 구조적 안정성에는 큰 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 목재생산 이후에 존치되는 산림작업로를 대상으로 간이한 사면안정구조물을 적용한다면 효율적 목재생산이 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 부족한 임도를 보완할 수 있는 영구적인 생산기반시설로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
