Abstract

Due to frequent occurrences of concentrated heavy rainfall caused by abnormal climate conditions in recent years, collapses of steep slopes have been occurring frequently due to surface erosion and increased pore water pressure. Various methods are being applied to prevent slope collapses, such as increasing the resistance to movement and reducing pore water pressure. Research on these methods has been consistently conducted as they provide an efficient response to slope collapses by satisfying both the conditions of resistance to movement and pore water pressure simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, we propose an upward slope reinforcement method by burying drainage materials with an upward slope inclination, instead of the conventional horizontal application. This approach aims to satisfy both slope reinforcement and drainage functions effectively, offering a comprehensive solution for slope stabilization. Furthermore, to determine the optimal burial angle that exhibits the most effective reinforcement and drainage effects of the proposed method, we investigated the reinforcement and drainage effects under conditions where the horizontal drainage materials were set at angles ranging from 0° to 60° in increments of 10° on a representative cross-section. Additionally, indoor model experiments were conducted under the conditions of 40°, which showed the most outstanding drainage effect, and 20°, which exhibited the highest safety factor, to validate the numerical analysis results. The results showed that the burial angle of 40° exhibits a relatively higher drainage effect as with the numerical analysis results, while the angle of 20° results in inadequate drainage and observed slope collapse.

최근 이상기후로 인한 집중호우가 빈번히 발생함에 따라 비탈면의 표층 유실 및 간극수압의 증가로 인한 비탈면의 붕괴가 자주 발생하고 있다. 비탈면의 붕괴를 방지하기 위해서 활동저항력을 증가시키거나 간극수압을 감소시키는 등의 다양한 공법들이 적용되고 있으며, 활동저항력과 간극수압의 조건을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있는 공법이 적용되면 비탈면 붕괴에 효율적으로 대응할 수 있기 때문에 이에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 수행되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 수평으로 적용되는 배수재의 매설 경사를 상향 방향으로 매설하여, 비탈면의 보강 및 배수 기능을 모두 만족시킬 수 있는 상향식 비탈면 보강 공법을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안한 공법의 보강 및 배수효과가 가장 우수한 매설각도를 확인하기 위해 대표 단면에 수평 배수재를 0°~60°로 10° 단위로 설정한 조건에서 공법의 보강 및 배수 효과를 확인하였으며, 배수효과가 가장 뛰어난 40°와 안전율이 가장 우수한 20°의 조건으로 실내 모형실험을 수행하여 수치해석 결과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 수치해석 결과와 마찬가지로 40°에서 상대적으로 배수효과가 높게 나타났으며, 20°의 경우 원활한 배수가 이루어지지 않아 비탈면이 붕괴되는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 상향식 비탈면 보강재의 보강 및 배수효과를 확인할 수 있었다.
