The frequency slope over a year due to climate collapse is connected with huge casualties and property damage, but the situation rarely reduce the damage that gradually increases in size. In order to suppress this, engineers are improved better reinforcement and continued efforts to improve the shear force or withdrawal force. In this study, the GangWhaGu attached to the nail tip that improves the soil nail pullout resistance, and a method to increase the nail integral GangWhaGu maximize the contact area soil - by increasing the friction of the grout seems to increase the effect of slope stability. In order to validate the experiment to determine the effect of reinforcing the soil nail pullout tests of indoor and Behavior GangWhaGu nail and through field tests were conducted and applicability. Experimental results, the case of a pull-out test compared to the GangWhaGu nail through the tensile force of the nail were to increase by approximately 20%.

In this study, rainfall-induced slope stability and coupling effect are investigated using hydro-mechanical finite element model. This model is developed by formulating constitutive and coupled balance equations and is verified by comparing the numerical results with field matric suction. The homogeneous soil layer (soil column) and soil slope are modeled by this model, and the results of variation in matric suction, mean effective stress, porosity, displacement, factor of safety are compared with those of staggered analysis. It is found that the vertical and horizontal displacement from coupling analysis considering change in porosity is larger than that of staggered analysis. The displacement and matric suction from coupling analysis by rainfall infiltration can affect slope instability, which shows a progressive failure behavior. The lowest factor of safety is observed under short-term rainfall. This results confirm the fact that coupling analysis is needed to design soil slope under severe rain condition.

CCTV cameras are used for surveillance and purposes of security, and can also be applied for monitoring infrastructure and equipment. In the Cut Slope Management System managed by KICT (Korea Institute of Construction Technology), cut slopes are continuously monitored using a real-time system, with CCTV cameras installed at 119 sites to detect slope activity. Here we compare CCTV images with displacement at three sites and perform a quantitative analysis. Methods for improving CCTV camera management and systems are also discussed with regard to communication, obstacles, and nighttime management.

최근 하천의 자연성 및 생태기능의 향상을 위해 매트류 호안공법의 적용이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 공법이 적용된 호안은 강수 및 하천수의 지속적인 유입으로 인해 앵커핀과 비탈면 간의 마찰력을 저하시킬 수 있다. 마찰력의 저하는 앵커핀의 고정능력을 저하시켜 매트가 들뜨는 현상을 발생시키고, 이로 말미암아 비탈면에 식재된 식생의 고사는 물론 비탈면의 슬라이딩 현상의 발생에 의해 비탈면 붕괴에 까지 이르게 하고 있다. 그러나 현재 호안매트와 함게 시공하는 앵커핀의 적용에 대한 구체적인 기준과 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 매트류 호안제품을 비탈면에 고정시키는 목적으로 사용하고 있는 앵커핀에 대한 인발특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 인발실험에 사용된 앵커핀은 실제 하천호안에 적용되고 있는 상용제품으로 형태가 다른 4가지 type을 실험에 사용하였으며, 앵커핀의 관입깊이(170mm, 250mm) 별로 인발실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 인발장치는 인발부에 로드셀을 장착하여 앵커핀과 결합이 가능하도록 하였으며, 인발시 발생하는 계측 값을 컴퓨터를 통해 출력이 가능하도록 제작하였다. 실험결과 4가지 형태의 앵커핀에 대한 관입깊이별 형태별 인발특성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 비탈면 및 매트의 고정효과가 우수한 앵커핀의 형태에 대해서도 파악할 수 있었다. 관입깊이별 최대 인발력은 두 변위(170mm, 250mm) 모두 Type 4가 337N, 594N 으로 가장 큰 인발력을 가지는 것으로 측정되었으며, 변위에 의한 인발력의 증가는 Type 2가 138%로 가장 큰 폭의 증가 값을 보였다. 또한 토양과 앵커핀의 마찰력 향상을 위해 하부가 돌출된 형태로 제작된 Type 2와 Type 4가 상대적으로 실험 후반부에서 최대 인발력이 발생하고 인발지속시간이 길게 나타나는 것으로 볼 때, 인발저항은 앵커핀 하부의 돌출면적에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study conducted a slope stability study considering changes in the ground water level due to rain phenomena and the duration of rainfall, that is for the purpose of analyzing the stability of the slope surface of the cut section, seepage numerical analysis is performed by height of slope and rainfall accident, and the characteristics of rainfall was applied reasonably in order to determine the slope change during rain by analyzing rainfall and rainfall pattern due to climate change. Results: As a result of numerical analysis of stability for slope composed of the granite weathered soils according to the characteristics of rainfall(Uniform Rainfall, US Army Corps., Huff's method - 1/4, 4/4), Conclusion: The higher the slope, the smaller the safety factor of the slope, the smaller the elevation of the ground water level as the rainwater seepage does not reach the underground water level. In addition, the ground water level was assessed to be rose significantly in condition of case 3 Huff's method - 1/4, rain pattern with the largest initial rainfall duration, and the safety factor was analyzed to be small.

In recent rainy seasons, severe rain storms have caused frequent reinforced retaining wall collapses and slope sliding which have lead to casualties. In this paper, investigating cases of reinforced retaining wall failure, the causes of cracks in reinforced retaining wall and slope sliding have been examined, and a finite element analysis considering the construction phase has been done to analyze the cause and characteristics of slope sliding. As a result, reinforced retaining wall displacement has increased due to heavy rain storms and the increase size has been shown to be large. From these results, it has been analyzed that pile driving can have an effect on the collapse of reinforced retaining walls.

Slopes are commonly formed both above and below roads located in mountainous terrain and along riversides. The Buk-sil site, a cut slope formed below the road, collapsed in October, 2010. A field investigation determined the causes of failure as improper drainage of valley water from the slope above the road and direct seepage of road-surface water. These factors may have accelerated the collapse via complex interaction between water and sub-surface structures such as bedding. Projection analysis of the site showed the possible involvement of plane, wedge, and toppling failure. Safety factors calculated by Limit Equilibrium Analysis for plane and wedge failure were below the standard for wet conditions. The wetness index, analyzed using topographic factors of the study area, was 9.0-10.5, which is high compared with the values calculated for nearby areas. This finding indicates a high concentration of water flow. We consider that water-flow control on the upper road is crucial for enhancing slope stability at the Buk-sil site.

The movement of rock cut slopes may result in upheaval of an adjacent road. Because most cut slopes consist of rock, road upheaval due to the movement of a cut slope is a rare phenomenon in Korea. We found that the movement of rock slopes which are heavily weathered and with strongly developed weak zones is governed by circular failure of the overall rock formation rather than by failure along discontinuities. The results of a numerical analysis revealed that the application of a ubiquitous joint model in a continuum analysis is appropriate for anisotropic rocks (e.g., schist) and for slopes for which the stability is influenced by a particular discontinuity. The results of a field investigation and numerical analyses suggest that retaining walls and anchors should be used to stabilize rock slopes and that real-time monitoring equipment should be installed to assess the reinforcing effect of the remedial measures.

Several sensor systems are used to estimate and predict the slope behaviors, however though slope sensing systems are much up-to-dated compared to before, they are mainly focused on the hardware developing. It means the analyzing software is deficient to apply the examining slope behavior for slope stability. In real case, slope behavior shows the 3-dimensional movement and failure; however the modeling methods for 3-D behavior are more difficult and need more variables. 1-D analysis shows only the length variation, however the real slope makes the 3-D behaviors. To fix the 3-D space coordinate, three values should be determined such as length, horizontal angle and vertical angle. Therefore if the 3-D coordinate system were composed by the points considered of two directions and length, the 3-D space could be separated into horizontal plane and vertical plane. The data from DY-slope in Chungbuk province was analyzed to the developed 3-D coordinate system. It is concluded from the results of 3-D analysis, the slope is generally moving to transverse direction, also the displacements are happening to road and vertical direction at the same time. Presently, the accumulated displacement between sensing points shows small value within 4.3 cm, and the displacements of all sensing points show the similar directions and magnitudes.

To develope the fundamental models suitable for slope stabilization and scenic effect improvement of the roadside slopes, this study has continuously been conducted for last about 10 years through the field survey and observations on the roadside slopes of 100 plots located in the Capital region. The results obtained could be summarized as follows: 1) In general, due to unsuitable treatments and constructions to the man-made bare slope characteristics of the roadsides, the treatment aims for stabilizing and improving the scenic beauty of the slopes have not been successfully reached in the surveyed regions. 2) Particularly, because of insufficiency of the follow-up maintenance techniques to the roadside slopes treated, denudations of slope scenery established as well as the withering of the vegetation planted have been accelerated for the most part of the slopes treated. 3) 6 fundamental models for the roadside slope treatments have been developed and could be edaptable to the nation-wide purposes. The fundamental models are the model of forest scenery match plantation, roadside scenery establishment, denuded land rehabilitation, rock slope greenification, absolute stabilization, and environmental plantation belt establishment, respectively.
