In this study, 270 cut-slopes are investigated and statistical analyses are performed. More than 84% of unstable slopes are rock slopes or rock-soil mixed slopes, and 72% of the slopes have 10 to 30 meter in height. And in order to clarify the cause of failure, 3 slopes which have been failed are back-analysed by using the computer programs such as DIPS, UDEC and PCSTABL5M. A heavy rainfall during rainy season is a main cause of slope failure, and a blasting vibration during construction could also give a significant influence on the slope instability.

The slope failures frequently occurred during heavy rainfalls in Korea of which 70% consists of mountains result in average 60 casualties and hundreds of millions US dollars of property damage. The status of design methods were analyzed with use of existing 102 design reports, Also, the design standards related to cut slopes are suggested by various institutions but the contents of standards are not proper to reflect the complicated geological features of Korea. And most reports rarely followed the suggested standards and are insufficiently conducted.

Rail road slope can be fatted because of existence of unexpected soft subsoil. Purpose of this study is verifying the cause of rail road slope failure and determination of soil strength for remedy. Drilling some boreholes, cone penetration test and field vane test were executed in order to find out the cause of slope failure. In addition, laboratory test was conducted in order to determine soil strength of soft soil sampled as undisturbed state. As a result of both the in-situ and the laboratory tests, the cause of slope failure is thought to be propagation of failure zone by progressive rupture of overconsolidated clay Soft soil strength was determined through back analysis of the failed slope.

본 연구에서는 과거부터 다양한 형태로 발생한 산사태의 주요 원인을 파악하고 우리나라에서 산사태 발생을 유발시키는 요인과 그 특성을 분석하기 위해 현재까지 발생한 산사태의 붕괴 지역을 조사하고 주요 원인을 강우, 토양, 침투, 경사의 4가지 경우로 나누어 이에 대한 지역별 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 지역별 확률 강우량 산정 후, 이를 토대로 침투량과 유출량을 분리하여 경사면에서의 침투거동과 지하수위 변화양상을 살펴보기 위해 SEEP/W를 이용하여 지역별 산사태 붕괴원인을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 일부지역을 제외한 대부분 지역에서 강우량이 증가함에 따라 지하수위가 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 피해형태는 사면의 위치별로 다르게 나타고 있어 지역별로 산사태 붕괴원인에 따른 적합한 대처가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

Levee breaches can result from flooding due to torrential rainfalls, which are linked with recent abnormal climates and the aging of river levees. Breaches have caused enormous property damage and human casualties in lowland areas. Overtopping was found to be the cause for approximately 40% of all cases of breach. In this study, the reasons and mechanisms behind levee breaches were analyzed using hydraulic model testing. The overtopping stability and time delay effect of breaches were assessed for levees made with a new environmentally friendly substance. Image analysis revealed that the total breach time of the levees made with the new substance was about 2.25 times greater than that of an earthen levee. The initial breach rate of a general earthen levee was about 1.43 times higher than that of levees covered with the new substance, and the body collapsed rapidly. The breach mechanisms of levees covered with the new substance were completely different, and it is possible to prevent rapid breaches by mitigation of the breach speed on the slope by resisting overtopping.

To be design the slope, the area distributed the mica schist which was metamorphosed by shale or mudstone must carefully consider the stability. Mica schist is another unstable rock for slope by schistosity, cleavage, axial plane of a fold etc. In general mica schist contains the swelling clay minerals such as smectite, vermiculite and montmorillonite. These minerals make the slope unstable. At OO tunnel construction area for the rail way of the Kyungbu high speed train, the slope of mica schist is very unstable by the distribution phenomena of the discontinuous plane such as joints which are 1-5 cm spacing and thrust and strike-slip fault. By the drilling core of this area, most RQD have 0-20%.

This paper deal with the analysis of the causes about case of collapsed reinforced-soil retaining wall. The analysis of the cause was carried through experimentation, slop stability analysis and literature study. The experimentation treated the large direct shear test, the hydraulic conductivity test and the other basic test through backfill extraction from collapsed reinforced-soil retaining wall. The ultimate tensile strength was established by rib tensile strength test of geogrid. The analysis of internal and external stability of reinforced-soil retaining wall was performed on the basis of parameters. The result of analysis, reinforced-soil retaining wall and the slope at the dry season are stable. However, the factors that fine-grained soil at hydrometer test exceed the standard of the design, rainfall duration is too long at the time of collapse and monthly pricipitation is heavy, which are causes of the collapse.

More than 70% of Korea consists of mountainous area and during the construction of roads and railroads many cut-slopes are inevitably formed. A number of environmental factors, such as the rainy season and frost heave during winter/thaw during spring, can result in rock falls and landslides. The failure of slopes is increasing every year and can cause damage to vehicles, personal injury and even fatality. In order to help protect people and property, there is a need for real-time monitoring systems to detect the early stages of slope failures. In this respect, the GMG has been using Translation Rotation Settlement (TRS) sensor units installed on slopes to monitor movement in real-time. However, the data lines of this system are vulnerable and the whole system can be damaged by a single lightning strike. In order to overcome this, GMG have proposed the use of Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN). The adoption of a USN system in lieu of data cables can help to minimize the risk of lightning damage and improve the reliability of slope monitoring systems.

국내에서 사면 붕괴의 직접적인 원인은 강우에 의한 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 강우침투에 따른 지하수위 상승과 간극수압 증가, 강우강도 크기에 직접적으로 영향을 받는 지표면 유출로 인한 사면의 표면토사 유출 및 얕은 사면붕괴로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 강우로 인한 지반내 침투로 불포화토가 포화토로 변화는 과정에서 침투능을 산정하고자 기존의 침투공식을 검토하고 TDR 센서를 이용한 실내실험을 통한 침투능 산정공식을 제시하였다. 제시한 침투능 산정공식을 검증하기 위한 침투실험을 수행하여 결과를 비교 분석하였으며, 이론적 해석 및 실내실험에 의한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 포화도 변화에 따른 TDR데이터 변화는 일정했으며 이를 회귀분석을 통하여 함수화하였고, 이 함수를 이용하여 지반의 포화도 및 함수비를 파악할 수 있었다. 둘째, 흡인수두항과 중력수두항이 결합된 연속적인 침투능 산정공식을 새로이 유도하였으며, 이를 이용한 결과와 TDR 센서를 이용한 실험결과와 거의 유사함을 알 수 있었다.
