Taking account of the structural variation on species composition according to the different topographic positions and aspects, the forest community attributes such as species composition, species diversity index, and similarity coefficient were comparatively analyzed for the three topographic positions and the four aspects in the natural deciduous forest of Mt. Gari area. The results are as follows 1. The most dominant species in the overstory were Quercus mongolica in the mid-slope, the ridge, and all aspects areas, however, the stands of the topographic positions were less similar than the stands of the aspects in species composition, because of the appearance of the specific domonant species such as Juglans mandshurica in the valley area and Pinus densiflora in the ridge area. 2. Among the three topographic positions, the mid-slope area had greatest species diversity index in overstory, but the index of the valley had greater value than those of mid-slope and ridge in mid-story and understory. The north-east area among the aspects had greatest the index in all canopy layers. However, The stands of the aspects showed more smaller variation than the stands of the topographic positions. 3. The ridge area showed greatest similarity coefficient value with the mid-slope area, but showed least similarity coefficient value with the valley. However, similarity coefficient among the topographic positions had much smaller value than similarity coefficient among the aspects.

절토사면은 토층, 풍화토, 풍화암, 연암, 경암 등의 풍화도가 다른 물질로 구성되어 있어 지반구성 물질에 대한 공학적인 판단이 쉽지 않으며 시공 중 또는 후에 사면의 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 사면의 안정성 문제는 과거 30여 년 동안 고속도로의 많은 절토사면에서 경험되어 왔으며 현재에도 계속적으로 사면붕괴 및 복구를 경험하고 있으나 체계적인 관리 및 조사가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 절토사면의 체계적인 관리체계의 구축과 효율적인 자료분석을 위하여 사면관리용 데이터베이스 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이들 관리프로그램을 활용한다면 국내에 분포하는 암반의 내적 요인들에 대한 지질 공학적인 특성을 파악할 수 있으며 지역에 따라 분포하는 암석종류, 지질시대 및 지질구조에 따라 붕괴유형 및 발생빈도 등을 분석함으로써 도로 및 주택단지의 개설시 예비적인 사면안정문제를 예견할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

More than 64% of Korea's land is occupied by mountain regions, which have terrain characteristics that make it vulnerable to mountain disasters. The trails of Taebaeksan Mountain National Park-the region considered in this study-are located in the vicinity of steep slopes, and therefore, the region is vulnerable to landslides and debris flow during heavy storms. In this study, a slope stability model, which is a deterministic analysis method, was used to examine the potential occurrence of landslides. According to the soil classification of the detailed soil map, the specific weight of soil, effective cohesion, internal friction angle of soil, effective soil depth, and ground slope were used as the parameters of the model, and slope stability was evaluated based on the DEM of a 1 m grid. The results of the slope stability analysis showed that the more hazardous the area was, the closer the ratio of groundwater/effective soil depth is to 1.0. Further, many of the private houses and commercial facilities in the lower part of the national park were shown to be exposed to danger.

The Chuwang valley-Kumunkwangi valley forest in Chuwangsan area was studied to investigate forest structure in relation to altitude and part of slope. Forty eight quadrats were set up in the valley forest along altitude of 470m to 780m and part of the slope. Density and basal area of trees in tree strata decreased as increasing elevation. With increasing elevation the importance values of Quercus mongolica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla increased, while those of Pinus densiflora, Lindera obtussiloba decreased. As going from lower part to upper part of the slope, the importance values of Quercus valiabilis and Lindera obtussiloba increased while those of Fraxius rhynchophylla, Acer mono decreased. Species diversity tended to decreased as going to upper parts of the slope. The range of similarity indices between elevation belts, and parts of the slope were 74.4~84.2% and 68.0~96.3%, respectively. According to importance value and cluster analysis, the studied valley forest was classified into three forest communities of Pinus densiflora-deciduous tree species community of lower part of slope, Pinus densiflora-Quercus variabilis community of middle and upper part of slope, Pinus densiflora community of the top area.

Sliding aspects of rock slope, where large-scaled tension cracks are induced during preliminary excavation, have been analyzed. Structure of rock mass is investigated by performing the electrical resistivity survey and the orientations and positions of discontinuities are measured from DOM-drilled core log. Geological evidence far primary failure movement has been detected and clay minerals which possess swelling properties are identified through XRD analysis. Slope stability is examined by considering the orientations of discontinuities and their trace distributions on the cut-face and neighboring natural slope surface. Both orientations and positions of failure-invoking discontinuity planes, traces of which are exposed within the anticipated sliding region, are concerned fur analyzing the preferred sliding directions. Regional sliding vectors are assessed based on the relative positions of potential sliding planes in the boreholes and the general trend of anticipated failure movement of rock slope is also investigated.

Conventional warning criteria for landslides due to rainfall in broad regions have limitations, because they did not have proper reflection of topography, forest physiognomy, and unsaturated soil properties, et al. This study suggested a new stability model for unsaturated slope analyses during rainfall, considering rainfall pattern, geomorphological characteristics (slope angle, soil depth), engineering properties of unsaturated soils, and tree surcharge and root reinforcement. Stability analysis not considering root reinforcement and tree surcharge tends to over-predict a factor of safety in unsaturated slopes. Developed slope stability model was used to build database on the factor of safety in unsaturated slopes during rainfall, and it was integrated with GIS to do quantitative risk analysis in landslide risk areas specified in Ulju. Landslide risk areas were located at downstream of the point with sudden drop in safety factor, as well as at regions with low safety factor during rainfall.

강원도 홍천일대의 지역은 경기육괴의 편마암이 주암종으로 이루어진 지역으로 대규모의 홍천단층이 지나고 있다. 과거 이 단층대 부근에서 건설된 도로건설시에 발생된 많은 절토사면의 붕괴를 통해 그 원인 파악 및 차후 고려해야 할 사항을 파악하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제 중에 하나이다. 본 논문은 붕괴를 토대로 붕괴의 원인 및 대책방안을 파악하고자 한다. 홍천일대의 사면붕괴를 유발시키는 원인으로는 크게 두 가지 지질구조적인 요인을 들 수 있는데 하나는 사면방향으로 발달하는 편마암내에 발달하는 엽리면을 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 사례가 있고 둘째는 단층파쇄대 및 단층대를 따라 붕괴가 발생되는 원인으로 대별할 수 있다. 두 번째의 요인은 비교적 규모가 큰 사면붕괴를 유발하게 되고 막대한 복구비용이 수반되는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 단층의 수반에 의해 발생되는 절토사면은 대책방안으로 사면경사완화 방안, 앵커 및 억지말뚝과 같은 보강방법에 의해 안정화를 시키는 사례가 주를 이루었으며 차후 이 일대의 건설공사시에는 단층대의 방향 및 규모에 대한 조사를 세밀히 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The vegetation such as grass, shrub, tree has been used to control the erosion and stabilize the slope for a long time. But the effects of vegetation on slope area is usually neglected in traditional stability analyses. There are many errors in slope analyses in thin soil mantles. Therefore the effects of vegetation is an important factor. But it is difficult and complex to represent the vegetation influence quantitatively in stability analysis. In this study, authors choose the landslide region at the Kum sung dong Kum-jung ku Pusan as a model area. Authors analyzed the degree of slope with the aerial photo interpretation and DTM data extracted from the topographic map, and the relationship of D.B.H. (diameter of breast height), height, and age of tree in field investigation data. Finally authors know the fact that landslide take place approximately 10 or 20 years later in arbitrary afforestable area where the degree of slope is 27. The prevention effect must be considered in the control of vegetation.

A geophysical survey was undertaken at Wiri area, Andong, to delineate subsurface structure and reveal the fault zone nearby which heaving of road and subsidence of slope occurred in 1997, especially in the heavy rainy season. Electrical resistivity methods of dipole-dipole array profiling and Schlumberger array sounding and seismic methods of refraction and reflection were performed for the mapping of clay layer, which was interpreted to be the major factor among the reasons of slope deformation. The clay layer was characterized by lower electrical resistivities (< $100{\Omega}{\cdot}m$) and lower seismic velocities (<400 m/s), respectively. The results of electrical and seismic surveys showed that subsidence of slope was probably associated with sliding of wet clay on 18SW/NNW trending fault plane, while heaving of road was probably caused by upward movement of the wet clay through subvertical NNE trending fault.
