Slope failure that is occurred by rainfall generates a lot of property damages and loss of lives. Slope stability management and reinforcement countermeasure can be attained through continuous monitoring about various slope types that adjoin in human's life for reducing slope failure from natural and artificial cut slope hazards. The study area is rock slope that is consisted of gneiss, and large scale joint set is ranging by fault activity. This rock mass is exposed during long period and has lithological weathering property of weathered rock or soft rock. In-situ investigation carried out after divide by natural slope and cut slope. As a result, the natural slope appeared to high possibility of planar failure and wedge failure in few joint points that main joint set is formed. On the other hand, slope failure conformation in cut slope was superior only wedge failure occurrence possibility in eight joint points. In result of numerical analysis using SLIDE 2D, the minimum safety factor was analyzed slope stability for cut slope relatively low than natural slope in this study.

The slope design of an open-pit mine must consider economical efficiency and stability. Thus, the overall slope angle is the principal factor because of limited support or reinforcement options available in such a setting. In this study, slope displacement, as monitored by a GPS system, was analyzed for a coal mine at Pasir, Indonesia. Predictions of failure time by inverse velocity analysis showed good agreement with field observations. Therefore, the failure time of an unstable slope can be roughly estimated prior to failure. A GIS model that combines fuzzy theory and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was developed to assess slope instability in open-pit coal mines. This model simultaneously considers seven factors that influence the instability of open-pit slopes (i.e., overall slope gradient, slope height, surface flows, excavation plan, tension cracks, faults, and water body). Application of the proposed method to an open-pit coal mine revealed an enhanced prediction accuracy of failure time and failure site compared with existing methods.

The information of cut slope in Mt. Jang area, Busan is investigated in order to construct the Slope Management System in Urban Area. The slope inspection sheet is made to record the characteristics for cut slopes, and that is capable to be inputted slope information systematically. The cut slopes in Mt. Jang area are consisting of 69 slopes. Most of the cut slopes are constructed in cutting slope and retaining wall (CR). The cut slopes located in housing facilities are 46 slopes, and the slopes located in school facilities are 12 slopes. The traverse of cut slopes is mainly ranged from 50 m to 150 m, and the height is mainly ranged from 10 m to 20 m. The slopes combined with soil and rock are mostly distributed. The retaining wall was installed in the toe part of cut slope in order to increase the slope stability, and the additional reinforcement methods including the anchor, drainage, preventing rock fall, shotcrete and vegetation were installed at the toe part of cut slopes.

Shear strength of the discontinuity on which the pre-failure of rock slope was occurred during surface excavation was measured through the direct shear test using core samples obtained in-situ. Internal friction angle was increased as the roughness of discontinuity surface(JRC) was increased. Results of the tilt test using core samples of higher JRC also showed very similar trend as those of the direct shear test. When the samples replicated from natural cores were used int he tilt test, results of friction angles showed almost perfect continuation of the residual friction angles from the direct shear test. However, when the gouge material existed in the discontinuity the internal friction angle strongly depended upon the rate of filling thickness to the height of asperity irrespective of the JRC. Based on the results of both direct shear test and tilt test internal friction angle and cohesion of discontinuity, which reflect the in-situ conditions fo pre-sliding failure and also can be used for the optimum design of support system, were assessed. Two kinds of support measures which were expected to increase the stability of rock slope were considered; lowering of slope face angle and installation of rock cable. But, it was found that the first method might lead to more unstable conditions of rock slope when the cohesion of discontinuity plane was negligibly low and in that case the support systems of any kind which could exert actual resisting force were needed to ensure the permanent stability of rock slope.

This study was for analysing the sedimentary rock slope stability and providing the reinforcement method that can heighten stability. The study area consists of Cretaceous basalt or basaltic tuff belonging to Hak-Bong Basalt Formation in Ha-Yang Group. Nature of geological structure confirmed in this area ars bedding, joint and fault. Majority of geological structure that affect most relationship rock slope stability is bedding. It is shown that dip direction is 120~160/15~25. In other structure, joint sets are shown that dip direction of set 1 is 310~330/65~85 and set 2 is 230~250/70~85. Joint set 3 shows above 85$^{\circ}$ high angle on NE trend although do not show clear. Stability analysis about rock slope used kinematic analysis, limit equilibrium method and FLAC by numerical analysis method. FLAC is continuum model that use Fintie Defferentce Method, but could use Interfaces Module and get discrete model's analysis effect such as UDEC.

The instability of rock slopes caused by heavy rainfall and soil mass sliding needs the preventable and reinforcing method. The most important factor for the stability is the shear strength available in the planar part of the failure surface, which shows that a progressive failure takes place and a reinforcing of rock slope using FRP grout is effectively available. In this study, a grouting bolting interval predictions by limit equilibrium analysis and Matlab mathematical computer codes in several cases is presented for FRP reinforced rock slope. The proposed mathematical computer code can be easily applied for seeking properly FRP grout intervals prior to design and execute a reinforcement of a rock slope in practice.

This study analyzes stability and the reason of slope failure about cut slope on stony mountain in Acheondong, Guri and suggests the reasonal reinforce method. Based on the results of the subsurface exploration, laboratory tests, and the numerical analysis of finite element method, the potentials of plane and wedge failure are highly estimated. The safety factor was 1.2 under dry and 1.06 wet condition. The most proper reinforce method to raise the safety factor more than 1.5 was the way to control displacement by using step retaining wall, earth anchor, wire mesh, and rock anchor.

댐의 침투수량은 준공이후 댐 안전성 확보를 나타내는 지표 중의 하나이며, 유지관리를 위해 침투수량 측정을 실시하여 관리를 하고 있다. 댐 타입별로 침투수량에 대한 허용치와 관리기준치는 다르지만, 기본적으로 댐에서 발생되는 침투수량은 측정범위를 넘지 않도록 관리를 하고 있다. 댐의 침투수량 측정은 댐 하류에 누수집수벽을 설치하고 댐에서 발생되는 침투수량을 집수한 후 삼각위어를 통하여 침투수량을 측정하고 있다. 이러한 침투수량 측정은 대부분의 댐에서 실시간으로 자동측정하고 있지만, 경우에 따라 미계측 구간이 발생되어 댐 유지관리 측면에서 미계측에 대한 원인분석이 필요한 실정이다. 일반적으로 침투수량의 미계측 원인은 계측기기, 삼각위어, 누수집수벽, 기초지반 등 다양한 원인이 있지만 명확한 원인을 찾기는 어려움이 많다. 특히, 댐 침투수량의 경우 지하수위, 댐 표면 우수, 침투수가 같이 측정되기 때문에 원인분석을 위해서는 다양한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구의 표면차수벽형석괴댐은 누수집수벽을 통하여 침투수량을 측정하고 있으나, 일부 구간 미계측 부분이 발생하여 기초지반, 댐체 하류사면, 여수로와 댐체 접합부를 통한 누수를 원인으로 추정하였다. 이를 조사하기 위하여 전기비저항 탐사, 시추조사, 수압시험, 지하수위 측정 결과를 이용하여 누수발생 추정위치를 찾고, 침투수량이 미계측되는 원인을 분석하고자 하였다. 전기비저항 탐사는 여수로 접합부, 누수집수벽 상·하류 구간을 선정하여 측정한 결과 상·하류 저비저항대가 존재하는 구간을 추정할 수 있었다. 수압시험 결과 기초암반은 2.3 ~ 21.3 Lu(3.65×10^-5 ~ 3.65×10^-4 cm/sec)의 범위로 누수 가능성이 있는 높은 투수성을 갖는 부분을 확인할 수 있었다. 전기비저항 탐사, 수압시험, 지하수위 측정을 통해 누수집수벽 기초지반 누수발생 원인분석 결과 누수집수벽 기초암반을 통한 누수로 누수집수벽에 댐체를 통한 침투수량이 저류되지 못하는 현상이 발생하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 침투수량계의 정상화를 위해서는 조사를 통해 확인된 누수집수벽 기초암반 누수구간의 그라우팅 보수보강이 필요함을 확인하였다.

In order to establish the design method of anchored retention walls in cut slope, the behavior of anchored retention walls and backside ground needs to be investigated and checked in detail. In this study, the behavior of anchored retention walls was investigated by instrumentation installed in cut slope for an apartment construction site stabilized by a row of piles and anchored retention walls. When the anchor was installed at each excavating stages, the horizontal deflection of retention wall decreased, while the horizontal deformation of backside ground increased. The deflection of anchored retention wall decreased as the anchor was prestressed. The prestressed anchor farce has a great effect on the deflection of retention walls, while it has little effect on the deformation of its backside ground. The maximum horizontal deflection of anchored retention walls was developed between $1\%\;and\;4\%$ of excavation depth, which are $2\~8$ times larger than max. horizontal deflection of anchored retention walls including rock layers with backside horizontal ground. Meanwhile, SLOPILE (ver. 3.0) program analyzes the slope stability effects for anchored retention walls. As a result of analysis on slope stability analysis, the lateral earth pressure applied at anchored retention piles could be used as the mean values of empirical lateral pressures using anchored retention wall with horizontal ground at its backside.

The major petroglyphs of Bangudae site were composed mainly of hornfelsed shale. Surface of the rock was formed weathering layer (average porosity 25%) that discriminated mineral and chemical composition against fresh rock (average porosity 0.4%). The lost area of major petroglyphs in the past up images carved to the present was calculated about 23.8%. And occurrence area of exfoliation indicated 1.2% of the whole petroglyphs. As a result of the chromaticity analysis, color of the major petroglyphs was changed brighter and yellower than fresh rock by chemical and biological weathering factors. Average ultrasonic velocity of petroglyphs was measured 2,865m/s. This result indicated that ultrasonic velocity decreased especially bottom of petroglyphs than measured result in 2003 year. The results of the evaluation for slope stability, it identified the possibility of toppling, planar and wedge failure in host rock. The 3D image analysis and modeling data of the cavern obtained for structural reinforcement.
