Calculation of seismic displacements in reinforced slopes plays a crucial role in appropriate design of these structures however current analytical methods result indifferent values for permanent displacements of the slope. In this paper, based on limit equilibrium and using the horizontal slices method, a new formulation has been proposed for estimating the seismic displacements of a reinforced slope under earthquake records. In this method, failure wedge is divided into a number of horizontal slices. Assuming linear variations for tensile forces of reinforcements along the height of the slope, the coefficient of yield acceleration has been estimated. The simplicity of calculations and taking into account the frequency content of input triggers are among the advantages of the present formulation. Comparison of the results shows that the yield acceleration calculated by the suggested method is very close to the values resulted from other techniques. On the other hand, while there is a significant difference between permanent displacements, the values obtained from the suggested method place somehow between those calculated by the other techniques.

Stepped earth slopes incorporated with anti-slide piles are widely utilized in landslide disaster preventions. Explicit consideration of the three-dimensional (3D) effect in the slope design warrants producing more realistic solutions. A 3D limit analysis of the stability of pile stabilized stepped slopes is performed in light of the kinematic limit analysis theorem. The influences of seismic excitation and surcharge load are both considered from a kinematic perspective. The upper bound solution to the factor of safety is optimized and compared with published solutions, demonstrating the capability and applicability of the proposed method. Comparative studies are performed with respect to the roles of 3D effect, pile location, pile spacing, seismic and surcharge loads in the safety assessments of stepped slopes. The results demonstrate that the stability of pile reinforced stepped slopes differ with that of single stage slopes dramatically. The optimum pile location lies in the upper portion of the slope around L_x/L = 0.9, but may also lies in the shoulder of the bench. The pile reinforcement reaches 10% universally for a looser pile spacing D_c/d_p = 5.0, and approaches 70% when the pile spacing reaches D_c/d_p = 2.0.

The purpose of this study is to examine the ecologically suitable restoration characteristics in riparian slopes constructed by continuous fiber soil reinforced system (Geofiber system) which does not contain the concrete materials. The findings are as follows : (1) as the tested soil was not washed away by rainfalls and floods, Geofiber could replace the concrete wall and gravity stone net bag technique from the civil engineering structural point of view; (2) after one year of the construction, it was monitored that land cover ratio was 80-90%, which indirectly shows that vegetation is safely maintained; and (3) at the same time, 5-8 flora species were found in each test grid and more importantly dominant species have been moved from alien species to native herbaceous plants. From the above findings, Geofiber system is recommendable to restore the riparian slopes in terms of stability and natural landscape points. However, a long term monitering is needed considering flora succession process in a given environment as well as suitability tests should be carried out through the comparative investigations in other environments.

Results of two-part wedge analysis and centrifuge test executed by Zornberg et al. were compared for geotextile-reinforced slope stability. For two-part wedge analysis results of two cases, a frictional case considering internal friction of soil as interwedge friction and a nonfrictional case not considering, were also compared and evaluated. The analysis was based on limit equilibrium and two-part wedge was divided into slices as many as the number of geotextiles to obtain a maximum tension distribution mobilized in reinforcements. A significant observation was that the distribution was a triangular shape with maximum tension of geotextile at a transit point of interwedge. The number of geotextiles and failure surface of frictional case were reasonable and more comparable to results of the centrifuge tests than those of nonfrictional case. Therefore it can be said that two-part wedge analysis is recommendable for design analysis of reinforced slopes if an interwedge angle is regarded to be an angle of internal friction in soil.

Soil Nailing 공법은 사면보강과 지반굴착시 많이 사용되고 있는 공법이다. 일반적인 Soil Nailing의 해석은 복잡한 컴퓨터해석을 필요로 하지만 본 연구에서는 한계평형 해석을 이용하여 단순사면에 Soil Nailing 보강검토시 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 설계도표를 제안하였다. 3가지 사면형태와 네일의 길이비, 입사각을 선택하여 한계평형해석에 근거한 Bishop법과 French Method를 적용하여 해석하였으며 신속한 설계가 요구되는 경우나 예비설계단계, 그리고 설계에 대한 최종 검토시 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 안정도표로 정리하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 도표를 Taylor의 도표와 비교한 결과 유사한 안전율을 계산할 수 있었으며 Soil Nailing 보강도표를 네일의 길이비와 입사각의 선택시 활용한다면 해석에 따른 시간을 많이 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We have analyzed the stability for cut-slopes at main street 3-2 line section in Pa-ju local industrial complex. After studying an additional boring test, laboratory test and face mapping etc., we have determined the extent of reinforcement, slope inclinations and soil strength parameter from the analysis of test results. After changing the inclination of slopes for ground limit and carrying out the analysis of slope stability, we applied the Mass Nailing Method to the site because of need for reinforcement to soil and weathered rock slopes. In slope for soft and hard rock sections, we also reinforced the sections that are difficult to obtain the safety without reinforcement in alteration zone.

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is being effectively used in many countries to protect embankment and slopes for their characteristics of having long and strong roots. In this paper, in-situ shear tests of the ground with the vetiver roots have been conducted to investigate the stabilization properties corresponding to the embankment slopes. Numerical analyses have also been performed with the finite element method using elastoplastic subloading $t_{ij}$ model, which can simulate typical soil behavior. It is revealed from field tests that the shear strength of vetiver rooted soil matrix is higher than that of the unreinforced soil. The reinforced soil with vetiver root also shows ductile behavior. The numerical analyses capture well the results of the in-situ shear tests. Effectiveness of vetiver root in geotechnical structures-strip foundation and embankment slope has been evaluated by finite element analyses. It is found that the reinforcement with vetiver root enhances the bearing capacities of the grounds and stabilizes the embankment slopes.

많은 급경사 보강성토 또는 보강토벽 구조물의 장점은 토지 이용의 효율성이나 현장에서 사용하는 공법 비용들의 경제성 때문에 점점 높아지고 있다. 보강토체의 인장력을 이용한 기존 보강토옹벽 공법들은 자연사면의 경사보다 훨씬 급경사에 설계할 수 있도록 발전해 왔다. 지반개량재를 사용하여 급경사의 전면벽체를 보강한 방법은 최근에 상당히 효율적인 토지 사용을 위해 많이 공사되고 있다. 본 연구는 지오그리드를 매설한 뒷채움 흙과 지반개량재로 보강한 전면벽체로 구성한 복합보강토 옹벽을 소개한다. 급경사를 이루고 있는 전면벽체의 안정성을 위해 현장시공 계측과 수치해석으로 비교 검증과 분석하였다. 또한 현장계측은 14개월 동안의 변위측정으로 안정성에 대한 관측으로 수치해석과 비교하였다. 현장시험 시공에서 일반적인 수직하중에 의한 수평거동은 최대 15mm(대략 0.2%)가 발생하였지만 안전범위인 0.5% 이내를 보여주고 있다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 최대수평변위의 안정성의 신뢰도와 지반개량재 벽면공의 타당성에 대한 가능성을 검증하였다.

Slope stability analyses have been carried out to investigate surcharge loading effects. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) involves the stress-strain behaviour of soils achieving reasonably accurate and useful results of slope stability analysis. Therefore, in this study, one of well known FEA programs, SIGMA/W, has been used to do slope stability analyses with respect to various upper slope angles and surcharge loadings. Factor of Safety(FS) exponentially decreases and significantly good correlation with the increased slope angle for upper slopes. As the surcharge loading increases from 10 t/m to 90 t/m for nail-reinforced slopes, the FS in fully saturated condition decreases from 42% to 47% and from 17% to 25% for relatively low and high strength of soils, respectively, than in dry condition.
