산사태의 원인들은 강우강도와 강우지속시간 그리고 사면의 함수특성에 따라 좌우된다. 기존의 사면안정해석에서는 사면을 포화토로 가정하여 해석해왔다. 그러나 강우로 인한 적절한 사면의 거동을 설명하기 위해서는 불포화지반으로 구성되어 있는 현장사면을 모사하여 해석해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 주요한 산지를 구성하고 있는 지반인 화강풍화토와 편마암풍화토를 구분하여 비탈면붕괴에대한 실내모형시험과 수치해석을 병행하여 강우침투와 사면의 안정성에 대해서 분석하고자 하였다. 일반적으로 세립분을 많이 포함하고 있는 편마암풍화토의 투수계수는 화강풍화토의 투수계수보다 느리다. 이러한 조건의 특징을 활용하여 두 가지 다른 풍화토의 침투량을 체적함수비 센서를 활용하여 강우로 인한 표층의 침투특성을 실내시험과 수치해석으로 비교하고자 한다.

The plane deformation and spatial seepage(PDSS) analysis was developed to consider 3D flow of excess pore water as well as plane deformation of ground. Here is newly developed an equivalent model for PDSS analysis, which was the purpose to reduce number of finite elements and to take the effects of smear and well resistance into consideration. As the result of PDSS analysis with applying the new model, it is showed that the settlement-tin e relationship by PDSS agrees well with those of Plane strain(PS) and axisymmetric analyses, irrespective of existence of untreated layer. And the excess pore pressure distribution by PDSS is relatively agreed with that of axisymmetric analysis, not with that of PS.

To investigate the effect of spatial variability on hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils, a numerical model is set up which can simulate seepage process in an unsaturated heterogeneous soil. The unsaturated heterogeneous soil is composed of matrix sand embedded with a small proportion of clay for simulating the heterogeneity. Soil-water characteristic curve and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curve of the unsaturated soil are expressed by Van Genuchten model. Hydraulic parameters of the matrix sand are considered as random fields. Different autocorrelation lengths (ACLs) of hydraulic parameter of the matrix sand and different proportions of clay are assumed to investigate the influence of spatial variability on the equivalent hydraulic properties of the heterogeneous soil. Four model sizes are used in the numerical experiments to investigate the influence of scale effects and to determine the sizes of representative volume element (RVE) in the numerical simulations. Through a number of Monte Carlo simulations of unsaturated seepage analysis, the means and the coefficients of variations (COVs) of the equivalent hydraulic parameters of the heterogeneous soil are calculated. Simulations show that the ACL and model size has little influence on the means of the equivalent hydraulic parameters, but they have a large influence on the COVs of the equivalent hydraulic parameters. The size of an RVE is mainly affected by the ACL and the proportion of heterogeneity. The influence of spatial variability on the hydraulic parameters of the heterogeneous unsaturated soil can be used as a guidance for geotechnical reliability analysis and design related to unsaturated soils.

This study analyzed pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement through laboratory model tests in order to suggest the effective remodeling method in the case of reinforcing the upstream and downstream slope of deteriorated reservoirs that has no cores and filters or is not functional. The method of remodeling the upstream slope using dredge soil is first prevent seepage by installing the core, and the leakage water can be rapidly discharged through a filter installed on the downstream slope. Therefore, it is considered a highly efficient method of remodeling that reduces piping phenomena and increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir. The variation of earth pressure without the core and filter was greater than with it, while the change largely showed in the upstream slope, the downstream slope did not show any significant changes. The remodeling method of the downstream slope with the core appeared differently pore water pressure depending on the presence of the vertical and horizontal filters. In the upstream slope, the pore water pressure rises sharply, the base and middle gradually increased, and the downstream slope appeared small. The pore water pressure of embankment with a vertical and horizontal filter will be smaller than without it. The remodeling of deteriorated reservoir that does not have the function of the filter, the vertical filter must be installed in a position that is higher than the expected seepage line by removing portions of the downstream slopes. Since the horizontal filter is an important structure that provides stable drainage during an earthquake or concentrated leak, it is necessary to examine any change in the seepage characteristics depending on the filter intervals via three-dimensional finite element analysis, and it should be connected to the tow-drain to reduce the possibility of the collapse of the reservoir.

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) is a commonly used geotechnical support technique that can be applied in any soil type and has low environmental impact. Experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted to optimize AGF for application in diverse scenarios. Precise simulation of groundwater flow is crucial to improving the reliability these investigations' results. Previous experimental research has mostly considered horizontal seepage flow, which does not allow accurate calculation of the groundwater flow velocity due to spatial variation of the piezometric head. This study adopted vertical seepage flow-which can maintain a constant cross-sectional area-to eliminate the limitations of using horizontal seepage flow. The closure time is a measure of the time taken for an impermeable layer to begin to form, this being the time for a frozen soil-ice wall to start forming adjacent to the freeze pipes; this is of great importance to applied AGF. This study reports verification of the reliability of our experimental apparatus and measurement system using only water, because temperature data could be measured while freezing was observed visually. Subsequent experimental AFG tests with saturated sandy soil were also performed. From the experimental results, a method of estimating closure time is proposed using the inflection point in the thermal conductivity difference between pore water and pore ice. It is expected that this estimation method will be highly applicable in the field. A further parametric study assessed factors influencing the closure time using a two-dimensional coupled thermo-hydraulic numerical analysis model that can simulate the AGF of saturated sandy soil considering groundwater flow. It shows that the closure time is affected by factors such as hydraulic gradient, unfrozen permeability, particle thermal conductivity, and freezing temperature. Among these factors, changes in the unfrozen permeability and particle thermal conductivity have less effect on the formation of frozen soil-ice walls when the freezing temperature is sufficiently low.

하천 제방은 홍수 시 유수를 원활하게 소통시키고 제내지를 보호하기 위해 하천을 따라 축조한 시설이다. 하지만 이러한 제방도 침투로 인해 제내지측 사면에 포화표면이 지속적으로 발생하게 되면, 제방은 파괴될 수 있다. 제체 침투에 의해 발생되는 침윤선은 적절한 배수 체계를 이용하여 강하될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 제내지 비탈 끝에 설치되는 배수공을 통한 침투조절의 효과를 제시하고, 각기 다른 형상을 하고 있는 미국의 공병단과 일본의 국토개발기술연구센터에서 제시한 배수공의 효과를 비교, 검토하는데 있다. 이를 위해 배수공의 포함 여부에 따른 제방 침투에 관한 모형실험을 수행하였다. 축조된 제방 모형의 규격은 둑마루폭 0.5m, 하부폭 2.6m, 사면경사 1 : 2, 제방 높이 0.55m이고, 제외지측 수위는 0.5m이다. 미 공병단의 배수공은 삼각형이고 일본의 국토개발기술연구센터의 배수공은 사각형이며, 각각의 배수공 폭은 0.4m로 설치하였다. 배수공을 포함하지 않은 제방 모형에서는 침투에 의해 제내지측 사면에 포화표면이 발생하였으나, 미 공병단과 일본의 국토개발기술연구센터에서 제시한 배수공을 포함한 제방에서는 모두 포화표면이 발생하지 않았다. 이러한 모형실험의 결과는 SEEP/W를 통한 수치모의 모형의 보정과 검증에 활용되었다. 그리고 배수공의 폭을 5 cm씩 줄여가며 수치모의를 수행해 본 결과, 일본의 국토개발기술연구센터식 배수공이 미국의 공병단식 배수공에 비해 다소 안정한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 일본의 국토개발기술연구센터식 배수공은 시공이 쉬운 장점이 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 배수공을 이용한 제방의 침투조절 계획에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

하천제방의 안정성 향상을 위해서는 양질의 성토재료 사용, 철저한 다짐관리, 적절한 수리구조물 및 차수벽 설치 등이 필요하다. 특히, 하천제방 축조를 위한 양질의 성토재료는 하천제방의 안정성에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 하상토의 제방 성토재로서 적합성 평가를 위한 기초연구로서, 국내 하상토의 제체재료로서의 침투에 대한 안정성 평가를 위하여 하천설계기준(2005)의 제체 표준단면을 이용한 모형시험과수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 국내 발생 하상토의 경우 대부분이 모래(SP)로서 하천설계기준 제체재료의 투수계수 ($10^{-3}cm/sec$ 이하)를 만족시키지 못하였으며 양질토 혼합 및 함수비 조정 등과 같은 안정처리공법이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다.

The causes of landslides are dependant on rainfall events and the soil characteristics of a slope. For the conventional slope stability, the slope stability analysis has been carried out assuming the saturated soil theory. But, in order to clearly explain a proper soil slope condition by rainfall, the research should be performed using the unsaturated soil mechanism suitable for a soil slope in the field. In the study, by using two major categories of soils in Korea, such as granite and gneiss weathered soils, landslide model test and finite element method have been compared with the difference of seepage and soil stability analysis. The hydraulic conductivity of gneiss weathered soil is slower than that of granite weathered soil, and the gneiss weathered soil contains much finer soils than the granite weathered soil. It was confirmed that the instability of the slope was progressing slowly due to the slow rate of volumetric water content of the surface layer.

This paper presents an elasto-plastic model for determination of the ground response curve of a circular underwater tunnel excavated in elastic-strain softening rock mass compatible with a nonlinear Hoek-Brown yield criterion. The finite difference method (FDM) was used to propose a new solution to calculate pore water pressure, stress, and strain distributions on periphery of circular tunnels in axisymmetric and plain strain conditions. In the proposed solution, a modified non-radial flow pattern, for the hydraulic analysis, is utilized. To evaluate the effect of gravitational loads and variations of pore water pressure, the equations concerning different directions around the tunnel (crown, wall, and floor) are derived. Regarding the strain-softening behavior of the rock mass, the stepwise method is executed for the plastic zone in which parameters of strength, dilatancy, stresses, strains, and deformation are different from their elasto-plastic boundary values as compared to the tunnel boundary values. Besides, the analytical equations are developed for the elastic zone. The accuracy and application of the proposed method is demonstrated by a number of examples. The results present the effects of seepage body forces, gravitational loads and dilatancy angle on ground response curve appropriately.
