Temperature variation according to space and time on the inner parts of engineering constructions(e.g.: dam, slope) can be a basic information for diagnosing their safety problem. In general, as constructions become superannuated, structural deformation(e.g.: cracks, defects) could be occurred by various factors. Seepage or leakage of water through these cracks or defects in old dams will directly cause temperature anomaly. Groundwater level also can be easily observed by abrupt change of temperature on the level. This study shows that the position of seepage or leakage in dam body can be detected by multi-channel temperature monitoring using thermal line sensor. For this, diverse temperature monitoring experiments for a leakage physical model were performed in the laboratory. In field application of an old earth fill dam, temperature variations for water depth and for inner parts of boreholes located at downstream slope were measured. Temperature monitoring results for a long time at the bottom of downstream slope of the dam showed the possibility that temperature monitoring can provide the synthetic information about flowing path and quantity of seepage of leakage in dam body.

Heavy storms rainfall has caused many landslides and slope failures especially in the mountainous area of the world. Landslides and slope failures are common geologic hazards and posed serious threats and globally cause billions in monetary losses and thousands of casualies each year so that studies on slope stability and its failure mechanism under rainfall are being increasing attention of these days. Rainfall-induced slope failures are generally caused by the rise in ground water level, and increase in pore water pressures and seepage forces during periods of intense rainfall. The effective stress in the soil will be decreased due to the increased pore pressure, which thus reduces the soil shear strength, eventually resulting in slope failure. During the rainfall, a wetting front goes downward into the slope, resulting in a gradual increase of the water content and a decrease of the negative pore-water pressure. This negative pore-water pressure is referred to as matric suction when referenced to the pore air pressure that contributes to the stability of unsaturated soil slopes. Therefore, the importance is the study of saturated unsaturated soil behaviors in evaluation of slope stability under heavy rainfall condition. In an actual field, a series of failures may occur in a slope due to a rainfall event. So, this study attempts to develop a numerical model to investigate this failure mechanism. A two-dimensional seepage flow model coupled with a one-dimensional surface flow and erosion/deposition model is used for seepage analysis. It is necessary to identify either there is surface runoff produced or not in a soil slope during a rainfall event, while analyzing the seepage and stability of such slopes. Runoff produced by rainfall may result erosion/deposition process on the surface of the slope. The depth of runoff has vital role in the seepage process within the soil domain so that surface flow and erosion/deposition model computes the surface water head of the runoff produced by the rainfall, and erosion/deposition on the surface of the model slope. Pore water pressure and moisture content data obtained by the seepage flow model are then used to analyze the stability of the slope. Spencer method of slope stability analysis is incorporated into dynamic programming to locate the critical slip surface of a general slope.

This study was performed to investigate the minimum safety factor of embankment in consideration of seismic coefficient by the psuedo-static analysis The variables were cohesion, the internal friction angle, angle of slope, height of seepage, height of embankment, depth of replacement The results obtained were compared with those by Fellenius method, simplified Bishop method and Janbu method. The results were summarized as follows: 1.The increasing rate of the minimum safety factor with the increasing of cohesion appeared larger in Fellenius method and Bishop method than in Janbu method. And that with the increasing of the internal friction angle appeared the lowest value in Janbu method. The minimum safety factor was influenced larger on the internal friction angle than on cohesion. 2.The variation of the minimum safety factor with the height of seepage at 0m and 5 m was nearly similar to Fellenius method, Bishop method and Janbu method. On the other hand, it was decreased suddenly at 25 m. 3.The minimum safety factor with the height of embankment was decreased remarkably under 10 m with the increasing of seismic coefficient. But, it was decreased slowly more than 10 m. As the height of embankment was low, the influence of cohesion appeared larger. 4.In heigher case of the depth of replacement, the phenomenon of reduction of the minimum safety factor appeared remarkably with seismic coefficient increased. And in lower case of the depth of replacement, the minimum safety factor was similar in Fellenius method and Bishop mehtod. But it appeared larger in Bishop method and Janbu method than in Fellenius method with the depth of replacement increased. 5.As the cohesion and the internal friction angle were large, the phenomenon of reduction of the minimum safety factor with the increasing of seismic coefficient appeared remarkably. Also, the influence of seismic coefficient in minimum safety factor appeared larger with the soil parameter increased. 6.When the seismic coefficient was considerated, investigation of the structural body on the slope stability appeared profitably in Fellenius method and Janbu method than in Bishop method.

Face stability analyses provides the most probable failure mechanisms and the understanding about parameters that need to be considered for the evaluation of ground movements caused by tunneling. After the Upper Bound Method (UBM) solution which can consider the influence of seepage forces and depth-dependent effective cohesion is verified with the numerical experiments, the probabilistic model is proposed to calculate the unbiased limiting tunnel collapse pressure. A reliability analysis of a shallow circular tunnel driven by a pressurized shield in a frictional and cohesive soil is presented to consider the inherent uncertainty in the input parameters and the proposed model. The probability of failure that exceeding a specified applied pressure at the tunnel face is estimated. Sensitivity and importance measures are computed to identify the key parameters and random variables in the model.

The Kurobe river, which runs through eastern Toyama Prefecture is one of the most famous rivers for wild water because of its steep slope in the range from 1/5 to 1/120. This river forms an alluvial fan in the range up to 13 kilometers from the sea. In this region, significant seepage flow occurs and thus the stream sometimes been intermitted. Moreover, the amount of seepage flow seems to vary with the groundwater level of the region. To keep the river environment healthy for flora and fauna, especially to conserve good condition for spawning of fishes, an appropriate environmental flow should be maintained in the river. To achieve this target, controlling of the upstream reservoir has to be studied in depth. One of the major problems to decide the amount of water to be released from the reservoir to maintain the environmental flow is to estimate the amount of water leaked into the groundwater from the river. This phenomenon is affected by the river flow rate as well as the groundwater level in the alluvial fan and the conditions vary in space and time. Thus, a grid-based hydrological cycle analysis model NK-GHM has been applied to clarify the hydrological cycle componentsin this area including seepage/discharge from/to the river. The model was tested by comparing with river flow rate, groundwater levels and other observations and found that the model described those observations well. Consequently, the seepage from the Kurobe river was found significant but it was also found that the groundwater in this region has been preserved by the recharge from the irrigation water supply into paddy fields in the alluvial fan.

In this study, an overtopping model experiments and three dimensional seepage characteristics at the deteriorated homogeneous reservoirs were performed to investigate the behavior of failure for embankment and spillway transitional zone due to overtopping. The failure pattern, pore water pressure, earth pressure and settlement by overtopping were compared and analyzed. The pattern of the failure by overtopping was gradually enlarged towards reservoirs crest from the spillway transition zone at initial stage. In the rapid stage and peak stage, the width and depth of failure gradually increased, and the pattern of the failure appeared irregular and several direction of the erosion. In the early stage, the pore water pressure at spillway transitional zone was more affected as its variation and failure width increased. In the peak stage, the pore water pressure was significantly increased in all locations due to the influence of seepage. The earth pressure increased gradually according to overtopping stage. The pore pressure by the numerical analysis was larger than the experimental value, and the analysis was more likely to increase steadily without any apparent variation. The horizontal and vertical displacements were the largest at the toe of slope and at the top of the dam crest, respectively. The results of this displacement distribution can be applied as a basis for determining the position of reinforcement at the downstream slope and the crest. The collapse in the overtopping stage began with erosion of the most vulnerable parts of the dam crest, and the embankment was completely collapsed as the overtopping stage increased.

우리나라에 분포하는 산지 태양광 발전시설에 의해 강우시 사면파괴가 발생하고 있다. 이때 불투수면인 태양광 패널을 따라 흐르는 강우로 인해 침투 작용이 일반적인 사면과 달라 간극수압 분포가 차이를 보이며 태양광 구조물의 하중에 의해 지반 거동에 차이가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우시의 태양광 발전시설이 설치된 사면의 안정성 평가 방법을 개발하고, 최대 사면 변위 지점을 통해 취약지점을 분석하였다. 강우의 침투에 따른 안정성을 평가하고 거동을 예측하기 위해 침투해석과 유한차분법 수치해석을 연계하였다. 대상 현장에 대해서는 함수특성곡선 변수, Mohr-Coulomb 파괴 기준을 만족하는 강도 정수 및 지반 물성치, 사면의 각도와 기반암의 깊이 등의 지형적 인자를 가정하였으며 이들 중 안전율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해 검토하였다. 태양광 발전시설의 유무에 따라 침투 양상 및 안전율에 차이가 있으며 강우 침투에 따라 안전율이 감소하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 최대 변위 지점은 사면의 상단부와 하단부 인접 지점에 집중적으로 분포하였다.

The water leakage of reservoir embankment usually occurs through water vein, which gives little influence on the embankment in a normal state. However, the embankment can be destroyed when the water level of reservoir increases with heavy rain in summer. Investigating the water vein and its path is therefore very important from the viewpoint of disater prevention and embankment protection. This paper presents survey results of one-meter-depth ground temperature and multi-point temperature logging in an embankment in Japan to delineate water veins and permeable formations. Four water veins have been predicted in the embankment by comparing measured one-meter-depth ground temperatures with the background ones which have no effect of water vein. The multi-point temperature logging was carried out in the borehole drilled at one of the predicted water veins. Depth and thickness of the permeable formation in the borehole can be determined from temperature restoration ratios with elapsed time. From these results we can find that the water leakage of reservoir embankment mainly occurs in sandy soil formation in the embankment.

본 연구는 전라남도 장성군 일대의 석회암지대에서 강우로 인해 파괴된 절개사면을 대상으로 시료를 채취하여 물리적ㆍ역학적 특성을 파악하고 강우로 인한 사면 안정 해석을 통해 사면구배의 변화에 따른 안전율의 변화를 규명하였다. 연구지역 석회암 풍화토는 석영, 정장석, 깁사이트, 침철석 등으로 구성되어 있고 비중은 2.73, 통일분류상 SC에 해당되며 모암에서 풍화가 진행되면서 칼슘성분이 현저하게 감소하였다. 투수계 수는 2.56×10/sup -4/ cm/ sec 로서 실트 성 점토의 투수계수와 비슷한 값을 보였고 전단시험결과 불포화토에서 포화토로 변할수록 점착력은 3.0 t/㎡에서 0.72 t/㎡로 현저하게 줄어들며 내부마찰각 Φ 값도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 강우로 인한 사면안정 해석시 강우강도를 고려한 침투심도를 구하는 것이 합리적이며 사면안정해석결과 침투심도가 클수록 사면의 안전율은 낮아져서 불안정하게 되고 침윤선을 고려한 절토사면의 최소안전율 1.5와 비교 시 강우를 고려한 석회암 풍화토의 절토사면 구배는 1 ： 1.2이상 되어야 안전율을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 불포화토에서 포화토로 변할수록 점착력의 감소는 사면의 안전율감소에 많은 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

광미 적치사면에서 측정된 모니터링 결과와 현장조건을 고려한 수치해석결과를 이용하여 강우시 불포화 토층내 모관흡수력변화를 비교하고 이를 토대로 사면안정해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 계측기간 동안 강우강도가 가장 크게 발생된 기간(72시간)을 선정하고, 대상기간 동안의 모관흡수력과 강우자료를 분석하였다. 그리고 현장에서 측정된 강우자료를 적용하여 침투 및 사면안정해석을 수행하였다. 강우에 따른 사면내 침투거동을 해석하기 위하여 SEEP/W를 활용하고 사면내 침투깊이를 고려한 사면안정해석을 위하여 SLOPE/W를 활용하였다. 먼저 현장에서 측정된 강우자료를 적용하여 SEEP/W를 이용한 침투해석을 수행하였다. 침투해석으로 계산된 모관흡수력과 현장계측으로 측정된 모관흡수력을 비교한 결과 모관흡수력의 크기에서는 다소 차이가 있으나 시간에 따른 변화양상은 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 침투해석결과와 연동하여 SLOPE/W를 이용한 사면안정해석을 수행한 결과 강우강도가 급속하게 증가되는 시점에서 사면안전율은 크게 감소하였으며, 이후 강우가 발생되지 않는 경우 사면안전율이 회복되는 것으로 해석되었다.
