In this paper, stabilities of a plane slide rock slope under different hydraulic distributions were studied based on the nonlinear Barton-Bandis (B-B) failure criterion. The influence of various parameters on the stability of rock slopes was analyzed. Parametric analysis indicated that studying the factor of safety (FS) of planar slide rock slopes using the B-B failure criterion is both simple and effective and that the effects of the basic friction angle of the joint (${\varphi}_b$), the joint roughness coefficient (JRC), and the joint compressive strength (JCS) on the FS of a planar slide rock slope are significant. Qualitatively, the influence of the JCS on the FS of a slope is small, whereas the influences of the ${\varphi}_b$ and the JRC are significant. The FS of the rock slope decreases as the water in a tension crack becomes deeper. This trend is more significant when the flow outlet is blocked, a situation that is particularly prevalent in regions with permafrost or seasonal frozen soil. Finally, the work is extended to study the reliability of the slope against plane failure according to the uncertainty from physical and mechanics parameters.

Estimation of slope stability is a very important task in geotechnical engineering. However, its estimation using conventional and soft computing methods has several drawbacks. Use of conventional limit equilibrium methods for the evaluation of slope stability is very tedious and time consuming, while the use of soft computing approaches like Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic are black box approaches. Multiple Regression (MR) analysis provides an alternative to conventional and soft computing methods, for the evaluation of slope stability. MR models provide a simplified equation, which can be used to calculate critical factor of safety of slopes without adopting any iterative procedure, thereby reducing the time and complexity involved in the evaluation of slope stability. In the present study, a multiple regression model has been developed and tested its accuracy in the estimation of slope stability using real field data. Here, two separate multiple regression models have been developed for dry and wet slopes. Further, the accuracy of these developed models have been compared and validated with respect to conventional limit equilibrium methods in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE) & Coefficient of determination ($R^2$). As the developed MR models here are not based on any region specific data and covers wide range of parametric variations, they can be directly applied to any real slopes.

The seismic slope stability is most often evaluated by the pseudo-static limit analysis, in which the earthquake loading is simplified as static inertial loads acting in horizontal and/or vertical directions. The transient loading is represented by constant acceleration via the pseudostatic coefficients. The result of a pseudostatic analysis is governed by the selection of the value of the pseudostatic coefficient. However, selection of the value is very difficult and often done in an ad hoc manner without a sound physical reasoning. In addition, the maximum acceleration is commonly estimated from the design guideline, which cannot accurately estimate the dynamic response of a slope. There is a need to perform a 2D dynamic analysis to properly define the dynamic response characteristics. This paper develops the modified one-dimensional seismic site response analysis. The modified site response analysis adjusts the density of the layers to simulate the change in mass and weight of the layers of the slope with depth. Multiple analyses are performed at various locations within the slope to estimate the change in seismic response of the slope. The calculated peak acceleration profiles with depth from the developed procedure are compared to those by the two-dimensional analyses. Comparisons show that the two methods result in remarkable match.

Based on the data obtained from field investigation and soil testing to slope hazards occurrence section and non-occurrence section in crystalline rocks like gneiss, granite, and so on, a prediction model was developed by the use of a decision tree model. The classification standard of the selected prediction model is composed of the slope angle, the coefficient of permeability and the void ratio in the order. The computer program, SHAPP ver. 1.0 for prediction of slope hazards around an important national facilities using GIS technique and the developed model. To prove the developed prediction model and the computer program, the field data surveyed from Jumunjin, Gangneung city were compared with the prediction result in the same site. As the result of comparison, the real occurrence location of slope hazards was similar to the predicted section. Through the continuous study, the accuracy about prediction result of slope hazards will be upgraded and the computer program will be commonly used in practical.

Buildings with mono-sloped roofs are used for different purposes like at railway platforms, restaurants, industrial buildings, etc. Between two types of mono-slope roofs, clad and unclad, unclad canopy types are more vulnerable to wind load as wind produces pressure on both upper and lower surfaces of the roof, resulting in uplifting of the roof surface. This paper discusses the provisions of wind loads in different codes and standards for Low-rise buildings. Further, the pressure coefficients on mono-slope canopy roof available in wind code and standards are compared. Previous experimental studies for mono-slope canopy roof along with the recent wind tunnel testing carried out at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee is briefly discussed and compared with the available wind codes. From the study it can further be asserted that the information available related to staging or blocking under the mono-slope canopy roofs is limited. This paper is an attempt to put together the available information in different wind codes/standards and the research works carried out by different researchers, along with shedding some light on the future scopes of research on mono-slope canopy roofs.

사면 안정해석은 현장 조사로부터 얻어지는 지반강도 정수의 역할이 매우 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 사면안정성 분석에서 입력변수들에 대한 상대적인 평가를 위하여 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 설정된 입력 변수들은 사면의 경사, 점착력, 내부마찰각의 3가지 종류로 선별하였다. 사면안정해석은 기본적으로 한계평형으로 해석하였으며 수집된 현장자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 확률변수들은 정규분포를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 입력변수들을 발생시켰으며 붕괴된 암반사면을 이용하여 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 암반사면의 안전율은 예상보다 낮게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 민감도 분석 지수(PCC)를 이용하여 분석한 결과 사면 안전율에는, 점착력과 사면 경사가 매우 민감한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 내부마찰각은 상대적으로 낮은 민감성을 띠는 것으로 분석되었다.

현재까지 사면의 안정해석은 거의 결정론적 방법에 의해서 도호사면을 대상으로 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 실제적으로 사면의 파괴형상은 대수나선, 복합직선, 정원형, Cycloid기선 등의 다양 한 형태를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 지하수위를 고려한 기류한 사면의 파괴형상을 대수나선으로 하고 하중과 흙의 강침정수의 확률변수분포를 정규분포, 대수정규분포 및 베타분포로 가정하여 사면의 파괴확률을 구했다. 그치고 사면안정설계에 이용되고 있는 안전률과 파괴확률과의 관계를 분석하여 허용안전률에 대한 신잡실를 판단하기 위하여 수행되었다. 그 결과로 동일한 안전률에 대해서 변리계수가 증가함에 따라서 파괴확률이 증가하므로 사면설계에 있어서 안전률보다 파괴덕률을 이용하는 것이 합리적이라고 생각된다. 또한 허용안전률은 현장 조건을 고려하여 결정하는 것보다는 강도정수의 변리계수에 의하여 결정하는 것이 더 타당하다고 판단된다.

Parameters associated with solar minimum have been studied to relate them to solar activity at solar maximum so that one could possibly predict behaviors of an upcoming solar cycle. The number of active days has been known as a reliable indicator of solar activity around solar minimum. Active days are days with sunspots reported on the solar disk. In this work, we have explored the relationship between the sunspot numbers at solar maximum and the characteristics of the monthly number of active days. Specifically, we have statistically examined how the maximum monthly sunspot number of a given solar cycle is correlated with the slope of the linear relationship between monthly sunspot numbers and the monthly number of active days for the corresponding solar cycle. We have calculated the linear correlation coefficient r and the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient $r_s$ for data sets prepared under various conditions. Even though marginal correlations are found, they turn out to be insufficiently significant (r ~ 0.3). Nonetheless, we have confirmed that the slope of the linear relationship between monthly sunspot numbers and the monthly number of active days is less steep when solar cycles belonging to the "Modern Maximum" are considered compared with rests of solar cycles. We conclude, therefore, that the slope of the linear relationship between monthly sunspot numbers and the monthly number of active days is indeed dependent on the solar activity at its maxima, but that this simple relationship should be insufficient as a valid method to predict the following solar activity amplitude.

철도터널의 방재시설 계획 시 터널의 안전성을 정량적 위험도 평가에 의해서 정량화하여 방재시설의 적정성 여부를 판단하도록 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 터널화재에 대한 정량적 위험도 평가 시 결과에 크게 영향을 미치는 화재열차의 터널 내 정차확률을 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해서 열차의 주행저항계수를 고려하여 타력운전거리를 계산하기 위한 모델을 개발하였으며, 타력운전특성과 비상제동거리를 고려하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 기법에 의해 터널연장 및 경사도, 초기주행속도를 변수로 하여 화재열차가 터널에 정차할 확률을 예측하였다. 타력운전거리의 예측을 위한 운동방정식은 KTX II의 주행저항계수를 반영하여 분석하였다. KTX II 열차의 경우, 타력운전거리는 상향경사의 터널에서는 경사도가 증가할수록 감소하나 하향경사구간에서는 정지하지 않고 계속하여 주행이 가능하다. 화재열차의 터널 내 정차확률은 열차의 주행속도가 증가할수록, 경사도가 낮을수록 감소하며, 고속열차(주행속도 250 km/h 이상)는 인적오류를 고려하지 않는 경우, 경사도 0.5% 이하의 터널에서는 화재 시 열차가 터널에 정차할 확률은 0%이고, 경사도가 증가하고 터널연장이 증가하면 정차확률은 급격하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
