In this study, an aging deformation statistical model for a unique high and steep rock slope was proposed, and the aging characteristic of the slope deformation was better reflected. The slope displacement was affected by multiple-environmental factors in multiple scales and displayed the same tendency with a rising water level. The statistical model of the high and steep rock including non-aging factors was set up based on previous analyses and the study of the deformation and residual tendency. The rule and importance of the water level factor as a non-aging unit was analyzed. A partitioned statistical model and mutation model were established for the comprehensive cumulative displacement velocity with the monitoring study under multiple factors and multiple parameters. A spatial model was also developed to reflect and predict the whole and sectional deformation character by combining aging, deformation and space coordinates. A neural network model was built to fit and predict the deformation with a high degree of precision by mastering its feature of complexity and randomness. A three-dimensional finite element model of the slope was applied to approach the structure character using numerical simulations. Further, a three-dimensional finite element model of the slope and dam was developed, and the whole deformation state was analyzed. This study is expected to provide a powerful and systematic method to analyze very high, important and dangerous slopes.

On the basis of the geological conditions of high and steep mountainous slope on which an exit portal of an express railway tunnel with a bridge-tunnel combination is to be built, the composite structure of the exit portal with a bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination is presented and the stability of the slope on which the express railway portal is to be built is analyzed using three dimensional (3D) numerical simulation in the paper. Comparison of the practicability for the reinforcement of slope with in-situ bored piles and diaphragm walls are performed so as to enhance the stability of the high and steep slope. The safety factor of the slope due to rockmass excavation both inside the exit portal and beneath the bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination has been also derived using strength reduction technique. The obtained results show that post tunnel portal is a preferred structure to fit high and steep slope, and the surrounding rock around the exit portal of the tunnel on the high and steep mountainous slope remains stable when rockmass is excavated both from the inside of the exit portal and underneath the bridge abutment after the slope is reinforced with both bored piles and diaphragm walls. The stability of the high and steep slope is principally dominated by the shear stress state of the rockmass at the toe of the slope; the procedure of excavating rockmass in the foundation pit of the bridge abutment does not obviously affect the slope stability. In-situ bored piles are more effective in controlling the deformation of the abutment foundation pit in comparison with diaphragm walls and are used as a preferred retaining structure to uphold the stability of slope in respect of the lesser time, easier procedure and lower cost in the construction of the exit portal with bridge-tunnel combination on the high and steep mountainous slope. The results obtained from the numerical analysis in the paper can be used to guide the structural design and construction of express railway tunnel portal with bridge-tunnel combination on high and abrupt mountainous slope under similar situations.

To examine saturation characteristics of an unsaturated soil in the steep slope area with collapse, it separated dry season from rainy season and measured water content and permeability, and measured permeability by using a tension infiltrometer in the site. In addition, it conducted electrical resistivity survey to look into thickness of ground and geological structure of underground. The collapsed slope increased depth of weathered zone compared to upper slope, and there electrical resistivity anomalous zone caused by the filtrated underground water was observed. The permeability of the collapsed area was observed high compared to upper and lower slopes of retarding basin without collapse, and the permeability measured by dividing the dry season and rainy season was measured high in case of dry season.

There are human casualties that caused by slope-stability related disasters such as landslide and debris flow during typhoon and rainy season every year in Korea. These disaster sites can be analyzed systematically using digital topographic data and aerial photogrammetry. In this study, geographical factors such as slope degree, geology, height, and soil depth are analyzed in four landslide-disaster sites from Muju, Jinan, and Jangsu County based on digital elevation maps generated by ArcGIS. Each site showed different characteristics in geology and geography and it is found that GIS can be utilized for the visualization of steep-slope failure areas.

암반으로 구성되어 있는 급경사($65{\sim}80^{\circ}$) 암반사면들이 장기간 안정한 상태로 유지되고 있는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 이와 유사한 지반상태로 이루어진 굴착 암반사면에서 불연속구조가 비탈면의 안정성에 유리한 방향으로 분포하고 있는 경우에는 발파암 경사기준인 1 : 0.5 ($63^{\circ}$)보다 급한 경사를 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 비탈면 설계기준의 경사 결정 과정에서 급경사로 적용할 수 있는 예비 암반조건이 정량적으로 설정되어 있으면 설계 실무측면에서 지침으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구에서는 상기 암반을 양호한 연속체 암반으로 정의하고, 양호한 연속체 암반조건에 대해 공학적인 준거를 제공할 목적으로 범용적인 RMR, SMR, GSI 분류를 활용하여 정량적인 설정기준 범위를 제안하고자 하였다. 연구방법으로는 다음과 같다. 암석종류별로 급경사 $65{\sim}80^{\circ}$)에서 안정한 비탈면을 연구 대상으로 선정하고, Face mapping 결과를 반영하여 RMR과 SMR 및 GSI 분류하였다. Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 활용하여 산정된 강도정수를 현 상태의 암반사면 안정해석에 적용하여 나타난 결과를 검토하였다. 급경사로 안정하게 유지되는 지반조건으로서 예비기준의 타당성을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 상기 연구방법으로 분석 검토한 결과, 양호한 연속체 암반비탈면은 Basic RMR ${\geq}50$ (퇴적암에서는 45), GSI SMR ${\geq}45$로 설정할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 한계평형 해석의 안전율은 Fs = 14.08~67.50 (평균 32.9)이고, 유한요소해석의 변위는 0.13~0.64 mm (평균 0.27 mm)이다. 이는 급경사($65{\sim}80^{\circ}$)로 오랜 기간 동안 안정하게 유지되고 있는 양호한 연속체 암반사면의 안정성을 정량적으로 표현하고 확인하는 결과로 볼 수 있다. 양호한 연속체 암반사면에 대한 암반기준 설정범위는 자료가 축적되면 좀 더 세부적인 설정기준을 확립할 수 있을 것이고 추후 연구과제이기도 하다. 1 : 0.1~0.3의 급경사에서도 안정할 경우에, 해외 설계기준 및 사례를 참고하여 급경사의 상한 기준을 1 : 0.3으로 설계하면 경제성과 친환경성을 확보하는 이점이 있게 된다. 또한 굴착기술과 식생기술 발달 및 다양한 친환경적 사면 설계기법으로 급경사에 따른 심리적 불안감과 급격한 지반이완을 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

A rainfall induced slope failure is a common natural hazard in mountainous areas worldwide. Sudden and rapid failures which have a high possibility of occurrence in a steep slope are always the most dangerous due to their suddenness and high velocities. Based on a series of experiments this study aimed to determine a critical angle which could be considered as an approximate threshold for a sudden failure. The experiments were performed using 0.42 mm mean grain size sand in a 200 cm long, 60 cm wide and 50 cm deep rectangular flume. A numerical model was created by integrating a 2D seepage flow model and a 2D slope stability analysis model to predict the failure surface and the time of occurrence. The results showed that, the failure mode for the entire material will be sudden for slopes greater than $67^{\circ}$; in contrast the failure mode becomes retrogressive. There is no clear link between the degree of saturation and the mode of failure. The simulation results in considering matric suction showed good matching with the results obtained from experiment. A subsequent discarding of the matric suction effect in calculating safety factors will result in a deeper predicted failure surface and an incorrect predicted time of occurrence.

The slope of the road in the forest area has a characteristic of steep slope, so natural disasters such as slope collapse occur. The slope displacement observation technique according to landslide is being studied as a method to observe a wide area and a method to observe a small area. This is a study on high-precision digital map generation using ground LiDAR. It is possible to create a high - precision digital map by minimizing the US side using the 3D LiDAR in the steep slope area where the GPS and Total Station measurement are difficult in the maintenance of the danger slope area. It is difficult to objectively evaluate whether the contour lines generated by LiDAR are correct and it is considered necessary to construct a test bed for this purpose. Based on this study, if terrain changes such as landslides occur in the future, it will be useful for measuring slope displacement.

In Korea, there exist many mountains, and sudden storms occur during the summer season. When severe rainstorm events occur in steep slope topography, risk of debris flow is increased. Once debris flow occurs in urban area, it may cause casualties and physical damages due to rapid debris flow velocity along a steep slope. Accordingly, preventing method of sediment-related disaster for demage mitigation are essential. Recently, various studies on debris flow have been conducted. However, the prediction of the physical propagation of debris flow along the steep slope was not thoroughly investigated. Debris flow is characterized by various factors such as topography, properties of debris flow, amount of debris flow. In the study the numerical simulation was focused on the topographic factor. Fundamental analysis of the risk area was implemented with emphasis on the propagation length, thickness, and the development of maximum velocity. The proposed results and the methodology of estimating the structural vulnerability would be helpful in predicting the behavior and the risk assessment of debris flow in urban area. These results will be able to estimate the vulnerability of urban areas affected the most damage by debris flow.

The optical triangulation method has been used as a non-contact measuring method of three dimensional object whape. But this measuring method has narrow measuring range, non-linearity on steep slope surface and shadow effect. In this study, we discussed a new optical measurement method to overcome these kinds of demerits. The advantage of this new method is that it is possible to measure precisely the object shape having the steep slope surface without shadow effect. As exper- imental results, maximum displacement error was 200 .mu. m over the whole measuring when the incident angle on the object surface was within 60 degree.
