Abstract

Three-hinge failure occurs in a jointed rock slope with a joint set parallel with slope and a conjugate joint set. Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) which are commonly used for slope design, are not suitable for evaluating stability against three-hinge failure, and this study performed parametric study to analyze the failure mechanism and to find influence factors causing three-hinge failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM based numerical program. Numerical analyses were performed for various joint structural conditions and joint properties as well as ground water conditions. It was found that pore water pressure is the main factor triggering the three-hinge failure and the mode of failure depends on friction angle of basal joint and bedding joint set. The results obtained from this study can be used for adequate and economic footwall slope reinforcement design and construction.

3힌지파괴(three-hinge failure)는 비탈면 방향과 평행한 절리와 그에 직교하는 절리로 구성된 암반비탈면에서 발생한 다. 비탈면 설계 시 일반적으로 쓰이는 한계평형법과 유한요소법은 이러한 암반비탈면 내 3힌지파괴를 모사하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3힌지파괴를 모사하기 위해 2차원 DEM 해석프로그램인 UDEC을 이용하여 풋월 비탈면에서 흔히 발생되는 3힌지파괴의 메커니즘 및 안정성에 미치는 영향 인자에 대하여 매개변수 분석을 연구하였다. 매개변수 분석은 암반절리(층면절리, 공액절리 등)의 구조 및 지하수위 조건 등을 변경하여 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과, 3힌지파괴를 유발하는 인자 중 지하수위의 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 층면절리 및 기저부절 리의 마찰각 변화에 따라 안전율과 파괴 형태가 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 비탈면 보강을 포함한 풋월 비탈면의 최적설계 및 시공에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
