Abstract

Slope stability is affected by duration of precipitation, probable rainfall intensity, unsaturated soil property, and soil strength. The recent analyses of slope stability tend to include unsaturated analysis based on infiltration properties of soil, while researches of unsaturated soil slope tend to include the analysis of deformation and stress distribution of soil over time. However, infiltration property of unsaturated soil slope depends not only on intensity or duration of precipitation, but also on relief and surface condition, which is not considered in status quo. This research uses hydrologic model parameters of soil in order to consider effects of inclination on filtration, and carries out analysis of unsaturated soil slope to confirm the effects according to slope inclination and surface condition. In conclusion, using slope stability analysis, the need to consider infiltration rate according to inclination and surface condition was confirmed even under the same precipitation conditions.

비탈면의 안정성은 강우지속시간, 확률강우강도, 지반의 불포화특성, 지반강도 등에 의해 영향을 받는다. 최근 비탈면안정성 해석은 지반의 침투특성을 고려한 불포화해석을 수행하고 있으며, 불포화 토사비탈면에 대한 연구는 시간변화에 따라 지반의 변형과 응력분포해석을 고려할 수 있도록 하는 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이와는 별개로 불포화사면의 침투특성은 강우강도나 지속시간 뿐만 아니라 비탈면의 지형여건과 녹화상태에 따라서도 침투정도가 다르지만, 이에 대한 영향은 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비탈면경사 및 표면상태에 따른 침투를 고려하기 위하여 토양의 수리특성을 고려한 모형을 사용하고, 토사비탈면에 대한 불포화해석을 수행하여 비탈면 경사에 따른 영향을 파악하였다. 연구결과 비탈면 안정해석시 동일한 강우조건 하에서도 비탈면경사에 따른 침투율이 고려되어야 할 필요성을 제시하였다.
