Abstract

In this study, rainfall-induced slope stability and coupling effect are investigated using hydro-mechanical finite element model. This model is developed by formulating constitutive and coupled balance equations and is verified by comparing the numerical results with field matric suction. The homogeneous soil layer (soil column) and soil slope are modeled by this model, and the results of variation in matric suction, mean effective stress, porosity, displacement, factor of safety are compared with those of staggered analysis. It is found that the vertical and horizontal displacement from coupling analysis considering change in porosity is larger than that of staggered analysis. The displacement and matric suction from coupling analysis by rainfall infiltration can affect slope instability, which shows a progressive failure behavior. The lowest factor of safety is observed under short-term rainfall. This results confirm the fact that coupling analysis is needed to design soil slope under severe rain condition.

본 연구에서는 수리-역학적 유한요소 해석기법을 바탕으로 강우침투에 의한 비탈면 안정성과 커플링 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 수리학적 특성과 역학적 특성을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 해석기법을 개발 하였으며, 현장모관흡수력 측정 결과를 활용하여 해석기법을 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 균질한 지층과 비탈면을 모델링 하여 강우발생에 따른 모관흡수력 변화, 평균유효응력, 간극률 변화, 지반 변위, 안전율의 결과를 단계별 해석결과와 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 간극률의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 커플링 해석의 변위는 단계별 해석에 비해 크게 나타났으며, 모관흡수력은 천천히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 커플링 해석을 통해 동시에 계산된 변형과 모관흡수력 감소는 비탈면의 불안정성에 큰 영향을 미치며, 점진적 파괴거동을 확인할 수 있다. 커플링 해석을 통한 비탈면 안정해석 시, 단기간 발생한 강우에 대해 낮은 안전율을 보여 커플링 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 집중호우에 의한 비탈면 설계 시 커플링 해석이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
