강우침투를 고려한 철도 연변사면의 안정성 해석

Abstract

Slope failure triggered by rainfall produces severe effects on the serviceability and stability of railway. Therefore slope stability problem is one of the major concerns on the operation of railway. In this study we collected rainfall data when and where slope failures were observed. The collected data show that the range of cumulative rainfall is from 150 to 500mm and the rainfall duration is about 3 to 24 hours. By using the collected rainfall information, slope stability analysis considering infiltration was carried. The analyses employs multiple sliding surfaces to find the minimal factor of safety in the infinite slope condition. This approach show more reasonable results than the results from analysis following the design code which assumes that groundwater level and the slope surface are equal.
