Abstract

Generally, a modified version of limit equilibrium method can be used to evaluate a slope stability of the geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes. In most cases, resisting effects of geosynthetic reinforcement are dealt with considering an increased shear strength on the potential slip surface. However, it is not clear that the methods satisfy all three equilibrium equations. As we know, the pattern of normal stress distribution along the slip surface is the key factor in calculating the safety factor of slopes. In this study, the new slope stability analysis method in which not only reinforcing effects of geosynthetics can be considered but also all three equilibrium equations can be satisfied was proposed with assuming the normal stress distribution along the slip surface as quadratic curve with horizontal $\chi-coordinate$. A number of illustrative examples, including published slope stability analysis examples for the reinforced and unreinforced soil slopes, loading test of large scale reinforced earth wall and centrifuge model tests on the geotextile reinforced soil slopes, were analyzed. As a result, it is shown that the newly suggested method yields a relatively accurate factor of safety for the reinforced and unreinforced soil slopes.

토목섬유로 보강된 성토사면에 대한 사면안정해석은 보강재의 효과를 고려하여 수정된 한계평형해석법을 사용하는 것이 일반적이나, 대부분의 경우 보강재에 의하여 활동면상에 증가된 전단저항력만을 고려함으로써 전체 활동토체의 평형조건의 만족여부는 확실치 않다. 일반적으로 사면안정해석은 활동면상의 법선응력의 분포를 구하는 것으로 귀결 되므로, 본 연구에서는 활동면상에 작용하는 법선응력의 분포를 수평방향의 거리 $\chi$에 대한 2차함수로 가정하여 보강재의 효과를 고려하면서 힘과 모멘트의 평형조건을 모두 만족하는 새로운 사면안정해석법을 제안하였다. 제안된 사면 안정해석법은 잘 알려진 보강 및 무보강 사면에 대한 사면안정해석 사례와 보강토 옹벽 및 보강사면에 대한 모형실험 결과에 대한 해석을 통하여 그 타당성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 방법은 보강 및 무보강사면에 대하여 타당한 사면활동에 대한 안전율을 제공해주는 것으로 나타났다.
