Abstract

A reliability analysis is performed to investigate the influence of the uncertainty from few in-situ samples and inherent heterogeneity of the ground on the probability of failure for a rock cut slope. The results are compared with those of deterministic slope stability analysis. The random variables used are unit weight of the rock, the angle of potential slope of failure, and cohesion and internal friction angle of joints. It was found that the rock slope in which the factor of safety satisfied the minimum safety factor in the deterministic analysis has high probability of failure in the reliability analysis when the weak geological strata are involved in the cut slope. The probability of failure of rock slope is most sensitive to the mean and standard deviation of cohesion in rock joint among the random soil parameters included in the reliability analysis. Sensitivities of the mean values are larger than those of standard deviations, which means that accurate estimation of the mean for the in-situ geotechnical properties is important.

본 논문에서는 암반사면의 절토시 현장지반 시추조사의 불충분한 자료와 비균질한 지반특성에서 오는 불확실성이 암사면의 파괴확률에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 신뢰성해석을 실시하였고 이를 확정론적 해석결과와 비교하였다. 해석에 사용된 확률변수는 절리면의 점착력과 마찰각, 암반의 단위중량 이었으며 절리면의 경사각은 확률변수로 적용한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우로 나누어 해석하였다. 해석 결과 대상 절토사면의 경우 확정론적 해석시 안정하게 나타남에도 신뢰도 해석에서는 연약 지질층의 영향에 의한 높은 불명확성으로 인하여 높은 파괴확률을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 각 확률변수의 평균값과 분산에 대한 파괴확률의 민감도는 점착력이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며 평균값이 미치는 민감도가 분산의 경우보다 크게 나타나 현장 지반물성치들에 대한 평균값의 정확한 산출이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
