Abstract

To provide the basic information about slope stability analysis, tensile force and strength of tree roots like Pinus koraiensis, Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica, and Alnus japonica were measured and analyzed. As a result, tensile force increases in forms of involution of root diameter. The mean tensile strength of roots like P. koraiensis, L. leptolepis, P. densiflora, A. japonica and Q. mongolica were calculated as $165.38kgf/cm^2$, $172.78kgf/cm^2$, $176.25kgf/cm^2$, $214.29kgf/cm^2$ and $224.19kgf/cm^2$ respectively. It was shown that tensile strength decreasing tendency as root diameter increases. Also, recalculated soil shear strength by tensile strength of the roots like P. koraiensis, L. leptolepis, P. densiflora, A. japonica and Q. mongolica were $0.099kgf/cm^2$, $0.104kgf/cm^2$, $0.106kgf/cm^2$, $0.129kgf/cm^2$ and $0.135kgf/cm^2$ respectively.

본 연구는 사면안정해석에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 잣나무, 낙엽송, 소나무, 신갈나무, 오리나무를 대상으로 교목류 뿌리의 인장력 및 인장강도를 측정 분석하였다. 그 결과 인장력은 대부분 뿌리 직경의 거듭제곱의 형태로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 뿌리의 평균 인장강도는 잣나무 $165.38kgf/cm^2$, 낙엽송 $172.78kgf/cm^2$, 소나무 $176.25kgf/cm^2$, 오리나무 $214.29kgf/cm^2$, 신갈나무 $224.19kgf/cm^2$로 나타났으며, 뿌리의 직경이 커질수록 인장강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 측정 분석된 인장강도를 기초자료로 토양의 전단강도 증가값을 산출한 결과 잣나무 $0.099kgf/cm^2$, 낙엽송 $0.104kgf/cm^2$, 소나무 $0.106kgf/cm^2$, 오리나무 $0.129kgf/cm^2$, 신갈나무 $0.135kgf/cm^2$인 것으로 나타났다.
