Infiltration of rainfall causes railway embankment to be unstable and may result in failure. Basic relationship between the rainfall and stability of railway embankment is defined to analyze the stability of embankment by rainfall. An experimental study for defining of infiltration rate of rainfall into slope is conducted in the lab. The results of Rainfall Infiltration show that rainfall Infiltration is not equal to infiltration as like reservoir because rate of rainfall infiltration is controlled by slope angle. Based on these results, boundary condition of rainfall is altered and various numerical analysis are performed. The variation of shear strength, the degree of saturation and pore-water pressure for railway slope during rainfall can be predicted and the safety factor of railway slope can be expressed as the function of rainfall amount, namely rainfall index. Therefore, it is judged that this rainfall index can be a good tool for the rail-transport operation control.

Korea High-Speed Railway has various safety systems to secure safe and stable transportation and makes assurance doubly sure to minimize casualty and property damage caused by natural disasters. But, there is no regulation that reflects domestic railway line, climate, topographical and geological characteristic in introducing the foreign regulations yet. Therefore, it is necessary for us to modify a regulation which is suitable to domestic high-speed railway. In this study, it is possible to establish more reasonable boundary rainfall by grasping and improving the troubles with existing boundary rainfall that is scheduled to be utilized for high-speed rail-transport operation control under rainfall. Also, it is possible to insure the safety of train by four steps such as 'normal operation', 'warning issue', 'train speed control' and 'train stop' using the established boundary rainfall. It will go far toward minimizing the occurrence of natural disasters.

최근 우리나라는 지구온난화에 따른 엘니뇨, 라니뇨등 세계적인 이상기후에 의한 국지성 호우가 매년 다발하고 있으며, 이에 따른 철도선로피해도 기상상황 악화와 동반하여 증가 추세에 있다. 또한 국내에서 자주 발생하는 대표적인 재해 원인으로는 태풍을 들 수 있는데 이와 같은 태풍은 매년 7월에서 8월 사이에 우리나라를 관통하면서 막대한 피해를 유발시킨다. 특히 2002년 8월 31일부터 9월 1일까지 한반도를 관통한 제15호 태풍 루사(RUSA)는 약 이틀동안 최대시간강우량 101mm/hr, 총 강우량 898mm의 사상유례 없는 강우와 강풍을 동반하며, 도로ㆍ철도ㆍ농경지ㆍ가옥 등 국내 전 기반시설에 대하여 막대한 피해를 입혔다. 특히 철도의 경우 총48개소의 피해지역이 발생하였으며, 이로 인한 복구비용만도 약 1,472억원 정도로 추정하고 있다.

There are a close relationship between natural disasters and train safety. So it is very important to guaranty train safety using reasonable rail-transport operation control against disasters. Therefore, based on the past record of rainfall at failure, rail-transport operation control for railway embankment under rainfall was set up. After slope check list at home and abroad had been analyzed, new slope check list was suggested and site investigations were carried out using this check list. In order to evaluate the stability of railway slopes under rainfall, explanatory variables and subordinate variables were selected for multi-variate analysis and critical rainfall was defined by statistical process. Rail-transport operation control including regional and geological properties was suggested by analyzing the critical rainfall and rail-transport operation control in other country, and this will be a good tool to control train speed under rainfall and to secure train safety.

And suggested rainfall index is compared with the rail transport operation control which is used in KORAIL. It is judged that this rainfall index can be a good tool for the rail-transport operation control.

최근 세계적인 기상이변으로 인한 재해가 갈수록 증가되고 있으며, 지구 온난화 등 이상기온에 따른 국지성 호우의 발생이 증가함에 따라 이러한 기상이변에 대한 철도재해를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 체계화된 방재시스템 구축이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 철도재해 발생시 경고체계와 우회로 부재에 따른 막대한 경제적 손실이 예상되고 있으므로 강우, 지진 등에 의한 재해 위험에 대해 실질적인 감시관리시스템과 운전규제기준의 재정립이 필요한 실정이다. 특히 국내에서 자주 발생하는 대표적인 재해원인으로는 태풍을 들 수 있는데 작년 8월 우리나라를 관통한 태풍 루사(RUSA)의 경우 일 최다 강우량 870.5mm, 1시간 최다강우량100.5mm를 기록하며, 총 48개소의 철도피해지역과 이로 인한 복구비용은 약 1,472억원 정도로 추정되었고, 경부선 등 전국 8개노선 48개소의 열차운행이 일시 중단된 바 있다.
