A Case Study on Geomorphological Characteristicsof Cut Slope Failure in Soksil District, Korea

摘要

The Roads in Gangwon Province generally was made on purposeto use the military road. In case of these roads, tremendous dangerous cut slopesdo exist and its road linear shape was badly designed. In order to improve thissituation, Korea government has continuously established the new road orperformed the public works such as the straight line of the curved road. Soksil cutslope was made through the road improvement work. This has small surfacefailures and collapses. In spite of dry season, this slope is leaking lots ofgroundwater at the particular point. So as to understand curious phenomenon,potential factors which lead to the collapse of slope were analyzed and soilcondition of surrounding soil were investigated to determine the factors that affectthe slope stability. The most appropriate remedial measure was selected andrecommended based on the type of failure, field condition, economic feasibilityand other pertinent factors.
