동토지반에서 종방향 및 횡방향 사면의 경사에 따른 트렌치 안전성 분석

초록

In this study, the stability of trench slope was analysed in summer and winter seasons for the construction of pipelines in permafrost regions. The construction standards of Korea, Russia and UK were compared for obtaining an optimum trench shape for a pipeline of 30 in. diameter. Using the geotechnical properties of soil in Yakutsk (Russia), the stability of trench slope was analysed using Strength Reduction Method (SRM) according to the horizontal slope angle values of 0ﾟ, 10ﾟ, 20ﾟ and 30ﾟ and vertical slope angle values of 20ﾟ, 30ﾟ and 40ﾟ. In both seasons, an increase in the slope angle results in a decrease in the factor of safety. The results show that horizontal slope angle of 30ﾟ was not safe in summer season. At the vertical slope angle of 20ﾟ, trench side failure was observed, whereas, ground slope failure was observed at the vertical slope angles of 30ﾟ and 40ﾟ. Due to the solidification of pore water at temperatures below 0ﾟC, cementation of soil particles take place. Therefore, the trench slope was found to be stable in the winter season at all vertical and horizontal slop angles, except for special load cases and abrupt temperature changes.
