Abstract

본 연구에서는 수리구조물이 설치된 2층으로 이루어진 포화 기초지반에서의 구속흐름(confined flow)에 대하여 확률론적 침투해석을 수행하였다. 투수계수는 지반의 층상구조에 따라 명확한 변동성을 보일 뿐 아니라 각각의 층 내에서도 공간적인 변동성을 보인다. 따라서 기존의 결정론적 침투해석기법을 층상지반에서의 투수계수의 불확실성과 공간적 변동성을 고려할 수 있도록 확률론적 해석으로 확장하였다. 각 층에 지정된 입력 확률분포함수와 자기상관함수(autocorrelation function)를 따르는 2차원의 랜덤필드를 생성하기 위하여 Karhunen-Lo<TEX>$\grave{e}$</TEX>ve 전개법을 사용하였다. 제안된 절차의 적용성을 검토하고 수리구조물 하부의 2층 지반을 통한 흐름에 공간적 불균질성이 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 생성된 랜덤필드를 이용하여 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 해석결과는 층상지반에서의 침투거동 평가에서 지반의 층상구조와 지층내에서의 투수계수의 공간적 변동성에 의한 지반에서의 다양한 침투패턴을 확률론적 해석기법을 통하여 효율적으로 고려할 수 있음을 보여주었다. In this study, probabilistic analysis of seepage through a two-layered soil foundation was performed. The hydraulic conductivity of soil shows significant spatial variations in different layers because of stratification; further, it varies on a smaller scale within each individual layer. Therefore, the deterministic seepage analysis method was extended to develop a probabilistic approach that accounts for the uncertainties and spatial variation of the hydraulic conductivity in a layered soil profile. Two-dimensional random fields were generated on the basis of the Karhunen-Lo<TEX>$\grave{e}$</TEX>ve expansion in a manner consistent with a specified marginal distribution function and an autocorrelation function for each layer. A Monte Carlo simulation was then used to determine the statistical response based on the random fields. A series of analyses were performed to verify the application potential of the proposed method and to study the effects of uncertainty due to the spatial heterogeneity on the seepage behavior of two-layered soil foundation beneath water retaining structure. The results showed that the probabilistic framework can be used to efficiently consider the various flow patterns caused by the spatial variability of the hydraulic conductivity in seepage assessment for a layered soil foundation.
