본 연구에서는 보강제체와 무보강제체의 침투거동을 평가하기 위하여 실내모형실험을 실시하였다. 제체침투시험은 사면경사가 1:1.5, 1:2.0이고 수위상승속도가 1.25cm/min, 2.5cm/min, 수위는 15cm, 25cm, 35cm인 조건에서 실시하였다. 모형실험결과 보강재를 사용한 제체의 경우 지하수의 흐름과 상승 때문에 어느 정도의 침하와 수평방향변위가 발생하였으나, 무보강제체에서 나타난 커다란 활동파괴는 발생되지 않았다. 그리고 수위상승속도 변화에 따른 제체의 침투거동분석결과 Geotextile로 보강된 제체가 무보강제체보다 최종침하량이 감소하는 것으로 나타나 Geotextile을 설치한 제체가 비교적 물의 침투력에 대해 안정한 것으로 나타났다.
The primary objective of this paper was to study the seepage and the failure behavior of unreinforced and reinforced embankment, respectively. Experimental study was conducted to examine the infiltration characteristics. The embankment infiltration tests were conducted with water level condition(h=15cm, 25cm, 35cm), slope inclination(1:1.5, 1:2.0), and the rising velocity(1.25cm/min, 2.5cm/min), respectively. From the model test results, as the slope inclination is decreased, the rising velocity of seepage line increased with both reinforced and unreinforced embankment. With the unreinforced embankment, the rising velocity of water level was faster and the failure circle is lager than those of reinforced ones. And the reinforced embankment with geotextile was safer against seepage force than that of the unreinforced embankment.
