Abstract

The measurement of sonic velocities is commonly used as an index of engineering properties of rock, but it is not widely appreciated that this velocity can change markedly with the degree of saturation of the sample. This paper records the nature of this variation as seen in samples of Korean granite. The ISRM method of testing suggested for this index can also create difficulties, especially if vaseline is used as a coupling agent, and invades the samples, and if the sample volume changes with degree of saturation. Careful measurements of the natural variation in sonic velocity that occur in a sample whose saturation is gradually increased may be a means of assessing the relic stresses within it.

암석의 탄성파속도를 측정하는 방법은 암석의 공학적 특성을 나타내는 하나의 지표로서 일반적으로 인식되고 있어서 우리나라에서도 $\lower right quadrant건설\; 표준품셈\upper left quadrant$등의 암판정 기준으로서 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 암석의 탄성파속도는 시료의 함수상태에 따라서 크게 변화하는 사실을 충분히 인식하지 못하고 있으므로 본 논문은 한국화강암에서 관찰된 변화특성을 설명한다. 국제 암반역학회에서 추천하고 있는 암석의 탄성파속도 측정방법도 역시 실험상의 어려움이 있는데, 예를 들면 암석시료의 양쪽 끝에서 탄성파가 잘 측정되도록 하기 위하여 사용되는 바셀린이 암석 시료내로 침투하는 경우가 하나의 문제점이고, 또한 암석시료가 함수됨에 따라서 시료의 체적이 팽창하는 경우에도 해석상의 어려움이 있다. 또한 서서히 함수정도를 증가시키는 경우에 암석시료내에서 탄성파속도의 변화를 관찰하여 보면 암석시료내에 존재하는 잔류응력을 파악하는 한 방법으로서도 사용될 수도 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.
