Abstract
Grouting has been practiced as a reliable technique to improve the mechanical properties of rock mass. But, the study of ground improvement by greeting is rare especially in jointed rock mass. In this study, joint compression test and direct shear test were performed on pure rock joint and cement milk grouted rock joint to examine the grouting effect on the property of rock joint. In the pure rock joint compression test, joint closure varied non-linearly with normal stress. But after cement milk grouting, the normal deformation characteristics of the joint was linear at the low normal stress level. As normal stress increased. deformation of the sample rapidly increased due to the stress concentration at the joint asperities. Peak shear strength of the grouted joint in low normal stress was higher than that of non-grouted joint due to the cohesion, decreased exponetially as the grout thickness increased. Thus after cement milk grouting, the failure envelope modified to a curve that has cohesion due to grout material hydration with decreased friction angle. Shear stiffness and peak dilation angle of the grouted joint decreased as the grout thickness increased. The peak shear strength from the direct shear test on grouted rock joint was represented by an empirical equation as a fuction of grout thickness and roughness mean amplitude.
본 연구에서는 주입에 의한 암석절리면의 수직압축특성과 전단특성의 변화를 규명하기 위하여 신선한 인공절리에 대하여 시멘트현탁액을 주입한 후, 절리 압축시험과 직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 시멘트현탁액을 주입한 맞물린 단일암석 절리의 수직압축시험결과, 주입전 비선형적이었던 절리의 수직응력-수직변형곡선은 선형적으로 바뀌었으며 2 MPa까지의 수직변형은 주입전의 1/10정도로 감소하였다. 시멘트현탁액 주입후 신선한 단일암석절리에 대한 직접전단시험결과, 파괴포락선은 1 MPa내외의 점착력과주입전보다 낮은 마찰각을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 주입두께가 커질수록 마찰각은 더 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 잔류전단강도는 주입두에와의 상관성을 확인할 수 없었으나, 전단강성과 최대팽창각은 주입두께가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 주입두께에 대한 전단특성들의 감소현상들은 주입재에 의한 절리면 유효거칠기의 감소효과로부터 발생한 것으로 판단되며 직접전단시험에서 얻어진 최대전단강도를 주입두께대 거칠기평균진폭비를 포함한 경험식으로 나타내었다.
