초록

본 논문은 수리학적 현장 주입시험 기간 동안 고려될 필요가 있는 수리역학적 상호작용에 따른 균열암반매질의 수리학적 거동에 대한 수치적 연구이다. 이러한 주입시험은 굴착정 내에 설치된 개구간(open hole section)을 따라 높은 압력을 가진 유량을 주입하며, 이를 통해 굴착정을 가로지르는 균열로부터 유량을 측정하는 것이다. 시간에 따라 변화되는 유량측정결과는 수리역학적 상호작용에 대한 분석 및 예측을 위해 개발된 수치모형의 현장 적용성을 평가하기 위해 사용되었다. 유량측정결과 전도성이 있는 균열들은 상호의존적인 균열망을 형성하며, 이로 인해 균열망을 구성하는 개별적인 균열요소들은 독립적인 시스템으로서 적절하게 모형화 될 수 없음을 보여주었다. 또한 간극수압이 굴착정 주위에 작용하는 최소주응력을 초과할 때 새로운 유체유입영역이 발생되며, 이러한 최소주응력보다 훨씬 큰 간극수압은 굴착정 주위의 균열들에 의해 유지될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 이러한 특성들이 자연 상태의 균열망의 구성형태에 따라 어떻게 영향을 미치게 되는지 이산 균열망 모형을 통해 수치적으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents the numerical investigation for the hydraulic behavior of a fractured rock mass with a hydromechanical interaction which may be considered during the in-situ hydraulic injection test. These experiments consist in a series of flow meter injection tests for fractures existing along an open hole section installed in a borehole, and experimental results are applied for testing a numerical model developed to the analysis and prediction of such hydromechanical interactions. Field experimental results show that conductive fractures form a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fractures cannot be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intaking zones generate when pore pressure exceeds the minimum principal stress magnitude in that borehole, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress can be further supported by the circulated fractures. In this study, these characteristics are investigated numerically how to influence the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass by using a discrete fracture ntework model.
