Abstract

This is a study on large-scale rock joint roughness measurements using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) and the Split-FX point cloud processing software. The large-scale rock Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) is calculated using the maximum amplitude of joint asperities over the profile length on large-scale Joint surfaces of rock. As the profile length increases, JRC decreases due to scale-effects of rock specimens and is non-stationary. Also JRC shows anisotropy depending on the profile direction. The profile direction is measured relative to either dip or strike of the large-scale joint.

대규모 암반 절리면의 거칠기를 구하는 여러 가지 방법이 있으나, 길이 10 cm의 절리를 Barton 등이 제안한 표준절리면곡선과 비교하여 절리면 거칠기계수 JRC (joint roughness coefficient)를 결정하고 대규모 절리의 길이에 따라 보정하는 것이 가장 일반적인데, 적합한 표준 절리면곡선을 선택할 때 측정자에 따라 달라자는 경우가 많다. 따라서 대규모 암반 절리면의 거칠기 JRC는 길이에 따른 보정 없이 직접 측정하는 것이 정확할 것이나 측정방법에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 암반절리를 LIDAR (light detection and ranging)로 스캔하고 절리의 길이 L과 절리면 상의 돌출부(asperity) 높이의 진폭 a를 이용하여 대규모 암반 절리의 거칠기계수 JRC를 구하였다. 그 결과 대규모의 암반 절리면에서도 절리의 길이 증가에 따라 거칠기 계수 JRC가 감소하는 비 정상상태(non-stationary)의 치수효과와 거칠기 측정방향에 따라 절리면 거칠기계수 JRC가 다른 것을 확인하였다.
