Abstract

Numerical analysis of the progressive failure of a rock slope was conducted using a 3-D rock joint element considering fracture mechanics and subcritical crack growth of asperities in the rock joints. Even though the stress state in the rock slope is not changing, the elapse of time causes subcritical crack growth to break asperities in the joints. The increase of broken asperities causes failure of joints in the rock slope and the increase of failed joints results in failure of a jointed rock slope. As a result, the progressive failure of a jointed rock slope due to the gradual breaking of small asperities along joints generated by subcritical crack growth occurs at a lower stress than if rock failure occurred by exceeding the static strength or fracture toughness.

암석파괴역학과 파괴인성 이하의 응력상태에서 균열이 발생하고 성장하는 특성을 고려하여 암반사면의 진행성 파괴를 검토하였다. 굴착이 종료된 암반사면은 응력이 거의 변하지 않은 조건이지만, 시간이 경과함에 따라 절리면 내 미소한 접점에서 파괴가 발생하고 파괴된 접점의 수효가 증가함에 따라 절리면이 파괴되고, 파괴된 절리면이 많아져 사면이 파괴되는 진행성파괴 현상을 수치해석적으로 확인하였다. 따라서 암반사면의 진행성 파괴는 파괴인성보다 낮은 응력상태에 있는 암반 절리면 내 미소한 접점에서 시간의 경과에 따라 발생한 균열이 성장하여 사면을 파괴시키는 것으로 분석되었다.
