Abstract

Rock mass in Baekrokdam at the summit of Hallasan in Jeju island is composed of two volcanic rock types: Baekrokdam trachybasalt at the eastern region and Hallasan trachyte at the western region. On-going rockfall and subsequent collapse of Baekrokdam wall rock are closely linked to the weathering of trachyte distributed in the western region of Baekrokdam. Samples of Hallasan trachyte showing different weathering grades had been collected and the polarizing microscopic observation, X-ray diffraction analysis and analysis for chemical weathering had been conducted. Formation of secondary minerals, especially clay minerals, by chemical weathering has not been identified, but the change of chemical weathering indices indicated that chemical weathering process had been proceeded to the degree for increasing and decreasing the contents of some chemical components. Changes in physical and mechanical rock properties due to weathering has also been examined. Artificial weathering test of freezing-thawing reveals that the process of crack initiation and propagation deteriorated the mechanical characteristics of Hallasan trachyte and $D_B$ = 1.5 or porosity = $20{\sim}21%$ would be the ultimate limiting value induced by the mechanical weathering processes.

한라산 정상부의 백록담 암체는 백록담조면현무암이 분포하는 동측구역과 한라산조면암이 분포하는 서측구역으로 구분된다. 백록담에서 진행되는 풍화, 암벽붕괴, 낙반은 전반적으로 백록담 서측구역에 분포하는 한라산 조면암의 풍화작용과 밀접한 연관성을 가지며, 동측구역에서는 개별 암석 블록들의 국지적 붕락현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 한라산조면암 분포지역의 지질학적 특성을 조사하였으며, 풍화단계별로 조면암 시료를 채취하여 편광현미경분석, X-선 회절분석, 지화학적 분석, 공학적 특성시험을 수행하였다. SEM, XRD, XRF 분석을 통하여 2차 변질광물의 종류와 함량 및 광물조성 변화를 관찰한 결과 점토광물이 확인될 정도의 심한 화학적풍화작용은 발생하지 않았지만 풍화에 따른 화학적풍화지수와 주요원소의 함량 변화에 대한 분석 결과에 의거할때 화학성분의 용탈에 의한 미약한 화학적풍화작용이 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 풍화에 기인된 암석의 공학적특성변화를 고찰하기 위하여 밀도, 비중, 흡수율, 공극률, 탄성파속도, 일축압축강도, 슬레이크내구성지수, 동결-융해시험을 수행하였다. 인공풍화시험을 통한 균열발현 양상과 물리적 특성 측정 결과 기계적풍화작용은 미세균열 및 공극을 발달시켜 암반의 역학적 강도 저하를 야기하고 있으며, 기계적풍화 진행에 의한 추가적인 공극률 저하 양상을 고려할 때 $D_B$ = 1.5 또는 공극률 = $20{\sim}21%$ 범위에서 한라산조면암의 공학적 강도 특성이 소멸될 것으로 분석되었다.
