초록

암석이 풍화되어 감에 따라 지반 지지력이 감소되는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 토목 구조물의 시공과 설계에서는 암석의 풍화에 의한 지반정수의 변화가 많이 인용되고 있는데 본 연구는 우리나라 면적의 45.5%에 해당되는 화성암을 대상으로 풍화정도에 따른 화학적 변질지수의 값의 범위와 풍화에 따른 광물조성의 변화를 분석하였다. 대상 시료에 대하여 현재까지 제안된 풍화지수들을 산정하였으며, 유의성 분석을 통해서 지수간의 높은 상관성을 확인하였다. 각각의 풍화지수들은 풍화가 진행될수록 값이 증가 또는 감소하는 경향을 보이는데, 화학적 변질지수(CIA)는 암종이나 광물에 따른 값이 기존연구에서 제시되어 있어 풍화의 정도를 판별하기 용이하므로 본 연구에서는 이를 이용하여 풍화정도를 평가하였다. 풍화에 따른 광물학적 변화는 산성질의 영역에 포함되는 암석은 풍화가 진행되어 감에 따라 기반암-일라이트-녹니석-카올린의 경로를 따르나 고철질의 영역에 포함되는 암석은 풍화 진행에 따라 기반암-스멕타이트-녹니석-카올린의 경로를 주로 따르게 된다. 즉 고철질의 암석에서는 풍화과정에서 양이온교환능이 높은 팽윤성의 점토광물인 스멕타이트의 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 화학적 풍화지수는 화학성분의 상대적인 변화와 비율을 근거로 작성된 지수이므로 암종별로 값의 범위가 넓게 나타나며, 특정 암종의 대표값을 결정하기 어렵다. 그러나 화학적 풍화지수는 다른 풍화정도를 판별하는 기준들과 마찬가지로 정성적인 기준이 아닌 정량적인 기준으로 풍화도를 평가하는 데 활용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 특정지역의 풍화정도를 평가하기 위해서는 화학적 변질지수와 함께 풍화광물의 함량비, 풍화에 따른 강도 특성 등을 함께 고려하는 것이 좋을것으로 판단된다.

The weathering process of rocks leads to the reduction of geotechnical bearing capacity. The weathering of granite is frequently used to refer to the degradation of geotechnical property in the design and construction of infra-structure. In this study, the range of values of CIA (chemical index of alteration) and the change of mineral compositions by weathering have been analysed with igneous rock, which covers 45.5% in South Korean territory. Several weathering indices were studied for various rocks found in Korea and significant relationships between different indices were delineated via statistical analysis. The applicability of CIA was found to be the most significant among all weathering indicies. The composition of illite, the secondary weathering residual, generally increases for the felsic rock, and swelling clay material is not included. The weathering of felsic rock will follow a sequential process, starting from bed rock, illite, and chlorite to kaoline. The mafic rock will show weathering process, from bed rock, smectite, and chlorite to kaoline. The intermediate rocks such as andesite and tuff will show similar weathering procedure and the composition of kaoline, chlorite, and smectite tends to increase more than that of illite when the mafic rock is dominated. This means the increase of rock material which has high CEC (cation exchange capacity) during secondary weathering process. However, the characteristics of a specific rock cannot be completely analyzed using merely CIA, since it is exclusively based on chemical composition and corresponding alteration. The CIA can be used to quantify the weathering process in a limited range, and further considerations such as rock composition, strength characteristics will be required to configure the comprehensive weathering impact on any specific region.
