Abstract

Physical and microstructural properties of Pungchon and Maggol limestone were investigated quantitatively during 50 cycles of artificial freezing and thawing test. There were decrease in dry weight and P,S-wave velocity, and increase in absorption rate in both rock types. Porosity, pore volume, equivalent diameter, throat thickness and pore orientation were analyzed using X-ray computed tomography images. Porosity increased, and initiation and expansion of pores were investigated as weathering progresses. Physical and microstructural variation in Maggol limestone was larger than that of Pungchon limestone because Maggol limestone has more pores and microcracks at initial state. As this study analyzes physical and microstructural properties of rock specimens comprehensively, it can be applied to further rock weathering study and can be used as fundamental data of construction and resource development in cold regions.

풍촌석회암과 막골석회암을 대상으로 $-18{\sim}+32^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 총 50회의 인공적인 동결-융해 풍화시험을 수행하고 그로 인한 물리적 성질과 미세구조의 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 두 가지 암종 모두 건조무게와 P,S파 속도는 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 흡수율은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. X선 단층촬영 영상분석 결과 실험 후 공극률이 증가하였으며, 공극부피, 등가직경, 국부두께, 방향성 등 여러 지표에서 공극의 생성 및 확장을 확인할 수 있었다. 막골석회암의 물리적 미세구조적 변화가 풍촌석회암에 비해 크게 나타났는데 이는 초기 상태의 막골석회암이 더 많은 공극과 미세균열을 가지고 있었기 때문으로 추정된다. 본 연구는 암석의 물리적 성질과 미세구조적 성질을 통합적으로 분석함으로써 향후 암석의 풍화 연구에 적용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 저온지역의 건설, 자원개발 활동에 기초자료로써 이용될 것으로 기대된다.
