Abstract

This study presents a methodology to reproduce the mechanical behavior of isotropic or transversely isotropic rock using the polygonal grain-based distinct element model. A numerical technique to monitor the evolution of micro-cracks during the simulation was developed in the present study, which enabled us to examine the contribution of tensile cracking and shear cracking to the progressive process of the failure. The numerical results demonstrated good agreement with general observations from rock specimens in terms of the behavior and the evolution of micro-cracks, suggesting the capability of the model to represent the mechanical behavior of rock. We also carried out a parametric study as a fundamental work to examine the relationships between the microscopic properties of the constituents and the macroscopic behavior of the model. Depending on the micro-properties, the model exhibited a variety of responses to the external load in terms of the strength and deformation characteristics. In addition, a numerical technique to reproduce the transversely isotropic rock was suggested and applied to Asan gneiss from Korea. The behavior of the numerical model was in good agreement with the results obtained in the laboratory-scale experiments of the rock.

본 연구에서는 다각형 입자 기반 개별요소모델을 이용하여 실험실 스케일에서 등방성, 횡등방성 암석의 거동과 점진적 파괴 과정을 모델링할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기법을 구축하였다. 가압에 따른 미세균열의 개시와 성장 과정을 모니터링할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였으며, 이를 통해 전단균열과 인장균열의 개시와 성장이 암석의 점진적 파괴 과정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 다각형 입자기반 개별요소모델의 거동 및 미세균열의 발생 양상은 실험실에서 관찰되는 암석의 일반적인 특징과 상당 부분 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 통해 상기 모델이 암석의 역학적 거동을 합리적인 수준에서 재현할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 다각형 입자기반 개별요소모델에 대한 기초연구로서 접촉면의 미시변수와 시료의 거시물성 간의 상관관계를 살펴보았으며, 미시변수를 조정함으로써 다양한 암석의 강도와 변형 특성을 재현하였다. 한편, 상기 모델을 횡등방성 암석을 모사하기 위한 방법론을 제시하였으며, 이를 국내 횡등방성 암석인 아산편마암에 적용하여 근소한 오차 범위 내에서 실내시험 결과를 재현하였다.
