Abstract

According to the development of optical technology, the capacity of LIDAR equipments has been greatly improved to get rock mass characteristics precisely and accurately enough and it has been lightened and popularized so that it can be easily used in the field. In this study, we examined the applicability of roughness measurement for joints in a rock slope using LIDAR technique. A triangular irregular network was constructed using LIDAR and a patch, which is a plane structure of discontinuity on rock mass measured from LIDAR scanning, was extracted to estimate the roughness of the rock slope. Four different kinds of roughness parameters were analyzed to find out their correlation with JRC for various point intervals. Among them, $R_s$ parameter was used to measure the roughness of a patch. Regression analysis between four roughness parameters and JRC with respect to point interval was performed. All the roughness parameters decreased with the increase of point interval. In addition, the parameter value showed greater decrease for rougher surfaces. A method of roughness measurement using $R_s$ parameter on rock slope discontinuities was suggested which showed slight overestimation of the real roughness value.

광학기술의 발달로 LIDAR장비들은 사양이 급속도로 발전하여 현재 암반의 정보들을 효과적으로 얻어 낼 정도의 정밀성과 정확성을 확보하고 있고 현장 활용이 용이하도록 경량화 및 보급화가 이루어진 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 넓은 영역의 암반 사면을 대상으로 LIDAR를 이용하여 절리면 거칠기를 측정하는 방법의 적용성에 대하여 고찰해 보았다. 점 간격에 따른 네 가지 거칠기 변수와 JRC와의 상관관계를 회귀 분석하였으며 LIDAR를 이용하여 삼차원 삼각망을 구성하고 면 구조인 패치를 검출하여 암반 사면 절리면의 거칠기를 산정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 실내시험을 통하여 네 가지 거칠기 파라미터와 JRC의 회귀식을 제시하였으며, 네 가지 파라미터 모두 점 간격이 커질수록 거칠기 파라미터 값의 감소를 보이며, 더 큰 거칠기를 갖는 시료에서 더 큰 감소폭을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 현장에서 LIDAR 스캔을 통하여 $R_s$ 파라미터와 점 간격을 고려한 거칠기를 산정하는 알고리즘을 제시하였으며 실제 거칠기 측정 결과보다 다소 과대평가 되는 경향이 있음을 확인하였다.
