Abstract

Since the failure behavior of transversely isotropic rocks is significantly different from that of isotropic rocks, it is necessary to develop a transversely isotropic rock failure function in order to evaluate the stability of rock structures constructed in transversely isotropic rock masses. In this study, a spatial distribution function for strength parameters of transversely isotropic rocks is proposed, which is based on the Cassini oval curve proposed by 17th century astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini to model the orbit of the Sun around the Earth. The proposed distribution function consists of two model parameters which could be identified through triaxial compression tests on transversely isotropic rock samples. The original Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) failure function is extended to a three-dimensional transversely isotropic M-C failure function by employing the proposed strength parameter distribution function for the spatial distributions of the friction angle and cohesion. In order to verify the suitability of the transversely isotropic M-C failure function, both the conventional triaxial compression and true triaxial compression tests of transversely isotropic rock samples are simulated. The predicted results from the numerical experiments are consistent with the failure behavior of transversely isotropic rocks observed in the actual laboratory tests. In addition, the simulated result of true triaxial compression tests hints that the dependence of rock strength on intermediate principal stress may be closely related to the distribution of the microstructures included in the rock samples.

횡등방성 암석의 파괴거동은 등방성 암석의 경우와 큰 차이가 있으므로 횡등방성 암반에 건설되는 암반구조물의 정밀한 안정성 평가를 위해서는 횡등방 파괴함수의 개발이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 17세기 천문학자 Cassini가 지구둘레를 도는 태양의 궤도를 모델링하기 위해 제안한 Cassini 난형(卵形)곡선을 기반으로 횡등방성 암석의 강도정수 분포함수를 제안하였다. 제안된 강도정수 분포함수는 횡등방성 암석시료에 대한 삼축압축시험을 통해 실험적으로 결정이 가능한 2개의 모델 파라미터로 정의된다. 제안된 강도정수 분포함수를 마찰각과 점착력의 공간분포함수로 채용하여 기존의 Mohr-Coulomb(M-C) 파괴함수를 3차원 횡등방성 M-C 파괴함수로 확장시켰다. 제안된 횡등방성 M-C 파괴함수의 적합성을 검증하기 위해 횡등방성 암석시료의 삼축압축시험 및 진삼축압축시험을 수치모사하였다. 수치실험을 통해 예측된 결과는 실제 실험실 시험에서 관찰되는 횡등방성 암석의 파괴거동과 부합하였다. 또한 진삼축압축시험 수치모사 결과는 암석강도의 중간주응력 의존성이 암석시료에 포함된 미시적 연약면의 공간분포 특성과 밀접한 관련이 있을 수 있음을 보여주었다.
