Abstract

The characteristics of the rock cleavage of Jurassic Geochang granite were analysed using the distribution of microcrack lengths and spacings. The length and spacing-cumulative diagrams for the six directions of rock cleavages were arranged in increasing order ($H2{\rightarrow}R1$) on the density (${\rho}$) of microcrack length. The various parameters were extracted through the combination of above two types of diagrams. The evaluation for the six directions of rock cleavages was performed using the four groups (I~IV) of parameters such as (I) intersection angle (${\alpha}-{\beta}$), exponent difference (${\lambda}_S-{\lambda}_L$), length of line (ol and ll'), length ratio (ol/os and ll'/sl'), mean length ((ss'+ll')/2), area of right-angled triangle (${\Delta}oaa_a^{\prime}$ and ${\Delta}obb_a^{\prime}$) and area difference (${\Delta}obb^{\prime}-{\Delta}oaa^{\prime}$ and ${\Delta}obb_a^{\prime}-{\Delta}oaa_a^{\prime}$), (II) length of line (oa and os) and area (${\Delta}oaa^{\prime}$), (III) length of line (sl') and length ratio (ss'/ll') and (IV) length of line (ob, ss' and ls') and area (${\Delta}obb^{\prime}$, ${\Delta}ll^{\prime}s^{\prime}$, ${\Delta}ss^{\prime}l^{\prime}$ and ⏢ll'ss'). The results of correlation analysis between the values of parameters for three rock cleavages and those for three planes are as follows. The values of parameters for three rock cleavages are in orders of (I) H(hardway, (H1 + H2)/2) < G(grain, (G1 + G2)/2) < R(rift, (R1 + R2)/2), (II) R < G < H, (III) G < H < R and (IV) H < G < R. On the contrary, the values of parameters for three planes are in orders of (I) R' < G' < H', (II) H' < G' < R' and (III and IV) R' < H' < G'. Especially the values of parameters belonging to group I and group II show mutual reverse orders. In conclusion, this type of correlation analysis is useful for discriminating three quarrying planes.

미세균열의 길이와 간격의 분포를 이용하여 쥬라기 거창화강암의 결의 특성을 분석하였다. 여섯 방향의 결에 대한 길이 및 간격-누적빈도 도표를 미세균열의 길이의 밀도(${\rho}$)가 증가하는 순(($H2{\rightarrow}R1$)으로 배열하였다. 상기 두 유형의 도표의 결합을 통하여 다양한 파라미터를 추출하였다. 여섯 방향의 결에 대한 평가는 (I) 교차각(${\alpha}-{\beta}$), 지수차(${\lambda}_S-{\lambda}_L$), 선의 길이(ol 및 ll'), 길이 비(ol/os 및 ll'/sl'), 평균 길이((ss'+ll')/2), 직각삼각형의 면적(${\Delta}oaa_a^{\prime}$ 및 ${\Delta}obb_a^{\prime}$) 그리고 면적차(${\Delta}obb^{\prime}-{\Delta}oaa^{\prime}$ 및 ${\Delta}obb_a^{\prime}-{\Delta}oaa_a^{\prime}$), (II) 선의 길이(oa 및 os) 그리고 면적(${\Delta}oaa^{\prime}$), (III) 선의 길이(sl') 및 길이 비(ss'/ll') 그리고 (IV) 선의 길이(ob, ss' 및 ls') 및 면적(${\Delta}obb^{\prime}$, ${\Delta}ll^{\prime}s^{\prime}$, ${\Delta}ss^{\prime}l^{\prime}$ 및 ⏢ll'ss')과 같은 4개 그룹(I~IV)의 파라미터를 이용하여 수행하였다. 3개 결 및 3개 면에 대한 파라미터의 값 사이의 상관성 분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 3개 결에 대한 파라미터의 값은 (I) H(3번 결, (H1 + H2)/2) < G(2번 결, (G1 + G2)/2) < R(1번 결, (R1 + R2)/2), (II) R < G < H, (III) G < H < R 및 (IV) H < G < R의 순서이다. 반면에, 3개 면에 대한 파라미터의 값은 (I) R' < G' < H', (II) H' < G' < R' 및 (III 및 IV) R' < H' < G'의 순서이다. 특히, 그룹 I 및 그룹 II에 속하는 파라미터의 값은 상호 역순을 보여준다. 결론적으로, 이러한 유형의 상관성 분석은 3개 채석면의 판별에 유용하다.
