Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the causes of the unusually high number of rock slope failures during an expressway construction in Yangsan fault system. The shear strength (cohesion and internal friction angle) of 128 slopes of discontinuities including bedding, joint, and fault planes were re-evaluated through the examination of face mapping and back analysis. The re-evaluated values were analyzed and then compared with the existing data and values used in the design. As a result, the re-evaluated cohesion and friction angles were very low compared to the existing data and the values applied in the design. This incongruity was pointed as the primary reason for the rock slopes failures during the construction. This may be related to the inherent features of clastic sedimentary rocks in the study area, and the discontinuities in the sedimentary rocks in this region played a significant role. Especially, bedding discontinuity showed a big difference compared to the existing data. The shear strength depended on the type of discontinuity in case of clay filled in discontinuity. However, shear strength was independent on the type of discontinuity in case of shattered materials filled in discontinuity.

본 연구는 양산단층대를 통과하는 고속도로 건설공사 중 암반비탈면의 파괴가 유난히 많이 발생된 원인을 규명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 이를 위해 128개소의 양산단층대 파괴 암반비탈면 대하여 불연속면 유형(절리, 층리, 단층)에 따라 face mapping과 역해석을 통해 전단강도(점착력, 내부마찰각)를 재 산정하였다. 재 산정된 점착력과 내부마찰각에 대해 분석을 하였으며 기존 문헌 및 설계 값과도 비교를 하였다. 전체적으로 본 연구에서 재 산정된 점착력과 내부마찰각이 기존 문헌 및 설계에 적용된 값보다 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 이유로 시공 중 많은 암반비탈면에서 파괴가 발생된 것으로 보인다. 이것은 연구 대상 지역의 쇄설성퇴적암이 가지고 있는 특성과 발달된 불연속면이 큰 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다. 특히 층리 불연속면인 경우 기존 값과 비교 시 가장 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 불연속면에 점토충진물이 존재하는 경우 불연속면의 유형에 따라 전단강도가 서로 다른 경향을 보이는 반면, 파쇄물이 존재하는 경우에는 전단강도 값은 불연속면의 유형에 상관없는 것으로 나타났다.
