암반내 존재하는 단층은 암반거동에 중대한 영향을 미치게 되며, 특히 단층내에 충전물이 협재되어 있거나, 파쇄대가 넓게 발달한 경우에는 암반구조물의 안정성에 보다 심각한 문제를 가져오는 경우가 많다. 이는 단층의 불연속적인 거동과 충전물의 거동이 복합적으로 작용하게 되며, 장기적인 시간을 두고 나타나기 때문이다. 본 검토에서는 단층의 공학적 특성을 분석하고, 단층대 구간에서는 보강설계 사례 및 단층대 구간에서의 붕락사고로 인하여 문제가 발생한 현장사례분석을 통하여 단층이 암반사면이나 터널과 같은 암반 구조물에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이를 통하여 단층과 점토 그리고 지하수 등의 복합거동에 의한 장기적이고 잠재적인 거동을 수반할 수 있는 단층의 공학적 문제점을 고찰하였다.

Although the Korean peninsula has been considered as a largely aseismic region compared with the surrounding high seismic areas such as North China and Japan, there are more than thirty Quaternary faults reported so far, which are mostly centered in the southeastern peninsula. Structural studies of active faults exposed in Yangnam-myeon of Gyeongju, SE Korea are largely interpreted to post date the late Quaternary, suggesting that the NE-trending reverse faults may result from the active stress regime in the peninsula. The prevailing present-day E-W $S_{Hmax}$ orientations in the peninsula are consistent with the nature of plate forcing stemming from the convergence between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates. It is clear that the Quaternary faults have been reactivated, although resolving more elaborate time intervals responsible for a future rupture remains a significant challenge. This study contributes to better assess many of potential seismic hazards in the study area, in particular, in terms of seismic stability for foundation of nuclear power plant.

The effect of fault on the stability of the closely-spaced twin tunnels located in fault zones was investigated by numerical analyses and scaled model tests on condition of varying widths, inclinations and material properties of fault. When obtaining the strength/stress ratios of pillar between twin tunnels, three different stresses were used which were measured at the middle point of pillar, calculated to whole average along the pillar section and measured at the left/right edges of pillar. Among them, the method by use of the left/right edges turned out to be the most conservative stability estimation regardless of the presence of fault and reflected the excavating procedures of tunnel in real time. It was also found that the strength/stress ratios of pillar were decreased as the widths and inclinations of fault were increased and as the material properties of fault were decreased on condition using the stresses measured at the left/right edges of pillar. As a result of scaled model tests, it was found that the model with fault showed less crack initiating pressure than the model without fault. As the width of fault was larger, tunnel stability was decreased. The fault had also a great influence on the failure behavior of tunnels, such as the model without fault showed failure cracks generated horizontally at the left/right edges of pillar and at the sidewalls of twin tunnels, whereas the model with fault showed failure cracks directionally generated at the center of pillar located in the fault zone.

Youngju multipurpose dam is planned to minimizing the damage by flood and obtaining the water for industrial use in Nakdong river region. Faults in rock mass have strong influences on the behaviors of dam structure. Thus, it is very important to analyse for the characteristics of fault rocks in dam design. However, due to the limitation of geotechnical investigation in design stages, engineers have to carry out the additional geological survey including directional boring to find the distribution of faults and the engineering properties of faults for stability of dam. Especially, the selection of location of dam and type of dam considering fault zone must be analyzed through various experimental and numerical analysis. In this study, various geological survey and field tests were carried out to analyse the characteristics of the large fault zone through the complex dam is designed in foundation region. Also, the distribution of structural geology, the shape of faults and the mechanical properties of fault rock were studied for the reasonable design of the location and type of dam for long-term stability of the complex dam.

An excessive ground displacement occurs with excavating tunnel in a fault zone because the fault has properties of soft ground in generally. It may have had a bad influence to adjacent structure. So, rapid reduction of ground strength by groundwater inflow should be prevented. It must be established for an impervious and reinforcing effect of ground to ensure a tunnel stability. The ground settlement and reinforcing effects were estimated by numerical analyses on tunnel through 570 m sector in Yangsan fault zone of Keongbu high-speed railway. Settlements evaluated by numerical analysis is similar to those calculated by using equation of Loganathan & Poulo. It was shown that reliable estimate of ground settlement by applying a prediction equation is possible. Applicability of adopted tunnel reinforcement method in fault zone was investigated by results of pilot construction and numerical analysis. Results from this study indicate that the adopted reinforcement method make tunnel displacements and member stresses restrain in design criteria.

Methods for deriving design input-parameters to ensure the stability of a structure on a common ground are generally well known. Folded metamorphic rocks, such as the study area, are highly foliated and have small faults parallel to the foliation, resulting in special research methods and tests to derive design input parameters, Etc. are required. The metamorphic rock ground with foliation development of several mm intervals has a direct shear test on the foliation surface, the strike/dip mapping of the foliation, the boring investigation to determine the continuity of the foliation, and the rock mass rating of the metamorphic rock. etc. are required. In the case of a large number of small foliation-parallel faults developed along a specific foliation plane, it is essential to analyze the lineament, surface geologic mapping for fault tracing, and direct shear test. Folded ground requires additional geological-structural-domain analysis, discontinuity analysis of stereonet, electrical resistivity exploration along the fold axis, and so on.

The role of site investigation for adequate design of civil structure begins from siting to comment on design and providing other available geotechnical data. As the scope of human's life is wider than before, civil works have become conducted at sites of worse geological condition. So, it is necessary to have more adequate comprehension on the geological condition than ever in order to solve complicated geotechnical problems. In this paper, four fault related cases are introduced. Usually faults are the most influential geological structures on civil works. And the analyses with adequate countermeasures to each case are summarized.

지진 활동의 결과로 발생하는 피해를 감소시키기 위해 지층의 단층구조를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 지층 탄성파 데이터를 공간자료구조를 활용하여 분석하고 효율적인 공간정보를 생산하는 시스템 개발과 관련된 연구를 제안한다. 공간자료구조는 방대한 탄성파 데이터를 지층을 이루는 암석층을 공간데이터로 저장하고, 분석하여 단층대를 이루는 공간을 검색 가능하게 한다. 검색된 단층가능 구간은 전문가의 판단을 통해 주변의 다른 단층구간과 다양한 요소들과 결합하여 지진 활동 연구에 중요한 판단 자료로 사용될 수 있다. 최근의 불안정한 지진활동 피해에서도 알 수 있듯이, 단층대의 확인 작업은 다양한 지상/지하 구조물의 안정성에 중요한 역할을 하는 자료가 된다.
