이암 및 셰일은 점토를 함유하고 있어 풍화작용을 받을 경우 공학적 성질이 급격히 변화하여 강도 저하, 내구성저하현상 및 토사와 유사한 거동을 보이는 등 토목공사에 위험한 요소가 되고 있다. 풍화된 시료엔 대한 실험용 시료 가공이 어렵고 적용 가능한 실험법이 적어 공학적 특성이나 거동을 정량적으로 파악하는 기법이 다른 암종에 비해 극히 제한된다. 현재까지 강도측정과 같은 일반적인 물성의 단순측정보다는 내구성을 분석하는 슬레이킹 내구성 시험 (Slake durability test), Modified Jar test, 팽창율 측정시험 (Swelling test) 등의 정량화 시험법이 주로 사용되고 있으며 국내 현장에서도 적용을 권장할 수 있다. 이러한 실험치의 해석에서 단일 실험치 (예: 팽창율)만으로 지질공학적 특성을 파악하는 경우 잘못된 판단을 할 수도 있으므로, X선 회절분석시험 (XRD: X-Ray Diffraction Test), TG-DTA분석, 주사전자현미경 (SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope) 이미지 분석, 투수계수 측정실험 등도 함께 수행하여 실험결과를 종합적으로 해석하는 것이 바람직하다.

This study shows the weathering characteristics of mica-schist affected by faulting and metamorphism through laboratory tests. Frozen-thaw test, which simulate the physical-chemical weathering processes in the laboratory, shows the important influence of foliation developed in mica-schist, resulting in $20{\sim}40%$ reduction of UCS according to weathering grade of rock. Slaking durability test was carried out for different weathering grade rock specimens and indicated that the specimens from fault area had a low durability index compared to other relatively fresh samples. XRD analysis allowed to estimate the dynamic evolution of mineral composition through wet-dry cycle in which the chlorite was the most important mineral leached out during slaking test. The creep test indicated that the main deformation produced along the foliation plane. The compacted clay minerals between discontinuity planes influence on the discontinuity shearing properties and result in a big difference between peak shear strength and residual strength. The results of laboratory tests on mica-schist show the possibility of a important deformation along the foliation plane or discontinuity.

Clayey paddy soils should be mixed with other good coarse soils to be used as a material for the lining, or, embankment. However, it has been difficult to separate soil particles from each other because of the internal cohesion in the soil gradation(separation) characteristics of the fine soil were investigated by various laboratory tests including the slaking durability test. Degradation rate of the soil were dependent upon the clay content and the initial water content before the submergence. The amount of degradations decreased as initial water content increased with exponential functions. The dried specimens separated into the particles after 24 hours of the submergence and specimens which water contents were less than 10% also separated into the particles after 2, or 3 days of the submergence. Compaction curves and the unconfined strength were not varied before and after the submergence. However, unconfined strength decreased as water content increased.

The purpose of this study is to present the possibility a utilization of the tertiary mudstone in Pohang as road subsoil material through pilot experiments on the road embankment structure. This mudstone is an unconsolidated rock that is distributed in the soft rock sedimentary layer, the tertiary layer of the Cenozoic, and causes physical problems such as slaking, swelling, and reduced shear strength and chemical problem like acid drainage. In order to solve various complex problems, an laboratory mixing test was conducted, and the optimal mixing conditions of the tertiary mudstone (90%), composite slag (steel making 70%, blast furnace 30%), and neutralization and coating agent treatment were derived. In order to prove its utilization, a real-scale road embankment structure was constructed and tests were conducted for each section. The pre-processing section is stable due to the design of optimal mixing conditions, while in post-processing section, natural weathering proceeded rapidly, and structural problems were concerned. Since the effect of neutralizing and coating agents was confirmed in temporary-staking section, the neutralizing and coating agents can be applied during the temporary storage period.

In this study, effective porosity measurement, electron microscope (SEM) observation, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), slaking, swelling, and unconfined compression strength according to water immersion were analyzed to evaluate the properties of mudstone with high porosity in Pohang. As a result of the test for 16 square samples (5 cm), the effective porosity was 14.67% on average, higher than porosity of general mudstone, and electron microscope observation confirmed that the porosity was actually high. As a result of X-ray diffraction analysis, the swelling clay mineral content was 2.3~4.1%, which was lower than the results of previous studies in Pohang. The slake durability index was 37.73~87.73%, showing low to medium durability, which was lower than the results of previous studies. It was confirmed that the swelling property rapidly expanded to 1.79~1.82% of maximum swelling strain in the major axis direction for 30 minutes. As the properties of decreasing the unconfined compression strength according to water immersion, the samples rapidly weathered after 10 minutes of water immersion, and the strength decreased. It was confirmed that the results of previous studies related to mudstone in Pohang were different. This is judged to be due to the high porosity of mudstone in study.

Recently, the selection of procurement material for reclamation or road at Pohang area is getting harder. so, it is attempted that mudstones are used for road base material and harbor reclamation. But there is no example that use mudstone to reclamation and the features of the reclaimed land using mudstones have not been made clear yet. We will make clear these features-especially the water absorption and softening, slaking behavior and the geological mechanism, so we will obtain the method to forecast a land subsidence and a decline of land strength. In this study, we examined the adaptedness judgment of mudstones as a reclamation material for road basis material or harbor reclamation material through the laboratory test and pilot test.

The supply of high quality filling materials for pavement base course or reclamation is getting harder. So, there is an attempt to use soft mudstones as an earth filling material in Pohang area. But the engineering properties of the soil deposit placed with soft mudstones have not been clearly evaluated yet. We investigated the water absorption and softening, the slaking behavior and the geological mechanism in order to obtain an effective way of estimating the magnitude of land subsidence and the reduction of soil strength. The applicability of soft mudstones is examined by a variety of laboratory tests and pilot-scale field tests. In addition, it is necessary to consider the environmental characteristics of soft mudstones as a reclaiming material, Consequently, the results from the current study can be used to prevent any construction defects due to the careless use of soft mudstones for the pavement base course or reclamation.
