For the quantitative identification of rock behavior in shallow tunnels, we recommend using the rock behavior index (RBI) by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the Rock Engineering Systems (RES). AHP and RES can aid engineers in effectively determining complex and un-structured rock behavior utilizing a structured pair-wise comparison matrix and an interaction matrix, respectively. Rock behavior types are categorized as rock fall, cave-in, and plastic deformation. Seven parameters influencing rock behavior for shallow depth rock tunnel are determined: uniaxial compressive strength, rock quality designation (RQD), joint surface condition, stress, pound water, earthquake, and tunnel span. They are classified into rock mass intrinsic, rock mass extrinsic, and design parameters. An advantage of this procedure is its ability to obtain each parameter's weight. We applied the proposed method to the basic design of Seoul Metro Line O and quantified the rock behavior into RBI on rock fall, cave-in, and plastic deformation. The study results demonstrate that AHP and RES can give engineers quantitative information on rock behavior.

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.

In-situ rock mass demonstrates the variety of structural features, and especially the mechanical and spatial characteristics of joint (or joint system) greatly affect the deformation and fallure strength of the rock mass. In this study finite element model capable of analyzing the viscoplastic behavior of reinforced jointed rock mass has been developed based on equivalent material approach. Accuracy and reliability of the numerical model have verified by simuiating the behavior of simplified block model and comparing the results with analytic solutions. Practical applicability was also demonstrated by analyzing the time-dependent behavior of underground oil storage tunnel and assessing the reinforcement effect of rockbolt.

암반내 존재하는 불연속면은 암반거동에 중대한 영향을 미치게 되며, 특히 불연속면내에 충전물이 협재되어 있는 경우에는 암반구조물의 안정성에 보다 심각한 문제를 가져오는 경우가 많다. 이는 불연속면의 거동과 충전물의 거동이 복합적으로 작용하게 되며, 장기적인 시간을 두고 나타나기 때문이다. 본 검토에서는 충전된 불연속면의 특성을 분석하고, 점토나 흑연이 협재되어 문제가 되었던 현장 사례분석을 통하여 충전된 불연속면이 암반사면이나 터널과 같은 암반구조물에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이를 통하여 충전물의 열화에 의한 장기적이고 잠재적인 거동을 수반할 수 있는 충전된 불연속면의 공학적 문제점을 고찰하였다.

This study assessed the behavior of rock pillar in tunnel diverging area by using a three dimensional numerical analysis. Based on parameters affecting the behavior of rock pillar, this study evaluated different safety factors according to pillar width, depth and rock conditions. It turned out that as the rock pillar width increases, the change curve of safety factors in accordance with depth and rock conditions shows more of the nonlinear behavior. By the assessment of the minimum safety factor, a safety factor chart on the behavior of rock pillar in tunnel diverging area was suggested.

The source of rock breakage by explosive blasting is the energy released from an explosive. It is transmitted to the surrounding rock mass causing various types of fracture of rock material. The reaction of explosives and the resulting action on the surrounding rock mass are completed in very short tine, making it almost impossible to observe the processes occurring in the interior of the rock mass. In this study several input parameters are investigated by numerical modelling of blast source and dynamic response of rock mass. It is shown that damping coefficient and rising time are major parameters affecting dynamics response of rock mass.

Dynamic behavior of rock structures depends largely on the dynamic characteristics of ground and input earthquake wave. For blocky rocks with intense discontinuities, the mechanical characteristics of blocks and structural and mechanical characteristics of discontinuities affect overall behavior. In this study, UDEC was adopted to evaluate the dynamic behavior of rocks with various structural characteristics. Obtained results were compared to those of $FLAC^{2D}$, a continuum analysis, and the validity of the method was examined for dynamic analysis of discontinuous rocks for earthquake. Analysis considering the discontinuity showed significant changes in structural shape by the influence of joint behavior, and the behavior by continuum analysis was overestimated.

암반은 여러 가지 지질학적 요인들에 의해 형성된 수많은 절리면들을 경계로 하는 다양한 크기와 형상의 암석블럭들이 맞물려 평행상태를 이루고 있는 불연속체이다. 불연속 암반의 거동은 암석블럭을 이루는 무결암의 역학적 특성뿐만 아니라 암석블럭의 경계를 이루는 절리면들의 공간적 분포특성과 역학적 특성에도 큰 영향을 받는다. 불연속 암반의 거동해석을 목적으로 개발되고 있는 최근의 수치해석 기법들도 대부분 절리면의 영향을 효과적으로 해석에 반영시킬 수 있는 방법을 찾는데 집중하고 있다.(중략)
