Recently, the frequency of occurring dynamic events such as earthquakes, explosives blasting and other types of vibration has been increasing. Besides, the chances of exposure for rock discontinuities to free faces get higher as the scale of rock mass structures become larger. For that reason, the frictional behavior of rock joints under dynamic conditions needs to be investigated. In this study, artificially fractured rock joint specimens were prepared in order to examine the dynamic frictional behavior of rough rock joint. Roughness of each specimen was characterized by measuring surface topography using a laser profilometer and a series of shaking table tests was carried out. For mated joints, the static friction angle back-calculated ken the yield acceleration was $2.7^{\circ}$ lower than the tilt angle on average. The averaged dynamic friction angle for unmated joints was $1.8^{\circ}$ lower than the tilt angle. Displacement patterns of sliding block were classified into 4 types and proved to be related to the first order asperity of rock joint. The tilt angle and the static friction angle for mated joints seem to be correlated to micro average inclination angle which represents the second order asperity. The tilt angle and the dynamic friction angle for unmated Joints, however, have no correlation with roughness parameters. Friction angles obtained by shaking table test were lower than those by direct shear test.

The influence of the mined-out caves on the stability of the high speed railway tunnel was investigated with a series of geological logging and in-situ tests on the one hand, and with the rock mass classification using the multiple regression analysis on the other hand. The rock mass in this area can be classified as 'fair', and the condition of the discontinuities plays the most important role in the classification of the rock mass. The results of the analysis obtained by the FLAC showed that the western part of the tunnel locating at 50m above the mine cavities could be affected by subsidence associated with a considerable deformation, the magnitude of which might depend on the properties of the rock mass. Key word : multi regression analysis, subsidence, mine cavities

This study investigated the friction behaviors of rock and grout through the small /large scale laboratory experiments. The small-scale laboratory tests were undertaken using a specially designed and fabricated equipments to simulate the contact surface of rock. In calibration chamber test, a artificial rock mass was prepared in soil container to measure the tensile resistance of grout. Test condition includes the grouting method of pressure involvement. The results of the tests show that the pressure grouting increases the frictional resistance significantly.

우리 나라의 양수발전소는 지금까지 단일공동을 굴착하였다. 그러나 양양 양수발전소는 두 개의 대공동 즉, 발전소와 주 변전소로 구성된다. 이 경우 공동 구조물의 안정성, 특히 두 공동사이에 형성되는 암주를 영구적으로 안전하게 유지 할 수 있도록 보장되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 이용하여 두 공동과 암주의 구조적 안정성을 평가하였으며, 구성모델로 Barton-Bandis의 절리모델을 이용하였다. 현지 암반의 초기응력, 자연절리면의 거칠기계수 불연속면의 공간적 분포 특성과 같은 중요한 요인들은 현지 조사를 통하여 구하였다. 이외에 두 가지 경우 즉, 무보강과 보강의 경우 지보시스템의 최적화를 분석하였으며, 또한 보강효과를 검토하였다. 연구결과 보강의 경우 수평변위와 절리의 전단변위가 감소되었으며 암주내 이완영역 역시 감소됨을 확인하였다. 두 공동사이에 있는 약 36m 두께의 암주에 적절한 보강조치를 취하여 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다.

방사성 폐기물 처분장 주변에서의 지하수 유동에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하여 안전성 평가측면에서 필요한 성능측도에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 각 암반충의 투수계수 및 공극률의 변화에 대한 지하수 유속과 수두의 민감도와 경제 조건을 변경함으로 인해 지하수 유동시간에 미치는 영향을 adjoint 민감도 분석법에 의해 살펴보았다. 민감도 분석 결과, 본 논문에서 고려된 처분부 지의 경우 해수에 접한 경계 면에서는 해수의 밀도를 고려한 경계조건을 사용하는 것이 지하수 유동이 없다고 가정하는 경계조건보다 약간 보수적임을 보여주었고, 투수계수 변화에 따른 지하 수두 및 Darcy 속도는 처분동굴이 위치한 암반의 투수계수 변화에 매우 민감하고 실제적으로 동굴에서 멀리 떨어진 바닥 암반층의 투수계수 변화에는 민감하지 않았다.

Rock joint surface roughness, which is known to be one of the most important factors for defining shear strength of rock mass, has been researched in various methods. However, approaches to separate a roughness into two groups (primary and secondary) for evaluating the roughness have been rarely performed. In this study, elements of secondary roughness were eliminated through direct shear testing with tensile joint specimen and they were quantified with joint parameters. It is revealed that roughness parameters decrease with increasing the normal stress and sampling intervals, except for the case in which the normal stress is larger than 1.5 MPa. Also it is analyzed that ratio of area reduction in the opposite direction of shearing decreases with increasing the roughness parameter.

Recently, the development of underground space has been accelerated with rapid urbanization, and it is significantly important for safe construction to accurately understand the geological conditions of the section when excavating rocks. In this paper, a boring alignment tracking and geological exploration system have been developed to identify the geological conditions beyond the excavation face by utilizing a MSP method that bores a large empty hole to reduce blast-induced vibration. The major advantage of the proposed exploration system is that we can obtain the ground condition of 50 m ahead of the excavation face through exploration along blast cut-holes drilled for the NATM tunnel construction. In addition, we introduce several case histories regarding the assessment of the geological conditions beyond the tunnel face by monitoring the inside of large empty holes using the proposed hole exploration system.

Rock joint surface roughness is one of the most important parameters in shear behavior analysis of rock joint surface. Until now, estimation of joint surface roughness has been conducted by various statistical methods with two-dimensional analysis. In this study, standard roughness profile suggested by Barton and Choubey (1977) was expanded into a 3D surface and its surface roughness was analyzed by surface angularity parameter. And the validity of quantification based on surface angularity was secured through comparison with $Z_2$ and Ai parameter. Also the surface angularity parameter was compared with shear strength by joint shear test using the replicated specimen.

주변 보안물건에 직전각인 피해를 유발시킬 수 있는 발파진동은 암반의 파쇄를 위해 화약의 폭박력을 이용하는 발파작업에서 발생하는 대표적인 발파공해로 이러한 발파진동을 저감시키기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 2자유면 발파시 최소저항선과 대구경 무장약공을 자유면으로 활용하는 터널 심발발파시 무장약공과 첫 번째 심발발파공의 중심사이 거리가 발파진동에 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 균질한 모르타르 시험체에 대한 소규모 단일공 시험발파를 수행하였다. 11g의 화약을 장약한 2자유면 단일공 시험발파시 발파진동의 크기는 최소저항선을 표준장약의 경우인 150mm에서 2/3 수준인 100mm로 줄인 경우 삼승근 환산거리 $10~40{\;}m/kg^{1/3}$인 범위에서 약 13~38% 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 직경이 180mm인 무장약공을 자유면으로 활용하는 첫 번째 심발 시험발파공에 22g의 화약을 장약하여 수행한 단일공 시험발파시 무장 약공 중심으로부터 발파공 중심까지의 공간격이 짧아질수록 발파진동이 더 작아지는 것으로 나타났다.

It is difficult to calculate factor of safety of a tunnel by applying any analytical method based upon limit equilibrium method since the shape of failure plane in tunnel analysis can not be easily assumed in advance. To cope with this shortcoming, a method is suggested to calculate safety factor of a tunnel by numerical analysis using strength reduction technique. A circular tunnel excavated in a homogeneous rock was selected as an example problem and factors of safety were calculated for no-supported, partly-supported, and completely-supported cases respectively. Meshes with 3 different sizes were examined for a sensitivity analysis. For the verification of the proposed method, a limit equilibrium analysis was conducted and compared with the numerical analysis. The proposed method herein can be used to calculate factor of safety of a tunnel regardless of tunnel shape or geological conditions, and thus can contribute for the improved design and stability assessment of tunnels.
