터널 굴착선 여굴(Overbreak)은 발파공법에 의한 괄착 중에 필연적으로 발생하는 현상으로서 숏크리트, 라이닝 등의 보강비 추가 발생과 버력 처리량의 증대로 공기 및 공사비를 증가시키는 주요한 요인으로 작용한다. 또한 터널 굴착선 암반의 손상으로 균열층이 형성되거나 부석이 발생하여 안전문제를 야기시키기도 한다. 이러한 여굴 발생은 천공오차, 발파패턴의 오류, 잘못된 화약선정, 불규칙한 암반 특성 등에 그 원인이 있으나, 지금까지 터널 여굴은 천공 및 발파기술에 의해 좌우된다라는 인식이 대부분이었다. 그러나 여굴 발생에 중요한 원인으로 터널 굴착선 암반의 특성과 이에 적합한 발파패턴 및 화약류를 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 여굴 발생에 영향을 미치는 암반상태를 파악하기 위해서 터널 굴착선 주변암반의 균열정도, 강도, 불연속면의 간격, 방향, 간극, 충전물 상태 등의 6가지 요소를 이용하여 암반을 분류하는 발파암 분류법(BI)을 새로 제안하였고, 이 분류에 따라 외곽 공의 간격과 장약밀도를 달리 하는 발파패턴을 정립하였다. 또한 화약의 순폭도와 Air Deck 효과를 이용하여 장약밀도를 조절할 수 있는 N.D.C(New Deck Charge) 발파공법을 개발함으로써 여굴을 최소화할 수 있었다.

이 연구는 우리나라 균열암반 대수층의 수리적 특성을 해석ㆍ평가하기 위하여 양수시험 해석해(Theis, 1935; Cooper-Jacob, 1946; Papadopulos-Cooper, 1967; Hantush, 1962a,b; Moench, 1985; Hantush-Jacob, 1955) 및 일반화 방사상 유동 모델을 이용하여 균열암반 대수층(화강암, 화산암, 변성암, 백악기퇴적암, 제3기 퇴적암에 굴착된 100개 조사공)에서 수행되어진 양수시험으로부터 얻은 122개의 양수시험자료(수위강하 자료)를 분석하였다. AQTESOLV 전산프로그램을 이용한 양수시험자료 분석에 의하면, 122개 자료중 86개(71%)의 자료들이 이 연구에 사용된 해석해와 일치하며, 양수시험자료 해석해 중에 누수(leaky) 및 경계조건(boundary condition)을 고려한 해석해들이 53개(43%)로 가장 많이 나타났다. 그러므로, 양수시험자료의 해석은 균열암반 대수층의 수리지질학적 특성에 적합한 개념모델의 설정이 중요하다. 일반화 방사상 유동(GRF)모델을 적용해보면, 122개의 자료중 77개(63%)의 자료들이 Barker(1988)의 표준곡선에 의한 차원(1.1차원-2.9차원)을 보여준다. 이중 44.2%에 해당하는 39개 자료가 1.1차원과 1.9차원 사이의 분할 유동차원을 보여주는 반면에 26개(6.5%)만이 Theis 이론에 맞는 2차원의 방사상 흐름을 보여주며, 38개(49.3%)는 2.1차원에서 2.9차원에 속한다. 따라서 우리나라 균열암반 대수층에서 지하수 유동은 대부분 분할차원의 유동을 보여주는 것으로 평가된다.

For the accurate safety assessment of potential radioactive waste disposal site which is located in the crystalline rock it is important to simulate the mass transportation through engineered and natural barrier system precisely, characterized by porous and fractured media respectively. In this work the methods to construct discrete fracture network for the analysis of flow and mass transport through fractured-porous medium are described. The probability density function is adopted in generating fracture properties for the realistic representation of real fractured rock. In order to investigate the intersection between a porous and a fractured medium described by a 2 dimensional rectangular and a cuboid grid respectively, an additional imaginary fracture is adopted at the face of a porous medium intersected by a fracture. In order to construct large scale flow paths an effective method to find interconnected fractures and algorithms of swift detecting connectivities between fractures or porous medium and fractures are proposed. These methods are expected to contribute to the development of numerical program for the simulation of radioactive nuclide transport through fractured-porous medium from radioactive waste disposal site.

Rock mass classification for construction of underground facilities is essential to secure their stabilities. Therefore, the reliable values for rock mass classification from the precise information on rock discontinuities are most important factors, because rock mass discontinuities can affect exclusively on the physical and mechanical properties of rock mass. The conventional classification operation for rock mass has been usually performed by hand mapping. However, there have been many issues for its precision and reliability; for instance, in large-scale survey area for regional geological survey, or rock mass classification operation by non-professional engineers. For these reasons, automated rock mass classification using LiDAR becomes popular for obtaining the quick and precise information. But there are several suggested algorithms for analyzing the rock mass discontinuities from point cloud data by LiDAR scanning, and it is known that the different algorithm gives usually different solution. Also, it is not simple to obtain the exact same value to hand mapping. In this paper, several discontinuity extract algorithms have been explained, and their processes for extracting rock mass discontinuities have been simulated for real rock bench. The application process for several algorithms is anticipated to be a good reference for future researches on extracting rock mass discontinuities from digital point cloud data by laser scanner, such as LiDAR.

This research is intended to investigate the behavior of the jointed rock under various loading conditions: static or dynamic load. The distributed state concept (DSC) is based on the idea that the response of the joint can be related to and expressed as the response of the reference states : relative intact (RI) and fully adjusted (FA) states. In the DSC, an initially RI joint modifies continuously through a process of natural self-adjustment, and a part of it approaches the FA state at randomly disturbed locations in the joint areas. In this study, based on the DSC concept, RI state, FA state, and disturbance function (D) are defined for characterizing the behavior of rock joint. From the results of this research, it can be stated that DSC model is capable of capturing the physical behavior of jointed rock such as softening and hardening and considering the size of joint and roughness of joint surface.

In the present study, laboratory tests including the seepage-induced consolidation test, suction test, and desiccation shrinkage test are performed to investigate characteristics of the desiccation shrinkage in reclaimed hydraulic fills. Soil samples for laboratory tests are obtained from three sites (districts of Haenam, Kogeum and Koheung in Chunnam area). Desiccation shrinkage settlement caused by three dimensional volume change is numerically evaluated using finite difference technique based on the governing equation proposed by Abu-Hejleh & Znidarcic. Also characteristics of the desiccation shrinkage analyzed from the test results are used as input data for numerical evaluations. Further predicted total settlements including the self-weight consolidation settlement are compared with values measured at the site of Haenam district. Finally, effects of parameters related to the desiccation shrinkage on settlements are examined.

Faults in rock mass have strong influences on the behaviors of rock structure such as rock slope, tunnel and underground space. Thus, it is very important to analyse for the characteristics of fault rocks in design for tunnel. But, due to the limitation of geotechnical investigation in design stages, tunnel engineers have to carry out the face mapping and additional geological survey during tunnel excavation to find the distribution of faults and the engineering properties of faults for support and reinforcement design of tunnel. In this study, various geological survey and field tests were carried out to analyse the characteristics of the large thrust fault zone through the large sectional tunnel is constructed in mica-schist region. Also, the distribution of structural geology, the shape of thrust faults and the mechanical properties of fault rock were studied for the reasonable design of the reinforcement and support method for the highly fractured fault zone in the large-span tunnel.

Permeability and its change due to a fluid injection in jointed rock mass is an important factor to be well identified for a safe and successful implementation of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects which may accompany injection-induced hydromechanical deformation of the rock mass. In this technical report, we first reviewed important issues in evaluating initial permeability using borehole hydraulic tests and numierical approaches for understanding coupled hydromechanical properties of rock mass. Recent SIMFIP testing device to measure these hydromechanical properties directly through in-situ borehole experiments was also reviewed. The technical significance and usefulness of the device for further applications was discussed as well.

In general, it has been usually used the method that assess rock slope stability using stereographic projection method, limit equilibrium analysis, numerical analysis and slope stability evaluation table. Several methods for assessing the stability of rock slopes has been proposed on the basis of site investigation data. These method adopted different evaluation items and weighting factors by researchers, organization and nation. But the researches for each evaluation items were insufficient. So the effectiveness of rock slope stability evaluation items for geometrical configuration (slope height, slope direction and angle, dip and dip direction of major discontinuity, absolute value for the direction difference for slope and major discontinuities) and topographical characteristic (possibility of topographical water concentration, upper natural slope angle, slope configuration) using 315 failure and stable highway rock slope analysis data, AV (abnormal value) analysis and NMAV (normalized maximum abnormal value) analysis were evaluated.
