불연속변형해석(DDA)은 유한요소법(FEM)과 개별요소법(DEM)의 장점을 모두 가지고 있는 해석법이다. 3차원 불연속변형해석의 안정성과 해석속도는 접촉찾기(Contact Detection) 알고리즘과 벌칙스프링(Penalty spring)을 이용한 접촉처리 알고리즘에 의해 크게 좌우되는데, 블록의 꼭지점(vertex) 간의 접촉이 발생할 경우, 적합한 접촉면을 결정하는 과정에서 많은 해석오류와 시간적 손실이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 블록의 꼭지점에 내접하는 구(inscribed sphere)를 삽입하여 가상의 접촉점과 접촉면을 생성하는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 해석의 오차의 크기를 확인하고, 간단한 불연속 변형해석의 해석 실례에 적용해 보았다.

Grouting materials in rock is grouted as vein type along the fault surface by the other way for soil and allow a change of characteristics in rock faults as a result of that. Therefore the deformation characteristics of rock faults after grouting differ as a direction and characteristic of grouted fault and stress condition of field rock. Thereby it must be analyzed the effect for deformation of rock according to characteristics of rock faults and characteristics of grouting materials to accurately evaluate the reinforced effect by grouting. But grouting method used in field until present depends on experience of workers, and inspection for those effects are evaluated by measurement of elastic wave velocity, permeability tests and etc. in field. In this study, it was investigated that the effects for shear characteristics of maximum shear strength, residual shear strength and etc. by comparison and analysis of test results which were worked by direct shear tests of rock faults with changing a type of grouting materials and the grouting depth(t) for average width(a) of fault surface roughness when OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) and Micro cement was grouted in fault surface of field rock to evaluate characteristicsof the shear deformation for rock fault surface of dam by grouting.

The change of strain-dependent hydraulic conductivity around mined panels due to subsidence is examined where normal and shear strains, modulus reduction ratio and joint spacing are major factors controlling the changes of hydraulic conductivity. Modulus reduction ratio and joint spacing are defined through RMR and RQD, respectively. Utilizing these two empirical parameters, changes of hydraulic conductivity values of a full gamut of rock mass conditions are determined. The change of hydraulic conductivity is not apparent in the near surface area and more significant change takes place in the area around mined panels. A zone of strong influence from the subsidence extends to a height of approximately 20m above mined panels. The shear strain does also play the role of increasing a hydraulic conductivity around mined panels. As RMR of rock mass decreases, a hydraulic conductivity is found to be increased and this means that subsidence in a poor rock with low RMR has a great effect on a hydraulic conductivity field.

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

The numerical simulations of Heater Experiment-D (HE-D) at the Mont Terri rock laboratory in Switzerland were performed to investigate an applicability of FLAC3D to reproduce the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour in Opalinus Clay, as part of the DECOVLEX-2015 project Task B. To investigate the reliability of numerical simulations of the coupled behaviour using FLAC3D code, the simulation results were compared with the observations from the in-situ experiment, such as temperature at 16 sensors, pore pressure at 6 sensors, and strain at 22 measurement points. An anisotropic heat conduction model, fluid flow model, and transversely isotropic elastic model in FLAC3D successfully represented the coupled thermo-hydraulic behaviour in terms of evolution for temperature and pore pressure, however, performance of the models for mechanical behavior is not satisfactory compared with the measured strain.

불연속체 해석을 이용하여 터널 안정성 해석을 수행할 경우 해석 결과는 절리 모델의 선택에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 이용한 불연속체 터널 안정성 해석에 있어 BB 모델 적용시의 해석 결과와 MC 모델 적용시의 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 주어진 응력 조건과 터널 형상에 따른 암반의 변형 거동을 규명하기 위하여 불연속체 해석 결과와 연속체 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 연속체 해석결과와 BB 모델을 사용한 불연속체 해석 결과는 변위 및 응력 분포는 비슷한 양상을 보이는 반면, MC 모델을 사용한 불연속체 해석결과는 이와 다른 양상을 보였다. 또한 MC 모델을 사용하여 불연속체 해석을 실시할 경우 절리의 영향을 명시적으로 고려하였음에도 불구하고 연속체 해석 결과에 비해 변위 및 최소 주응력이 더 작게 발생할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 MC 모델이 실제 절리의 변형거동 특성을 현실적으로 모사할 수 없기 때문에 발생되는 결과이며, 특히 절리면의 전단거동에 무관하게 팽창각을 일정한 상수로 취급하는 MC 모델의 특성으로 인한 결과이다.

This paper describes the design and construction aspects of time-dependent deformation test apparatus for slut.oiling rocks and presents the test results obtained using these apparatus. These tests are modified semi-confined swell test, swell test under uniaxial tension and swell test under biaxial stress. These apparatus measure the time.dependent deformations in three orthogonal directions of the test specimen under simplified field stress conditions. The test results obtained from these test apparatus for the last several years show that these apparatus have performed satisfactorily. The test results show that the time-dependent deformation behaviour of the Queenston shale is cross-anisotropic with higher swelling in the vertical direction (normal to bedding plane) than in horizontal direction (parallel to bedding plane) under free swell condition. The applied stress in one direction suppresses the swelling deformation in that direction as well as that in the orthogonal directions.

Four road tunnels, which consists of biotite gneiss and granite gneiss and shows a similar geological conditions, were selected in this study. Laboratory and field tests, the rock mass rating for the four tunnels were conducted. A regression analysis was performed to find out the correlations of test results. It was proposed an equation of reduction factor which can assess the deformation modulus for biotite gneiss and granite gneiss. It was also found that there was a close correlation between Q and RQD in four tunnels according to the analysis between RMR and Q, RMR and RQD, Q and RQD and laboratory and field tests.

Loads on the pillar and ground deformation in 2-arch tunnel, which is excavated in the rock mass with regular discontinuities, depending on the dips of discontinuities and the construction sequences were experimentally studied. Large scale model tests in the biaxial test facility were performed. Tested model (width 3.3m, height 3.0m, and length 0.45m) for 2-arch tunnel in 1/10 scale were built with various dips. Test results show that discontinuities have greate affects on the behavior of the 2-arch tunnel, especially on the pillar loads and ground deformation.

Hydraulic fracturing is an important and abundant process in both industrial applications and natural environments. The formation of hydraulic fractures includes nucleation, growth, and termination in numerous rock types and stress regimes, at scales ranging from microns to many kilometers. As a result, fracture segmentation, commonly observed at all scales and in all geo-materials, contributes to this complexity in many ways. In particular, the mechanical interaction of fracture segments strongly affect almost all hydraulic fracturing processes. In this paper, the segmented fracture opening deformation in rock by hydraulic fracturing is quantified using boundary collocation method and is compared with non-interacting single fracture.
