The influence of in-situ rock stress on the stability of an underground rock structure increases as the construction depth become deeper and the scale of a rock structure become larger. In general, hydraulic fracturing stress measurement has been performed in the surface boreholes of the target area at the design stage of an underground structure. However, for some areas where the high horizontal stresses were observed or where the overstressed conditions caused by topographical and geological factors are expected, it is desirable to conduct additional in-situ stress measurement in the underground construction site to obtain more detailed stress information for ensuring the stability of a rock structure and the propriety of current design. The study area was a construction site for the additional underground oil storage facility located in the south-east part of OO city, Jeollanam-do. Previous detailed site investigation prior to the design of underground structures revealed that the excessive horizontal stress field with the horizontal stress ratio(K) greater than 3.0 was observed in the construction area. In this study, a total of 13 hydraulic fracturing stress measurements was conducted in two boreholes drill from the two water tunnel sites in the study area. The investigation zone was from 180 m to 300 m in depth from the surface and all of the fracture tracing works were carried out by acoustic televiewer scanning. For some testing intervals at more than 200 m ind depth from surface, the high horizontal stress components the horizontal stress ratio(K) greater than 2.50 were observed. And the overall investigation results showed a good agreement with the previously performed test.

Nowadays, the blast method is mainly operated in the fields of the rock excavation accompanied by construction site in Korea. Blast method has many merits such as improvement of workability, reducement of operation period, and etc. However, blast operation also create much loss and troubles with the neighbours for the environmental pollutions such as the noise, blast vibration, fly rocks and dusts. Thus, the non-vibration and shallow vibration methods have been used but they have also another problems in the view of the economy and the efficiency in operation. In this study, we had made laboratory tests for the breaking of the various Rock types by White Light Thermal Stress. The tests shows that one unit consuming 500kilowatts of electricity, would go 90 feet a day in tunneling if the tunnel was 16 feet by 16 feet. Also, if a faster rate of tunneling could be handled, other white light units could be added.

조석에 의한 지하수위변동이 발생하는 해안가 암반대수층에서 고조(high tide)과 저조(low tide) 조건에서의 차이를 규명하기 위한 양수시험이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 양수시험이 수행된 시험대 수층은 암반층으로서 시험공들은 해안가에서 약 180 m 이격되어 있으며, 양수정(MW1공)과 관측정(MW2공)의 이격거리는 8.05 m 이다. 양수정과 관측정 모두 공 내경은 0.205 m 이며, 케이싱심도는 지표면하 19 m 정도이다. 그리고, 양수정과 관측정의 지하수위는 지표면하 5 m 정도에 형성 되어 있으며, 시험대수층의 두께는 약 40 m 정도이다. 양수시험은 총 3회 수행되었으며, 모든 시험에서 수중모터 설치심도는 지표면하 30 m 이고 양수율은 $75\;m^3/day$로서 동일하였다. 그러나, 양수시작 시간의 차이를 두어 고조 후 1회(1차 시험), 저조 후 2회(2차 및 3차 시험) 수행되었다. 양수정과 관측정에서 자동수위측정기(Model 3001, Solinst)를 설치하여 관측된 지하수위변동 자료에 의하면, 조석현상 발생 후 시험공 내 지하수위변동 경과시간은 고조(high tide) 후 2시간, 저조 (low tide) 후 1시간 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 양수시험 시 1차 시험은 고조 후 2시간 경과한 시점에서, 2차 및 3차 시험은 저조 후 1시간 경과한 시점에서 양수가 시작되었다. 양수시험에 의한 경과시간에 따른 수위강하량 그래프에서는 고조조건이 저조조건에 비해 수위강하량이 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 원인은 저조에 비해 고조 조건에서는 해수에 의한 지하수위가 상승하여, 동일한 양수조건에서 수위강하량이 적게 나타난 것이다. 양수시험 자료가 AQTESOLV 3.5 프로그램을 이용하여 해석되었다. Theis method에 의해 산정된 수리전도도는 고조 조건의 양수시험에서는 $4.159{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$, 저조 후에서는 각각 $3.818{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$와 $3.926{\times}10^{-6}\;m/sec$ 이었다. 저조 후에 비해 고조 후의 수리전도도가 5% 이상 높은 것으로 산정되었다. 이상의 연구 결과들에 의해, 해안가 암반대수층에서는 양수시험 시 조석효과에 의한 수리적인 변동을 고려한 설계와 해석이 수행되어야함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The stability of rock slope is mainly controlled by the orientation and shear strength of discontinuties in rock mass. Therefore, in kinematic analysis, the orientation of the combination of discontinuities and slope face is examined to determine if certain modes of failure can be occurred. In previous kinematic analysis, a representative orientation of the slope face and mean orientation of discontinuity set were used as input parameters. However, since the orientations of slope face varies according to locations of measurement, the representative slope face orientation could cause misunderstanding for kinematic instability. In addition, since the orientations of each discontinuity are scattered in the same discontinuity set, there is the possibility that uncertainties are involved in the procedure of kinematic analysis. Therefore, in this study, the detailed digital topographic map was used to obtain the orientation of slope face. In addition, the probabilistic analysis approach was utilized to deal properly with the uncertainties in discontinuity orientation. The proposed approach was applied to steep slopes in mountain road located in Baehuryeong, Chunncheon city, Gangwon-Do. The analysis results obtained from the deterministic and probabilistic analysis were compared to check the feasibility of proposed the analysis.

The development of an excavation damaged zone, EDZ, due to the blasting impact and stress redistribution after excavation, can influence on the long tenn stability, economy, and safety of the underground excavation. In this study, the size and characteristics of an EDZ around an underground research tunnel, which was excavated by controlled blasting, in KAERI were investigated. The results were implemented into the modelling for evaluating the influence of an EDZ on hydro-mechanical behavior of the tunnel. From in situ tests at KURT, it was possible to determine that the size of EDZ was about l.5rn. Goodman jack tests and laboratory tests showed that the rock properties in the EDZ were changed about 50% compared to the rock properties before blasting. The size and property change in the EDZ were implemented to a hydro-mechanical coupling analysis. In the modeling, rock strengths and elastic modulus were assumed to be decreased 50% and. the hydraulic conductivity was increased 1 order. From the analysis, it was possible to see that the displacement was increased while the stress was decreased because of an EDZ. When an EDZ was considered in the model, the tunnel inflow was increased about 20% compared to the case without an EDZ.

Bathymetry, side scan sonar, and magnetic survey data for the summit area of Dokdo obtained by Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute in 1999, 2004, and 2007 were analyzed to investigate the geophysical characteristics of the summit. Bathymetry and topographic data for the summit of Dokdo show uneven seabed and irregular undulations from costal line to -90 m in water depth, indicating the effects of partial erosions and taluses. The stepped slope in the bathymetry is supposed to be a coastal terrace suggesting repetition of transgressions and regressions in the Quaternary. The bathymetry and the side scan sonar data show a small crater, assumed to be formed by post volcanisms, at depth of $-100\;{\sim}\;-120\;m$ in the northeastern and the northwestern parts of the survey area. Except some areas with shallow sand sedimentary deposits, there are rocky seafloor and lack of sediments in the side scan sonar images of the survey area, dominantly. The analytic signal of the magnetic anomaly coincides with other geophysical results regarding to the location of the residual crater. The geophysical constraints of the summit of Dokdo propose that the islets and the rocky seabed elongated northeastward and northwestward from the islets might be the southern crater of the Dokdo volcano.

In step-by-step site selection for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, parameters necessary for site selection will be acquired through deep drilling surveys from the basic survey stage. Unlike site investigations of rock mass structures such as tunnels and underground oil storage facilities, those related to the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste are not only conducted in relatively deep depths, but also require a high level of quality control. In this report, based on the 750 m depth drilling experience conducted to acquire the parameters necessary for deep geological disposal, the methodology for deep drilling and the geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrogeology and rock mechanics obtained before, during, and after deep drilling are discussed. The procedures for multidisciplinary geoscientific investigations were briefly described. Regarding in-situ stress, one of the key evaluation parameter in the field of rock engineering, foreign and domestic cases related to the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste were presented, and variations with depth were presented, and matters to be considered or agonized in acquiring evaluation parameters were mentioned.

Monitoring technology based on electrical resistivity is widely used for non-destructive data collection and health analysis of underground structures and tunnels. Vulnerable sections such as fault zone generates many problems during construction of the tunnel. These problems cause displacement and stress changes of the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the state of the fault zone section to ensure the mechanical stability of the underground structure. Monitoring the size of joints and the porosity of the fillings is essential for rocks. Previous studies have not considered the variety of fillings in rock joints. In this study, electrical resistivity tests were conducted according to the particle mixing state of the sandy fillings. When the size of fillings is decreased at the constant porosity, the electrical resistivity tends to increase. The results of this study are expected to be useful as basic electrical resistivity data for predicting the ground conditions and evaluation of the ground behavior that is containing sandy fillings in the rock joint for tunnels.

The slope reinforcing method utilized in this paper reinforces the ground overall by means of filling borehole as well as permeating grout material into ground by injecting it through the grouting pipe. In order to reflect these characteristics to design, not only the ground reinforcing effect by the structural material itself but also the ground strength improvement effect by the grouting injection must be quantitively evaluated. But precedent research of it has been insufficient. Therefore, the slope reinforcing method was applied to the weathered rockmass slope situated in the highway in order to analyze reinforcing effect and the instrumentation of slope was performed. Through analysis of this field test, the slope reinforcing method was proved to be effective and back analysis method based on instrumentation values of slope was proposed to apply to reinforcing design. In this paper, the effectiveness of reinforcing method was certified through proposed back analysis.
