As an alternative to conventional explosive methods for demolition of concrete structures and rocks, the use of non-explosive demolition agents can be considered to reduce noise, vibration, and dust emissions during the demolition process. In this study, we conduct finite element analysis for crack initiation and propagation caused by the expansion of non-explosive demolition agents in square concrete structures. The predicted crack patterns are compared with the experimental results in the literature. The minimum values of the required expansion pressure of non-explosive demolition agents are also estimated, which depend upon the arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of empty holes on the fragmentation of concrete structures, and discuss the effective arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes for fragmentation improvement.

Rock Weathering is a basic of geomorphological evolution as a preparation of materials. Of those, frost shattering has traditionally been considered as the operative process causing rock breakdown in cold regions as well as temperate zone. Each Granite(fresh rock, semi-weathered), Gneiss, Limestone, Dolomite was prepared slab specimens in ten, repeated freeze-thaw cycles of 180 under the -25℃~+30℃, and the changes was observed in physical properties and weathering aspect. Rock shattering was more active in waterlogging conditions rather than atmospheric and soil conditions. Limestone and Dolomite that high porosity are most severely crushed. Gneiss, regardless surface of the crack, joint, fissure and has a lowest rock strength(SHV), was even though no physical changes and their weathering product do not generate, has a very high resistance to weathering.

연구지역은 경남 양산시 상북면 삼삼리 일원으로 양산단층과 인접하며 급한 경사의 자연사면으로 이루어져 있다. 수치지형자료를 이용하여 고도값을 갖는 자료층을 추출한 후 10m$\times$10m 크기의 격자별로 DEM으로 변환하고, 이로부터 단위 격자의 경사도, 경사방향도, 음영도를 작성하고 흐름분배 알고리즘을 이용하여 설정된 격자별로 상부사면의 기여면적과 습윤지수를 산정하였다. 높은 습윤지수를 보이는 지역은 북서-남동 방향의 선형구조로 나타나며, 국소지역의 전단단열 특성과 일치한다. 한편 연구지역에서 전기비저항 탐사를 실시하여 높은 습윤지수를 나타내는 지역과 저비저항 이상대의 분포를 비교한 결과 습윤지수가 높은 지역은 모두 낮은 전기비저항 이상대로 관찰된다. 즉 습윤지수는 암석의 화학적 풍화를 수반하는 파쇄대의 분포와 일치하며 이를 토대로 국소지역에서 파쇄대의 예측과 암석의 안정성을 예측하는 방법으로 이용될 수 있다.

Hydraulic fracturing is used as a method for promoting the fluid flow in the rock and, in the energy field such as geothermal development and the development of sales gas, many studies has been actively conducted. In many cases, hydraulic fracturing is not performed in isotropic rock and especially in the case of sedimentary rocks, hydraulic fracturing is conducted in the transverse isotropic rock. The direction of the crack growth on hydraulic fracturing does not necessarily coincides with the direction of maximum principal stress in the transverse isotropic rock. Therefore, in this study, bonded particle model with hydro-mechanical coupling analysis was adopted for analyzing the characteristics of hydraulic fracturing in transverse isotropic rock. In addition, experiments of hydraulic fracturing were conducted in laboratory-scale to verify the validity of numerical analysis. In this study, the crack growth and crack patterns showed significant differences depending on the viscosity of injection fluid, the angle of bedding plane and the influence of anisotropy. In the case of transverse isotropic model, the shear crack growth due to hydraulic fracturing appeared prominently.

To elucidate the effects of flow rate on the hydraulic fracturing property of andesite, the hydraulic fracturing tests were conducted under three flow rates. As the tests are conducted with 1ml/min, 2ml/min and 3 ml/min under the constant axial load of 40 kN, the breakdown pressures of andesite seem to be constant as 163kg/cm$^2$. The hydraulic fracturing tests were carried out under the temperatures of five stages to elucidate the effects of temperature variation on hydraulic fracturing property of granite. As the tests are carried out under the constant flow rate of 1.7ml/min, with the axial load of 40kN, the breakdown pressures of granite are 168kg/cm$^2$ at room temperature, and 124kg/cm$^2$ at 20$0^{\circ}C$. The breakdown pressure decreases about 25% than that of room temperature with increasing the temperature. Under the controlled flow rates, the initiation pressures of the microcracks of granite are well coincided with the breakdown pressures and these results are also confirmed by the levels of acoustic emission.

With the upcoming 4^th industrial revolution era, the applications of artificial intelligence(AI) and big data in engineering are increasing. In the field of blasting, there have been various reported cases of the application of AI. In this paper, AI techniques, such as artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, generic algorithm, swarm intelligence, and support vector machine, which are widely applied in blasting area, are introduced, The studies about the application of AI for the prediction of ground vibration, rock fragmentation, fly rock, air overpressure, and back break are surveyed and summarized. It is for providing starting points for the discussion of active application of AI on effective and safe blasting design, enhancing blasting performance, and minimizing the environmental impact due to blasting.

소음진동 규제법의 강화, 각종 건설민원 발생 및 안전강화 관리 차원에서 현재 국내 터파기 현장 및 각종 토공사에서 종래 시행되어지던 발파공법만으로 시행하는 것은 곤란하다. 건설교통부 설계 지침에서도 진동 규제치의 차이를 두어 파쇄와 발파와의 차이를 확연히 구분하는 실정이다. 기존에 발파는 그 경험이 많아 효과적인 방법 등이 널리 알려져 있지만 파쇄의 경우는 그 시공사례가 많지 않아 그 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 건교부에서 제시한 암파쇄굴착공법에 사용되어지는 미진동 파쇄기에 대한 연구로써 연암, 보통암, 경암지역에서의 전색제, 적정 패턴, 진동 특성 등을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 시험은 크게 1, 2 타입으로 구분하여 실시하였으며 1타입의 경우는 천공장이 1.5m(180g 장약)이고, 2타입의 경우는 2.5m(360g)이다. 두 패턴을 기본으로 저항선, 공간격을 달리하여 시험을 진행하면서 그에 따르는 진동 및 파쇄정도의 차이를 관찰할 수 있었으며 암석 강도별 예상 진동식을 제안하였다.

Stereophotogrammetry is used to extract spatial information of an object by constructing a stereo-image from two or more photos. In this study, stereophotogrammetry was adopted for analyzing blast fragmentation of rock blocks in a quarry site. 2D image processing and stereophotogrammetry were applied to the fragmentation analysis of rock blocks horizontally scattered in a laboratory, and their results were compared with physical measurements using a water tank. Fragmentation of rock muckpiles was estimated in laboratory and field tests by using the stereophotogrammetry and statistical analysis.

In this study, the fracture mechanics model as well as the elastic model was reviewed theoretically and four field case studies were conducted to investigate the feasibility of fracture mechanics model for hydraulic fracturing test. There was a difference between the result by fracture mechanics model and the one by elastic model. And the smaller initial crack length is, the larger the difference is. It is considered that the fracture mechanics model can be applied to the specific case of which the crack length is known. In this study, the rock tensile strength is measured using fracture mechanics model, brazilian test and elastic model. The measured tensile strength by the fracture mechanics model is the largest and the elastic model is the smallest. This result is due to the size effect of the each test. And the tensile strength from the elastic model for hydraulic fracturing test can be used to estimate the in-situ rock tensile strength.

일반적으로 국내 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 20ms나 25ms 시차를 가지는 지발발파로 시행되어지고 있다. 국외에서는 전자뇌관을 사용하여 암반의 지질학적인 특성에 따라 지발 시차를 사용자의 현장에 따라 선정하여, 주변 보안 물건에 따른 진동 및 소음을 경감하면서, 1회 발파의 생산량을 증대할 수 있으며, 2차 파쇄 비용 및 적재비용을 절감하는 최적의 시차를 적용하여 발파 규모를 줄이지 않는 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 해외에서 사용되고 있는 전자뇌관을 국내 현장 석회석 광산(단양)에 적용함으로 최적지연시차를 찾아내는 방법과 초시의 오차에 따른 문제점과 향후 국내 적용성을 판단하고자 하였다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 최적시차를 판단하고자 동일 패턴에서 시차를 6ms ~ 30ms로 시험발파를 시행하여 4가지 요소 발파진동속도, 주 주파수특성, 파쇄입도, 암석 이동 및 버력의 상태를 분석하여 각 시차에 따른 배점을 두어, 당 현장에 요구되는 개별 가중치를 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 당 현장에서의 발파결과에 따른 요소별 가중치를 발파진동속도(20), 주 주파수 특성(20), 파쇄입도(40), 암석 이동(10) 및 버력의 상태(10)로 하여 분석한 결과 15ms가 최적시차로 나타냈다. 향후 각 현장에 적합한 요소별 가중치를 선정하여 현장별 최적시차를 도출한다면 최적의 발파효과를 있을 것으로 판단된다.
