시추공의 구간별 수리전도를 추정하는 방법으로는 수압시험(packer test)이 많이 이용되는데 최근에는 유속측정기(flowmeter)를 이용한 시추공 검층법이 개발되어 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 열원(heat-pulse) 공급 방식의 유속측정기를 이용하여 공주대학 교내에 설치된 시추공에서 자연 유속(ambient flow) 및 양수 유발 유속(pump-induced flow)을 측정하였으며, 자료를 분석하여 수리전도도의 수직적인 분포를 산정하였다. 분석 결과는 수압시험에 의해 산정된 수리전도도의 분포와 잘 일치하였으며, BIPS에 의해 촬영된 시추공 영상 자료와 비교함으로써 지하수 유동과 관련된 투수성 단열(conductive fracture) 들의 수직적인 위치를 정확하게 파악할 수 있었다. 분석 결과는 암반 대수층 내에 발달된 단열망(fracture network)에 대한 3차원적인 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 이는 효과적인 지하수 모니터링, 모델링, 및 정화 설계(remedial design)에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

New building methods are needed to aid increased inner-city redevelopment and industrial construction. A particular area of improvement is the efficient use of cut slopes, with the minimization of associated problems. A retaining wall of precast panels can resist the horizontal earth pressure by increasing the shear strength of the ground and reinforcing it through contact with the panels. Precast panels allow quick construction and avoid the problem of concrete deterioration. Other problems to be solved include the digging of borrow pits, the disposal of material cut from the slope, and degradation of the landscape caused by the exposed concrete retaining wall.This study suggest the methods of improvement of an existing precast panel wall system by changing the appearance of the panels to that of natural rock and improving the process of adhering the panel to a vertical slope. The panels were tested in the laboratory and in the field. The laboratory test verified their specific strength and behavior, and the field test assessed the panels' ground adherence at a vertical cutting. Reinforcement of the cutting slope was also measured and compared with the results of 3D numerical analysis. The results of laboratory test, identified that the shear bar increase the punching resistance of panel. And as a results of test construction, identified the construct ability and field applicability of the panel wall system adhered to in-situ ground. In addition to that, extended measurement and numerical analysis, identified the long-term stability of panel wall system adhered to in-situ ground.

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.

In underground spaces including nuclear waste repository, prediction of air quantity, temperature/humidity and pollutant concentration is utmost important for space construction and management during the normal state as well as for determining the measures in emergency cases such as underground fires. This study aims at developing a model for underground space environment which has capabilities to take into account the effects of autocompression for the natural ventilation head calculation, to find the optimal location and size of fans and regulators, to predict the temperature and humidity by calculating the convective heat transfer coefficient and the sensible and latent heat transfer rates, and to estimate the pollutant levels throughout the network. The temperature/humidity prediction model was applied to a military storage underground space and the relative differences of dry and wet temperatures were 1.5 ~ 2.9% and 0.6 ~ 6.1%, respectively. The convection-based pollutant transport model was applied to two different vehicle tunnels. Coefficients of turbulent diffusion due to the atmospheric turbulence were found to be 9.78 and 17.35$m^2$/s, but measurements of smoke and CO concentrations in a tunnel with high traffic density and under operation of ventilation equipment showed relative differences of 5.88 and 6.62% compared with estimates from the convection-based model. These findings indicate convection is the governing mechanism for pollutant diffusion in most of the tunnel-type spaces.

The grid-type or room-and-pillar method is applied for the purpose of mining horizontally buried minerals. In this study, design and pilot test were performed to apply the room-and-pillar method which uses natural rock as a rock pillar to the construction of underground space. The area where the pilot test was conducted was in stone mine and had good rock conditions with an appropriate depth (about 30 m) to apply the pilot test. The pilot test site was selected by reviewing accessibility and ground conditions and then site construction was performed through detailed ground investigation and design. The pilot test was designed with a column shape of 8×8 m and a cross-section of 8×12 m. The blasting pattern was determined through test blasting at the site, and blasting of 3 m excavation with 89 holes was performed. Through field observations, the average width of 12.5 m and the average height of 8.3 m were measured. Therefore, it is possible to proceed similar to the cross-sectional shape considered in the design.

One of the major elements of a natural landslide is the increase of the pore water pressure in a weakened layer. Therefore, the measurement of the pore water pressure in the layer is important. This work is a laboratory model study of the measurement of the pore water pressure with regard to the confined groundwater level, the permeability of the crack zone and the weathering degree of the weakened layer. By the model of the Tertiary period failure type and the Colluvium failure type, the reactions of the pore air pressure and the pore water pressure were measured in the weakened layer according to the permeability of the filter on the condition of the confined groundwater states. On the reaction phase of the pore pressure according to the during time, the Tertiary period failure type proved to be a step type and the Colluvium failure type turned out to be a wave type. The reaction ratios of the pore water pressure in the Tertiary period failure type are higher than the Colluvium failure type, decrease according to increasing of the weathering degree of the weakened layer.

Force induced by the natural ventilation in tunnel is likely to generate adverse influences on the airflow during the normal operation and create even more unfavorable circumstances during the tunnel fire. The influence of the natural ventilation is required to take into account in designing and operating the ventilation as well as safety systems. The magnitude of natural ventilation force depends on a variety of factors associated with the topographical, meteorological and physical features of tunnel. Unfortunately, at this moment those are difficult to quantify and none of the countries has suggested its estimation method in the design guideline. This study aims at quantifying the natural ventilation force at a local highway tunnel by three different methods. The first method employes direct measurement of the pressure at portals, while the second applies a stepwise approach to eliminate the piston effect ahead of deriving the natural ventilation force and the third method uses the concept of barometric barrier.

터널 설계에 있어 갱구부의 위치 및 갱문형식의 선정은 터널 및 갱구사면의 안정성뿐만 아니라, 주위환경과의 조화 및 자연환경 훼손 최소화 등과 같은 환경적인 측면에서도 매우 중요한 부분이다. 현행 국내의 경우 경제성과 시공성 위주의 갱구부 위치 선정으로 과다 절취구간이 발생되어 환경훼손, 민원문제 발생, 과다한 용지 매입비용 등의 여러 가지 부작용이 발생되고 있다. 또한, 갱문 형식의 선정에 있어서 갱구부의 지형여건 및 제반 환경적 영향을 고려하지 않고 원통절개형과 면벽식 갱문의 획일적인 적용으로 주변지형과의 부조화를 이루는 사례가 다수 발생하고 있으며, 갱구부 상단의 유실된 토석이 완충공간의 부족으로 도로 노면상에 낙하되는 사고가 발생하고 있어 그에 대한 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 보완하기 위해 갱구부 절취구간 최소화를 위한 구체적인 최소토피고 기준을 마련하였으며, 갱구상단 지형경사의 완급, 갱문주위의 배수기능, 낙석${\cdot}$산사태 등의 발생가능성 등을 고려한 새로운 갱문형식을 제안하고 체계적인 검토를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 점차 강화되는 환경보호정책 방향에 부응하고 자연환경 훼손을 최소화하며, 특히 해빙기와 집중호우시 낙석${\cdot}$눈사태로부터 도로의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 터널 갱문부 설계기준을 제시하였다. 또한, 실제 고속도로 터널의 설계 적용사례를 통하여 본 설계기준의 적용성을 분석하였으며, 실제 갱문 시공사례를 소개하여 향후 설계 및 시공에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

Microcracks in rock materials, whether natural or induced, provide useful information on the engineering performance of in situ rockmasses. A population of preferentially oriented microcracks has observable effects on the physical properties of a rockmass, but their effects may not be evident if the rock material is highly anisotropic due to other causes. An experimental program was undertaken to investigate the effect of rock fabrics on the physical properties of rock materials. In this study, anisotropy in the circumferential wave velocity and the direction of induced fractures under axial point loading were measured. Rock specimens (NX-size) of the leucocractic Pocheon granite were cored from rock blocks, retaining the relative directions of each specimen. Another set of specimens was prepared from the rock cores of the same meterial, obtained in the field. The master orientation line (MOL) was set to be the representative direction of the microcracks in the specimen. Variation of the circumferential wave velocity of each specimen was then measured along the core, keeping the MOL as reference. The direction of the minimum wave velocity was nearly perpendicular to the direction of the MOL. Coring of smaller-sized (EX-size), concentric specimens from the NX specimens were then followed, and axial point loading was applied. The direction of induced fractures due to axial point loading was closely related to the MOL direction, confirming the prior test result.
