Engineering Geology를 필자는 지질공학(地質工學)이라 한다. 지질공학은 지반(地盤)의 토질 및 암석의 거동을 역학적인 관점에서의 지질역학(地質力學, Mechanical Geology)과 공학적 판단을 가하여 실제의 공사 등에 응용되는 기초학문이다. 이 분야에서의 중요 부분은 토목 시공 과정 또는 시공후에 발생할수 있는 지질적 문제(지질약선대의 문제 및 지질역학적 문제)등 에 대한 조사연구인 것이다. 따라서 지질공학자는 암반의 기계적인 응답에 대한 요소들을 지질도에 표시하여 시공상의 문제점을 검토, 연구하여 착공여부를 결정하고 지반보강 또는 지질개선을 실시케한다. 문제 중 지반의 거동은 물질 자체의 성질과 불연속성면에 있다. 물질자체의 성질은 입자의 크기에 있고 구조적 집합성에 있는 것이다. 불연속성면은 미세한 균열에서 거대한 단층면에 이르기까지 존재하며, 구조지질역학적 성격에 있다.

불연속면 또는 단열은 암반 내의 역학적 분리면을 통칭하는 것으로서 암반 내의 작은 흠집이나 물리적으로 불균질한 곳이나 불연속면 주위에 응력이 집중되어 초래되는 변형의 결과이다. 불연속면은 정압, 지체구조적, 그리고 열적 응력 및 높은 수압에 반응하여 형성되며, 아주 미세한 것부터 대륙 규모에 걸쳐 다양한 크기로 발달한다. 불연속면은 연속체로서의 암반을 물리적으로 분리시키기 때문에 그 자체로서 역학적인 약대에 해당되고, 지하수의 유동 통로의 기능도 하기 때문에 지질공학, 지반공학 및 수리지질학 실무에서 매우 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 경제적으로 중요한 석유, 지열 및 수자원 저류체 역시 단열 암반 내에 형성된다. 불연속면은 오염물질의 이동과 분산을 제어할 뿐만 아니라 암반을 기초로 하거나 대상으로 하는 공학적 구조물과 굴착의 안정성에도 역시 영향을 미친다.

Face mapping during tunnel construction is useful and critical to predict the characteristics and stability condition of following tunneling sections and to select optimum support pattern. Therefore, a detailed geological survey of the tunnel faces, as important as a routine underground survey and a RMR evaluation, should provide critical information of the tunnel face condition in terms of the engineering geological condition and the safety of working environment for the following tunneling section. But the results of the face investigation have not been applied satisfactorily during tunneling due to limitation of technique, experience and time. This study analyze problems of face mapping in tunnel construction site by using statistical results of face mapping sheets obtained from completed tunnels, and suggest several opinions to improve face mapping during tunnel construction.

To develop site characterization technologies for a radioactive waste disposal research in KAERI, the geological and hydrogeological investigations have been carried out since 1997. In 2006, the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) was constructed to study a solute migration, a microbiology and an engineered barrier system as well as deeply to understand geological environments in in-situ condition. This study is performed as one of the site characterization works around KURT. Several investigations such as a lineament analysis, a borehole/tunnel survey, a geophyscial survey and logging in borehole, were used to construct the geological model. As a result, the geological model is constructed, which includes the lithological model and geo-structural model in this study. Moreover, from the results of the in-situ hydraulic tests, the hydrogeological properties of elements in geological model were evaluated.

암반 불연속면에 대한 조사는 국제 암반역학회(ISRM)에서 추천하는 조사법이 합리적으로 불연속면이 특성을 기재할 수 있는 방안이기 때문에 널리 적용되고 있다 그러나, 이 안에서는 조사결과를 공학적 의미가 있는 암반특성치로 변환하는 방안에 대한 언급이 없다. 본고에서는 지질기술자들이 불연속면조사시 주로 사용하는 ISRM 추천안인 제시한 조사항목에 토목기술자들이 주로 사용하는 RMR 혹은 Q-system 분류안의 정량적인 값을 적용할 수 있을 지를 검토하였다. 이에 대한 관련기술자들의 관심이 모여질 때 정량적인 인자에 기초한 ISRM 조사법에 부합되는 암반분류안의 구축도 가능하리라 생각된다.

Conventional geological survey utilizes the manual compass for mass amount of measurements of the geologic structure. Portable multifunction digital compass system was required by more detailed geological survey, due to increasing construction for rock slopes and runnels. In this paper, the system was implemented by using Intel PXA 255 embedded board as a system controller, and was composed of tilting sensor, digital azimuth sensor, and Global Positioning System (GPS) module. After the measured location, strike, and the angle of dip with our implemented system were transmitted to Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or notebook, these data could be used for geologic structure analysis. It is expected that the availability of cheap and improved digital compass will reduce the coast and time of geological survey extensively.

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.

In relation to the high-level radioactive waste disposal project in deep fractured rock aquifer environments, it is essential to evaluate hydrogeological characteristics for evaluating the suitability of the site and operational stability. Such subsurface hydrogeological data is obtained through in-situ tests using boreholes excavated at the target site. The accuracy and reliability of the investigation results are directly related to the selection of appropriate test methods, the performance of the investigation system, standardization of the investigation procedure. In this report, we introduce the detailed procedures for the representative test method, the constant pressure injection test (CPIT), which is used to determine the key hydrogeological parameters of the subsurface fractured rock aquifer, namely hydraulic conductivity and storativity. This report further refines the standard test method suggested by the KSRM in 2022 and includes practical field application case conducted in volcanic rock aquifers where this investigation procedure has been applied.

This study was carried out to understand the relationship between orientation of tecto-lineaments obtained from aero-photograph and orientation of discontinuities measured at field for the rock types of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks in Andong area. Total 847 tecto-lineaments were extracted from the aero-photographs and total 1,940 discontinuities including joints, foliations and faults were measured during geologic survey. By using the software DIPS, preferred trends of tecto-lineaments were deduced as N30E-N40E for igneous rocks and N50E-N60E for both sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, while the trends of discontinuities were found as N40E-N50E for igneous rocks, N50E-N80E for sedimentary rocks and N50E-N60E for meta morphic rocks. Even though both orientations for a given rock type showed relatively good agreement in its trend, some discrepancy is also appeared. Since construction safety of geo-structures such as tunnel and slope, etc., is significantly affected by the orientation of discontinuities in rock masses, it is highly recommended to perform a detailed geologic survey as well as an aero-photograph interpretation at a design stage.
