The geostatistical approach was applied to integrate MT (Magneto-telluric) resistivity data and borehole information for the spatial RMR (Rock Mass Rating) evaluation. Generally, resistivity of the subsurface is believed to be positively related to the RMR, thus the resistivity and borehole RMR information was combined in a geostatistical approach. To relate the two different sets of data, we take the MT resistivity data as secondary information and estimate the RMR mean values at unsampled points by identification of the resistivity to the borehole data. Two types of approach are performed for the estimation of RMR mean values. Then the residuals of the RMR values around the borehole sites are geostatistically modeled to infer the spatial structure of difference between real RMR values and estimated mean values. Finally, this geostatistical estimation is added to the previous means. The result applied to a real situation shows prominent improvements to reflect the subsurface structure and spatial resolution of RMR information.

In order to evaluate the physical properties of rock which might serve as a database for both mining and civil works, a lot of laboratory tests for Jecheon limestones were conducted to find unit weight, absorption ratio, porosity, elastic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, poisson's ratio, tensile strength, shore hardness, friction angle and cohesion. On investigation of the mechanical properties of both the gray limestone and the clayey limestone distributed in the studied region, the clayey limestone turned out to have more weak mechanical properties which might come from low unit weight, high absorption ratio and high porosity of rocks. The failure criteria of Jecheon limestones were discussed by means of both Mohr-Coulomb criterion and Hoek-Brown criterion. Regression analyses of the physical properties obtained from a lot of laboratory tests were also conducted by means of both linear and multiple regression analyses.

In this study, we analyzed physical properties of granites and their correlation with rock mass classification methods. The granite samples were obtained from field survey, in-situ borehole tests and laboratory tests for a design phase of various roads, railways and other civil engineering works in Korea. Among the measured physical properties, the results of unit weight, compressive strength, tensile strength, seismic velocity, cohesion, friction angle, elastic modulus and deformation modulus were introduced. We also correlated these properties with the compressive strength. The results of different rock classification method of RQD, RMR, and Q-system against the granites in Korea were compared with each other, and the correlation equations were proposed in a more simplified form. We also derived RMR values using the compressive strength as well as the RQD values of in-situ drilled cores, and estimated the deformation modulus of in-situ rock mass in terms of the RMR values.

도시지역은 수자원 공급의 문제를 해결하기 위해서 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있으나 최근 기상 이변과 같은 문제점들로 인하여 용수 공급이 안정적이지 못한 실정이다. 기후적 영향을 적게 받는 지하수의 경우는 비교적 지속적이고 안정적인 수자원으로 많이 이용되고 있으나 이 또한 관리적인 측면의 여러 가지 문제점으로 인하여 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 도시지역은 지하수이용량이 많아 지하수개발에 대한 명확한 체계가 이루어지지 않으면 과잉양수로 인한 지하수위 저하로 용수부족, 지하수질 악화 등과 같은 지하수 재해를 일으킬 수 있으며 해안지역일 경우 해수침투로 인하여 그 피해가 광범위하고 장기간으로 확산될 수 있다. 따라서 지하수의 개발 및 관리를 위해서는 지하수 유동에 대한 분석이 이루어져야 효율적인 지하수 이용이 가능하다. 도시지역 지하수 유동의 경우 지하수함양과 지하수유출뿐만 아니라 지속적으로 변화하는 요소들인 지하수이용량, 상하수도 누수량, 지하철로 인한 유출량 등과 같은 도시화 요소들도 고려하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 요소들을 명확하게 규명하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 지하수자원의 개발 이용 및 관리가 가장 절실히 필요한 곳이 도시지역이라는 점을 감안하면 지하수 유동 분석에 관한 연구는 반드시 필요하며 수문계측 기술의 향상과 관련 분야에 대한 지속적인 연구들도 함께 이루어져서 해석의 정확도가 높아져야만 원활한 수자원 공급과 효율적인 체계 관리가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역의 지하수유동특성을 살펴보기 위하여 부산광역시 수영구를 대상으로 도시화 요소를 고려한 지하수 모델링을 통하여 지하수 유동을 분석하였다. 정상상태 지하수 유동 모의를 실시한 결과 지하수위는 산지가 분포하고 있는 북서쪽으로 갈수 록 높아지고 수영강과 남해쪽으로 갈수록 낮아지며 지하수 유동도 내륙에서 수영강 및 남해로 유출되고 있는 모습을 나타내었다. 도시화 요소를 고려한 비정상상태 지하수 유동 모의 결과 수영강 및 남해에서 내륙으로 지하수가 유입되는 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 지하수위 또한 내륙으로 갈수록 낮아지는 형상을 나타내고 있었으며 대량의 양수량의 관정이 위치하는 수영로타리 일대와 광안동 지역, 지하철유출량이 많은 망미역 부근, 전력구 터널 공사로 인한 지하수 유출량이 있는 일부지역에서는 급격하게 지하수위가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In recent years, ground subsidence has been frequently occurred by underground cavities due to the excessive groundwater inflow, caused by poor construction and management, during tunnel excavation and underground structure construction. In this study, a numerical model (SEEFLOW3D) was developed to estimate groundwater fluctuations for saturated-unsaturated poros media, evaluates the impact on ground excavation with open cut and non-open cut scenarios. In addition, the visual MODFLOW was applied to demonstrate the verification of the model compared with both results. Our results indicated that the RMSE and NRMSE was obtained to range over -3.95~5.7% and 0.56~4.62%, respectively. The developed model was expected to estimate groundwater discharges and apply analysis tool for optimum design of waterproof wall in future.

The domestic demand of natural gas has increased continuously due to the sudden rise of oil price and regulations on greenhouse gas to global warming. In order to improve the supply security of natural gas market in Korea, the agreement on supply of pipeline natural gas (PNG) in Russia was signed between Gazprom and Korea Gas Corporation in 2008. If the supply plan of Russian natural gas is realized, underground storage facilities would be required in order to balance supply and demand of natural gas because the gas demand is concentrated in the winter. This study investigated the safety of the storage facility in quantitative way considering several design parameters such as gas pressure, depth of the storage cavern, rock condition and in-situ horizontal stress ratio. Two dimensional stress analyses were conducted using axi- symmetry condition to examine the behavior of cavern depending upon suggested design parameters. Results showed that the factor of safety, defined as the ratio of 'shear strength'/'shear stress', was largely affected by the depth, rock class and gas pressure but was insensitive to the coefficient of lateral pressure(Ko).
