최근 국내에서도 지하공간의 활용성이 부각되면서 다양한 활용방안과 개발구상안이 제시되고 있는데, 이의 실현을 위해서는 지하공간의 합리적 설계, 시공 및 안전유지를 위한 공학적 기술확립이 우선적으로 요구된다. 또한 앞으로 심부 대규모 지하공간개발을 위해서는, 지금까지의 지하천부개발시 중요하게 인식되지 않았던 지하암반의 구조지질적, 역학적, 수리적 특성의 정밀평가가 필요하다. 이러한 현지암반특성 및 특히 지압상태는 기초골격설계와 안정성평가에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소이다. (중략)

Wing and secondary cracks are unique types of cracks observed in rock masses subjected to uniaxial and biaxial compressive loading conditions. In this study, morphological features of wing and secondary cracks developed in gypsum specimens are investigated in the macro and micro scales. Along the path of wing crack, microtensile cracks are observed. Microtensile cracks coalesce with pores and show branch phenomenon. From the onset of the wing crack, multiple initiations of microtensile cracks are observed. Microtensile cracks show tortuous propagation paths and relatively constant aperture of the cracks during the propagation. It is shown that microtensile cracks propagate by splitting failure. At the micro scale, microfsults are observed in the path of the secondary cracks. Along the path of the secondary cracks, separation of grains and conglomerate grains, oblique microfaults, and irregular aperture of microfault are observed. These features show that the secondary cracks are produced in shear mode. The measured sizes of fracture process zone across the propagation direction near the tip of wing and secondary cracks range from 10$\mu{m}$ to 20$\mu{m}$ far wing cracks and from 100$\mu{m}$ to 200$\mu{m}$ for secondary cracks, respectively.

This study applied a hydraulic rock splitting system equipped with a hybrid packer to the bench-cut method. The hybrid packer system is an improvement of the packer developed in previous studies; it is designed efficiently to reduce vibration and noise during rock excavation by combining the two functions of inducing hydraulic fractures using injection pressure and then expanding and extending them using a rubber packer. Field experiments assessed the efficiency of rock excavation with respect to the injection conditions; the adjusted experimental conditions included the distance from the free surface and the test holes drilled at the top of the slope and the injection settings. Using a separation of 5 m left some unexcavated parts, but using a separation of 1 m left no unexcavated parts. The hydraulic fractures generated by the injection pressure developed generally parallel to the free surface and expanded and extended as the rubber packer expanded, thus facilitating bench-cut excavation. For hydraulic rock splitting to be broadly applicable to bench-cut rock excavation, it is important to accumulate results from many field experiments conducted under varying experimental conditions for various types of rockmass.

The techniques for measuring the bulking factor of rock mass in subsidence area have never been well known all over the world. The volumetric expansion ratios obtained from blasting operation were the only way of acquiring the bulking factor of rock mass. The bulking factor of rock mass obtained from blasting operation, however, has been seldom classified in a certain criterion. Also the bulking factor of rock mass can be very dependent upon rock types. In order to overcome this limitation obtained from these reasons, the authors studied the experimental bulking factor of rock mass according to the stacking shapes as well as the overburden stresses. Gneiss, limestone and shale were chosen for testing specimens, and each bulking factor has been measured with laboratory test of applying a constant load on the fragmented rock specimens.

Grain size analysis have been made for the carbonate-detrital mixed sediments on the continental shelf off the southeastern coast of Korea. The detrital components are well-sorted with mean grain size between 2-3 phi. The detrital components are thought to be deposited in the beach environment during the glacial times when the sea level was low, representing typical 'relict' sediments. Most of the carbonate components consist of shell fragments, and are deeply weathered. They are also interpreted as the relict components that were deposited in the shallow marine environment. The carbonate fraction are coarser-grained and poorly sorted compared to the detrital component. The carbonate components are thought to have experienced the continuous environmental control of fragmentation and selective size sorting after the deposition.

Recently, the demand for the dismantling of large-scale industrial structures is increasing, and the construction of restoring the dismantled industrial to their original natural environment is underway. This case was an application of the explosive demolition method to the demolition of a large section turbine foundation structure which structural obsolescence and failure to meet functional requirements. As a result of the explosive demolition, the fracture condition of the turbine foundation was satisfactory, and the explosive demolition was completed without causing any damage to the surrounding facilities.

The purpose of this study is to present an analysis method for the prediction of the change of ground conditions. To this end, three-dimensional convergence displacements is analyzed in several ways to estimate the trend of displacement change. Three-dimensional arching effect is occurred around the unsupported excavation surface including tunnel face when a tunnel is excavated in a stable rock mass. If the ground condition ahead of tunnel face changes or a weak fracture zone exists a specific trend of displacement change is known to be occurred from the results of the existing researches. The existence of a discontinuity, whose change in front of the tunnel face, can be predicted from the ratio of L/C (longitudinal displacement at crown divided by settlement at crown) etc. Therefore, the change of ground condition and the existence of a fracture zone ahead of tunnel face can be predicted by monitoring three-dimensional absolute displacements during excavation, and applying the methodology presented in this study.

There are various types of explosives, and each explosive has different characteristics such as water resistance, energy required for detonation, and crushing power, so understanding the characteristics of explosives is important for safe use and performance improvement. Computer simulation is used indirectly along with various experiments to understand the characteristics of explosives, and a state equation is used to express the explosive detonation process through computer simulation. In this study, the explanation of JWL EOS, which is mainly used among the state equations of explosives, and the cylinder expansion experiment to calculate the coefficient of JWL EOS were implemented as ANSYS AUTODYN and compared and analyzed with the actual experimental results. As a result, an error rate of around 20% occurred, and it was found that the overall change pattern of pressure and energy was consistent with the previously published experimental results.

인공재해와 자연재해로 인해 발생하는 비정상 하중에 의해 국부손상이 발생된 철골 교량 구조물은 추가적인 2차 붕괴의 위험요소들을 내재하고 있어 신속한 전면 해체가 요구된다. 본 시공 사례는 건설실패와 태풍 및 지진으로 국부손상이 발생된 철골 트러스 구조의 교량의 긴급해체를 위해 발파해체 공법을 적용한 사례이다. 철골 부재의 절단을 위해 성형폭약이 필요하지만 현지에서 수급이 불가능한 상태이기 때문에 장약용기를 직접 제작하고 에멀젼 폭약을 충전하여 만든 성형폭약을 이용하여 발파해체에 적용하였다. 직접 제작한 성형폭약을 이용하여 발파해체한 결과 철골 부재가 정확히 절단되면서 교량의 중앙부가 수직자유낙하하고, 교량의 양 끝단은 지지부를 중심으로 회전낙하 하였다. 또한 존치 구조물 및 주변에 피해가 발생하지 않았으며, 발파 후 파쇄 상태는 매우 양호하였다. 이로 인해 직접 제작한 성형폭약의 절단 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, 신속하고 안전하게 국부손상이 발생된 구조물을 해체하였다.

To clarify the distribution of joints and fracture zones in the Cheongju granitic mass, we analyzed drill-core and geophysical well-logging data obtained at two boreholes located 30 m from each other. Lithological properties were investigated from the drill-core data and the samples were classified based on the rock mass rating (RMR) and on rock quality designation (RQD). Subsurface discontinuities within soft and hard rocks were examined by geophysical well-logging and cross-hole seismic tomography. The velocity structures constructed from seismic tomography are well correlated with the profile of bedrock depth, previously mapped from a seismic refraction survey. Dynamic elastic moduli, obtained from full waveform sonic and ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ logging, were interrelated with P-wave velocities to investigate the dynamic properties of the rock mass. Compared with the correlation graph between elastic moduli and velocities for hard rock at borehole BH-1, the correlation points for BH-2 data showed a wide scatter. These scattered points reflect the greater abundance of joints and fractures near borehole BH-2. This interpretation is supported by observations by acoustic televiewer (ATV) and optical televiewer (OTV) image loggings.
