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.

Hydraulic fracturing is guaranteed to create or enlarge fracture, so the hydraulically created fracture acts as a conduit in the rock, allowing the groundwater to flow more freely through the fracture system. In a recent study, it showed that 12 wells where hydraulic fracturing was performed increased well production. However, it was estimated not to present representation by rock type due to not enough wells. Therefore, this study was performed to clarify the application of hydraulic fracturing at 19 water wells. Rocks were divided into igneous rocks (9 sites), metamorphic rocks (4 sites), and sedimentary rocks (6 sites) to evaluate representative features. As a result, the average of well yield increases $93.4\%$ in the igneous rocks, $103\%$ in the metamorphic rocks, and $42.2\%$ in the sedimentary rocks. Accordingly, hydraulic fracturing presented in this study provides an effective method for increasing well production

The shut-in pressure calculated in common hydrofracturing test for vertical borehole equals generally to the minimum horizontal principal stress, so it should be considered as an essential parameter for determining the in-situ stress regime around the rock mass. It shows usually an ambiguous value in pressure-time history curves, however, because of the relationship between the behavior of hydraulic fractures and the condition of remote stress regime. In this study, a series of numerical analyses have been carried out to compare several methods for determining the shut-in pressure during hydrofracturing. The hydraulic-mechanical coupling has been applied to numerical analysis for simulating the fracture propagation by hydraulic pressure, and the different discontinuity geometry has been considered in numerical models to examine the effect of numerical element shape on fracture propagation pattern. From the numerical simulations with the four different discontinuity geometries, it was revealed that the shut-in pressure obtained from graphical methods rather than statistical method was relatively small. Consequently a care should be taken in selecting a method for determining the shut-in pressure when a stress anomaly around borehole and a fracture propagation with complicate mechanism are considered.

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.

Since the rock fragmentation from a bench blasting can affect the subsequent processes including loading, hauling and crushing, its control is essential for the assessment of blasting efficiency as well as production cost. In this study, the delay time could be precisely controlled by using electronic detonators. The rock fragmentations resulted from the blastings with different delay times of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10ms per each meter of burden were measured from full scale field tests in a limestone mine. The results showed that the optimum delay time for minimum fragmentation was approximately 6ms/m. From the analysis of fragmentation size distribution, it was possible to find that delay time can be a parameter on rock fragmentation and thus it would be possible to control rock fragmentation by adjusting delay time.

이동장수 먹는샘물 공장부지내에 파쇄대에 위치한 관정에서 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양 시험을 실시하여 대수성 산출 증대효과와 저장 증대효과를 살펴보았다. 인공수압파쇄 시험은 두개의 관정(MW-2, O-7)에 실시하였고, 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험도 다른 두개의 관정(O-7a, MW-7)에 대해서 실시하였다. 또한 대수성 산출능의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양시험 전후에 각각 양수 시험을 실시하여 비양수량, 투수계수, 및 수위강하를 구하였다. 따라서 사전 사후 대수성 시험 비교 결과 인공수압파쇄 시험에서는 평균적으로 약 367 %의 투수계수의 증가율과 271 %의 비양수량의 증가를 나타내었다. 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험 결과 O-7a는 약 110%의 투수계수의 증가와 약 75%의 비양수량의 증가를 보였다. 반면에 MW-7는 거의 변화가 없었다. 인공함양시험은 인공수압파쇄시험보다 낮은 투수계수 증가율을 보이거나 거의 변화를 일으키지 못했지만 주변에 있는 관정에 주입압과 비슷한 양상를 갖는 수위변화를 일으키는 것으로 보아서 함양된 주입수가 주변의 대수층에 널리 퍼져 있을 것으로 추측된다.

Fracture patterns observed in the phyllosilicate-bearing layers of the Mawrth Vallis region are analyzed using High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment image data in order to understand the causes of polygonal fracturing. HiRISE data show that the different mineralogies have distinct surface textures and morphologies. The majority of the nontronite-bearing rocks typically appear to have been heavily eroded and are fractured into irregular shaped blocks with variable size, whereas most of the montmorillonite-bearing rocks have polygons which are relatively consistent in size and shape. The majority of the fracture patterns observed in the nontronite-bearing outcrops are interpreted to be a result of unloading stresses. While the polygonal fractures developed in the montmorillonite-bearing layers appear to be a product of desiccation.

We conducted hydraulic fracturing experiments on cement samples to investigate the dependency of fracture propagation on the viscosity of injection fluid and the in situ stress state. Ten cubic samples (20 cm side length) were produced using cement that was cured in water for more than one month. Samples were placed in a tri-axial compression apparatus with three independent principal stresses. An injection hole was drilled and the sample was hydraulically fractured under a constant injection rate. We measured injection pressures and acoustic emissions (AE) during the experiments, and investigated the fracture patterns produced by hydraulic fracturing. Breakdown pressures increased exponentially with increasing viscosity of the injection fluid. Fracture patterns were dependent on differential stress (i.e., the difference between the major and minor principal stresses). At low differential stress, multiple fractures oriented sub-parallel to the major principal stress axis propagated from the injection hole, and in some samples the fracture orientation changed during propagation. However, at high differential stress, a single fracture propagated parallel to the major principal stress axis. AE results show similar patterns. At low differential stress, AE source locations were more widespread than at high differential stress, consistent with the fracture pattern results. Our study suggests that hydraulic fracturing during shale gas extraction should be performed parallel to the orientation of minimum differential stress.
