지리적으로 이격된 마산과 서부산 지역의 불국사 화강암 분포지에서 정량적인 풍화도를 판별하기 위해 화학적 풍화지수와 등급을 산정하였다. 연구를 위해 채취된 시료에 대해 풍화 생성광물 동정, 전암분석, 산침수에 의한 이온용출 시험을 실시하였으며, 풍화지수와 지형적인 요소와 풍화속도를 고려하여 풍화등급들 산정하였다. 분석 결과 동일한 물리적, 광물학적 특성을 가지고 있으나 풍화에 따라 생성되는 점토광물의 종류와 함량에서 차이를 보여주며, 풍화의 진행 경로과 범위는 매우 상이한 결과를 보여 준다. 이러한 결과는 암석의 풍화가 모암의 조건 외에 지형, 지질구조, 기온, 강수량과 같은 환경적인 요소에 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 것을 의미할 뿐만 아니라 풍화도 산정에서 환경적인 요소에 대한 해석이 반드시 요구된다.

하안단구면을 이루는 퇴적층에 포함되어 있는 퇴적물들은 하안단구가 형성된 시기부터 현재까지 풍화를 받게 된다. 즉, 하안단구 퇴적층의 풍화 기간은 바로 하안단구면의 형성시기부터 현재까지가 되는 것이다 외국의 선행 연구들을 통해 볼 때, 암석의 풍화는 초기에 빠르게 진행되지만, 어느 정도 풍화가 진전되면 풍화의 속도가 점차 늦어진다고 제시되고 있으며, 암석과 토양을 구성하고 있는 풍화에 약한 몇 가지 광물들의 존재 유무와 원소 함량의 변화는 풍화 시간과 매우 긍정적인 상관 관계가 있는 것으로 나타난다. (중략)

Grus weathering mantles are widely distributed in Southern Korean Peninsula and are considered to be results of chemical weathering related to palaeoclimate milieu. This paper attempts to address this issue by CIA(chemical index of alteration). The climatic approach to the formation of grus mantles offers limited explanation of field occurrences, as these materials are widespread across climatic zones, from the humid tropics to cool temperate areas, although rates of grusification are likely to be influenced by climatic parameters. CIA values for granitoid weathering mantles in S. Korea are 50, which is the same of unweathered granitic rocks. Grus mantles in Korean peninsula show very low level in chemical alteration by CIA.

It is very difficult to capture the weathering characteristics of rock because of limitation caused by time and space. A new scheme of experiment that includes physical and chemical weathering processes was implemented on Cretaceous granitic rock samples from Kimhae area to investigate the variations of geomechanical properties of deteriorated rocks due to artificial weathering processes. The seismic velocity was found to decrease with increasing artificial weathering cycle. Effective porosity and absorption tend to increase with artificial weathering processes. The amount of deterioration of rock samples depend on pre-test degree of weathering. Effective porosity, absorption and seismic velocity can be used as the measure of weathering characteristics of granite in the study area. Weathering is accelerated by combined effect of physical and chemical weathering processes. The new experimental methodology conducted in this study has strong capability to analyze the weathering characteristics of rocks.

The weathering characteristics of periodically submerged sedimentary rocks in the Sayeon dam, Ulsan was examined by field work, electron probe micro-analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Analysis of fracture zone and exfoliation showed the submerged sedimentary rocks have undergone severe mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering in the water-rock interface accelerated chemical weathering, such as dissolution and alteration of the most of minerals except for quartz in the weathering zone. The dissolution of carbonates specially calcite, is remarkable creating the cavities, whereas formation of minerals including clay minerals is not active. The sedimentary rocks have been periodically submerged for a certain period of time, and have repeated freezing and thawing. This mechanical weathering favored infiltration, which accelerated mineral dissolution. The high content of easily soluble carbonate of the sedimentary rocks is likely the major cause of intense chemical weathering. The dissolved elements within the infiltrated water interrupted the occurrence of clay and weathering minerals, and expend fractures by infiltrated water accelerated weathering process.

In Hwangtohyun, meaning 'red soil pass', reddish surface mantles is widespread. Other granitic hills, exceptionally Naju and Youngam area, in Korean peninsula don't commonly have that color. This paper attempts to address this issue by CIA(chemical index of alteration). CIA data and A-CN-K diagram provide crucial insights into the changes in the relative contributions of chemical physical weathering in difference of grus regolith and saprolite. CaO and $Na_2O$ show strong depletion and $K_2O$ is progressive loss. In grus regolith, weathering trends are (sub)parallel to the CN-A join of the A-CN-K diagram, but the sample's composition plot ever closer to the A-K join in saprolite. The difference of weathering trend obtained using CIA data corresponds closely with the visual interpretation of soil color and texture.

Since weathered soils are made by weathering process, the characteristics of weathered soils are strongly related to the originated rock and its forming process. Investigations on the originated rock and the weathering environments that decide the forming process are indispensable for the appropriate analysis on weathered soils. In this study, forming process of weathered soil is investigated by geological viewpoint. Test results show that weathering of rock is closely related to the distribution of rock-forming mineral and forming process. Weathered granite soils have the isotropic in-situ stress state and shearing behavior caused by the non-directional characteristics of originated rock. And weathered gneiss soils have the directional characteristics that mechanical behavior is determined by internal discontinuities. It it proved that the weathering resistance of Quarte is greater than that of feldspar and mica, and it is concluded that the thickness of weathered region is greatly influenced by the distribution of rock-forming mineral.

Accelerated weathering tests was executed to understand the physical characteristics of rocks in Dokdo. For the tests rock samples including trachytic andestes, andesite dyke and ash tuff were taken in place. Double soxhlet extractor and peristatic pump were used for accelerating the weathering processes. After the tests for 4 months, the variations of superficial structure, microscopic structure and strength of rock samples were observed.

국내 풍화지반의 토량환산계수를 정확하고 합리적으로 추정하는 것은 공사의 성패에 있어 매우 중요한 사항이다. 하지만 현업에서는 풍화지반의 풍화도를 정량화하는 것이 어렵고, 토량환산계수를 적용 시 외국의 기준을 사용하는 경우가 빈번하다. 뿐만 아니라, 국내 풍화지반의 토량환산계수에 관한 연구는 아직 미비하여, 끊임없이 토량환산계수의 정확성 및 사용성에 대해 문제 제기가 있어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TEPS (Tunnel Electrical resistivity Prospecting System)를 이용하여 화강암의 풍화 정도와 전기비저항의 상관관계를 도출하고 풍화지반 내 흙이 차지하는 비율(S/W 비)을 전기비저항과 개괄적으로 상관관계를 맺어 전기비저항을 이용하여 토량환산계수를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 현장 관리자가 풍화지반에서 쉽게 토량환산계수 및 토공량에 관한 정보를 획득할 수 있도록 풍화지반 토공관리프로그램(WEMP)을 개발하고 토량환산계수 측정시스템을 설계하였다.

퇴적암의 풍화특성을 파악하기 위해서는 풍화과정을 지배하는 암석의 광물 조성과 화학성분에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 풍화정도에 따른 퇴적암의 특성을 고찰하기 위해서 대구지역에 분포하고 있는 퇴적암을 채취하여 화학 및 광물성분 분석과 시간경과에 따른 물리 및 역학특성 시험을 실시하였다. 퇴적암에 대한 풍화판정법은 시험결과 Parker의 풍화지수식이 잘 일치하였고 모암에 함유된 $Al_2$O$_3$, CaO, $Na_2$O, $K_2$O, MgO등의 화학성분과 조장석(Albite, Ab), 백운모(Muscovite, Ms), 마그네타이트(Magenetite, Mt)등의 광물성분이 풍화와 밀접한 관계가 있었으며, 또한 암석의 풍화정도와 공학적 성질에 대한 상관관계식을 제안하였다.
