Jiri Mountain lies in the southwestern portion of the Yeongnam massif, which is one of the Precambrian basement massifs of the Korean Peninsular, consisting essentially of high-grade metamorphic rocks. The geology of the area mainly consists of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary migmatitic gneisses, granitic gneisses which are classified into granitic gneiss, (K-feldspar porphyroblastic) granitic gneiss and quartzo-feldspathic gneiss, charnockite and anorthosite based on their occurrence and petrographic characteristics. The ages obtained from these rocks mainly span a narrow range between ca. 1,876 and 1,856 Ma although inherited cores of zircons from massive granite gneiss yielded much older age spectrum (>2,029 Ma). The age of major metamorphism is ca. 1850-1840 Ma and the metamorphic condition obtained from mineral assemblages and geothermobarometers is about 4-6 kb and up to $700-750^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that in the area intense granitic magmatism and metamorphism occurred in the deep crust during Paleoproterozoic orogeny. Some younger age of charnockite (1,856-1,865 Ma) and anorthosite (1,861-1,862 Ma) might indicate the beginning of intraplate rifting leading to felsic and mafic magmatism just after the orogeny. In conclusion, the rocks in the Jiri Mountain area which formed at a mid to deep crustal zone provide us windows into the deep crust.

Precambrian gneiss complex in the Pyeongchang-Wonju area, which lies west of the Paleozoic sedimentary basin of the Yeongwol-Taebaek area, is being considered as a part of the Gyeonggi massif, but its ages of formation and metamorphic events are not well defined yet. In this study, SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages were determined from the gneiss complex in the area, We obtained the discrete ages of magmatic (ca. 1960 Ma) and metamorphic (ca. 1860 Ma) events through the interpretation of the SHRIMP data based on the internal structures of zircons. These are almost the same to the ages of main intrusion and metamorphism reported from the Precambrian basements of Gyeonggi, Yeongnam and Nangnim massifs of the Korean Peninsula, Ages of 3200~3300 Ma, 2900 Ma, 2660 Ma, 2430 Ma, 2260 Ma, and 2080~2070 Ma obtained from inherited cores of studied zircons are also very similar to the frequently reported ages from the basement rocks of the Gyeonggi and Yeongnam massifs, Lower intercept age of about 270 Ma calculated from the rim data seems to indicate that the study area suffered from a late Paleozoic metamorphism (Okcheon Orogeny), but we need more reasonable and sufficient data to confirm it. According to the results of this study, it is suggested that the Bangnim group unconformably overlying the gneiss complex was deposited after the Paleoproterozoic granitic magmatism (ca. 1960 Ma) and metamorphism (ca. 1860 Ma).

The precambrian granitic gneiss and porphyroblastic gneiss are widely distributed in the Gwangyang-Hadong area of Korea. This study focuses on the geochemical properties and metamorphic P-T conditions of these gneisses. These gneisses are plotted according to granodiorite domain on an IUGS silica-alkali diagram. Geochemical properties of major elements suggest that these rocks are of the sub-alkalic rock series, and were farmed from S-type magmas which were generated in a syn-collision tectonic environment. The amounts of trace elements (Zn, Sc, Sr, V, etc.) decreased as $SiO_2$ concentrations increased. Almandine and spessartine mol%'s and XFe are higher in garnet rims, while pyrope mol%'s are higher in the garnet cores. This seems to be the result of garnet growth and retrogressive metamorphism. Metamorphic zones are divided into sillimanite-cordierite, sillimanite, garnet, and biotite zones. Metamorphic P-T conditions estimated from the gneisses indicate high temperature and low to medium pressure metamorphism (689-757$^{\circ}C$, 5.0-5.6 kbar), followed by medium temperature, low pressure retrorade metamorphism (579-628$^{\circ}C$, 3.1-4.5 kbar), and overprinted retrogade metamorphism (502-558$^{\circ}C$, 1.6-2.3 kbar).

We study the natural background and geochemical characteristics on geological groups of stream sediment in the Boseong-Hwasun area. We collected 186ea stream sediment samples along the primary channels and dried them naturally in laboratory. The contents of major, trace and rare earth elements were determined by XRF, ICP-AES and NAA analysis methods. In order to know the natural background and geochemical characteristics of geological groups, we classified the studied area into granitic gneiss (GGn) area and porphyroblastic gneiss (PGn) area. The contents range of major elements for GGn area is $SiO_2$ 45.5-73.09 wt.%, $Al_2O_3$ 12-20.76 wt.%, $Fe_2O_3$(T) 3.72-8.85 wt.%, $K_2O$ 2.38-4.2 wt.%, MgO 0.75-2.77 wt.%, $Na_2O$ 0.78-1.88 wt.%, CaO 0.27-2.1 wt.%, $TiO_2$ 0.56-1.72 wt.%, $P_2O_5$ 0.06-0.73 wt.% and MnO 0.03-0.95 wt.%, and for PGn area it is $SiO_2$ 43.74-70.71 wt.%, $Al_2O_3$ 11.54-25.05 wt.%, $Fe_2O_3$(T) 3.44-13.46 wt.%, $K_2O$ 2.08-3.86 wt.%, MgO 0.65-2.99 wt.%, $Na_2O$ 0.63-1.7 wt.%, CaO 0.35-2.07 wt.%, $TiO_2$ 0.68-4.17 wt.%, $P_2O_5$ 0.1-0.31 wt.% and MnO 0.07-0.33 wt.%. The contents range of hazard elements for GGn area is Cr 41.7-242 ppm, Co 7.6-25.1 ppm, Ni 12-61 ppm, Cu 10-47 ppm, Zn 48.5-412 ppm, Pb 17-215 ppm, and for PGn area, it is Cr 29.6-454 ppm, Co 5.9-53.7 ppm, Ni 8.7-287 ppm, Cu 6.4-134 ppm, Zn 43.6-370 ppm, Pb 15-37 ppm area. There is a good correlation between Cr and MgO and Co among $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$(T), MgO and Ni among $Fe_2O_3$(T), CaO, MgO whereas Cu, Zn and Pb have a low correlation for major elements in GGn area. Generally Cr, Co, Ni, and Cu have a good correlation with major elements, but a low correlation with Zn and Pb in PGn area.

In northern Gohung granitic gneiss, porphyroblastic gneiss and migmatitic gneiss are widely distributed. Gneisses were plotted in granodiorite domain on an lUGS silica-alkali diagram. The amounts of trace elements (Li, Zn, Sc, Sr, Ni, V Y etc.) vs. $SiO_2$, somewhat decreased. Plagioclase showed a wide compositional range ($An_{32-48}$). $X_{alm}$ and $X_{sps}$ were higher in garnet rim and $X_{pyp}$ in garnet core. The rocks in the study area were formed from S and I-type magmas which generated from syn-collision and the late to post-orogenic tectonic environment. Metamorphic P-T conditions u·ere low to medium pressure, high temperature (803-913$^{\circ}C$, 6.1-7.3 kb) and overprinted by retrograde metamorphism (570-726$^{\circ}C$, 2.2-5.1 kb) and chloritization.

도심지 굴착과 같은 환경적 제약과 사회적 문제가 존재하는 현장에 대하여. 암반제거작업에 있어서 가장 경제적이고 효율적인 발파공법을 적용하기 위해서, 본 연구는 기존의 발파방진기술인 Line Drilling과 Presplitting의 상점을 살리면서, 단점을 보안한 새로운 발파방진 기술인 NPS(New Presplitting)발파법의 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. NPS 발파법의 분석은 안산암과 화강암, 화강편마암의 3종류의 암반을 대상으로 NPS 발파법의 열수를 1열, 2열, 3열, 4열을 적용하여 발파로 인한 진동을 NPS 발파법의 적용전과 후의 발파진동값을 기준으로 NPS 발파법의 전, 후 진동감쇠 효과를 비교하고, 동일 조건을 가정한 경제성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 NPS 발파법의 3가지 암석에 대한 현장적용 결과 암종에 따른 NPS 발파공법의 진동감쇠효과의 변화보다, NPS 발파법의 적용 pattern에 대한 진동감쇠효과의 변화가 크게 나타났으며 NPS 발파공열이 2열일 때 감쇠범위는 40％∼80％로 가장 효율적으로 나타났으며 3열과 4열의 경우에도 진동감쇠효과는 있으나 그 효율이 크게 향상되지 않을 뿐 아니라 2열에 비하여 경제적으로 불리함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 NPS 발파법은 보안물과의 거리가 가까울수록 더 경제성이 큰 것으로 분석되었다.
