  • Laboratory testing of representative rock specimens is of fundamental necessity for the successful design and/or assessment of facilities associated with many kinds of underground exploitation, including the geological disposal of radioactive nuclear waste. As a fundamental and systematic study, a series of measurements of the physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of Inada granite and Shirahama sandstone, two rock types that are widely available in Japan, have been performed. This paper presents the results of a study of the effective porosity, density, compressive and shear wave velocity, unconfined compressive strength and permeability of the two rocks. The anisotropy and the effects of confining pressure on the permeability of the rocks, as well as the relationships among the physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties, are also investigated and discussed.

  • Generally speaking, grouting on the base stabilizes the ground as the aspects of mechanic and engineering properties, with drilling hole at any depth of the earth, and pressuring the cement milk or special chemical grouting material in it. The purpose of grouting on the base is waterproofness and solidification of the ground by earth concreting that the cement milk pass through paticles of soil or crack of rock. This report shows the fundamental properties of microcement compared with those of ordinary portland cement in a point of grouting. It also describes that experimental applications on the treatment of the weathered rock at the constructior of Taegu subway and Boryong earth filled dam site, south of chungchung province, resulted in success.

  • It is very important to measure reliable properties of each zones in dam for seismic design. But, rock-fill zone which have 80% of total volume and support maintenance mainly during earthquake has little property by field test and seismic design was performed using assumed value. So, it is required that reliable properties have to be evaluated by in-situ test. In this study, surface wave method, which is nondestructive such as SASW and HWAW, was applied to dam to evaluate rock-fill zone of dam. In 2 dams, Vs profiles were evaluated reliably and possibility of suggestion of D/B was verified.

  • In this study, the fundamental properties of cement mortar in relation to the change of the replacement ratio of the RA(Reject-Ash) were analyzed by mixing RA to the mixed aggregate consisting of poorly graded fine rock aggregate and marine aggregate for quality improvement. It was found that replacing 5% of the mixed aggregate with RA could improve the quality of the aggregate to the degree of fine rock aggregates.

  • The paper deals with problems connected with heating and ventilation of underground premises for public use. Some properties of rock and special problems connected with designing ventilation systems for underground spaces are first briefly discussed. The rest of the paper deals with design of ventilation and heating systems. The conclusion is that there are no large problems with heating and ventiliation of underground premises, but there are still problems connected with for instance thermal properties of rock when water flows in the cracks. An optimum design demands better knowledge of these properties.

  • Fusion and characterization of bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether based thermosetting polymer mortars containing an epoxy resin, Fly ash and Rock sand are presented here for the Experimental study. The specimens have been prepared by means of an innovative process, in mild conditions, of commercial epoxy resin, Fly ash and Rock sand based paste. In this way, thermosetting based hybrid mortars characterized by a different content of normalized Fly ash and Rock sand by a homogeneous dispersion of the resin have been obtained. Once hardened, these new composite materials show improved compressive strength and toughness in respect to both the Fly ash and the Rock sand pastes since the Resin provides a more cohesive microstructure, with a reduced amount of micro cracks. The micro structural characterization allows pointing out the presence of an Interfacial Transition Zone similar to that observed in cement based mortars. A correlation between micro-structural features and mechanical properties of the mortar has also been studied.

  • In this study, using constant normal stiffness(CNS) direct shear tests, side shear load distribution were analyzed by the influencing parameters of unconfined compressive strength, surface roughness, confining stress, and material properties. Based on the CNS tests, side shear load transfer function of drilled shafts in rock is proposed using geological strength index(GSI), which indicates discontinuity and surface condition of rock mass in Hoek-Brown criterion. Though comparisons with results of nine drilled shafts's load tests, it is found that the load-transfer curve by this study is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements, and thus represents a significant improvement in the prediction of bearing capacity of drilled shaft.

  • The distinguished geological characteristic of Taegu area is consist of anisotropic shale or sedimentary rock. Therefore if rocks are used for construction, it would've some difficulties of reuse showing the aspect of resource engineering. We made physical and mechanic properties for rock discrimination and then whether it had utilization worth or not. So we studied the engineering propriety through the aggregate tests based on rock's in laboratory. The last passed aggregate were D, E and B1 at KS and the rest couldn't use the place where weather phenomenon is caprice. This sis for base-line data of aggregate development research before the porpriety investigation for aggreagte of excavated rock in Taegu area.

  • The Cenozoic Era consists of two period , the Tertiary and the Quaternary Period. Weak rock types may include areas containing: 1) poorly cemented or uncemented sediments, 2) highly weathered rock, or 3) fault lines. Especially this paper deal with poorly cemented or uncemented sedimentary rocks in slope. Mechanical weathering is caused by physical processes such as absorption and release of water, and changes in temperature and stress at or near the exposed rock surface. It results in the opening of discontinuities, the formation of new discontinuities by rock fracture, the opening of grain boundaries, and the fracture or cleavage of individual mineral grains. Decomposition causes some silicate minerals such as feldspars to change to clay minerals. There was a strong negative correlation between water absorption and important engineering properties such as strength and durability.

  • A two dimensional visco-plastic finite element model capable of handling the multistep excavaton was developed for investigating the effect of excavation-support sequences on the behaviour of underground openings in the jointed rock mass. Ubiquitous joint pattern was considered in the model and joint properties in each set were assumed to be identical. Passive, fully-grouted rockbolts were considered in the model. Visco-plastic deformations of joints and rockbolts were assumed to be governed by Mohr-Coulomb and von Mises yield criteria, respectively. With the ability of removing elements, the model can von Mises yield criteria, respectively. With the ability of removing elements, the model can simulate the multi-step excavation-support sequences. The reliability of the model to the stability analysis for the underground excavation in practice was checked by simulating the behavior of underground crude oil storage caverns under construction.
