Natural rock mass contains defects of different shapes, usually filled with inclusions such as clay or gravel. The presence of inclusions affects the failure characteristics and mechanical properties of rock mass. In this study, the strength and failure characteristics of rock with inclusions were studied using the particle flow code under uniaxial compression. The results show that the presence of inclusions not only improves the mechanical properties of rock with defects but also increases the bearing capacity of rock. Circular inclusion has the most obvious effect on improving model strength. The inclusions affect the stress distribution, development of initial crack, change in crack propagation characteristics, and failure mode of rock. In defect models, concentration area of the maximum tensile stress is generated at the top and bottom of defect, and the maximum compressive stress is distributed on the left and right sides of defect. In filled models, the tensile stress and compressive stress are uniformly distributed. Failing mode of defect models is mainly tensile failure, while that of filled models is mainly shear failure.

Rock socketed drilled shafts transfer significant portion of structural loads at the socketed part. Therefore, a proper design of side and base resistances of a shaft at the socket is a major concern for the geotechnical engineers. In this study, we modified the Hoek-Brown criterion to estimate side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts. Earlier method to compute side resistance of a shaft is linear or power functions of intact rock masses. However, side resistance is mobilized like shearing which influenced by the mechanical properties of concrete and rock masses, adhesion of rock/concrete interface, roughness of rock socket. Therefore, a single coefficient or power of uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock cannot provide accurate values of side resistance in a wide range of the uniaxial compressive strength. A new approach proposed in this study can consider in situ rock mass condition (frequency or discontinuities, weathering condition), and rock types thus, it has a wider applicability than the earlier models.

횡등방성 암석의 인장강도 특성 해석을 위하여 새로운 이방성 인장파괴함수를 제안하였다. 제안된 함수에서 인장강도는 연약면과 수직한 방향에서 최소가 되며 연약면과 평행한 방향쪽으로 지수함수적으로 증가하면서 최대값에 수렴된다. 제안된 이방성 인장파괴함수는 실험적으로 측정이 가능한 3개의 강도정수로 정의된다. 제안된 함수를 임계면법에 적용하여 연약면의 방향성에 따른 횡등방성 암석의 인장강도 및 파괴면의 방향을 탐색할 수 있는 수치해석적 기법을 제시하였다. 문헌에 보고된 횡등방성 암석의 직접인장시험 결과를 모사함으로써 제안된 방법의 적합성을 검토하였다. 수치해석결과와 직접인장시험 결과는 전반적으로 유사한 결과를 보여주었다.

Reliability analysis is generally regarded as the most appropriate method when uncertainties are taken into account in slope designs. With the help of limit analysis, probability evaluation for three-dimensional rock slope stability was conducted based upon the Mote Carlo method. The nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion was employed to reflect the practical strength characteristics of rock mass. A form of stability factor is used to perform reliability analysis for rock slopes. Results show that the variation of strength uncertainties has significant influence on probability of failure for rock slopes, as well as strength constants. It is found that the relationship between probability of failure and mean safety factor is independent of the magnitudes of input parameters but relative to the variability of variables. Due to the phenomenon, curves displaying this relationship can provide guidance for designers to obtain factor of safety according to required failure probability.

Many cut slopes are situated on national highways. In this study, we chose rock slopes of moderated weathering grade to analyze general strength parameters of cut slopes. We analyzed the strength parameters of selected rock slopes by the experience method. Also, we arranged the strength parameters by area and rock types.

국내에서 출토빈도가 높은 9개 암종을 대상으로 침투에 의한 함수시 강도저감에 대한 연구를 시행하였다. 함수에 의한 강도저감은 암종에 관계없이 암석강도에 지배된다는 사실을 확인하였다. 강도가 약한 암일수록 강도저감 민감도가 예민함을 알 수 있다. 강도에 따라 0.5%의 함수비에 50% 내외의 강도 저감현상이 발생하는 일은 매우 흔하게 관찰된다. 대부분의 암석은 포화함수비의 1/4~1/2의 포화에서 파괴가 일어난다는 사실도 확인할 수 있었다. 함수시 암석강도의 약화는 교질물질의 접착강도 약화와 용탈에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

One of the most general methods that can evaluate the rippability is the seismic exploration. However, most field engineers have hardly used the seismic exploration. Instead of using the seismic exploration, they have usually used rock hammer and naked eyes to confirm the degree of rippability for soil, ripping rock and blasting rock. Therefore, to excavate the ground rationally, it is required to establish a quantitative criterion that can be used for distinguishing rippability. In this study, we find out the characteristics of rock strength through laboratory and field tests. The weathering condition of rock exposed to air due to excavation of soil layer and the variation of rock strength caused by weathering were investigated. A relationship between rock strength values that are obtained from uniaxial compression test, slaking durability test, point load test, schmidt hammer test and absorption ratio test is analyzed. The relationship is expressed in a form of equation by which we can evaluate the rock strengths obtained from simple laboratory and field tests. To evaluate rippability in a reasonable manner, a quantitative approach is proposed and a check list of rippability is developed based on the proposed methodology. It is recommended to modify the proposed method for evaluation of rippability in the field.

Water-rock interactions have a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of rocks. In this study, uniaxial compression and tension tests on different water-treated sandstone samples were conducted. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring and micro-pore structure detection were carried out. Water-rock interactions and their effects on rock mechanical behavior were discussed. The results indicate that water content significantly weakens rock mechanical strength. The sensitivity of the mechanical parameters to water treatment, from high to low, are Poisson ratio (𝜇), uniaxial tensile strength (UTS), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), elastic modulus (E), and peak strain (𝜀). After water treatment, AE activities and the shear crack percentage are reduced, the angles between macro fractures and loading direction are minimized, the dynamic phenomenon during loading is weakened, and the failure mode changes from a mixed tensile-shear type to a tensile one. Due to the softening, lubrication, and water wedge effects in water-rock interactions, water content increases pore size, promotes crack development, and weakens micro-pore structures. Further damage of rocks in fractured and caved zones due to the water-rock interactions leads to an extra load on the adjoining coal and rock masses, which will increase the risk of dynamic disasters.

절리성 암반은 절리 또는 연약면에 의해 역학적인 이방성이 발현될 수 있으며 절리성 암반의 강도 및 변형 특성에 대한 이해는 지질공학 현장에서 주된 관심사이다. 본 연구는 마찰재료로 채택된 석고를 이용하여 단일절리를 포함하는 시료를 성형하고 진삼축시험을 통하여 진삼축 조건의 강도 및 변형 특성을 고찰하였다. 동일한 조건에서 수행한 개별요소법 기반의 삼차원 수치해석은 진삼축시험을 통하여 검증되었으며 타당성이 확보되었다. 수치해석 결과는 절리의 방향성과 더불어 현장의 주응력 조건이 절리성 암반의 강도 및 변형 특성 연구에 있어서 필수적인 요소임을 지시한다. 수치해석을 통하여 절리의 경사각 변화에 따라 산정한 횡등방성 암반의 강도는 중간주응력이 강화함에 따라 유의미한 증가를 나타내며, 증가의 폭은 절리의 경사 조건에 큰 영향을 받는다. 또한, 절리의 경사방향과 두 수평 주응력 방향 간의 상대적인 관계는 횡등방성 암반의 강도특성을 좌우하는 요인이다. 두 개의 절리군을 포함하는 암반의 강도는 경사가 더욱 급한 절리군이 전체 암반의 강도를 좌우한다. 두 절리군 중 한 절리군의 연속성이 짧아 암교 효과를 발휘하면 연속성이 상대적으로 긴 절리군의 방향성이 전체 암반의 강도를 좌우할 수 있다. 절리성 암반에 대한 기존의 삼차원 파괴기준식은 적용성 측면에서 한계도 있지만, 수치해석이 이를 보완하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

The typical result are as follow- 1. From the measured value of point load strength anisotropy index, the seoul granite is considered to be homogeneous. 2. There is a linear relationship between uniaxial compressive strength and size corrected point load strength index. 3. Brazilian tensile strength and size corrected point load strength index are closely tied together.
