Rock Mass classifications have been developed in many European countries. The most widely used classification methods are the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system proposed by Bieniawski(1973) and the Q-system developed By Barton et al. (1974). These methods are also adopted at many mountain tunnels and subway sites in our country. Here, a geomechanical classification for slopeds in rock, the "Slope Mass Rating"(SMR) is presented for the preliminary assessment of slope stabiliyt. This method can be applied to excavation and support design in the front part of tunnel and cutting area as a guide line and recommendation on support methods which allow a systemmetic use of geomechanical classification for rock slopes.

Safe underground construction in a rock mass requires adequate ground investigation and effective determination of rock conditions. The estimation of rock mass behavior is difficult, because rock masses are innately anisotropic and heterogeneous at different scales and are affected by various environmental factors. Quantitative rock mass classification systems, such as the Q-system and rock mass rating, are widely used for characterization and engineering design. The measurement of rock classification parameters is subjective and can vary among observers, resulting in questionable accuracy. Geophysical investigation methods, such as seismic surveys, have also been used for ground characterization. Torsional shear wave propagation characteristics in cylindrical rods are equal to that in an infinite media. A probabilistic quantitative relationship between the Q-value and shear wave velocity is thus investigated considering long-wavelength wave propagation in equivalent continuum jointed rock masses. Individual Q-system parameters are correlated with stress-dependent shear wave velocities in jointed rocks using experimental and numerical methods. The relationship between the Q-value and the shear wave velocity is normalized using a defined reference condition. This relationship is further improved using probabilistic analysis to remove unrealistic data and to suggest a range of Q-values for a given wave velocity. The proposed probabilistic Q-value estimation is then compared with field measurements and cross-hole seismic test data to verify its applicability.

현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 암반분류법은 발주처인 각 기관별로 표준화되어 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라 그 기준값이 상이하여 각 단계별 참여기술자간에 암반 판정의 불일치가 야기될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 적용되고 있는 암반분류법의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 국내 암반분류 기준들과 국제적 기준들을 비교, 검토하여 표준화된 분류요소를 제시하고, 각 요소에 대한 기준값을 합리적이며 객관적으로 정량화함으로써 이를 종합적으로 이용하는 평가 방식의 암반분류 안을 제시하였다.

Engineering rock mass classification is extensively used to determine the reasonable support system throughout the tunneling process in the field. Selection of support system based on the results of engineering rock mass classification is simple and straight-forward. However, this method cannot consider the effect of in-situ stresses, mechanical properties of support material, and support installation time on the behavior or rock-support system To handle the various conditions encountered in the underground excavation sites rock-support system. To handle the various conditions encountered in th eunderground excavation sites rock-support interaction program has been developed. This program can analyze the interaction between rock mass and support materials and also can simulate the tunnel excavation-support insstallation process by controlling the support installation time and the stiffness of support system. Practical applicability of this program was verfied by comparing the results of support design to those from rock mass classification for virtual underground excavation at the drilling site KD-06 in Geoje island.

In this study, the rock mass classification results from the face mapping and the resistivity inversion data are compared and analyzed for the reliability investigation of the determination of the rock support type based on the surface electrical survey. To get the quantitative correlation, rock engineering indices such as RCR(rock condition rating), N(Rock mass number), Q-system based on RMR(rock mass rating) are calculated. Kriging method as a post processing technique for global optimization is used to improve its resolution. The result of correlation analysis shows that the geological condition estimated from 2D electrical resistivity survey is coincident globally with the trend of rock type except for a few local areas. The correlation between the results of 3D electrical resistivity survey and the rock mass classification turns out to be very high. It can be concluded that 3D electrical resistivity survey is powerful to set up the reliable rock support type.

Due to the constraints in pre site-investigation for tunnel, it is essential to redesign the support structures suitable for rock mass conditions such as rock strength, ground water and discontinuity conditions for safe tunnel construction. For the selection of optimum support, it is very important to carry out the rock mass classification and in-situ measurement in tunnelling. In this paper, in a mountain tunnel designed by NATM in hard rock, the selectable system for optimum support has been studied. The tunnel is situated at Chun-an in Kyungbu highspeed railway line with 2 lanes over a length of 4, 020 m and a diameter of 15 m. The tunnel was constructed by drill & blasting method and long bench cut method, designed five types of standard support patterns according to rock mass conditions. In this tunnel, face mapping based on image processing of tunnel face and rock mass classification by RMR carried out for the quantitative evaluation of the characteristics of rock mass and compared with rock mass classes in design. Also, in-situ measurement of convergence and crown settlement conducted about 30 m interval, assessed the stability of tunnel from the analysis of monitoring data. Through the results of rock mass classification and in-situ measurement in several sections, the design of supports were modified for the safe and economic tunnelling.

Rock mass classifications have played an indispensable role in underground construction for several decades. An important issue in rock mass classifications is the selection of the parameters of greatest significance. There appears to be no single parameter that can fully describe a jointed rock mass for underground construction design. In this paper. We find some problems shen applied rock mass classification for underground construction in domestic, analyze the most significant parameters and parameters correlation influencing the behavior of a rock mass, and suggest the Simplied Rock Mass Rating system based on RMR method for effective underground supports.

Success in the excavation of foundations is commonly known as being very important in asserting stability. Furthermore, when the subjected formation is rocky and the use of explores is required, the demands of successful blasting are multiplied. The quick and correct estimation of excavation's characteristics may help the design of building structures, increasing their safety. The present paper proposes a new classification system which connects blastability and rock mass quality. This new system primarily concerns poor and friable rock mass, heavily broken with mixture of angular and rounded rock pieces. However, it should concern medium and good quality rock mass. The Blastability Quality System (BQS) can be an easy and widely - used tool as it is a quick calculator for blastability index (BI) and rock mass quality. Taking into account the research calculations and the parameters of BQS, what has been at question in this paper is the effect of BI magnitude on a geological structure.

지하 구조물 구축 시 구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 주변 암반에 대한 암반 분류가 필수적으로 수행해야 한다. 특히 암반 내에 존재하는 불연속면은 암반의 물리적, 역학적 특성에 지배적인 영향을 미치므로 암반 불연속면에 대한 정확한 정보의 획득을 통해 신뢰도 높은 암반분류값을 제시하는 것은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 암반 분류는 지금까지 대부분 수작업을 통해 수행되었다. 그러나 대규모 지질조사와 같은 대형 조사면적에 대한 정확도의 부재, 비숙련자에 의한 암반 등급 결정값의 신뢰도 결여 등에 대한 문제점들이 항시 제기되어 왔다. 따라서 최근에 와서는 넓은 범위에 대해서도 신속하고 정확한 암반 분류를 위해 LiDAR를 이용한 암반 분류의 자동화에 대한 연구가 국내·외적으로 널리 이루어지고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 LiDAR 촬영으로 획득되는 point cloud로부터 불연속면의 정보를 분석하는 알고리즘의 특성에 따라 상이한 결과가 도출될 수 있으며, 숙련자에 의한 수작업의 결과를 완벽하게 대체하기에는 미흡한 경우가 종종 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LiDAR 촬영으로 획득한 point cloud로부터 불연속면을 추출하는 다양한 알고리즘을 설명하였으며, 이들 알고리즘을 이용하여 실제 암반 사면을 대상으로 불연속면을 추출하는 과정을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 다양한 알고리즘의 적용 과정은 향후 LiDAR 등을 통하여 획득한 디지털 데이터로부터 암반 불연속면을 추출하는 연구에서 참고자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.

현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 암반분류법인 RMR 이나 Q 분류법을 이용하여 조사단계에서 암반평가를 할 때, 평가요소의 하나인 RQD 값을 구하기 위한 시추작업이 제한적으로 이루어지고 있고, 또한 시공단계에서도 시추작업은 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 실제 현장조사에서는 RQD값은 일반적으로 유추되거나 간접적인 방법을 통해서 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 또한 암반내의 절리간격조사도 여러 군의 절리가 존재할 경우 그룹별 간격의 측정이 용이하지 않으며 불연속면의 연속성 등 불연속면의 특성에 관한 측정이 쉽지 않다는 것이다. 절리간격 요소도 설제로는 RQD와 중복되는 요소로서 시추 코아에 의존하지 않고 보다 쉽게 암반평가를 실시할 수 있는 새로운 암반분류법의 개발이 필요하다. 이를 위해서 요구되는 요소들을 측정하지 않고도 암반의 구조적인 형태와 절리의 거칠기와 변형정도로 표시되는 불연속면의 표면적인 조건만을 관찰함으로써 암반평가를 실시할 수 있는 방법인 GSI 의 요소들을 RMR 방법과 결합하여 새로운 암반분류법을 제시하고자 하는 것이다.
