The failure of rock slopes were influenced by weathering, which causes change in the shear strength. The weathering is also directly related to slaking and swelling characteristics. In the paper, the core of diameter loom was obtained by digging on rock slope of Kong-ju in Korea and then EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer) analysis was carried out to verified element of chief rock-forming minerals. Uniaxial compression tests, slaking tests, and point load test are performed to study engineering characteristics of conglomerate and red shale. As a results of slaking test, slaking index of conglomerate indicate range of 85.11-99.58 and shale indicate 58.37-99.23. Therefore, it is recognized that the resistance of shale to weathering decreases in shallow depth and it greatly influences the strength of rock. The result of uniaxial compression test and Point load test show that the strength of sedimentary such as conglomerate and red shale has an influence on both weathering and saturation.

Waste fills resulting from coal mining should consist of large, free-draining sedimentary rocks fragments. The successful performance of these fills is related to the strength and durability of the individual rock fragments. When fills are made of shale fragments, some fragments will be durable and some will degrade into soil particles resulting from slaking and inter-particle point loads. The degraded material fills the voids between the intact fragments, and results in settlement. A laboratory program with point load and slake durability tests as well as thin section examination of sixty-eight shale samples from the Appalachian region of the United States revealed that pore micro-geometry has a major influence on degradation. Under saturated and unsaturated conditions, the shales absorb water, and the air in their pores is compressed, breaking the shales. This breakage was more pronounced in shales with smooth pore boundaries and having a diameter equal to or smaller than 0.060 mm. If the pore walls were rough, the air-pressure breaking mechanism was not effective. However, pore roughness (measured by the fractal dimension) had a detrimental effect on point load resistance. This study indicated that the optimum shales to resist both slaking as well as point loads are those that have pores with a fractal dimension equal to 1.425 and a diameter equal to or smaller than 0.06 mm.

In this paper, an experimental program was undertaken to test the analysis on Component and mechanical characteristics for crushed stone of excavated Rocks from Sandstone, Shale, Mudstone, for use as a new source of aggregate. Physical and mechanical properties, required for aggregate materials, of major constituents of rock wastes including Sandstone, Shale, Mudstone, Felsite, Basalt, Marl were measured in the laboratory Test results showed that the Shale, Felsite, Basalt tested in this study might possibly be used for construction aggregates. In case of Sandstone and Mudstone, some physical properties such as rock strength were generally adoptable but the aggregate characteristics were lower than required.

본 연구는 성토구조체 현장실험을 통해 포항 지역의 제3기 이암을 도로 노체 재료로 활용하기 위한 가능성을 검토하는 제시하는 것이다. 이 이암은 신생대 제 3기층인 연암퇴적층에 분포하고 있는 미고결화 암석으로 슬레이킹, 팽윤 현상, 전단강도 저하와 같은 물리적 문제와 산성배수라는 화학적 문제가 발생한다. 여러 복합적 문제 해결하기 위해 실내 배합 시험을 진행하였으며 제 3기 이암(90%)과 복합슬래그(제강 70%, 고로 30%)와 중화·코팅제 처리의 최적 배합 조건을 도출했으며, 이를 실증하기 위해 실제 규모의 도로 성토구조체를 시공하여 구간별 현장 시험을 진행했다. 사전처리구간은 최적 배합 조건 설계로 인해 안정이 유지되는 반면, 무처리구간은 자연 풍화가 빠르게 진행되어 구조적 문제 발생이 우려되었으며, 가적치구간은 중화·코팅제 효과가 확인됨에 따라 임시 적치 시기에 적용 가능함을 확인했다.
