Jointed rock is often modeled using ubiquitious joint models, anisotropic plasticity models with yield condions that simulate slip along joint sets. In this paper, a ubiquitous joint model is derived for a rock mass cut by two sets of continuous joints. The model is used to compute the bearing capacity of a footing resting on jointed rock. Comparison to a series of Distinct Element simulations with different joint spacings, suggests that ubiquitous joint modles are only appropriate when the joint spacing is small.

이방성 암반의 역학적 거동은 해당 암반의 이방성 각도에 따라 다양한 거동을 하게 되므로 터널이나 지하구조물들이 이방성 암반 내에 위치하는 경우, 이러한 특성을 고려한 설계 및 시공이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 먼저, 실내시험을 통하여 편마구조에 대한 역학적 특성을 규명하고 실내시험으로부터 구한 강도특성들을 이용하여 시험편 모델에 대한 유한차분해석을 수행하였으며, 시험편의 파괴메커니즘에 대한 수치해석적 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면, 1)비교적 경암에 속하는 화강편마암임에도 불구하고, 퇴적층리나 불연속면을 가진 이방성 모델의 시험결과와 동일하게 편마구조의 각도변화에 따라 파괴강도의 경향을 뚜렷하게 구분할 수 있었으며, 전단강도시험을 제외하고 일반적으로 $\beta$:60$^{\circ}$에서 가장 적은 강도치를 나타내었다. 2) 횡등방성 모델을 이용하여 시험편에 대한 유한차분해석을 수행한 결과, 편마구조의 각도에 따라 응력분포 및 변형특성이 변화함을 알 수 있었다.

Tunnelling in poor and heterogeneous ground is a difficult task. Even with a good geological investigation, uncertainties with respect to the local rock mass structure will remain. Especially for such conditions, a reliable short-term prediction of the conditions ahead and outside the tunnel profile are of paramount importance for the choice of appropriate excavation and support methods. The information contained in the absolute displacement monitoring data allows a comprehensive evaluation of the displacements and the determination of the behaviour and influence of an anisotropic rock mass. Case histories and with numerical simulations show, that changes in the displacement vector orientation can indicate changing rock mass conditions ahead of the tunnel face (Schubert & Budil 1995, Steindorfer & Schubert 1997). Further research has been conducted to quantify the influence of weak zones on stresses and displacements (Grossauer 2001). Sellner (2000) developed software, which allows predicting displacements (GeoFit$\circledR$). The function parameters describe the time and advance dependent deformation of a tunnel. Routinely applying this method at each measuring section allows determining trends of those parameters. It shows, that the trends of parameter sets indicate changes in the stiffness of the rock mass outside the tunnel in a similar way, as the displacement vector orientation does. Three-dimensional Finite Element simulations of different weakness zone properties, thicknesses, and orientations relative to the tunnel axis were carried out and the function parameters evaluated from the results. The results are compared to monitoring results from alpine tunnels in heterogeneous rock. The good qualitative correlation between trends observed on site and numerical results gives hope that by a routine determination of the function parameters during excavation the prediction of rock mass conditions ahead of the tunnel face can be improved. Implementing the rules developed from experience and simulations into the monitoring data evaluation program allows to automatically issuing information on the expected rock mass quality ahead of the tunnel.

An injection experiment was carried ut to investigate the pressure domain within which hydromechanical coupling influences considerably the hydrologic behavior of a granite rock mass. The resulting database is used for testing a numerical model dedicated to the analysis of such hydromechanical interactions. These measurements were performed in an open hole section, isolated from shallower zones by a packer set at a depth of 275 m and extending down to 840 m. They consisted in a series of flow meter injection tests, at increasing injection rates. Field results showed that conductive fractures from a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fracture zones could not be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intakes zones appeared when pore pressure exceeded the minimum principal stress magnitude in that well, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress could be further supported by the circulated fractures. These characteristics give rise to the question of the influence of the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass under anisotropic stress conditions on the effects of hydromechanical couplings.

The structural anisotropy and heterogeneity of rock mass, caused by discontinuities and weak zones, have a great influence on the deformation behavior of tunnel. Tunnel construction in these complex ground conditions is very difficult. No matter how excellent a geological investigation is, local uncertainties of rock mass conditions still remain. Under these uncertain circumstances, an accurate forecast of the ground conditions ahead of the advancing tunnel face is indispensable to safe and economic tunnel construction. This paper presents the effect of anisotropy and heterogeneity of the rock masses to be excavated by numerical analysis. The influences of distance from weak zone, the size or dimension, the different stiffness and the orientation of weak zones are analysedby 2-D and 3-D finite element analysis. By analysing these numerical results, the tunnel behavior due to excavation can be well understood and the prediction of rock mass condition ahead of tunnel face can be possible.

절리암반에서의 열유동을 수치해석적으로 분석하였다. 1차원 모델 해석을 통하여 한 조의 절리군이 열전도에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하고, 이론해와 비교하였다. 절리 내에 물이 전혀 없는 경우, 절리는 열 차단제의 역할을 하며 정상상태에서도 온도의 불연속이 관찰되었다. 따라서 암반 내 존재하는 절리가 완전 건조상태인 경우에는 개별적인 절리의 열차단 효과를 일일이 고려하여야 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다 그러나 절리 내에 물이 부분적으로 혹은 완전히 포화된 경우에는 열차단 효과가 현저히 줄어들어 온도 분포에 미치는 영향이 현저히 감소하였다. 따라서 절리 암반을 통한 열전도는 암반을 무결암의 열적 성질과 불연속면의 열적 성질을 포함한 열적 이방성 연속체로 가정함으로써 가능하다 할 수 있다. 절리의 포화 정도가 증가할수록 절리가 열유동에 미치는 영향이 감소하므로 암반의 열전달 특성은 등방에 가까워지며, 따라서 복잡한 모델을 이용한 해석보다는 현지 암반의 열물성을 정확히 측정하는 것이 더욱 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

This article presents a research study, with both laboratory and field tests, of a deep foundation in a markedly anisotropic medium. Particularly it has focused on the evaluation of the behavior of a pile, one meter in diameter, embedded in a rocky environment with difficult conditions, in the Flysch of the Spanish city of San Sebastián. To carry out the research, the site of a bridge over the Urumea River was chosen, which was supported by pre-excavated reinforced concrete piles. 4 borings were carried out, by the rotation and washing method, with continuous sampling and combined with flexible dilatometer tests. In the field, an Osterberg load test (O-cell) was performed, while in the laboratory, determinations of natural moisture, natural unit weight, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), point load strength (PLS), compressive wave propagation velocity (V_c) and also triaxial and direct shear tests were carried out. The research results indicate the following: a) the empirical functions that correlate the UCS with the PLS are not always linear; b) for the studied Flysch it is possible to obtain empirical functions that correlate the UCS with the PLS and with the V_c; c) the bearing capacity of the studied Flysch is much greater than if it is evaluated by different load capacity theories; d) it is possible to propose an empirical function that allows evaluating the mobilized shear strength (τ_m), as a function of the UCS and the displacement relative of the pile (δ_r).

Strength anisotropy is a typical feature of thin-bedded rock masses and their strength will be degraded subjected to water immersion effect. Such effect is crucial for the operation of hydropower plant because the impoundment lifts the water level of upstream reservoir and causes the rock mass of nearby slopes saturated. So far, researches regarding mechanical property of natural thin-bedded rock masses and their strength variation under water immersion based on field test method are rarely reported. This paper focuses on a thin-bedded stratified rock mass and carries out field test to investigate the mechanical property and strength variation characteristics. The field test is highlighted by samples which have a large shear dimension of 0.5 m*0.5 m, representing a more realistic in-situ situation than small size specimen. The test results confirm the anisotropic nature of the concerned rock mass, whose shear strength of host rocks is significantly larger than that of bedding planes. Further, the comparison of shear strength parameters of the thin-bedded rock mass under natural and saturated conditions show that for both host rocks and bedding planes, the decreasing extent of cohesion values are larger than friction values. The quantitative results are then adopted to analyze the influence of reservoir impoundment of a hydropower plant on the surrounding rock mass stability of diversion tunnels which are located in the nearby slope bank. It is evaluated that after reservoir impoundment, the strength degradation induced incremental deformations of surrounding rock mass of diversion tunnels are small and the stresses in lining structure are acceptable. It is therefore concluded that the influences of impoundment are small and the stability of diversion tunnels can be still achieved. The finings regarding field test method and its results, as well as the numerical evaluation conclusions are hoped to provide references for rock projects with similar concerns.
