파쇄매질에서 불규칙한 양상의 유체유동과 용질이동의 모의를 위하여 연속체 모델을 대체하는 분리단열망 모델의 이용이 확산되고 있다. 분리단열망 모델은 단열내 유량이 단열 간극의 삼승에 비례한다는 삼승법칙과 매질이 이러한 단열의 통계적 조합으로 구성된다는 가정에 바탕을 두고 있다. 본 연구는 단열교차점에서 삼승법칙의 유효성이 유지될 수 있는가를 평가하기 위하여 경계좌표계 변환법을 이용하여 단열간 교차각과 단열에서 유량분포의 관계를 분석하였다. 단열 교차각의 변화에 따른 유선의 분포에 대한 분석을 통하여 단열의 기하학적 형태가 단열의 유량분포에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 따라서, 삼승법칙에 대한 엄밀한 수치적 실험적 검증이 필요하다.

In this study, we applied DRASTIC and SINTACS models for the assessment of groundwater vulnerability to Buyeo-eup area in Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. Currently, DRASTIC model is a main tool for the assessment of groundwater vulnerability, which has been widely applied for the multiple purposes related to local developments, construction projects, groundwater investigations, etc. since 1980s. Because DRASTIC model has been the sole tool used for the domestic environment, there has been doubt about the degree of reliability of the model, and a benchmark model has been sought by the many practitioners. The objective of this study is to check the applicability of SINTACS model to domestic environment, which is the first attempt in Korea as far as authors understand. The comparative results show that the DRASTIC assessment underestimates groundwater vulnerability of the aquifers composed of fractured bedrocks while that from the SINTACS model is relatively higher. Through this study, it is expected that SINTACS model serves as a reasonable alternative of DRASTIC model where the subsurface is composed of more than two different media such as fractured rocks and alluvium.

본 논문에서는 국내외 터널 붕락사례를 바탕으로 붕락 발생시의 지반특징에 관해 분석하였다. 국내의 경우에는 대부분 연암 및 풍화암이 터널 막장 전면에 존재한 경우 굴착에 기인한 응력의 재배치로 인해 막장의 전단강도가 가장 취약한 면을 따라 국부적 또는 전변에 걸친 붕괴가 일어나며 풍화를 심하게 받은 파쇄대을 따라 발파나 굴착으로 인하여 터널 안정성을 상실, 터널 붕괴를 유발하는 것이 특정으로 나타났다. 유럽의 경우 지반이 상대적으로 신선하지만 하나의 절리군에 의한 붕락도 발생하였고 RQD 지수가 50% 이상의 양호한 암반에서도 붕락이 발생하였으며 지하수의 유출도 분류 범위 내에서 고루 발생한 것이 특징이다.

To facilitate a drilling plan for grouting in fractured rock, an algorithm of practical use associated with a new term “fracture density distribution”or“fracture tomogram”is developed. It is well known that Televiewer data(amplitude and traveltime image) provide detailed information about not only dip and dip direction of each fracture but also its aperture size estimated by an appropriate evaluation algorithm. A selected plane section of medium around a borehole or the cross section between two boreholes is discretized into a two dimensional grid of cells(rectangular elements). As each elongated(straight) fracture passes through the cells, the corresponding aperture size value is successively summed up in each cell, depending on the fracture length segment. In this, the fracture lines can be determined by intersecting of each fracture plane with the selected plane section. If the fracture line does not pass through a particular grid element, the segment length is set to zero. The final value(aperture size value of each cell) derived from all the detected fractures constitutes the fracture density distribution of the selected plane section, Field examples are illustrated, which will prove the benefit of the suggested algorithm for several kinds of grouting works.

The Upper Devonian Grossmont Formation in Alberta, Canada reserves an estimated 50 billion cubic meters of bitumen and possess about 1/6 of the total bitumen resources in northern Alberta. However, unlike the overlying Athabasca oil sands, non conventional bitumen resources has not been developed as yet. The carbonate rocks of Grosmont Formation have been subject to various stages of diagenesis, including dolomatization and karstification with a strong effect on the distribution of porosity and permeability, which resulted in highly heterogeneous reservoirs. An extensive fracture logging and mapping was performed on total of six boreholes located in the study area to explore the characteristics of fracture geometry system and the subsurface structures of carbonates reservoir that holds bitumen. Fractal dimension was used as a measure of the statistical homogeneity of the fractured rock masses. The applicability of random Cantor dust, Dc, as a fractal parameter was examined systematically. The statistical homogeneity of fractured carbonates rock masses was investigated in the study area. The structural domains of the rock masses were delineated depthwise according to estimated Dc. The major fracture orientation was dominated by horizontal beddings having dip of $0-20^{\circ}$. Also, fractures having high dip angles existed with relatively low frequency. Three dimensional fracture network modeling for each structural domain has been performed based on fracture orientation and intensity, and some representative conceptual models for carbonates reservoir in the study area has been proposed. The developed subsurface conceptual models will be used to capture the geomechanical characteristics of the carbonates reservoir.

In-situ leaching could be one of the promising mining methods to extract the minerals from deep fractured rock mass. Constrained by the low permeability at depth, however, the performance does not meet the expectation. In fact, the rock mass permeability mainly depends on the pre-existing natural fractures and therefore play a crucial role in in-situ leaching performance. More importantly, fractures have various characteristics, such as aperture, persistence, and density, which have diverse contributions to the promising method. Hence, it is necessary to study the variation of fluid rate versus fracture parameters to enhance in-situ leaching performance. Firstly, the subsurface fractures from the depth of 1500m to 2500m were mapped using the discrete fracture network (DFN) in this paper, and then the numerical model was calibrated at a particular case. On this basis, the fluid flow through fractured rock mass with various fracture characteristics was analyzed. The simulation results showed that with the increase of Fisher' K value, which determine the fracture orientation, the flow rate firstly decreased and then increased. Subsequently, as another critical factor affecting the fluid flow in natural fractures, the fracture transmissivity has a direct relationship with the flow rate. Sensitive study shows that natural fracture characteristics play a critical role in in-situ leaching performance.

The accurate determination of formation density and the physical properties of rocks is the most critical logging tasks which can be obtained using gamma-ray transport and detection tools. Though the simulation works published so far have considerably improved the knowledge of the parameters that govern the responses of the detectors in these tools, recent studies have found considerable differences between the results of using a conventional model of a homogeneous mixture of formation and fluid and an inhomogeneous fractured medium. It has increased concerns about the importance of the complexity of the model used for the medium in simulation works. In the present study, we have suggested two various models for the flow of the fluid in porous media and fractured rock to be used for logging purposes. For a typical gamma-gamma logging tool containing a ¹³⁷Cs source and two NaI detectors, simulated by using the MCNPX code, a simplified porous (SP) model in which the formation is filled with elongated rectangular cubes loaded with either mineral material or oil was investigated. In this model, the oil directly reaches the top of the medium and the connection between the pores is not guaranteed. In the other model, the medium is a large 3-D matrix of 1 cm³ randomly filled cubes. The designed algorithm to fill the matrix sites is so that this realistic random (RR) model provides the continuum growth of oil flow in various disordered directions and, therefore, fulfills the concerns about modeling the rock textures consist of extremely complex pore structures. For an arbitrary set of oil concentrations and various formation materials, the response of the detectors in the logging tool has been considered as a criterion to assess the effect of modeling for the distribution of pores in the formation on simulation studies. The results show that defining a RR model for describing heterogeneities of a porous medium does not effectively improve the prediction of the responses of logging tools. Taking into account the computational cost of the particle transport in the complex geometries in the Monte Carlo method, the SP model can be satisfactory for gamma-gamma logging purposes.

화성 Mawrth Vallis지역의 점토광물을 함유한 층에서 관찰되는 파쇄 패턴의 성인을 파악하기 위해 HiRISE 영상데이터를 활용하여 분석하였다. 함유된 점토광물의 종류에 따라 지표에서 관찰되는 파쇄 패턴에 차이가 나타나는데 논트로나이트를 주로 함유한 지표의 경우 파쇄 패턴이 불규칙적이고 침식을 심하게 받은 상태이나, 몬모릴로나이트를 주로 함유한 층의 지표에는 크기와 형태가 비교적 일관성을 가지는 폴리곤 패턴이 잘 발달되어있다. 이들 폴리곤 파쇄 패턴의 성질은 점토광물 함유층에 따라 달리 해석되는데, 논트로나이트 함유층의 경우 대부분 하중 제거로 인해 발생한 것으로 보이며, 몬모릴로나이트 함유층의 지표에 발달한 파쇄 패턴은 건조 균열로 인해 발생한 것으로 추정된다.
