This study concerns bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations on jointed rock mass. The main focus of this research lies on getting insight into the applicability of bearing capacity estimation methods developed by other researchers. First, an extensive literature review was performed on previous studies concerning bearing capacity of foundation on jointed rock mass. Second, a parametric study on a number of jointed rock conditions using the finite-element analysis. The results of the analysis were then compared with those computed by the bearing capacity estimation method.

In this study, numerical study of a long, straight, side-anchored floating bridge with discrete pontoons subjected to combined earthquakes and waves is conducted. Ground motions with magnitude corresponding to 200 YRP (years return period) earthquake in South Korea are generated based on the spectral matching method from a past earthquake record in California. Several sensitivity studies are carried out for bridge end condition, for different site classes (hard rock S1 and soft and deep soil S5), and for three different excitations (earthquake only, wave only, and earthquake-wave combined). Bridge and pontoon motions, bending moments along the bridge, and mooring tensions are systematically examined through coupled time-domain simulations by commercial program OrcaFlex. The numerical results show that the impact of earthquakes on floating bridges is still of importance especially for soft soil although ground motions are less directly applied to the structure than fixed bridges.

본 연구에서는 2차원 유한차분 해석을 이용하여 절리암반에 시공된 말뚝기초의 선단지지력을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 암반의 절리상태를 고려할 수 있는 Hoek-Brown 항복규준을 이용하여 다양한 조건의 수치해석이 수행되었다. 넓은 범위의 절리상태를 고려하기 위하여 GSI를 주 매개변수로 설정하였고 말뚝 직경, 암반의 일축압축강도, Hoek-Brown 상수 $m_0$의 매개변수 영향을 살펴보았다. 본 연구결과 매개변수들의 변화에 따른 절리 암반에 설치된 말뚝기초의 선단지지력 변화 경향을 확인하였고 이러한 결과를 토대로 매개변수 분석에 따른 선단지지력 결과를 도출하였다.

대규모 암반 사면에서 비연속성의 절리계가 발달할 때, 계단상 활동면에 의한 사면 파괴가 발생할 수 있다. 계단상 활동면은 절리-절리 활동면 또는 절리-암교 활동면으로 구분할 수 있으며, 절리-암교 활동면에서 암교는 절리와 평행한 전단 저항과 절리에 수직인 인장 저항을 제공한다. 계단 경로 파괴는 활동 암괴의 하중에 의해 암교의 파괴가 발생하여 암교 양단의 두 절리가 연결되며 발생한다. 암교의 길이가 동일하다면 암석의 인장강도가 전단강도에 비해 낮으므로 절리에 수직으로 형성된 암교가 파괴에 취약하며, 불연속면 간격/길이의 비가 작을수록 계단 경로 파괴의 가능성이 커진다. 비연속성의 절리가 발달하는 암반 사면의 계단상 활동 파괴 위험에 대한 평가를 위해서는 체계적인 불연속면 조사 및 분석을 통해 계단 경로 파괴면을 구성하여 한계 평형 해석 또는 수치 해석 등의 안정성 평가를 수행하여야 한다.

The present article discusses the effect of the ratio of bridge surface to total shear surface, number of bridge areas and normal stress on the failure behavior of the planar non-persistent open joints. Totally, 38 models were prepared using plaster and dimensions of $15cm{\times}15cm{\times}15cm$. The bridge area occupied $45cm^2$, $90cm^2$ and $135cm^2$ out of the shear surface. The number of rock bridges increase in fixed area. Two similar samples were prepared on every variation in the rock bridges and tested for direct shear strength under two high and low normal loads. The results indicated that the failure pattern and the failure mechanism is mostly influenced by the ratio of bridge surface to total shear surface and normal stress so that the tensile failure mode change to shear failure mode by increasing in the value of introduced parameters. Furthermore, the shear strength and shear stiffness are closely related to the ratio of bridge surface to total shear surface, number of bridge areas and normal stress.

Determination of the mechanical behaviour of jointed rock masses has been a challenge for rock engineers for decades. This problem is more pronounced for non-persistent jointed rock masses due to complicated interaction of rock bridges on the overall behaviour. This paper aims to study the effect of a non-persistent joint set configuration on the mechanical behaviour of rock materials under both uniaxial and biaxial compression tests using a discrete element code. The numerical simulation of biaxial compressive strength of rock masses has been challenging in the past due to shortcomings of bonded particle models in reproducing the failure envelope of rock materials. This problem was resolved in this study by employing the flat-joint contact model. The validity of the numerical model was investigated through a comprehensive comparative study against physical uniaxial and biaxial compression experiments. Good agreement was found between numerical and experimental tests in terms of the recorded peak strength and the failure mode in both loading conditions. Studies on the effect of joint orientation on the failure mode showed that four zones of intact, transition to block rotation, block rotation and transition to intact failure occurs when the joint dip angle varies from 0° to 90°. It was found that the applied confining stress can significantly alter the range of these zones. It was observed that the minimum strength occurs at the joint dip angle of around 45 degrees under different confining stresses. It was also found that the joint orientation can alter the post peak behaviour and the lowest brittleness was observed at the block rotation zone.

암석은 지질학적 생성과정으로 인해 많은 역학적 결함을 포함하고 있으며 이러한 결함 사이에는 암석 브릿지가 존재하게 된다. 이러한 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 전파 및 결합(coalescence)과정은 사면, 기초, 터널 등의 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 단축압축 하에서 균열의 형상변화에 따른 암석 브릿지에서의 균열의 개시, 전파 및 결합거동 변화에 대해 알아보았다. 여산 대리석을 재료로 120$\times$60$\times$25 mm크기의 시료에 균열각도 $\alpha$, 브릿지각도 $\beta$, 균열길이 2c, 브릿지길이 2b를 변화시키면서 2개의 인공균열을 제작하였다. 하중을 가하면서 날개형 균열개시응력, 날개형 균열 전파각도, 균열결합 응력을 측정하였으며 균열결합 유형을 정리하였다. 또한, 정규화된 최대강도(normalized peak strength)를 구하여 Ashby & Hallam 모형 (1986)의 이론해와 비교, 분석 하였다.

암반에 근입된 현장타설말뚝은 뛰어난 암반의 지지능력을 이용함으로써 교량이나 다른 대형구조물의 기초형식으로 널리 사용 중이다. 이러한 암반 근입 말뚝의 지지력은 주면 마찰력과 선단지지력으로 나누어 지는데 이 중 암바부의 주면마찰력이 대부분의 상부하중을 지지하는 경우가 많다. 몇몇의 연구자들에 의하여 암반 근입부의 공벽 거칠기가 주면마찰력에 영향을 준다는 보고를 하였으나, 거칠기에 중요한 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되는 굴착장비에 따른 거칠기에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 현장시험을 통하여 암반 굴착장비에 따른 공벽 거칠기에 대한 영향을 분석하였고, 그 결과로 굴착도구가 거칠기에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

The rapid growth of the economy recently gas led to increasing social needs for large scaled structures, such as high-rise buildings and long span bridges. In building these large-scaled structures the trend has been to construct foundations beating on or in rock masses in order to ensure stability and serviceability of the structure under several significant loads. However. when designing the drilled shaft foundation socketed in rock masses in Korea, the bearing capacity for the pier used to be determined by using the empirical expression, which depends on the compressive strength of the rock, or presumable bearing capacity recommended on foreign references or manuals. In this study, numerical analyses are used to trace rock-socketed pile behavior and are made alike with pile load test result in field. The result of this numerical analyses study have shown that following factors have a significant influence on the load capacity and settlement of the pier. Significant influence first factor of the geometry of the socket as defined by the length to diameter ratio. Second factor of the modulus of the rock both around the socket and below the base. third factor of the condition of the end of the pier with respect to the removal of drill cuttings and other loose material from the bottom of the socket.

Pounding is a major cause of bridge damage during earthquakes. In an extreme situation, it can even contribute to the unseating of bridge girders. Long-span bridges will inevitably experience spatially varying ground motions. Soil-structure interaction (SSI) may play a significant role in the structural response of these structures. The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate the effect of spatially varying ground motions on the response of a three-segment bridge considering SSI and pounding. To incorporate SSI, the model was placed on sand contained in sandboxes. The sandboxes were fabricated using soft rubber in order to minimise the rigid wall effect. The spatially varying ground motion inputs were simulated based on the New Zealand design spectra for soft soil, shallow soil and strong rock conditions, using an empirical coherency loss function. The results show that with pounding, SSI can amplify the pier bending moments and the relative opening displacements.
