본 연구는 변성 및 단층의 영향을 받은 운모편암의 풍화 특성에 관한 고찰로 여러 실내 실험을 통하여 운모편암의 풍화 특성을 규명하였다. 물리적-화학적 풍화현상을 모사한 동결-융해실험은 운모편암에 발달한 엽리면의 영향으로 일축압축강도의 저하가 풍화상태에 따라 $20{\sim}40%$ 발생함을 보여주고 있다. 서로 다른 풍화등급의 가진 시료에 대하여 슬레이킹 내구성 실험을 실시한 결과 단층파쇄대 부근의 심한 풍화상태의 시료의 내구성 지수가 상대적으로 신선한 시료보다 낮음을 볼 수 있었다. 슬레이킹 실험 전후의 시료에 대한 XRD 분석을 통하여 건습에 의해 녹니석과 같은 점토광물이 용탈되는 광물의 동적변화 양상을 알아보았다. 시간에 따른 운모편암의 거동은 크릴시험을 통하여 알아보았는데 이 역시 암석내에 발달한 엽리면에서의 거동이 주요한 변형 원인으로 나타났다. 불연속면의 전단특성은 불연속면에 충진되어 있는 점토광물의 영향을 많이 받고 있으며 최대전단강도와 잔류전단강도의 차이가 크게 발생함을 볼수 있었다. 이러한 실내실험들은 운모편암의 공학적 특성은 엽리면 혹은 불연속면의 거동에 많은 영향을 받을 것이라는 것을 보여주고 있다.

Manually mapping fractures in construction stone mines is challenging, time-consuming, and hazardous. In this method, there is no physical access to all points. In contrast, digital image processing offers a safe, cost-effective, and fast alternative, with the capability to map all joints. In this study, two methods of detecting the trace of discontinuities using image processing in construction stone mines are presented. To achieve this, we employ two modified Hough transform algorithms and the degree of neighborhood technique. Initially, we introduced a method for selecting the best edge detector and smoothing algorithms. Subsequently, the Canny detector and median smoother were identified as the most efficient tools. To trace discontinuities using the mentioned methods, common preprocessing steps were initially applied to the image. Following this, each of the two algorithms followed a distinct approach. The Hough transform algorithm was first applied to the image, and the traces were represented through line drawings. Subsequently, the Hough transform results were refined using fuzzy clustering and reduced clustering algorithms, along with a novel algorithm known as the farthest points' algorithm. Additionally, we developed another algorithm, the degree of neighborhood, tailored for detecting discontinuity traces in construction stones. After completing the common preprocessing steps, the thinning operation was performed on the target image, and the degree of neighborhood for lineament pixels was determined. Subsequently, short lines were removed, and the discontinuities were determined based on the degree of neighborhood. In the final step, we connected lines that were previously separated using the method to be described. The comparison of results demonstrates that image processing is a suitable tool for identifying rock mass discontinuity traces. Finally, a comparison of two images from different construction stone mines presented at the end of this study reveals that in images with fewer traces of discontinuities and a softer texture, both algorithms effectively detect the discontinuity traces.

암반으로 구성된 사면의 안정성은 암반 내에 포함되어 있는 불연속면의 방향과 강도 특성에 의해 좌우된다. 특히 암반사면의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인은 암반 내 불연속면의 방향과 사면 방향의 상대적 위치로 운동학적 분석에서는 이러한 사면의 방향성과 불연속면의 방향의 상대적 위치를 고려하여 사면 붕괴의 발생 여부를 판단한다. 기존의 운동학적 분석은 사면의 대표적인 방향을 먼저 결정하고 사면내에 분포하는 대표적인 불연속면의 방향성과의 비교를 통해 사면에서의 파괴 발생 여부를 평가하는 방식으로 수행되어왔다. 그러나 사면의 대표적인 방향성만을 이용하여 운동학적 분석을 수행하는 경우 사면 내에서 발생하는 사면 방향의 변화를 분석에 고려하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한 불연속면 방향의 경우 불확실성에 의해 동일한 불연속면군에 속한 불연속면이라도 분산이 커지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 보완하기 위하여 수치지형도를 이용하여 사면을 여러 개의 cell로 구분하고 각 cell에서 사면의 경사방향과 경사를 획득하였다. 그리고 각 cell의 사면 방향을 불연속면의 방향성과 비교하여 각 cell에서의 평면파괴에 대한 운동학적 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 불연속면 방향성에 개입된 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 불연속면의 경사와 경사방향을 확률변수로 선정하고 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 확률론적 해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 해석기법의 적정성을 파악하기 위하여 급경사지의 사면이 분포하고 있는 강원도 춘천시 관내 배후령길을 대상으로 분석을 수행하였다.

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.

사용후핵연료 심층처분장 처분공에 설치된 압축 벤토나이트 완충재가 처분공 내벽에 형성된 굴착손상영역 불연속면 내로 침투하는 현상을 보다 더 현실적으로 모사할 수 있는 수학적 모델이 개발되었다. 이 모델에서는 압축 벤토나이트의 침투를 평행 평판 암반 절리을 통한 Bingham 유체의 이동으로 가정한다. 개발된 모델에 의해 벤토나이트의 침투현상을 분석한 결과, 암반 절리를 통해 압축 벤토나이트가 침투하는 최대 깊이는 포화 압축 벤토나이트의 팽윤압과 암반 절리의 폭에 비례하며, 압축 벤토나이트의 항복강도에 반비례하였다. 압축 벤토나이트의 점도는 압축 벤토나이트의 침투 속도를 좌우하나, 최대 침투깊이에는 영향을 미치지 않는다.

The conical-ended borehole technique and hemispherical-ended borehole technique are proposed, for the accurate stress measurement within a rock mass. Theory of stress tensor determination and in situ measurement system are presented with successful case examples, and the characteristics of stress distribution within rock masses are examined by the multiple times measurement in a single borehole. Subsequently, the problem in relation to the numerical approach for cavern designing is discussed on the basis of the dependency of the stress discontinuity on the geological discontinuities and so on.

Distribution of fracture system is an important factor to analyse instability of jointed rock slope. In the most case of rock slopes, joint distribution properties are related to potential, shape, size and locality of slope failure. The purpose of this paper is to present an application of fracture characterization related to rock slope failure. Fracture data used in this study are collected by scanline survey. Two aspects of fracture characterization for rock slope are handled in this study First, In order to determine the potential and shape of slope failure, trace length of joints is considered as the weighting factor about collected orientation data. Second, Relationship between trace length and spacing is analysed to estimate failure location and size. The distribution of fracture system is directly influenced on wedge failure. It is effective to analyse the orientation of fractures by using weighting factors associated with the trace length of fractures rather than to analyse only that of fractures. It gives a conclusion that the wedge failure occurred along the peak of fracture density(or intensity) cycles.

It is very difficult to determine the failure block scale in great rock slopes. Especially, postulating entire slope domain as a failure block without attention to discontinuity trace lenth makes very confuse and difficult to design rock slopes. In this paper, we estimate realistic failure block scale using joint system simulation method and introduce the application procedures on rock slope analysis. Besides, presenting how joint characteristics measurement and statistical analysis results are applicated to slope stability analysis design flow.

Geological events which are undetected by the surface geophysical or geological survey phase can cause many problems, especially when the tunnel is excavated by TBM. To detect the geological events ahead of tunnel face, a seismic method applied from VSP method is used. Generally uniaxial geophone has been used in surface seismic survey. But this time, triaxial geophone is used to reduce the noise of tunnel wave. DME(Dip moveout Enhancement) filter and diffraction stack method are used. Applying these techniques to the road tunnel in construction, it is proved that the geological events ahead of tunnel face is fairly well predicted. From the seismic trace, Vp and Vs which are related to the rock property can be also obtained. Rock property and proper support design can be dedced from these parameters.

Collapse shape of tunnel roof in layered Hoek-Brown rock media is investigated within the framework of upper bound theorem. The traditional collapse mechanism for homogeneous stratum is no longer suitable for the present analysis of roof stability, and it would be necessary to propose a curve failure mode to describe the velocity discontinuity surface in layered media. What is discussed in the paper is that the failure mechanism of tunnel roofs, consisting of two different functions, is proposed for layered rock media. Then it is employed to investigate the impending roof failure. Based on the nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion, the collapse volume of roof blocks are derived with the upper bound theorem and variational principle. Numerical calculations and parametric analysis are carried out to illustrate the effects of different parameters on the shape of failure mechanism, which is of overriding significance to the stability analysis of tunnel roof in layered rock media.
