  • Rock masses usually contain such features as bedding planes, faults, fissures, fractures, joints and other mechanical defects which, although formed from a wide range of geological processes, posses the common characteristics of low shear strength, negligible tensile strength and high fluid conductivity compared with the surrounding rock material. In the engineering context here, the discontinuities can be the single most important factor governing the deformability, strength and permeability of the rock mass. Moreover, a particularly large and persistent discontinuity could critically affect the stability of any surface or underground excavation. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop a thorough understanding of the geometrical, mechanical and hydrological properties of discontinuities and the way in which these will affect rock mechanics and hence rock engineering.

  • 암반 내 구조물을 시공하는 경우 역학적 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 암반의 특성을 조사한다. 이 경우 암반의 특성은 주로 암반 내 절리의 특성에 의하여 좌우된다. 지금까지는 암반 내 절리의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 암반이 노출된 사면이나 노두에 접근하고 육안으로 직접 관찰하였다. 이때 급사면과 같은 곳에서 접근의 문제, 작업의 안전 문제, 많은 시판이 걸리는 문제, 조사시간에 비하여 얻은 정보량의 부족, 정보의 재현 문제, 측정 오차 문제 등의 제한이 있었다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제를 개선하기 위하여 LIDAR (light detection and ranging)로 암반을 스캔하여 얻은 포인트 클라우드(point cloud)글 Split-FX 소프트웨어로 처리한 결과 절기의 방향과 간격 및 절리면의 거칠기 등 절리의 특성을 정확하고 효율적으로 분석할 수 있었다.

  • A rock mass containing non-persistent joints can only fail if the joints propagate and coalesce through an intact rock bridge. Shear strength of rock mass containing non-persistent joints is highly affected by the both, mechanical behavior and geometrical configuration of non-persistent joints located in a rock mass. Existence of rock joints and rock bridges are the most important factors complicating mechanical responses of a rock mass to stress loading. The joint-bridge interaction and bridge failure dominates mechanical behavior of jointed rock masses and the stability of rock excavations. The purpose of this review paper is to present techniques, progresses and the likely future development directions in experimental and numerical modelling of a non-persistent joint failure behaviour. Such investigation is essential to study the fundamental failures occurring in a rock bridge, for assessing anticipated and actual performances of the structures built on or in rock masses. This paper is divided into two sections. In the first part, experimental investigations have been represented followed by a summarized numerical modelling. Experimental results showed failure mechanism of a rock bridge under different loading conditions. Also effects of the number of non-persistent joints, angle between joint and a rock bridge, lengths of the rock bridge and the joint were investigated on the rock bridge failure behaviour. Numerical simulation results are used to validate experimental outputs.

  • Deformation of rock masses is not only related to rock itself, but also related to discontinuities, the latter maybe greater. Study on crack propagation at discontinuities is important to reveal the damage law of rock masses. DDARF is a discontinuous deformation analysis method for rock failure and some modified algorithms are proposed in this study. Firstly, coupled modeling methods of AutoCAD-DDARF and ANSYS-DDARF are introduced, which could improve the modeling efficiency of DDARF compared to its original program. Secondly, a convergence criterion for automatically judging the computation equilibrium is established, it could overcome subjective drawbacks of ending one calculation by time steps. Lastly but not the least, relationship between the super relaxation factor and the calculation convergence is analyzed, and reasonable value range of the super relaxation factor is obtained. Based on these above modified programs, influences on crack propagation of joint angle, joint parameters and geo-stresses' side pressure are studied.

  • The Grout-reinforcement technique which is widely used during the excavation of a shallow or an endangered tunnel can be classified into a couple of groups according to the properties and injection methods of the grout. The reinforcement design will, therefore, take a different approach based on the grouting method under consideration. However, the injection procedure is mainly performed by the experience of the foreman rather than engineering judgement , specifically the permeation grouting through the rock joints and its reinforcement effect Is not fully under-stood during the design stage, In this study, the anisotropic material properties of the grout-reinforced rock masses are derived from the concept of composite materials and the effect of intact rock, vertical grouting and permeation grouting is, therefore, fully accounted for. Through the parametric studies on the characteristics of rock joints, intact rock and grouting materials, various case studies have been considered. The results, illustrated via the design charts, can be directly used during the reinforcement design.

  • DDARF (Discontinuous Deformation Analysis for Rock Failure) is a numerical algorithm for simulating jointed rock masses' discontinuous deformation. While its reinforcement simulation is only limited to end-anchorage bolt, which is assumed to be a linear spring simply. Here, several new reinforcement modes in DDARF are proposed, including lining reinforcement, full-length anchorage bolt and equivalent reinforcement. In the numerical simulation, lining part is assigned higher mechanical strength than surrounding rock masses, it may include multiple virtual joints or not, depending on projects. There must be no embedding or stretching between lining blocks and surrounding blocks. To realize simulation of the full-length anchorage bolt, at every discontinuity passed through the bolt, a set of normal and tangential spring needs to be added along the bolt's axial and tangential direction. Thus, bolt's axial force, shearing force and full-length anchorage effect are all realized synchronously. And, failure criterions of anchorage effect are established for different failure modes. In the meantime, from the perspective of improving surrounding rock masses' overall strength, a new equivalent and tentative simulation method is proposed, it can save calculation storage and improve efficiency. Along the text, simulation algorithms and applications of these new reinforcement modes in DDARF are given.

  • 불연속면이 발달한 암반 내에서 해저터널을 건설할 경우 절리내의 지하수 흐름이 터널거동에 커다란 영향을 미치므로 안정성 평가 시 수리-역학적 연계해석이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 불연속체의 연계해석 시 터널의 안전율을 산정하는 루틴의 검증을 위해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 암반블록과 절리의 상호작용을 해석할 수 있는 UDEC-2D 프로그램을 이용하였으며 총 324가지의 경우에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 불연속체 연계해석을 위해 제안된 안전율 산정 루틴이 타당한 결과를 줌을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 사용된 안전율 산정 방법이 불연속 암반 내에 시공되는 해저터널의 안정성 평가 시 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Grouting method is an effective way of reinforcing cracked rock masses and plugging water gushing. Current grouting diffusion models are generally developed for horizontal cracks, which is contradictory to the fact that the crack generally occurs in rock masses with irregular spatial distribution characteristics in real underground environments. To solve this problem, this study selected a cement-sodium silicate slurry (C-S slurry) generally used in engineering as a fast-curing grouting material and regarded the C-S slurry as a Bingham fluid with time-varying viscosity for analysis. Based on the theory of fluid mechanics, and by simultaneously considering the deadweight of slurry and characteristics of non-uniform spatial distribution of viscosity of fast-curing grouts, a theoretical model of slurry diffusion in an oblique crack in rock masses at constant grouting rate was established. Moreover, the viscosity and pressure distribution equations in the slurry diffusion zone were deduced, thus quantifying the relationship between grouting pressure, grouting time, and slurry diffusion distance. On this basis, by using a 3-d finite element program in multi-field coupled software Comsol, the numerical simulation results were compared with theoretical calculation values, further verifying the effectiveness of the theoretical model. In addition, through the analysis of two engineering case studies, the theoretical calculations and measured slurry diffusion radius were compared, to evaluate the application effects of the model in engineering practice. Finally, by using the established theoretical model, the influence of cracking in rock masses on the diffusion characteristics of slurry was analysed. The results demonstrate that the inclination angle of the crack in rock masses and azimuth angle of slurry diffusion affect slurry diffusion characteristics. More attention should be paid to the actual grouting process. The results can provide references for determining grouting parameters of fast-curing grouts in engineering practice.

  • 본 연구에서는 제주도 북동부 육 해상 및 북서부 육상에 위치한 현무암반에 대한 공내재하시험으로부터 계측된 변형계수와 RQD 및 RMR의 관계를 각각 살펴보았으며, 기존의 경험식들로부터 추정된 변형계수 값과 비교 분석하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 속도검층시험을 통하여 산정된 탄성파 속도비 및 동적 포아송 비와 변형계수의 관계에 대해서도 각각 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 다공성 구조 및 층상 구조가 특징인 제주도 현무암반의 경우, RQD 값만을 이용한 암반등급의 결정, 변형계수 계측방법의 선정 및 변형계수의 추정은 부적절하며, 최소한 RMR을 통하여 암반등급을 결정하고, 변형계수를 추정하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. RMR을 이용한 기존의 변형계수 추정식은 제주도 현무암반의 변형계수에 비해 큰 값을 예측하는 경향을 보였으며, 탄성파 속도비 및 동적 포아송 비와 변형계수는 서로 정성적인 특성이 일치하는 관계에 있었다. 그리고, 적절한 제주도 현무암반의 변형계수를 추정하기 위한 RMR과 탄성파 속도비를 이용한 변형계수 추정식을 각각 제시하였다.
