The present paper evaluates seismic bearing capacity of rock masses subjected to loads of strip footings using the upper bound method. A general formula was proposed to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity considering both the horizontal and vertical accelerations of the earthquake and the effects of footing embedment depth simultaneously. Modified Hoek-Brown failure criterion was employed for the rock mass. Some comparisons were made with the available solutions and the finite element numerical models to show the accuracy of the developed upper bound formulations. The obtained results show significant improvement compared to the other available solutions. By increasing the horizontal earthquake acceleration from 0.1 to 0.3, the bearing capacity was reduced by up to 39%, while the effect of the vertical earthquake acceleration depends on its direction. An upward acceleration in the range of zero to 0.2 results in an increase in the bearing capacity by up to 24%, while the downward earthquake acceleration has an adverse effect. Also, by increasing the embedment depth of the footing from zero to 5 times the footing width, the value of seismic bearing capacity was raised about 86%. The obtained results were presented as design tables for use in practical applications.

본 연구에서는 10개 현장에서 실시한 공내재하시험을 통하여 얻은 변형계수와 RMR과의 상관관계를 분석하여 기존에 사용하고 있는 제안식의 적용성을 평가하였다. RMR이 40보다 작은 경우에는 변형계수와 RMR과의 상관관계가 김교원, Aydan, Serafim과 Pereira의 식과 잘 일치하였지만 RMR이 40보다 큰 경우에는 상관관계가 낮았다. 이것은 RMR 분류 시 일축압축강도나 RQD보다 절리의 상태와 절리의 틈새가 상대적으로 가중치가 크기 때문이며 공학자의 개인적 차이뿐만 아니라 암반의 종류와 다른 풍화도 때문에 정성적으로 평가되는 경향이 있기 때문이다. 퇴적암 중 사암은 제안식과 비교적 잘 일치하지만 다른 사암은 분산이 커서 상관관계가 낮다. 본 연구에서는 현장시험결과를 근거로 새로운 지수함수 형태의 식을 제안하였다.

It is common that the soil layer is a few meters below the earth's surface and the rock mass is below the soil layer in the view of geological characteristics in Korea. And the boundary between rock and soil is clearly divided. When dealing with the stability of rock masses, as in the case of rock slopes or dam foundations, the majority of the collapses is not within the soil layer, but within the soil-rock boundary. Therefore it is important to identify the shear strength characteristics between soil-rock boundary. And then in the method of reinforcement on landslide this chose a cut slope near Daemo elementary school in Seoul, surveyed shear strength between soil-rock contacts and considered a large scale collapse using a limit equilibrium method.

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.

Rheological processes in the rock mass for the stress-strain analysis are quite important when considering the construction of underground structures in soft rock masses, particularly in case of construction in several stages. In the analysis, it can be assumed that the reinforced concrete structure is slightly deformable in relation to the rock mass, and the rheological stress redistribution happens at the expense of the elements of rock mass. The basic elements of rheological models for certain types of rock mass and analysis of these models are presented in the first part of this paper. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of rheological processes in marl rock mass and the influence of these processes on the reinforced-concrete tunnel structure.

본 연구는 국내의 대표적인 화강암 분포지역을 연구대상 지역으로 선정하여 풍화암층에 대하여 수행된 일련의 실내역학 및 원위치시험 결과로부터 풍화도에 따른 화강 풍화암의 강도 변형 특성을 규명하고 설계 단계에서 비교적 시행이 용이한 공내재하시험 결과로부터 풍화도에 따른 화강풍화암의 내부마찰각 및 점착력 등의 강도정수를 평가할 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구대상 지역의 화강 풍화암에 대한 흡수율 및 풍화내구성지수 시험결과를 분석한 결과 풍화 도를 나타내는데 비교적 신뢰성 있는 방법으로 평가되어 이를 근거로 대상 지역의 화강 풍화암을 3등급의 풍화도로 구분할 수 있는 풍화도 분류 방법을 제시하였으며, Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준 및 공동확장이론을 이용한 해석적 방법을 토대로 공내재하시험 결과로부터 연구대상 지역 풍화암의 점착력, 내부마찰각 및 팽창각 등의 강도정수를 풍화도별로 평가하였다. 해석결과 풍화도가 증가할수록 강도정수는 지수적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났는데 본 연구에서 규정한 풍화등급의 경계에서 감소폭이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 공내재하시험 결과로부터 추정된 강도정수를 풍화도와 관련하여 수행한 현장삼축압축시험 결과와 비교 분석하여 검증할 목적으로 연구 중에 있으며 현재까지 수행된 1종의 풍화도에 대하여 수행된 현장삼축압축시험 결과와 비교한 결과 두 결과가 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타나 공내재하시험 결과를 이용한 강도정수 추정법이 신뢰성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

This paper presents the results of full-scale load tests performed frictional anchors to various lengths at several sites in Korea. Various rock types were tested, ranging from highly weathered shale to sound gneiss. In many tests, rock failure was reached and the ultimate loads were recorded along with observations of the shape and extent of the failure surface. Laboratory tests were also conducted to investigate the influence of the corrosion protection sheath on the bond strength. Based on test results, the main parameters governing the uplift capacity of the rock anchor system were determined. By evaluation of the ultimate uplift capacity of anchor foundations in a wide range of in situ rock masses, rock classification suitable for structural foundation was developed. Finally, a very simple and economical design procedure is proposed for rock anchor foundations subjected to uplift tensile loads.

In an earlier publication (Serrano et al. 2014), the theoretical basis for evaluating the shear strength in rock joints was presented and used to derive an equation that governs the relationship between tangential and normal stresses on the joint during slippage between the joint faces. In this paper, the theoretical equation is applied to two non-linear failure criteria by using non-associated flow laws, including the modified Hoek and Brown and modified Mohr-Coulomb equations. The theoretical model considers the geometric dilatancy, the instantaneous friction angle, and a parameter that considers joint surface roughness as dependent variables. This model uses a similar equation structure to the empirical law that was proposed by Barton in 1973. However, a good correlation with the empirical values and, therefore, Barton's equation is necessary to incorporate a non-associated flow law that governs breakage processes in rock masses and becomes more significant in highly fractured media, which can be induced in a rock joint. A linear law of dilatancy is used to assess the importance of the non-associated flow to obtain very close values for different roughness states, so the best results are obtained for null material dilatancy, which considers significant changes that correspond to soft rock masses or altered zones of weakness.

Rock bridges in rock masses would increase the bearing capacity of Non-persistent discontinuities. In this paper the effect of ratio of rock bridge surface to joint surface, rock bridge shape and normal load on failure behaviour of intermittent rock joint were investigated. A total of 42 various models with dimensions of $15cm{\times}15cm{\times}15cm$ of plaster specimens were fabricated simulating the open joints possessing rock bridge. The introduced rock bridges have various continuities in shear surface. The area of the rock bridge was $45cm^2$ and $90cm^2$ out of the total fixed area of $225cm^2$ respectively. The fabricated specimens were subjected to shear tests under normal loads of 0.5 MPa, 2 MPa and 4 MPa in order to investigate the shear mechanism of rock bridge. The results indicated that the failure pattern and the failure mechanism were affected by two parameters; i.e., the ratio of joint surface to rock bridge surface and normal load. So that increasing in joint area in front of the rock bridge changes the shear failure mode to tensile failure mode. Also the tensile failure change to shear failure by increasing the normal load.
