Ground vibrations are an integral part of the process of rock blasting. The sudden acceleration of the rock by the detonation gas pressure acting on the drillhole walls induces dynamic stresses in the surrounding rock mass. This sets up a wave motion in the ground much like the motion in a bowl of jelly when disturbed by the action of a spoon. The wave motion spreads concentrically from the blasting site, particularly along the ground surface, and is therefore attenuated, since its fixed energy is spread over a greater and greater mass of material as it moves away from its origin. Some theoretical aspects of the generation and propagation of vibrations produced in rock blasting are analyzed; although it must be indicated that this is just a mere approximation to the problem, as the actual phenomena are much more complex owing to the interaction of different types of waves and their modifying mechanics.

교통, 굴착, 발파 등에 의한 반복하중은 오랜 시간에 걸쳐서 암석의 미세균열 성장을 일으키며, 암석의 강도 등에 영향을 미치기 때문에 반복하중에 의한 균열의 성장, 결합은 장시간 안정성 평가에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 두 개의 초기 균열을 가지는 모사 암석 시험편에 단조증가 및 반복하중을 가하여 하중 조건에 따른 균열의 성장과 결합유형을 조사하였다. 단조증가하중, 반복하중 시험 모두에서 서로 유사한 날개균열 시작 위치, 날개균열 각도, 균열 성장 순서, 균열 결합 형태가 관측되었다. 본 연구에서 관찰된 균열 결합은 크게 3종류로 전단에 의한 결합, 1개의 날개 혹은 인장 균열에 의한 결합 그리고 2개의 날개 혹은 인장 균열에 의한 결합으로 요약될 수 있다. 피로균열은 반복하중 시험에서만 발생하였으며 성장 방향은 이차균열과 유사하게 초기균열과 같은 방향 혹은 하중방향과 직교인 수평방향으로 관찰되었다.

This paper focuses on the cracking and fragmentation process in rock materials containing a pair of non-parallel flaws, which are through the specimen thickness, under vertical compression. Several numerical experiments are conducted with varying flaw arrangements that affect the initiation and tensile wing cracks, shear crack growth, and crack coalescing behaviors. To obtain realistic numerical results, a parallelized peridynamics formulation coupled with a finite element method, which is able to capture arbitrarily occurring cracks, is employed. From previous studies, crack initiation and propagation of tensile wing cracks, horsetail cracks, and anti-wing cracks are well understood along with the coalescence between two parallel flaws. In this study, the coalescence behaviors, their fragmentation sequences, and the role of an x-shaped shear band in rock material containing two non-parallel flaws are discussed in detail on the basis of simulation results strongly correlated with previous experimental results. Firstly, crack initiation and propagation of tensile wing cracks and shear cracks between non-parallel flaws are investigated in time-history and then sequential coalescing behavior is analyzed. Secondly, under the effect of varying inclination angles of two non-parallel flaws and overlapping ratios between a pair of non-parallel flaws, the cracking patterns including crack coalescence, fragmentation, and x-shaped shear band are investigated. These numerical results, which are in good agreement with reported physical test results, are expected to provide insightful information of the fracture mechanism of rock with non-parallel flaws.

Many laboratory experiments on crack propagation under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading have been conducted in the past using transparent materials such as resin, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc. However, propagation behaviors of three-dimensional (3D) cracks in rock or rock-like materials under tri-axial loading are often considerably different. In this study, a series of true tri-axial loading tests on the rock-like material with two semi-ellipse pre-existing cracks were performed in laboratory to investigate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and propagation characteristics of 3D crack groups influenced by intermediate principal stress. Compared with previous experiments under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading, the tests under true tri-axial loading showed that shear cracks, anti-wing cracks and secondary cracks were the main failure mechanisms, and the initiation and propagation of tensile cracks were limited. Shear cracks propagated in the direction parallel to pre-existing crack plane. With the increase of intermediate principal stress, the critical stress of crack initiation increased gradually, and secondary shear cracks may no longer coalesce in the rock bridge. Crack aperture decreased with the increase of intermediate principal stress, and the failure is dominated by shear fracturing. There are two stages of fracture development: stable propagation stage and unstable failure stage. The AE events occurred in a zone parallel to pre-existing crack plane, and the AE zone increased gradually with the increase of intermediate principal stress, eventually forming obvious shear rupture planes. This shows that shear cracks initiated and propagated in the pre-existing crack direction, forming a shear rupture plane inside the specimens. The paths of fracturing inside the specimens were observed using the Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning and reconstruction.

Resilient materials are generally used for the floating floors to reduce the floor impact sound. Dynamic stiffness of resilient material, which has the most to do with the floor impact sound reduction. The resilient materials available in Korea include EPS (Styrofoam), recycled urethane types, EVA (Ethylene Vinylacetate) foam rubber, foam PE (Polyethylene), glass fiber & rock wool, recycled tire, foam polypropylene, compressed polyester, and other synthetic materials. In this study, we tested floor impact sound reduction characteristic to a lot of kinds of resilient material. The result of test showed that the amount of the heavy-weight impact sound reduction appeared by being influenced from this dynamic stiffness of resilient material. The dynamic stiffness looked like between other resilient materials, a similar to the amount of the heavy-weight impact sound reduction was shown.

Non-Deformable Support System (NDSS) is one of the support system analysis methods. It is likely seen as numerical analysis. Obviously, numerical modeling is the key tool for this system but not unique. Although the name of the system makes you feel that there is no deformation on the support system, it is not true. The system contains some deformation but in certain tolerance determined by the numerical analyses. The important question is what is the deformation tolerance? Zero deformation in the excavation environment is not the case, actually. However, deformation occurred after supporting is important. This deformation amount will determine the performance of the applied support. NDSS is a stronghold analysis method applied in full to make this work. While doing this, NDSS uses the properties of rock mass and material, various rock mass failure criteria, various material models, different excavation geometries, like other methods. The thing that differ NDSS method from the others is that NDSS makes analysis using the time dependent deformation properties of rock mass and engineering judgement. During the evaluation process, NDSS gives the permission of questioning the field observations, measurements and timedependent support performance. These transactions are carried out with 3-dimensional numeric modeling analysis. The goal of NDSS is to design a support system which does not allow greater deformation of the support system than that calculated by numerical modeling. In this paper, NDSS applied to the problems of Tunnel 34 of the same Project (excavated with NATM method, has a length of 2218 meters), which is driven in graphite schist, was illustrated. Results of the system analysis and insitu measurements successfully coincide with each other.

본 연구에서는 암석과 흙이 혼합된 성토재료를 대상으로 다짐 시 함수조건 및 입도조건 등에 따라 Wetting이 성토제체의 장기압축침하에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 완전 침수를 모사한 경우 침하량이 상대적으로 매우 크게 나타났으며, 강우침투와 같이 반복적인 함수비의 증가 시에도 반복적인 침하가 관측되었다. 반면 습윤상태에서 다져진 시료나 세립분이 없는 재료의 경우에는 Wetting에 의한 침하량이 상대적으로 적게 발생되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 동결 융해가 반복되는 경우 입자파쇄의 가속화로 압축침하가 지속적으로 발생되고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 이와 같은 재료에서의 장기적인 성토체 압축침하거동에는 크리프의 영향보다 함수비 증가나 반복적인 동결융해 조건이 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the general theory of fractality is discussed to provide a fundamental understanding of fractal geometry applied to heterogeneous material surfaces like pavement surface and rock surface. It is well known that many physical phenomena and systems are chaotic, random and that the features of roughness are found at a wide spectrum of length scales from the length of the sample to the atomic scales. Studying the mechanics of these physical phenomena, it is absolutely necessary to characterize such multi scaled rough surfaces and to know the structural property of such surfaces at all length scales relevant to the phenomenon. This study emphasizes the role of fractal geometry to characterize the roughness of various surfaces. Pavement roughness and rock surface roughness were examined to correlate their roughness property to fractality.

대구 지역의 경우 최근의 지하철 1호선 공사 완공과 함께 2~4호선 공사와 더불어 많은 양의 토사와 암석들을 발생기킬 것으로 생각되지만, 발생되는 암석류는 주로 기계적 강도가 낮고 팽창, 수축에 대한 내성이 작아서 쉽게 분쇄되는 단점을 갖는 퇴적암이 대부분이므로 자원 공학적 측면에서 활용가치에 어려움이 있는 것으로 생각된다. 하지만, 천연자원이 부족한 우리나라의 경우 지반자원을 이용한다는 것은 자원의 활용이라는 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대구지역에 다량으로 매장되어 있는 퇴적암을 파쇄한 후 골재로서의 타당성여부를 도로공사 현장에 많이 사용되어지고 있는 화강암 골재와 비교 검토하였다. 결과적으로 각각의 시료가 원암석의 역학적 특성에서는 양호한 결과를 나타내었으나, 골재의 안정성 시험에서는 블랙셰일이 12.9%, 레드셰일이 37.5%로 KS규준에 미달하였다. 콘크리트 동결-융해 시험결과 세 암석이 큰차이를 보이지 않았으나, 레드셰일이 상대적으로 약하게 나타났다. 아스팔트 동결융해 시험에서는 50cycle에서의 안정도값은 레드셰일이 표층과 기층에서 각각 484~561kg, 336~375kg으로 낮은 결과가 나타났다. 이를 통해 셰일의 골재로서 타당성 여부는 추후에 더 연구되어져야 한다.

암반에 발달하고 있는 단층이나 절리와 같은 불연속면뿐만 아니라 점토의 함량비, 팽창성 점토물질의 협재, 배수특성(drainage) 등은 암반의 붕괴여부를 결정하는 중요한 인자들이다. 특히 점토광물의 성분은 강우에 의한 암반붕괴를 예측할 수 있는 중요한 지표가 될 수 있다. 최근 사면이나 터널의 설계에서도 그 중요성이 점차 증가하는 추세이다. 본 연구는 니질천매암과 사질천매암이 호층을 이루고 있는 OO 터널의 선진시추코어(horizontal boring core)를 이용하여 단층발달에 따른 광물성분의 변화 및 이들이 불연속면의 역학성에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 암석 구성물질과 파생된 점토광물을 비교하여 암반의 불안정성을 추정하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법은 시추코어 중에서 단층의 영향을 받은 구간과 비교적 신선한 구간에서 시료를 채취하여 박편을 제작하여 관찰하였고, 점토광물의 성분 및 함량을 분석하였다. 그리고 야외조사와 실내 시험으로 단층물질의 강도정수를 구하였다.
