  • The distinct element method(DEM) si well suited to the kinematic analysis of blocky rock masses. Two distinctive problems, a rock avalache and tunnel in jointed rock masses, are chosen to apply the DEM which is based on perfectly rigid behaviour of blocks. Investigated for both problems are the effects of the input parameters such as contact stiffnesses, friction coefficient and damping property. Using various types of models of the avalanche and tunne, an extensive parametric study is done to gain experiences in the method, and then to alleviate difficulties in determining parameter values suitable for a given problem. The coefficient of frictio has significant effects on all aspects of avalanche motion(travel distance, velocity and travel time), while the stiffnesses affect the rebounding and jumping motions after collision. The motion predicted by the models having single and mutiple blocks agrees well to the observations reported on the actual avalache. For the tunnel problem, the behaviour of the key block in an example tunnel is compared by testing values of the input parameters. The stability of the tunnel is dependent primarily on the friction coefficient, while the stiffness and damping properties influence the block velocity. The kinematic stability of a tunnel for underground unclear waste repository is analyzed using the joint geometry data(orientation, spacing and persistence) occurred in a tailrace tunnel. Allowing a small deviation to the mean orientation results in different modes of failure of the rock blocks around the tunnel. Of all parameters tested, the most important to the stability of the tunnel in blocky rock masses are the geometry of the blocks generated by mapping the joint and tunnel surfaces in 3-dimensions and also the friction coefficient of the joints particularly for the stability of the side walls.

  • 블럭이론에서는 불연속면의 유한한 연속성을 무시하여 불연속면이 암반내에서 무한이 연속되어진다고 가정하였다. 본 논문에서는 터널시공의 안정성 평가기법으로 불연속면의 유한한 연속성을 고려한 키블럭 해석기법을 제안하고, 실제의 현장에 적용했다. 불연속면 원반 모델을 이용하여 불연속면의 연속성을 고려한 3차원 암반블럭의 생성을 판정하였다. 이 판정기 법은 블럭의 형상에 관계없이 모든 형상의 블럭이 인식가능하여 복잡한 굴착면의 문제에 적용가능 하다. 판정된 암반블럭에 대해서 거동성 및 안정성을 해석하였다. 실제 건설중에 있는 대단면 터널현장에 적용하여 해석결과를 비교 검토하므로써, 본 논문에서 개발한 수치해석기법의 타당성과 적용성에 대한 검증을 하였다.

  • The process of slope stability analysis is one of the most important stages in design of some civil and mining projects. Bimslopes are made from bimrocks (block-in-matrix rocks) where rocky blocks are distributed in a bonded matrix of finer texture. These kind of slopes are often seen in weathered and near-surface depths. Previous studies have shown that VBP (Volumetric Block Proportion) is one of the most significant factors affecting bimrocks strength and consequently the stability of bimslopes. In this paper, the influence of block inclinations on bimslope stability have been investigated. For this purpose, 180 theoretical models have been made with various VBPs, all of them have a specified block size distribution. These bimslopes contain blocks with differing dips relative the slope inclination. Also for each kind of block inclination, 10 different blocks arrangements have been modeled. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to analysis the stability of these bimslopes models. The results showed the inclination of blocks has a strong impact on the Safety Factor and stability of bimslopes. When the difference in angle of dip of blocks relative to the slope angle is maximum, the Safety Factor of bimslopes tends to be a maximum compared with the matrix-only state. Furthermore, with increasing VBP of bimslopes stability increases. The graphs obtained from this study could be used for preliminary guidance in the projects design with bimslopes.

  • 불연속 변형 해석법(Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Method)은 1988년에 Shi에 의해 개발되었으며, 암반-구조물 상호작용 모델링에 매우 효율적인 해석법이다. 이 해석법에서 암반은 유한하고 변형가능한 블록으로 간주되며, 암반의 대변형 및 이동이 가능하다. 그 후, DDA 방법에 대한 여러가지 보완사례가 발표되었으나, 균열이 발달한 암반의 지표 또는 지중 굴착 모델링에 긴요한 지하수-암반블록 상호작용 모델링은 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 암반 블록 사이의 수리 력학적 커플링을 고려하기 위한 새로운 방법이 제시된다. 또한, 이 방법이 보완된 새로운 DDA해석법의 적용 예가 제시된다. 본 연구결과 암반 균열 사이를 흐르는 지하수는 터널의 안정성에 나쁜 영향을 미친다는 사실이 확인되었다.

  • The block theory with stereographic projection was applied and analyzed on the tunnel section of Samcheok Coal Mine. The results were as follows ; 1) Prevail orientations of discontinuity of sandstone around the main driftway of Samcheok Coal Mine were $(327^{\circ},\;44^{\circ}),\;(13^{\circ},\;24^{\circ}),\;(204^{\circ},\;65^{\circ})$ and $(225^{\circ},\;77^{\circ})$ in dip and dip direction, respectively. 2) Movable blocks of the site were 0110, 0111, 1110(roof), 0100, 0110, 1110(right wall) and 0001, 1001, 1011(left wall). Because of the direction of tunnel, blocks of the left wall was safe. thus key blocks were those of the roof and the right wall. Maximum height of key block was larger than the width of the tunnel but 2m of the yielded zone is expected in general for 5m width tunnel. 3) It is shown that block theory is applicable to large cavern in hard rock analysis.

  • The stability condition of rock slopes is greatly affected by the geometry and strength parameters of discontinuities in the rock masses. Rock slopes Involving movement of rock blocks on discontinuities are failed by one or combination of the three basic failure modes-plane, wedge, and toppling. In rock mechanics, practically all the parameters such as the joint set characteristics, the rock strength properties, and the loading conditions are always subject to a degree of uncertainty. Therefore, a reasonable assessment of the rock slope stability has to include the excavation of the multi-failure modes, the consideration of uncertainties of discontinuity characteristics, and the decision on stabilization measures with favorable cost conditions. This study was performed to provide a new numerical model of the deterministic analysis, reliability analysis, and reliability-based optimization for rock slope stability. The sensitivity analysis was carried out to verify proposed method and developed program; the parameters needed for sensitivity analysis are design variables, the variability of discontinuity properties (orientation and strength of discontinuities), the loading conditions, and rock slope geometry properties. The design variables to be optimized by the reliability-based optimization include the cutting angle, the support pressure, and the slope direction. The variability in orientations and friction angle of discontinuities, which can not be considered in the deterministic analysis, has a greatly influenced on the rock slope stability. The stability of rock slopes considering three basic failure modes is more influenced by the selection of slope direction than any other design variables. When either plane or wedge failure is dominant, the support system is more useful than the excavation as a stabilization method. However, the excavation method is more suitable when toppling failure is dominant. The case study shows that the developed reliability-based optimization model can reasonably assess the stability of rock slopes and reduce the construction cost.

  • 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.

  • 본 논문은 절리암반 터널의 안정성 해석을 위한 2차원 개별요소모델링방법에 대한 개선방안을 제안하였다. 먼저, 절리군과 터널의 상대방위를 고려하여 터널단면상에서 불연속거동이 가능한 절리군을 구별하는 기준을 제시하였다. 이 기준에 따라 불연속거동이 가능한 절리군은 개별요소(암석블록)의 변이 되도록 하고 그 외 절리군은 암석블록의 탄성특성을 보정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 주어진 절리의 기하학적 특성에 대해서 절리의 방위편차와 유한길이를 고려한 복잡한 모델과 절리의 평균방위와 무한길이를 고려한 단순한 모델의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 후자의 모델이 일관성 있는 터널의 국부적 파괴양상과 명료한 암반의 불연속거동을 보여줌으로써 터널설계목적에 적절함을 확인하였다.

  • 실제 암반에는 단층, 절리, 층리, 균열, 단열, 편리, 벽개 등의 불연속면이 많이 포함되어 있다. 따라서, 불연속면이 암반구조물의 거동을 좌우하고 있다. 암반구조의 복잡성으로 인해 사전에 예측 할 수 없었던 암반의 붕락이 발생하여, 붕락대책에 막대한 비용과 시간을 낭비하는 사례가 많다. 암반 불연속면의 복잡성을 사전 조사단계에서 충분히 파악하거나 대책을 수립하는 것은 어렵다. 최근 터널의 정보화 설계시공이 중요시되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 불연속성 암반에서의 터널의 신 정보화 설계시공법을 제안하고, 현지에서 관찰한 불연속면 정보를 근거로 하여 실제 터널현장에 적용했다. 실제 터널현장에 있어서, 터널의 신 정보화 설계시공법을 위해서 새롭게 개발한 수치해석 프로그램을 사용하여 정확한 키블럭 추출이 가능하였다. 사용하기 쉬운 사용자 인터페이스를 가지고 있는 본 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기법은 암반블럭의 안정성 계산뿐만 아니라 추가 보강대책공의 설계도 가능하다. 터널 굴착중에 키블럭을 확인하므로써, 제안한 신 정보화 설계시공법의 유효성에 대한 검증을 하였다.
