  • 불연속면 또는 연약대로 인해 야기되는 암반의 구조적 이방성과 비균질성은 터널의 변형 거동에 큰 영향을 미친다. 아무리 우수한 지반조사가 이루어진다 하더라도, 지역적 불확실성은 여전히 남아 있으므로 복잡한 지반 조건에서의 터널 굴착은 매우 어려운 작업이다. 이러한 불확실한 환경에서 터널 막장 전방의 지반 상태를 정확히 예측하는 것은 안전하고 경제적인 터널 건설에 필요불가결하다 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 암반의 이방성 및 비균질성의 영향을 평가하였다. 즉 터널 굴착으로 인해 야기되는 지반 거동을 분석하고 이에 대한 연약대의 폭과 강성 그리고 방향성의 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다.

  • One of the critical design problems involved in deep tunnelling in brittle rock, is the creation of surface spalling damage and breakouts. If weak fault zone is developed in deep tunnel, squeezing problem is added to the problems. According to the results of ground investigation in the study area, hard granitic rockmass and distinguished high angle fault zone are distributed on the tunnel level over 400m depth. To analyse the probability of brittle failure and squeezing, ground characterization with special lab. and field test were carried out. By the results, probability of brittle failures like spalling and rock burst is very low. But squeezing may be probable, if weak fault zone observed surface and drill core is extended to designed tunnel level.

  • For safety evaluation of a rock-fill dim, it is often necessary to investigate spatial distribution of weak zones such as fracture. Both DC-resistivity survey and seismic(SASW) method are usually used for the purpose. Recently, Multichannel analysis of surface waves(MASW) method which makes up for the weak point of SASW method is developed and the site examination which is simple came to be possible comparatively. In order to obtain 2-D shear-wave velocity(Vs) profile along the dam axis that can be associated with dynamic properties of filled materials, MASW method was adapted. Then, DC-resistivity survey and drilling survey were performed to compare with each results. We confirmed that the MASW method and DC-resistivity survey show complementary result that corresspond with drilling result. Therefore, MASW method is an efficient method for dynamic characterization of dam-filling materials and also the combination of related methods such as DC-resistivity can lead to an effective safety evaluation of rock-fill dam.

  • This paper is used in a recent civil engineering field in three-dimensional laser-meter tiles using thermal imaging cameras for the weathered rock slopes precisely measured indirectly, to the degree that began in the will. In the field is difficult to access the degree of weathering of the rock slope to the existing direct way to compensate for the shortcomings of 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner and weathering characteristics of rocks using thermal imaging cameras to get the information to analyze the degree of rock weathering is. Intensity of 3D TLS and the thermal camera with image analysis to analyze the degree of weathering of bedrock in the field of core drilling targeting indoor laboratory tests were analyzed through the study. Granite, gneiss, sandstone, much of the cancerous samples, each experiment has a 40 per category, each of which 30 were used to analyze the data collected. That degree of rock weathering, the rock, depending on the strength of the Intensity values can change, depending on the level of thermal imaging camera, also weathered the changes in temperature could see. Intensity is the strength of weak rocks, the more value decrease, the temperature of the thermal imaging camera through the swell Intensity and notice that the temperature had an inverse relationship. Intensity value of the low strength of weak rock, but the value came out of the rocks have been proved to be largely dependent on the contrast. The contrast of the surface rocks are weathered dark Intensity values lower temperature to swell the contrary, the degree of weathering can be distinguished.

  • 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.

  • 터널 시공 도중이나 터널 굴착 직후 주지보재에 의한 보강 전에 터널막장 전방에 존재하는 연약암반 혹은 단층파쇄대로 인해 유발되는 터널막장의 붕괴사고가 빈번이 일어나고 있다. 기존의 지반탐사방법으로는 터널막장부근에 있는 연약암반이나 단층파쇄대를 찾기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 극복하고 기존의 탐사방법들을 보완하기 위해 전자기파를 이용한 터널전방 예측방법을 제안하였다. 전기장의 특성을 고려한 Coulomb 및 Gauss 법칙을 이용하여 절리를 가지는 암반에서의 전기장을 해석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 터널막장 전방에 구형연약암반과 단층파쇄대가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 각각 전기장해석을 수행하여 이론식을 도출하였다. 또한 개발된 해석기법을 작용하여 터널 전방에 구형연약이역과 단층파쇄대가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 예제해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과는 터널 전방에 부착된 몇 개의 전극에서 측정된 암반의 저항으로부터 역함수기법을 이용하여 터널 전방에 존재하는 연약지역의 등가 크기, 위치 및 성질을 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 암반에서의 전기저항 가탐심도는 터널막장의 크기, 자연전위 및 기타 전기적 신호에 의해 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 제시된 해석기법은 실내시험을 통하여 검증하였다. 가로, 세로, 높이가 각각 5cm인 콘크리트 블록 1800여 개를 가지고서 3방향 절리를 가진 암반상태를 구현하였고 터널 전방에 전기전도도가 콘크리트 블록보다 상대적으로 높은 물질을 이용하여 연약지반을 구현하였다. 모델링을 통한 실험결과는 해석결과와 거의 일치함을 보여주었다.

  • Estimation of representative elementary volume (REV) of jointed rock masses is critical to predict the mechanical behavior of field-scale rock masses. The REV of jointed rock masses at site is strongly influenced by stress state. The paper proposed a method to systematically studied the influence of confining stress on the REV of jointed rock masses with various strengths (weak, medium and strong), which were sourced from the water inlet slope of Xiaowan Hydropower Station, China. A finite element method considering material heterogeneity was employed, a series of two-dimensional (2D) models was established based on the Monte-Carlo method and a lot of biaxial compressive tests were conducted. Numerical results showed that the REV of jointed rock masses presented a step-like reduction as the normalized confining stress increased. Confining stress weakened the size effect of jointed rock masses, indicating that the REV determined under uniaxial compression test can be reasonably taken as the REV of jointed rock masses under complexed in-situ stress environment.

  • Rock discontinuities, as weak interfaces in rock, control mechanical properties of rock mass. Presence of discontinuities complicates the engineering properties of rock, which is the root of anisotropy and heterogeneity that have nonnegligible influences on the rock engineering. Morphological characteristics of discontinuities in natural rock are an important factor influencing the mechanical properties, particularly roughness, of discontinuities. Therefore, the accurate measurement and characterization of morphologies of discontinuities are preconditions for studying mechanical properties of discontinuities. Taking discontinuities in red sandstone as research objects, the research obtained three-dimensional (3D) morphologies of discontinuities in natural rock by carrying out 3D morphological scanning tests. The waviness and roughness were separated from 3D morphologies of rock discontinuities through wavelet transform. In addition, the calculation method for the overall slope root mean square (RMS) as well as slope RMSs of waviness and roughness of 3D morphologies of discontinuities considering the shear direction was proposed. The research finally determined an evaluation method for 3D morphologies of discontinuities by quantitatively characterizing 3D morphologies with the mean value of the three slope RMSs.

  • Complex rock masses include various joint planes, bedding planes and other weak structural planes. The existence of these structural planes affects the mechanical properties, deformation rules and failure modes of jointed rock masses. To study the influence of the parameters of a nonpersistent joint network on the mechanical properties and failure modes of jointed rock masses, synthetic rock mass (SRM) technology based on discrete elements is introduced. The results show that as the size of the joints in the rock mass increases, the compressive strength and the discreteness of the rock mass first increase and then decrease. Among them, the joints that are characterized by "small but many" joints and "large and clustered" joints have the most significant impact on the strength of the rock mass. With the increase in joint density in the rock mass, the compressive strength of rock mass decreases monotonically, but the rate of decrease gradually decreases. With the increase in the joint dip angle in rock mass, the strength of the rock mass first decreases and then increases, forming a U-shaped change rule. In the analysis of the failure mode and deformation of a jointed rock mass, the type of plastic zone formed after rock mass failure is closely related to the macroscopic displacement deformation of the rock mass and the parameters of the joints, which generally shows that the location and density of the joints greatly affect the failure mode and displacement degree of the jointed rock mass. The instability mechanism of jointed surrounding rock is revealed.
