Abstract

It is crucial to decide reasonably the parameters necessary for design through research on the characteristics of rock in order to analyze stability of rock structure. This article has conducted both pressure meter test, uniaxial and triaxial compression test to the areas of andesite or tuff located in local regions such as Yeosu, Gwangju, Yangsan, Busan, and Daejeon and has comparatively analyzed previously proposed estimative formulas. According to the result of estimating the deformation modulus through using the damping coefficient suggested by Nicholson & Bieniawski, when RMR is less than 60, it is desirable to use the result of the pressure meter test considering the damping coefficient. If the RMR value is over 60, however, the formula suggested by Kim Gyo-won has been proved to be the most applicable. Moreover, according to the result of comparing the RMR, adhesion, and angle of internal friction, both the adhesion and angle of internal friction best correspond to the formula proposed by Tsuchiya. Comparatively analyzing the relations between the rock deformation modulus and RMR and also suggesting the formula of calculating the shear strength parameter to use the RMR value, this study did not include the deformation modulus and shear strength parameter as factors to decide the RMR index. Since result can differ by several factors, it will be necessary afterwards to suggest practical estimative formulas applicable to the actual spots of Korea.

암반구조물의 안정해석을 위해서는 암반의 특성을 연구하여 설계에 요구되는 매개변수를 합리적으로 결정해야한다. 본 논문에서는 여수, 광주, 양산, 부산, 대전 등의 안산암, 응회암지역을 대상으로 공내재하시험과 일축 및 삼축압축시험을 수행하고 기존에 제안된 추정식을 비교분석하였다. Nicholson & Bieniawski가 제안한 감쇠계수를 이용하여 변형계수를 추정한 결과 RMR이 60미만인 경우에는 감쇠계수를 고려한 공내재하시험결과를 이용하는 것을 제안하며, RMR값이 60 이상인 경우에 대해서는 김교원에 의해 제안된 식이 가장 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 RMR과 점착력, 그리고 내부마찰각을 비교한 결과, 점착력과 내부마찰각 모두 Tsuchiya의 제안식이 가장 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 암반 변형계수와 RMR의 관계를 비교분석하고 RMR값을 이용한 전단강도정수 산정식을 제안하였는 바 변형계수와 전단강도정수는 RMR지수 산정요소에 포함되지 않아 여러 인자들에 의해 결과가 달라질 수 있으므로 국내 현장에 맞는 실용적인 추정식들이 제안되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
