Abstract

The deformation modulus of rock masses is a very important design factor for the computation of stability of tunnels and their support systems. Several empirical formulas to estimate the deformation modulus using simple rock classification methods such as RQD or RMR are widely used because field tests to evaluate the deformation modulus are very expensive and time consuming work. However, these formulas can be depended on experiences from the characteristics of local sites in each country. So it is possible that there might be limitations to estimate appropriate deformation modulus in South Korea using the empirical formulas. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of empirical formulas was analyzed by comparing estimated value with the measured value from eight sites in South Korea. The results show that the estimated value based on the empirical formulas partially have tendency to overestimate. Especially, in case of sedimentary rocks, it was too difficult to apply to the empirical formulas because there was no relation ship between estimated value and measured value. For these reasons, additional data from many tests and accurate analyses are necessary to evaluate the estimation method for the deformation modulus considering the local characteristics of rock masses.

암반으로 이루어진 지반에 지하철, 철도, 도로터널 및 지하 저장소 등 지하공간을 적극 활용하기 위해서는 암반의 특성을 고려한 물성치를 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 모든 현장에서는 직접적으로 암반의 변형계수를 측정하여 설계에 반영하는 것이 바람직하나, 방대한 암반지반에 대한 변형계수 물성치를 확보하기 위해 계측을 실시하는 것은 난해한 실정이다. 따라서, 일반적으로 터널설계 시 RQD, RMR 등을 이용하여 선행연구자들이 제안한 식을 많이 이용하고 있다. 그러나 이들 제안식들의 경우 대부분이 해외사례연구를 통한 경험식이므로 국내 암반의 강도 및 변형특성에 맞는 변형계수를 추정해 내는 데에는 제한이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존에 쓰여지고 있는 경험식의 적용성을 고찰하기 위하여 RMR법에 의해 암반을 분류한 국내현장 7개소를 선정하여 공내재하시험에 의한 실측값과 경험식에 의한 산정된 변형계수를 비교하여 그 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 공내재하시험에 의한 실측값과 선행연구자들에 의해 제안된 식으로 산정된 변형계수의 비교 결과, RMR지수가 50 이상인 경우에는 실측값과 제안식에 의해 산정된 암반의 변형계수가 상관성이 없는 분포를 보였다. 반면 RMR 지수가 50 이하인 경우에는 편마암, 화강암, 화강편마암은 기존의 제안식과 유사한 경향을 나타내었고, 셰일 및 사암 등 일반퇴적암의 경우는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타나 적용이 난해할 것으로 판단된다.
