Abstract

Rock fall protection system installed against rock slope is one of the most conventional way to protect nearby infra structures. Despite of wide application of typical rectangular nets, virtually installed to protect rock slope face, several problems have also been pointed out up to date. Rectangular draped nets are vulnerable to a sudden external shock such as rock fall, because it doesn't have any systematical buffers or shock absorbers. Furthermore, it has been widely recognized from the some cases of rock fall accident in Korea that rock fall protection nets cause wide range of failure in the rock slope faces due to insufficient pullout bearing capacity of fixing parts. Therefore, in this study, we tried to make a consideration about the problems of existing standard rock fall protection nets in Korea, and develop a new type of hexagonal net with a shock absorber based on design rock fall energy. In this paper, laboratory and full scale test procedure is described to analysis the performance of newly developed hexagonal rock fall net, and the key results are presented and discussed.

기존에 사용되던 사각형 낙석방지망은 낙석에 의한 충격 완화를 위한 장치가 없어 적층 현상 등을 해결할 수 없으며 과도한 충격으로 철망이 파괴되는 문제 등이 지적되고 있었다. 여러 문제점이 복합적으로 발생하면서 매년 낙석 방지망 자체의 파괴에 의해 많은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 표준형 낙석방지망의 낙석방호 실패 원인을 고찰하고 설계 시 예상 낙석에너지를 파악하여 적정한 흡수에너지를 가진 육각 낙석방지망을 개발하였다. 또한 실내실험과 실대형실험을 통해 기존 낙석 방지망과의 성능차를 파악하여 육각 낙석방지망의 적용 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 실내실험과 실대형실험결과 낙석과 같은 하중 재하 시 육각 낙석방지망에 작용하는 응력은 스프링형 지지 장치에 의해 응력이 완화되어 충격에 의한 소성파괴에 대한 저항성이 우수한 반면 사각 낙석방지망의 경우 작용하는 응력이 직접적으로 낙석방지망에 작용함으로써 하중에 대한 저항력이 육각 낙석방지망보다 효율이 적은 것으로 판단된다.
