Abstract

Jurassic granite from Geochang was analysed with respect to the characteristics of the rock cleavage. we have mainly discussed the structual anisotropy formed by microcracks. The phases of distribution of microcracks were well evidenced from the enlarged photomicrographs(${\times}6.7$) of the thin section. The planes of principal set of microcracks are parallel to the rift plane and those of secondary set are parallel to the grain plane. These rift and grain microcracks are mutually near-perpendicular on the hardway planes. From the directional angle(${\theta}$) - total length($L_t$), number(N) and density(${\rho}$) chart, the curve patterns of the above microcrack parameters reflect the phases of distribution of microcracks. Microcrack parameters such as number, length and density show an order of rift > grain > hardway. These results indicate a relative magnitude of the rock cleavage. Meanwhile, brazilian tensile strengths were measured with respect to the six directions. The results revealed a strong correlation between mechanical property with the above microcrack parameters. These general results correspond to those of the previous study for Jurassic granites from Pocheon and Hapcheon. Image processing technique for the enlarged photomicrograph of the thin section was carried out. The grain 1(G1) microcrack arrays developed in quartz and feldspar grains show excellent distribution on the photomicrograph. In particular, the directional angle of each microcrack set can be ascertained easily by brief image processing for the above photomicrograph.

거창지역의 쥬라기 화강암에 대하여 결의 특성에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 미세균열에 의하여 형성된 구조적 이방성을 주로 논의하였다. 미세균열의 분포상은 박편의 확대사진(${\times}6.7$)에서 잘 확인되었다. 일차 우세 미세균열은 1번 면에 평행하고 이차 우세 미세균열은 2번 면에 평행하다. 이들 1번 결과 2번 결을 형성하는 미세균열은 3번 면상에서 상호 거의 수직을 이룬다. 방향각(${\theta}$)-총 길이($L_t$), 빈도수(N) 및 밀도(${\rho}$)의 도표에서 상기 미세균열의 모수의 곡선형태는 미세균열의 분포상을 반영한다. 빈도수, 길이 및 밀도와 같은 미세균열의 모수들은 1번 결 > 2번 결 > 3번 결의 순서로 나타난다. 이러한 결과는 결의 상대적인 강도를 지시한다. 한편 6개 방향에 따른 압열 인장강도가 측정되었다. 강도와 위의 미세균열의 모수들 사이에는 밀접한 상관성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 전반적인 결과는 포천 및 합천지역의 쥬라기 화강암류에 대한 기존의 연구결과와 부합한다. 박편의 확대사진에 대한 이미지 처리 기법을 수행하였다. 사진 상에서 석영 및 장석 내부에서 발달하는 그레인 1(G1) 미세균열의 배열이 탁월한 분포를 보여준다. 특히 위의 사진에 대한 간단한 이미지 처리를 통하여 각 미세균열 조의 방향각을 용이하게 확인할 수가 있다.
