Abstract

A numerical analysis model capable of predicting the shape, the size and the potentiality of collapse of tetrahedral blocks considering the persistence obtained from the field survey of joint distribution around the underground excavation surface has been developed. Numerical functions of analyzing both the exposed trace distribution on the excavation surface and the formation of tetrahedral block controlled by the extent of joint surface have been established and linked to the previously developed three dimensional deterministic block analysis model. To illustrate the reliability of advanced numerical model the case of underground excavation in which the collapse of rock block had practically taken place was studied. Representative orientations of joint sets was determined based on the joint distribution pattern observed on the excavation surfaces. The formation of block on the roof of underground opening was analyzed to unveil the potential tetrahedral block the shape of which was very similar to the collapsed rock block. Mechanisms of collapse process has been also analyzed by considering the three dimensional shape of tetrahedral block.

지하공동 굴착현장에서 관찰되는 절리분포 양상에 대한 자료를 기반으로 굴착과정에서 형성될 수 있는 사면체 블록의 형상, 규모 및 붕락 가능성을 절리 영속성을 고려하여 예측하는 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 절리 영속성 분석결과를 이용하여 절리면의 확장성에 따른 개착면에서의 표출정도 및 블록형성 가능성 해석을 수행하는 기능을 고안하여 기존에 개발된 결정론적 3차원 블록해석모델에 접목시켰다. 개선된 수치해석모델의 신뢰성을 고찰하기 위하여 실제 블록 붕락이 발생된 굴착현장에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 조사된 절리분포 양상에 의거하여 대표 방향성을 설정하고 잠재적 블록 형성을 분석하여 붕락된 블록 형상에 부합된 해석 결과를 도출하였으며, 이에 근거하여 굴착과정에서의 붕락 진행 미캐니즘을 블록형상을 고려하여 고찰하였다.
