Abstract

Samples of Hangdeung granite and Berea sandstone containing sliding planes were prepared by saw-cutting and polishing using #100 or #600 grinding powders. Their basic friction angles were then measured directly in direct shear tests and triaxial compression tests, and also in tilt tests, which measure the angles indirectly. Although the angles measured by the direct methods were generally accurate, those measured along certain planes were greatly different from the others depending on the condition of the plane. The tilt tests yielded similar angles regardless of the sliding plane condition or the rock type; however, the error range was relatively wide. Sliding planes polished by the grinding powders yielded more accurate results than those cut by the saw and tested without polishing, as polishing ensured consistent conditions among all the planes. Sliding planes polished using #100 grinding powder yielded better results than polishing with #600 grinding powder. Therefore, the basic friction angles measured along the sliding planes polished using #100 grinding powder, as obtained in direct shear and triaxial compression tests, were the most reliable. The angle could also be measured satisfactorily by tilt testing along sliding planes polished with #100 grinding powder.

이 연구에서는 직접적으로 기본마찰각을 측정할 수 있는 직접전단시험과 삼축압축시험, 간접적으로 측정할 수 있는 기울임 시험을 이용하여 톱 절단면, #100 연마면, #600 연마면 등 총 3종류의 면을 갖는 황등 화강암과 Berea 사암의 기본마찰각을 측정하고 시험 결과들을 서로 비교하였다. 직접전단시험과 삼축압축시험에서 측정된 기본마찰각은 대체로 정확하지만 면의 상태에 따라서는 매우 차이가 나는 값이 측정되기도 한다. 기울임 시험은 모든 암종에서, 모든 면의 상태에서 유사한 결과를 산출하여 기본마찰각의 측정에 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보여주지만, 오차의 범위는 직접적인 시험에 비하여 비교적 넓은 범위를 보인다. 안정된 기본마찰각을 측정하기 위해서는 톱 절단면 보다는 전단면을 항상 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있는 연마면을 사용하는 것이 유리하며, 연마면 중에서도 #600 연마면 같이 매우 매끄러운 면 보다는 #100 연마면 같은 부드러운 수준의 면에서 보다 안정된 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러므로 #100 연마면 시료에서 직접전단시험이나 삼축압축시험으로 측정된 기본마찰각이 가장 신뢰성이 높을 것으로 예상되며, #100 연마면 시료에 대한 기울임 시험도 기본마찰각을 측정하는데 있어서 충분한 신뢰성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.
