We employed electrical resistivity and optical borehole imaging methods to identify underground cavities and determine ground subsidence rate at the study area affected by land subsidence due to abandoned underground mines. At the study site 1, the anomalous zones of low resistivity ranging between 100 ohm-meter and 150 ohm-meter were observed and confirmed as an abandoned underground mine by subsequent borehole drilling and optical borehole imaging. Although the electrical resistivity survey was unavailable due to the paved surface of the study site 2, we were able to locate another abandoned underground mine with the collapsed mine shaft based on the distribution of the ore veins and confirmed it with borehole drilling. In addition, we measured vertical displacements of underground features indicating underground subsidence by conducting optical borehole imaging 6 times over a period of 43 days at the study site 2. The displacement magnitude at the deep segment caused by subsidence appeared to be 3 times larger than those at the shallow segment. Similarly, the displacement duration at the deep segment was 4 times longer than those at the shallow segment. Therefore, the combination of electrical resistivity and optical borehole imaging methods can be effectively applicable to detect and monitor ground subsidence caused by underground cavities.

그라우팅은 지반의 공학적인 강도증가를 통한 지지력 향상 및 암반의 투수성 저감을 통해 지하수 유동을 억제하기 위하여 대규모 토목공사 현장의 균열암반 및 댐 또는 제방 등의 지역에서 많이 시행되고 있다. 본 연구는 균열암반지역에서 그라우팅 효과 확인을 위하여 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)와 마이크로 시멘트(MC)를 사용하여 그라우팅을 수행하였으며, 그라우팅 전후에 물리검층(시추공영상촬영, 초음파 텔레뷰어검층)을 이용하여 그라우팅 효과 정도를 파악하였다. 연구지역은 경상북도 영주시 평은면 지역으로, 지질은 선캠브리아기 안구상편마암에 시대미상의 흑운모 화강암이 관입을 하였고, 이를 제4기의 충적층이 부정합으로 피복되어 있다. 그라우팅은 일반구간과 단층대구간으로 구분하여 실시하였으며, 두 구간의 이격거리는 서로의 간섭을 피하기 위해 약 40m 간격으로 선정하였다. 주입재(OPC, MC)는 5개의 주입공에서 triangle 방향으로 주입하였으며, 주입정도를 확인하기 위하여 각 구간에 2공씩 확인시추를 하였다. 두 개의 site중 일반구간의 보통 포틀랜드시멘트 주입결과 평균주입량은 48.2kg/공이며 주입 1m당으로 환산하면 Lugeon값 10미만의 지층에서는 1.62kg/m이며, 마이크로시멘트의 평균주입량은 49.6kg/공이며 주입 1m당으로 환산하면 Lugeon값 10미만의 지층에서는 3.86kg/m로 나타났다. 단층대 구간에서는 보통 포틀랜드시멘트의 평균주입량이 40.0kg/공이며, 1m당으로 환산하면 Lugeon값 10미만의 지층에서는 2.75kg/m이며, 마이크로 시멘트는 평균주입량이 56.5kg/공, 주입 1m당으로 환산하면 Lugeon값 10미만의 지층에서는 3.15kg/m로 나타났다. 마이크로시멘트의 주입압은 보통 포틀랜드시멘트에 비해 상대적으로 낮았으며, 그라우팅 개선효과 역시 상대적으로 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 그라우팅 효과확인을 위한 물리검층의 초음파텔레뷰어 해석결과 상대암반강도는 주입전 $250{\sim}750\;kgf/cm^2$, 주입후는 $400{\sim}800\;kgf/cm^2$으로 그라우팅에 의한 암반강도의 상승을 확인할 수 있었고, 시추공영상촬영 분석에서는 시추코어만으로 얻기 힘든 시멘트 충진구간을 직접 확인할 수 있었다. 초음파텔레뷰어의 경우 파쇄대의 분포 및 암반강도 측정을 통한 그라우팅 파악은 가능하였으나 파쇄대 충진물을 확인할 수가 없는 단점이 있었고 이를 시추공영상촬영을 통해 보완할 수 있었다. 다만 물리검층의 경우 그라우팅에 의한 공의 손실로 동일공에 의한 반복 조사가 아닌 경우가 대부분이어서 그라우팅 효과에 대한 정확한 비교가 어려웠으며 추후 이를 보완하기 위한 계속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study introduces integrated approach on detection of a leakage in a sea wall based on remote sensing, electric resistivity survey, electromagnetic survey, and borehole survey for the Seosan A-Region sea wall. The satellite temperature distribution from Landsat ETM+ data identifies water leakage distribution and period by analyzing temperature mixing patterns between sea water and fresh water. Electric resistivity survey provides both horizontal and vertical anomaly distributions over the sea wall showing below average electric resistivity. Electromagnetic survey(electrical conductivity survey) reveals the potential possible leakage areas with minimal background impact by comparing electrical conductivity values between high and low tides. Borehole image processing system confirmed the locations of anomalies identified from the other survey methods and distributions of vertical fracture zones. The integrated approach identified 41.7% of the sea wall being the most probable area vulnerable to water leakage and effectively approximated both horizontal and vertical distribution of water leakage. The integrated analysis of remote sensing, electric resistivity survey, electromagnetic survey and borehole survey is considered to be an optimal method in identifying water leakage distribution, period, and extent of fractures knowledged from the boreholes.

The discontinuity of rock is one of important elements that have impact on the dynamic movement of rock. A slope made of gneiss has complicated geological structure because of the gneiss forming process through metamorphism covering wide range and the anisotropic structure with foliation. In this study, before cutting slope, the rock of slope had been found as a good quality by the boring test. But during construction tension cracks had occurred in the section with 170m length during large-scale excavation work with depth more than 20m. Ground surface geological investigation, boring exploration, resistivity logging and borehole image processing had been done to find the causes of the tension crack. It was possible to estimate the scale of fault existing in large area through resistivity logging and geological investigation. Large scale slickenside and fault clay had been found as the result of comprehensive analysis.

A cut-slope near Guam-Ri Hwado-Eup Namyangju-Si Kyunggi-Do collapsed during a heavy rainfall over 400mm at 28th of August 2000. The cut-slope collapse reportedly developed mainly by block sliding along a set of discontinuities, although slope angle of the cut-slope was 40$^{\circ}$(1:1.2) that agrees with the road construction criteria. This study aims to analyze differences and correlations among several data-collecting methods limited to discontinuity analysis related with cut-slope collapse. This study started with analysing discontinuity surface characteristics, geology of the country rock and orientations of the discontinuities directly related with the collapse. Analysis of aerial photos around the study area provided regional lineament data, and discontinuity plane description and measurements were collected from core logging and Borehole Image Processing System (BIPS). Spearmans correlation ranking coefficient method was used to get correlation of discontinuity planes according to analysis methods. The result suggests that the correlation coefficient is ${\gamma}_s$ = 0.91 Plus, stability analysis of discontinuity plane orientation data using equal-area stereonet revealed that the study area is unstable to planar failure. This study suggests that the cut-slope angles currently applied should be shallower and that significant attention is required to orientation distribution of discontinuities existed in cut-slopes studies.

Weathered foliation could act as a critical failure plane because this type of plane tend to have low roughness and long extensions. A big constructed slope at $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ road construction site was failed due to the block movement along a fault zone which is parallel to foliation. Tectonic activity reactivated a fault zone parallel to foliation, and the fault clay within the shear zone metamorphosed retrogressively to chrolite. The failed block moved when the block weigh lost the balancing with the resisting force of the retrogressively metamorphosed chrolite. Evaluating the three dimensional distribution of the foliation was critical for establishing a plan for the stabilization of the slope. For this purpose, 10 boreholes were drilled as a lattice distribution, and the BIPS analyses are performed at each boreholes. The fractures measured in the boreholes are projected into 15 cross sections and their distributions are analysed, using Fracjection software. The projection analyse show that the strike of the foliation gets dipper towards left side of the slope. This geometry indicates that there are more failure block geometry at left side of the slope. Potential failure planes are searched using the projection method, and these information are provided for further support design.

We established a stochastic 3-D fracture network system for fractured rock masses located in Il-Gwang Mine, Busan, to explore the relationship between the acidity of mine drainage and fracture geometry. A field scanline survey and borehole image processing were performed to estimate the best probability distributions of fracture geometry parameters. The stochastic 3-D fracture network system constructed for the rock masses was validated and deemed to be successful. The 3-D fracture network model was suitable for developing conceptual ideas on fluid flow in fractures at a field experimental site. An injection well and three observation wells were drilled at the field experimental site to monitor the acidity of mine drainage induced by the injection of fresh water. The field experiment, which was run for 29 days, yielded a significant relationship (with a high coefficient of determination) between the fracture geometry parameters and the acidity of mine drainage. The results show that pH increased with increasing relative frequency of fracture strike, and decreased with increasing fracture density. The concentration of $SO^{2-}_4$ decreased with increasing relative frequency of fracture strike, and increased with increasing fracture density.

This study analyzed the collapse course of a mud stone cut slope during the construction of a express and suggested a countermeasure. Experiments were carried out on bedrock mudstone to investigate the engineering characteristics and the slope stability analysis at the time the design was reviewed. In addition, stability analysis, considering the strength softening characteristics of the slope due to the Swelling-Slaking phenomenon, was also performed. As a result of the Swelling-Slaking test, the slake durability was Low-Medium, and the swell potential was Very Low. A review of the stability analysis performed at the time of the design showed different results from the actual results because LEM analysis had been performed without considering the engineering characteristics of mudstone. As a result of additional stability analysis considering the strength softening characteristics, the slope collapse point and the maximum shear strain point of the stability analysis were the same and the standard safety factor was not satisfied. As a countermeasure, a slope mitigation method was found to be most appropriate. The mitigation slope was calculated by Finite element Analysis. A comparison with BIPS to determine the applicability of a mitigation slope revealed most of the unconsolidated mudstone.
