지하암반층에 처분한 방사성핵종들의 이동방식을 이해하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 다차원 불균일장에대한 모사기법에 대해 다루었다. 이차원 암반균열평면을 설정하고 균열틈 값이 공간적으로 다양한 형태를 가질 때 지하수가 흐르는 유형과 핵종들이 이동하는 특성을 이해하기 위해, 공간적으로 다양하게 변해 가는 균열틈을 가진 암반층을 모사한 다음, 여기서 지하수와 방사성핵종들의 흐름특성을 파악하고 물질이동에 영향을 미치는 중요한 수리학적 매개변수들에 대해 논의하였다. 암반 균열폭 값은 추계적 방식으로 설정한 확률밀도분포와 공간상호간섭길이를 함수로하여 통계적방식으로 계산하였다. 각 매개변수들의 값의 차이에 따라 달라지는 분포상태변화를 그림으로 표현하여 설명하였다.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of in-situ rock stresses on the deformability and permeability of fractured rocks. Geological data were taken from the site investigation at Forsmark, Sweden, conducted by Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Man-agement Company (SKB). A set of numerical experiments was conducted to determine the equivalent mechanical properties (essentially, elastic moduli and Poisson's ratio) and permeability, using a Discrete Fracture Network-Discrete Element Method (DFN-DEM) approach. The results show that both mechanical properties and permeability are highly dependent on stress because of the hyperbolic nature of the stiffness of fractures, different closure behavior of fractures, and change of fluid pathways caused by deformation. This study shows that proper characterization and consideration of in-situ stress are important not only for boundary conditions of a selected site but also for the understanding of the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of fractured rocks.

Hydraulic rock splitting is a technique which leads to failure of rockmass by means of water injection with a pressure higher than the tensile strength of rockmass, using straddle packer installed in boreholes drilled from free surface. Field tests were conducted in this study for several slopes of biotite granite according to various designs for borehole layout and water injection. Test results showed that new cracks were generated to connect to adjacent holes or that pre-existed cracks were propagated by injection, finally leading to failure. In particular, this study suggests the possibility of controlling the direction of generated cracks with guide slot, since new cracks were generated parallel to the guide slots carved on a borehole wall before injection. Various types of borehole layout and injection methods should be further developed for the practical uses, considering the factors influencing on crack generation.

This paper compares the two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) approaches for the numerical determination of the equivalent mechanical properties of fractured rock masses. Both orthogonally-fractured model and discrete fracture networks (DFN) were used for the geometry and 2D models were cut in various directions from 3D model to compare their mechanical properties. Geological data were loosely based on the data available from Sellafield, UK. Analytical method based on compliance tensor transformation was used for investigation in orthogonally fractured rock and numerical experiments were conducted on fractured rock mass with DFN geometry. It is shown that 2D approach always overestimates the elastic modulus of fractured rock masses by a factor of up to around two because fractures are assumed to be perpendicular to the model plane in 2D problems. Poisson ratios tend to have larger values in 2D analysis while there is opposite trend in some sections. The study quantitatively demonstrates the limitation of the 2D approach that uses the simplified model from true 3D geometry.

Crack-controlled method which utilizes the dynamic energy such as explosives and propellent gases have been applied to the development of mineral resource and oil and civil engineering. It is necessary to consider the fracture processes associated with the material properties and external forces to control crack propagation using borehole pressure. To investigate the influence of the applied borehole pressure waveform on the crack propagation in rock masses having different material properties, a no-free surface model was used, consisting of a borehole in rock with a continuous boundary. Loading rates ranging from 1 to 100MPa/${\mu}s$ with different rock mass properties was employed to investigate the loading rate dependency of fracture patterns in the rock mass.

This paper presents groundwater flow characteristics in discontinuous rock mass using fracture network program(NAPSAC) by statistical approach. Equivalent permeability coefficients are estimated from borehole data around Mabuk test tunnel site and fracture map on the arch of the tunnel. The reliability of fracture network model is obtained from determination of input data for statistical fracture network analysis from the real data(data of fracture network, data of hydraulic tests). The variation of permeability and mean anisotropic permeability coefficients are calculated from the realized model by increasing the size. As a result of analysis, a strong anisotropy of permeability is observed according to the direction of the fracture sets around the test tunnel.

대수층의 수리상수를 산출하기 위한 양수시험 분석에 이용되는 가장 기본적인 이론은 Theis 이론이다. Theis 이론에서는 지하수의 흐름은 2차원의 방사상 흐름이다. 그러나, 1차 공극으로 이루어진 충적층 대수층이나 사암과 같은 다공질 대수층과는 달리 기반암내에 발달되어 있는 균열 대수층은 균열(fractures), 열극(fissures) 또는 단층과 같은 2차 공극으로 이루어져 있다. (중략)

A particle tracking scheme was developed in order to model radionuclide transport through a tortuous flow Held in a rock fracture. The particle tacking method may be used effectively in a heterogeneous flow field such as rock fracture. The parallel plate representation of the single fracture fails to recognize the spatial heterogeneity in the fracture aperture and thus seems inadequate in describing fluid movement through a real fracture. The heterogeneous flow field une modeled by a variable aperture channel model after characterizing aperture distribution by a hydraulic test. To support the validation of radionuclide transport models, a radionuclide migration experiment was performed in a natural fracture of granite. $^3$$H_2O$ and $^{131}$ I are used as tracers. Simulated results were in agreement with experimental result and therefore support the validity of the transport model. Residence time distributions display multipeak curves caused by the fast arrival of solutes traveling along preferential fracture channels and by the much slower arrival of solutes following tortous routes through the fracture. Results from the modelling of the transport of nonsorbing tracer through the fracture show that diffusion into the interconnected pore space in the rock mass has a significant effect on retardation.

이 연구는 우리나라 균열암반 대수층의 수리적 특성을 해석ㆍ평가하기 위하여 양수시험 해석해(Theis, 1935; Cooper-Jacob, 1946; Papadopulos-Cooper, 1967; Hantush, 1962a,b; Moench, 1985; Hantush-Jacob, 1955) 및 일반화 방사상 유동 모델을 이용하여 균열암반 대수층(화강암, 화산암, 변성암, 백악기퇴적암, 제3기 퇴적암에 굴착된 100개 조사공)에서 수행되어진 양수시험으로부터 얻은 122개의 양수시험자료(수위강하 자료)를 분석하였다. AQTESOLV 전산프로그램을 이용한 양수시험자료 분석에 의하면, 122개 자료중 86개(71%)의 자료들이 이 연구에 사용된 해석해와 일치하며, 양수시험자료 해석해 중에 누수(leaky) 및 경계조건(boundary condition)을 고려한 해석해들이 53개(43%)로 가장 많이 나타났다. 그러므로, 양수시험자료의 해석은 균열암반 대수층의 수리지질학적 특성에 적합한 개념모델의 설정이 중요하다. 일반화 방사상 유동(GRF)모델을 적용해보면, 122개의 자료중 77개(63%)의 자료들이 Barker(1988)의 표준곡선에 의한 차원(1.1차원-2.9차원)을 보여준다. 이중 44.2%에 해당하는 39개 자료가 1.1차원과 1.9차원 사이의 분할 유동차원을 보여주는 반면에 26개(6.5%)만이 Theis 이론에 맞는 2차원의 방사상 흐름을 보여주며, 38개(49.3%)는 2.1차원에서 2.9차원에 속한다. 따라서 우리나라 균열암반 대수층에서 지하수 유동은 대부분 분할차원의 유동을 보여주는 것으로 평가된다.
