This study examined blast testing measurement data which had been obtained from 97 field sites in Korea to investigate the comprehensive characteristics of rock blasting-induced vibration focusing on the effect of excavation types (tunnel, bench) and rock types. The measurement data was from the testing sites mostly in Kangwon province and Kyungsang province and rock types were granite, gneiss, limestone, sand stone, and shale in the order of number of data. The study indicated that the blasting-induced vibration velocity was affected by the excavation types (tunnel, bench) and bench blasting induced higher velocity than tunnel blasting. In addition, the vibration velocity was also highly affected by the rock types and therefore, it can be concluded that rock types should be considered in the future to estimate a blasting-induced vibration velocity. Furthermore, the pre-existing criteria was compared with the results of this study and the comparison indicated that there was a discernable difference except for tunnel blasting results based on the square root scaling and therefore, further studies and interests, which include the effects of rock strength, joint characteristics, geological formation, excavation type, power type, measurement equipment and method, might be necessarily in relation to the estimation of blasting-induced vibration velocity in rock mass.

지하수의 부존특성을 결정해주는 주 요인으로는 강수량, 증발량, 유출량, 지형, 수계, 토양, 식생 그리고 토지이용 등 여러 가지가 있으나, 무엇보다도 중요한 요인은 지하수를 저류시킬 수 있는 분포암석의 종류와 그 암석의 수문지질학적 특성이다. 우리나라는 퇴적암으로부터 화산암에 이르기까지 퍽 다양한 종류의 암석이 전국토를 형성하고 있어 지하수의 부존특성도 이러한 분포암석에 따라 특징지어진다. (중략)

Parameters of Swedish bench blast design was analyzed by robust design method. Orthogonal array which is adopted in this study was $L_9(3^4)$ and the parameters were hole diameter, explosive type, hole inclination and rock factor of 3 levels. Result of analysis showed that maximum and minimum burden are most affected by hole diameter, followed by explosive type, rock type and inclination of hole. Parameters affecting specific charge are in the order of rock type, explosive type and to specific drilling are hole diameter and explosive type. Cost analysis showed that robust design is capable of parameter optimization.

Elastic modulus in rockmass is an important factor to represent the characteristic of rock deformation and is used to estimate the displacement due to tunnel excavation. Nevertheless, the study to estimate the elastic modulus, which condisiders the rock type and joint characteristics (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle), has been done in less frequency. Accordingly, this study is aimed at providing the method to estimate the elastic modulus of rockmass in the various rock and joint conditons and the results grasped from the study. For this purpose, the 2D discrete numerical analysis will be carried out and the displacements due to tunnel excavation will be investigated with the consideration of rock and joint conditions. Then the displacement results will be used to estimate the elastic modulus of rockmass in which rock and joint conditions are considered with the utilization of the elastic theory of circular tunnel. The results of elastic modulus, which considers the conditions of various rock and joint, would be expected to have a great practical use in field.

Hopkinson's effect tests were carried out for various strain rates on three different types of rock in both saturated and dry states in order to examine the effects of strain rate and water saturation on tensile strength. The tensile strength increased with the increase of the strain rate not only in dry state but also in saturated state. It was also especially recognizable that the dynamic tensile strength of rock in the dry state was proportional to approximately a one-third multiple of strain rate no matter what the type of rock. It was found that water saturation decreased tensile strength in the dry state of sandstone and tuff, both with high porosity, but no significant difference could be recognized between the dry and the saturated states of granite, which has a low porosity of 0.49%.

Both the roughness measurement tests and the multi-stage shear tests were carried out on the 110 rock joint samples in order to investigate the influences of rock type, joint roughness and normal stress on the shear behaviour of rock joints. Test samples were composed of quartz porphyry, dacite, granite and gneiss, which were classified into three detailed groups according to their JRC values. Roughness parameters of rock joints were analyzed by roughness measurement tests, and shear characteristics were also investigated by multi-stage shear tests. Both peak shear strength and shear stiffness were increased as both joint roughness and normal stress were increased, whereas dilation angles showed lower values at the lower roughness and higher normal stress conditions. Besides, shear characteristics obtained from all tests of four different rock types with different rock strengths showed irrelevant details, therefore the influences of both joint roughness and normal stress on shear behaviors were found to be more considerable than the strength of intact rock. The results obtained from both multi-stage shear tests and direct shear tests were finally compared, where the dilation angles obtained from multi-stage shear tests were found to be valid only for the first normal stress conditions.

암석의 풍화과정은 화학적인 변질, 물리적인 분해 및 생물학적인 작용으로 나뉘어 진다. 풍화에 영향을 주는 요소는 기후, 조성광물의 종류 및 구조, 절리와 단층, 열수변질작용과 광화작용, 염기성 및 산성암맥과 지형 등이다. 또한 암석의 풍화는 성인에 따라 다양한 양상으로 진행되는데 이는 암석을 이루고 있는 각각 광물들이 열역학적인 반응경로가 서로 다르고, 이에 수반되는 물리적인 풍화진행속도가 차이가 있으며, 암석의 균질성, 투수성 등이 암종별로 다양하기 때문이다. 현장에서 암석의 풍화정도는 조성광물의 변질과 분해정도를 육안 등으로 정성적으로 판단하고 분류하는 것이 일반적이다.

The status of groundwater development in Chungnam was studied with geological characteristics according to the measured data of Korean Rural Development Corporation. The data of 212 survey wells were used for the relation between catchment area and water discharge, and the data of 344 development wells for the relationships between well depth and discharge, between casing depth and discharge, between rock type and discharge, and the relation with lineaments density. The relationship between the catchment area and discharge does not show any special trend, and it is understood that groundwater of hard rock mass is not so much influenced by the surface catchment area. The relationship between well depth and discharge shows two different trends; discharge increasing with depth for alluvial groundwater, but no certain trend between depth and discharge for groundwater of hard rock zone. Discharge increases linearly with the casing depth, and it is reliable because the casing was installed in the weathered zone against well destruction. Generally the rock type does not show any difference of discharge, but the crystalline rocks such as granite and gneiss yield a little more discharge than the more porous rocks such as sedimentary rock or schist. It suggests that the effect of fracture zone is a major governing factor. In Hongsong and Puyo, there are similar in rock type and casing depth, but the big difference in average discharge. The big discharge of Hongsong is concordant with the higher intersection density and longer length of lineament in Hongsong than those of Puyo. Therefore the groundwater development strategy should be focused on the micro topography analysis and geophysical survey for the understanding of the fracture zone rather than catchment area or rock type.

본 연구에서는 국내 암석을 암종별로 총 292개 채취하였으며 열물성 측정 장비를 이용하여 이들 암석의 열물성을 측정하였다. 이와 더불어 암석의 물리적 특성을 측정하였으며 일부 시료의 경우 XRD 정량분석을 실시하였다. 이들 결과를 이용하여 암석의 열물성 특성과 열물성에 영향을 주는 인자를 파악하였다. 암석의 열물성 측정 결과 열전도도와 열확산계수는 화강암에서 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며 퇴적암, 변성암 순으로 나타났다. 또한 암종별 열물성 값의 범위를 살펴보면 변성암과 퇴적암에서 넓게 분포한다. 암석의 물성과 열물성과의 상관성 분석 결과 공극률이 증가함에 따라 열전도도와 열확산계수가 감소하나 상관성은 미약한 것으로 나타났다. XRD 분석 결과 암석의 열전도도는 석영($SiO_2$)의 함량에 따른 선형의 비례관계를 보였다. 이로써 암석의 열전도도는 암석을 이루는 광물의 종류에 의하여 영향을 받음을 알 수 있다. 차후 암석의 구성 광물입자의 배열 상태에 따른 열물성 특성과 퇴적암 및 변성암 시료에 대한 이방성 실험을 통해 편리, 층리 및 엽리 등에 따른 열물생의 이방성 정도를 분석할 예정이다.

Elastic modulus in rockmass is an important factor to represent the characteristic of rock deformation and is frequently used to estimate the displacement induced due to tunnel excavation or other activities in rockmass. Nevertheless, the study to estimate the elastic modulus, which considers the rock type and joint characteristics (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle), has been done in less frequency. Accordingly, this study is aimed at estimating of elastic modulus in jointed rockmass. For this purpose, numerical parametric studies have been carried out with a consideration of rock and joint conditions. Tunnel displacement results have been used to estimate the elastic modulus of jointed rockmass using the elastic theory of circular tunnel. From this study, the results would be expected to have a great practical use for estimating the displacement induced due to tunnel excavation or other activities in jointed rockmass.
