Rockbolt is one of the most common supports used to reinforce discontinuous rock during underground excavation. Extra drain pipes are installed to improve excavation workability and the anchorage of rockbolts in water bearing ground. The drain pipe is effective in improving the workability by providing drainage path, but it is difficult to expect the reinforcement effect, increasing disturbance of the discontinuous rock mass and the construction cost. To solve this problem, dual purpose rockbolt (DPR) has been developed for the reinforcement of rock and the drainage of ground water. DPR was able to improve the mechanical and hydraulic stability of the rocks quickly and economically. Two kinds of DPRs using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and steel were investigated for the mechanical and hydraulic performance. Also, the workability and stability of DPR were analyzed.

The GFRP(Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic) pipe is designed to behave safely against the external forces and to secure stability of deformation and settlements of pipe, since it is laid under the ground. In this study, the evaluation for the pressure stability was carried out by performing the laboratory experiments to figure out the mechanical properties of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic pipe, take a theoretical approach, and suggest the mechanical properties necessary for the analysis and design of GFRP. Numerical analysis is also conducted to evaluate on the field application through the comparison concerning relations between deformation and differential settlement in the GFRP and hume pipes when all and half sections are under the surcharge load.

중국 Three Gorges Project의 대수로사면 안정성은 설계와 시공측면에 있어 주요 관심사가 되었다. 사면 굴착으로 인한 제하과정에서 암반은 역학적으로 불안정한 상태에 놓인다. 본 논문은 FEM(2D-3D)를 이용하여 단층 암반 굴착으로 인한 암반사면의 안정성을 평가하였다. 해석결과 굴착 후 수로사면의 양측 수직벽과 분리울타리의 중간 상부에서 인장응력과 전단손상영역이 주로 발생하였다. 해석결과를 토대로 대규모 사면활동에 대한 안정성을 확인하였으나 시공단계에서 국부적 사면활동을 방지하기 위한 록볼트와 록앵커 등의 보강이 필요한 것으로 검토되었다.

The treatment and hauling of surplus soils which occur from construction activity are costly and have been demanding a reasonable recycling method. This study presents laboratory test results regarding the mechanistic properties of asphalt stabilized soils. The foamed asphalt equipment which generates the asphalt bubble was used to mix the soil. The marshall stability, indirect tensile test, resilient modulus, creep test and triaxial test(UU) were conducted to find out the performance of the asphalt stabilized soil. The test results were compared with the samples that fabricated in different conditions(the samples without asphalt and the reinforced samples using 2% cement). The inclusion of the asphalt in the soil has improved the marshall stability, resilient modulus and moisture susceptibility, and the addition of the 2% cement has even more increased these properties. The amount of the fines and the optimum moisture contents for mixing affects the mechanistic properties and important parameters for mix design.

An Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ), in which rock properties are permanently changed due to blasting impact or stress redistribution, can influence the behavior and stability of structures. In this study, the mechanical stability of an underground opening was simulated by using FLAC, which is a two-dimensional modeling code, with a consideration of EDZ. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out with fractional factorial design. From the modeling, it was found that the behavior and the stability of an underground tunnel are strongly dependent on the existence of the EDZ. The sensitivity analysis showed that the key parameters affecting the factor of safety around the tunnel are in-situ stress ratio, depth, cohesion, reduction ratio, internal friction angle, and height and width of the tunnel. It is necessary to consider the EDZ, which can significantly affect mechanical stability in tunnel design.

We present a numerical model to simulate coupled hydro-mechanical behavior of fault using TOUGH-FLAC simulator. This study aims to develop a numerical method to estimate fluid injection-induced fault reactivation in low permeability rock and to access the relevant hydro-mechanical stability in rock as part of DECOVALEX-2019 Task B. A coupled fluid flow and mechanical interface model to explicitly represent a fault was suggested and validated from the applications to benchmark simulations and the field experiment at Mont Terri underground laboratory in Switzerland. The pressure build-up, hydraulic aperture evolution, displacement, and stress responses matched those obtained at the site, which indicates the capability of the model to appropriately capture the hydro-mechanical processes in rock fault.

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional DEM programs, UDEC and 3DEC, were used to investigate the mechanical stability of the conceptual design of deposition drift and deposition holes constructed in a crystalline rock mass. From the simulations, the influence of discontinuities, the number of deposition holes, and deposition hole interval on the stability of deposition drift and deposition holes could be determined. From the two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis. it was concluded that three-dimensional analysis should be carried 7ut fur deriving reliable conclusions. Even though the deposition hole interval changed from 8 m to 3 m, which did not damage the mechanical stability of the deposition drift.

호안은 유수의 침입으로부터 제방 및 하안의 침식 피해를 방지하기 위해 제방에 설치되는 구조물이다. 침식에 의한 제방 및 호안의 대표적인 붕괴특성 중에는 만곡부, 하천 급경사, 지형의 간섭효과 등이 있다. 특히, 만곡부는 원심력, 2차류 등에 의한 수위상승 및 유속증가로 제체에 응력 집중이 발생되어 안정성 저하를 유발할 수 있다. 또한, 만곡부의 흐름 방향전환 현상은 하도내 통수능 저하를 발생시켜 홍수피해를 가중시킬 수 있다. 따라서 하천특성상 만곡부에 의해 발생할 수 있는 홍수피해 요소를 저감시킬 수 있도록 적합한 피해저감대책을 마련할 필요가 있다. 제방의 보강대책으로서 활용되고 있는 호안은 역학적인 측면에서 외력과 저항력의 크기에 따라 안정성이 평가되어야 하며 지역여건 등에 따른 만곡부의 수위상승 및 제방 침식 등을 고려한 설계가 수행되어야 한다. 국내 실무에서 적용되고 있는 호안설계방법은 하천설계기준 해설(2009)을 참고하고 있는데, 흐름현상 및 만곡부 특성 등에 대하여 경험과 이론의 양면을 고려한 설계를 수행하도록 제안하고 있다. 이는 호안 안정성에 대한 역학적 검토 방법의 한계로 비합리적 설계가 될 우려가 있다. 따라서 만곡부에 의한 유속 및 소류력 등 흐름특성을 고려한 정량적인 평가기법이 요구되는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험을 통해 만곡에 의한 흐름영향과 수리학적 거동 및 설계요소를 파악하고자 만곡부에 사석호안공을 설치하여 흐름전환 및 유속변화에 따른 사석호안공의 이탈현상을 재현하였다. 실험수로는 곡률반경( )이 4.5 m인 만곡부가 3개소 발생하는 폭 2.3 m, 길이 25 m의 다중 사행수로 형태이다. 실험수로 우안의 1V:2H 경사면에 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mm 사석을 크기별로 설치하여 만곡에 의한 유속변화 등 흐름현상과 호안공 이탈을 관찰하였다. 수리실험은 고정상으로 수행되었으며 정상류 흐름조건에서 공급유량별 하류단 수위 조절을 통해 만곡부내 호안 공 이탈을 발생시키는 설계인자를 도출하고자 유속과 수심을 측정하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 사석호안공 설계시 1차원 접근유속에 만곡 영향을 고려하여 대표유속으로 적용하는 방법의 특성을 파악하고, 사석호안공의 이탈유속과 만곡에 의한 흐름특성간의 상관관계를 분석하여 제원결정기법을 제안하였다.

In this study, an Assembled Earth Retaining Wall (AER wall) is newly proposed. The AER wall combined stabilizing piles names as Back Supporting Beam is developed to improve stability and economics of existing retaining walls. For the verification of the AER wall, the field model tests and 3D numerical analyses were performed. As a result of the field tests, it can be confirmed that the earth pressure is considerably reduced compared with the L-shaped retaining wall. Also, the 3D numerical analyses show that AER wall is at least 29.85% more effective at lateral displacement than general L-shaped retaining wall. In other words, AER wall is expected to raise economical efficiency because of excellent mechanical stability of Back Supporting Beam.
