  • In this paper, a complement to the Hoek-Brown criterion is proposed in order to derive the strength of anisotropic rock from strength of the corresponding truly intact rock. The complement is a decay function, which unlike other modifications or suggestions made in the past, is multiplied to the function of the original Hoek-Brown failure criterion for intact rock. This results in a combined and extended form of the criterion which describes the strength of anisotropic rock as a varying fraction of the corresponding truly intact rock strength. Statistical procedures and in particular regression analyses were conducted into data obtained in experiments conducted in the current research program and those collected from the literature in order to define the Hoek-Brown's criterion complement. The complement function was best described by a simple polynomial including only three constants to be empirically evaluated. Further investigations also showed that these constants can be related to the other readily available parameters of rock material which further facilitate determining the constants. A great and prime advantage of the proposed complement is that it is mathematically simple including the least possible number of empirical constants which are easily estimated with minimum experimental effort. Moreover, proposed concept does not suggests any change to the original Hoek-Brown criterion itself or its constants and serves whenever anisotropy does exist in the rock. This further implies on the possibility of using any other failure criterion for intact rock in conjunction with the compliment to reach the strength of anisotropic rock.

  • A modified model combining Kriging and Monte Carlo method (MC) is proposed for probabilistic estimation of tunnel face stability in this paper. In the model, a novel uniform design is adopted to train the Kriging, instead of the existing active learning function. It has advantage of avoiding addition of new training points iteratively, and greatly saves the computational time in model training. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is employed to define the deterministic computational model of face failure, in which the Hoek-Brown failure criterion is introduced to account for the nonlinear behaviors of rock mass. The trained Kriging is used as a surrogate model to perform MC with dramatic reduction of calls to actual limit state function. The parameters in Hoek-Brown failure criterion are considered as random variables in the analysis. The failure probability is estimated by direct MC to test the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed probabilistic model. The influences of uncertainty level, correlation relationship and distribution type of random variables are further discussed using the proposed approach. In summary, the probabilistic model is an accurate and economical alternative to perform probabilistic stability analysis of tunnel face excavated in spatially random Hoek- Brown media.

  • 일반화된 Hoek-Brown 파괴함수는 GSI 지수를 이용하여 현장 암반의 강도정수를 결정하는 경험적 비선형 파괴조건식으로서 오늘날 다양한 암반공학적 설계에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 여전히 많은 암반공학 전문가들이 암반의 강도를 마찰각과 점착력으로 표현하는 것에 익숙하다. 또한 거의 대부분의 암반안정성해석 수치해석 프로그램이 간편한 선형 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴조건식을 채택하고 있다. 이에 따라 Hoek-Brown 파괴함수를 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴함수 틀에서 이해하는 방법의 제시가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 한계해석 상계정리를 적용하여 유도된 줄기초의 지지력 공식을 활용하여 Hoek-Brown 파괴조건을 따르는 천부 암반의 등가마찰각과 등가점착력을 계산하는 방법을 제안하였다. 일반화된 Hoek-Brown 파괴함수가 내포하는 접선점착력-접선마찰각 관계식을 이용하여 지지력 상계해를 마찰각의 함수로 표현한 후 최소 지지력 조건의 마찰각을 탐색하여 이를 등가마찰각으로 간주하였다. 제안된 방법을 활용하여 GSI, $m_i$, 교란계수 D가 등가마찰각과 등가점착력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

  • Slope stability analysis is an essential part of rock slope design. For highly fractured rock, the limit equilibrium method (LEM) based slope stability analysis with a circular failure surface is often carried out assuming the rock mass behaves more or less as a continuum. This paper examines first, the applicability of the finite-element method (FEM) based shear strength reduction (SSR) technique for highly fractured rock slope, and second the use of Mohr-Coulomb (MC) failure criterion in conjunction with generalized Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion. The numerical results on a number of cases are compared in terms of the factor of safety (FS). The results indicated that the FEM-based SSR technique yields almost the same FSs from LEM, and that the MC and HB failure criteria yield almost identical FSs when the strength parameters for MC failure criterion are obtained based on the modified HB failure criterion if and only if value of the Hoek-Brown constant $m_i$ is smaller than 10 and slope angle is smaller than 1:1, otherwise MC failure criteria over-estimate the factor of safety.

  • 임계면법을 적용하여 횡등방성 암석의 강도이방성을 해석하는 방법을 제안하였다. 암석의 파괴는 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 따르는 것으로 가정하였다. Hoek-Brown의 경험적 파괴기준식에 대응되는 Mohr 포착선식을 이용하고 강도상수인 m과 s를 방향에 따른 스칼라 함수로 정의하여 이방성 파괴함수를 구성하였다. 이방성 파괴함수를 최대고 하는 임계면의 방향을 찾기 위하여 직접 최적화기법의 하나인 공액구배법을 적용하였다. 횡등방성 안석에 대한 기존 이방성 강도모델이 대부분 삼축압축실험과 동일한 응력조건에서만 적용할 수 있는데 반하여 이 연구에서 제안된 방법은 일반적인 3차원 응력조건에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 삼축압축실험의 모사를 통하여 얻어진 삼축압축강도와 파괴면의 경사에 분석을 통하여 제안된 방법의 적합성을 검토하였다.

  • Hoek et al.(2002)이 개발한 일반화된 Hoek-Brown(GHB) 파괴기준식은 암반의 파괴응력 조건을 정의하는 비선형 함수이다. 관련 강도정수들은 GSI 지수값을 이용하여 체계적으로 결정된다. GSI 지수는 현장 암반의 상태를 정량화한 수치이므로 GHB 파괴기준식은 현장의 암반조건을 파괴기준식에 반영할 수 있는 실용적인 암반파괴함수이다. 대부분의 암반공학 기술자들이 선형 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준식에 익숙하며, 다수의 암반공학 소프트웨어들이 Mohr-Coulomb 식을 채택하고 있음을 고려하여 등가마찰각과 등가점착력 계산식이 GHB 파괴기준식 발표와 함께 제시되었다. 그러나 이 목적으로 제시된 등 가마찰각 및 등가점착력 계산식은 선형 최적화가 수행되는 최소주응력 범위의 하한 값을 암반의 인장강도로 고정시키고 있다. 따라서 해석영역에 인장응력이 분포하지 않은 경우 Hoek et al.(2002)의 제안식을 이용한 등가마찰각 및 등가점착력 산정결과는 정확성이 떨어질 수 있다. 이러한 기존 등가마찰각 및 등가점착력 산정수식의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 임의의 최소주응력 구간에 대해서도 최적 등가마찰각과 등가점착력을 계산할 수 있는 해석적 수식을 유도하고 결과식의 정확성을 검증하였다.

  • 일반화된 Hoek-Brown (GHB) 식은 암반공학적 활용에 특화된 비선형 파괴기준식이며 최근 활용 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 GHB 식은 파괴 시점의 최소주응력과 최대주응력의 관계식이며 GSI≠100이면 파괴면에 작용하는 수직응력과 전단응력의 명시적 관계식 즉, Mohr 파괴포락선식으로 표현이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 단점으로 인해 GHB 식을 한계평형해석, 상계한계해석, 임계평면법 등과 같은 수치해석기법에 적용하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 이에 따라 최근 GHB Mohr 파괴포락선을 근사적인 해석식으로 표현하려는 연구가 시도되고 있으며 관련 연구에 대한 지속적 관심이 여전히 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 기존 식보다 전단강도 예측 정확도가 높은 근사 GHB Mohr 파괴포락선 수식화 방법을 제시하였다. 개선된 수식화 과정에서는 접선마찰각의 근사 정확도를 높이는 방법과 비선형 GHB 파괴포락선의 접선식을 활용하여 전단강도 근사값의 정확도를 높이는 방법이 이용되었다. 이 논문의 후반부에서는 전단강도 예측 정확성과 계산시간 측면에서 제안된 근사 GHB 파괴포락선들의 장단점을 논의하였다.

  • Rock disturbance caused by blasting and stress relaxation is commonly observed during excavation. As the distance from the source of disturbance increases, the degree of disturbance decreases, and rock at a large depth does not experience disturbance. However, in stability analyses, a single value of disturbance is often applied to the entire rock mass, which leads to underestimated results. In this study, this modeling mistake is addressed by considering realistically varying rock disturbance. The safety of infinite slopes in a disturbed rock mass with a strength governed by the Hoek-Brown failure criterion is investigated based on the kinematic approach of limit analysis. The maximum disturbance is assigned to the outermost slope face because it is directly exposed to blasting damage and dilation, and the disturbance progressively decays with distance in the rock mass. The safety analysis results indicate that the assumption of uniform disturbance in the entire rock mass leads to underestimation of the rock strength and safety on infinite rock slopes. A critical slip surface appears to be within the disturbed rock layer as well as the interface between the disturbed upper rock and undisturbed lower rock.

  • Determination of mobilized shear strength parameters (that identify stresses on the failure plane) is required for analyzing the stability by limit equilibrium method. Generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB) and Mohr-Coulomb (MC) failure criteria are usually used for obtaining stresses on the plane of failure. In the present paper, the applicability of these criteria for determining the stresses on failure plane is investigated. The comparison is based on stresses on the real failure plane which are obtained from the Mohr stress circle. To do so, 18 sets of data (consist of principal stresses and angle of failure plane) presented in the literature are used. In addition, the values account for (VAF) and the root mean square error (RMSE) indices were calculated to check the determination performance of the obtained results. Values of VAF and RMSE for the normal stresses on the failure plane evaluated from MC are 49% and 31.5 where for GHB are 55% and 30.5, respectively. Also, for the shear stresses on failure plane, they are 74% and 36 for MC, 76% and 34.5 for GHB. Results show that the obtained stresses and angles of failure plane for each criterion differ from real ones, but GHB results are closer to the empirical results. Also, it is inferred that results are affected by the failure envelope not real failure plane. Therefore, obtained shear strength parameters are not mobilized. Finally, a multivariable regressed relation is presented for determining the stresses on the failure plane.

  • Collapse shape of tunnel roof in layered Hoek-Brown rock media is investigated within the framework of upper bound theorem. The traditional collapse mechanism for homogeneous stratum is no longer suitable for the present analysis of roof stability, and it would be necessary to propose a curve failure mode to describe the velocity discontinuity surface in layered media. What is discussed in the paper is that the failure mechanism of tunnel roofs, consisting of two different functions, is proposed for layered rock media. Then it is employed to investigate the impending roof failure. Based on the nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion, the collapse volume of roof blocks are derived with the upper bound theorem and variational principle. Numerical calculations and parametric analysis are carried out to illustrate the effects of different parameters on the shape of failure mechanism, which is of overriding significance to the stability analysis of tunnel roof in layered rock media.
