With the rapid development of highways and railways, series of traffic safety issues emerged because of mudstone disintegration. To research on the mechanism and further guarantee the stability and safety of transportation infrastructure built on or near mudstone formations, the mudstone disintegration test of mudstone was carried out based on mudstone and sandy mudstone. The element types, cementation characteristics and pore characteristics of the tested specimens were studied by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Image Pro Plus (IPP). The disintegration index of mudstone was approximately 1%, and even some specimens were difficult to be calculated, while the disintegration index of sandy mudstone is approximately 8.7%. According to the results, the two mudstones belong to grade II and III disintegration respectively, of which the sandy stone presents more extensive disintegration than mudstone. This phenomenon was distinguished that, the clay minerals of mudstone are approximately 25% more abundant than those of sandy mudstone, and the unit pore area is 20 ㎛² larger, which result in different microstructure and water absorption capacities. In the liquid phase, the ions in the mudstone specimens were exchanged and combined with water molecules in the environment during the whole disintegration process. This results in continuous spalling and fragmentation of clay minerals, the emergence of secondary fractures, and the deepening of primary fractures.

The Middle to Late Cambrian Machari Formation in the Machari area, Yeongweol, Korea consists of 7 lithofacies and 3 facies associations, which are thought to be deposits of carbonate ramp (mid to outer ramp) to basin environment. These lithofacies are bedded lime mudstone, laminated lime mudstone, bioclastic/peloidal packstone to grainstone, poloidal/bioclastic wackestone, conglomerate, mottled lime mudstone, and shale. Bedded lime mudstone facies, a few cm thick lime mudstone alternating with shale layer, is believed to have been deposited by intermittent dilute turbidity currents. Laminated lime mudstone facies, alternating lime mudstone with laminated shale, is interpreted to have been formed by fine-grained turbidity currents. Bioclastic/peloidal packstone to grainstone facies was deposited by turbidity current and peloidal/bioclastic wackestone faceis was deposited by debris flow. Conglomerate facies is thought to be deposits of storm activities. Mottled lime mudstone facies is interpreted to have been formed by bioturbation. Shale facies is interpreted to have been formed by suspension settling. Seven lithofacies of the Machari Formation are divided into three facies associations. Facies association I consisted of bedded lime mudstone facies, mottled lime mudstone facies, conglomerate facies, and bioclastic/peloidal packstone to grainstone facies, is interpreted to have been deposited on the mid ramp. Facies assocaition II consisted of bedded lime mudstone facies, laminated lime mudstone facies, bioclastic/peloidal packstone to grainstone facies, and peloidal/bioclastic wackestone facies is thought to be deposits of the outer ramp. Facies association III consisted of laminated lime mudstone facies and shale facies is interpreted to have been formed on the basin environment.

Mudstone is a very common rock that, when in contact with water, can exhibit considerable volume change and breakdown. This behavior of mudstone is frequently encountered in geotechnical engineering and has a considerable influence on infrastructure stability. This is particularly important in the present work, which focuses on mitigating the harmful properties of mudstone. The samples studied are of Permian Age mudstone from Shandong Province, China. Modification tests using organic silicone additive material were carried out. The mechanisms of physical properties modification of mudstone were comparatively studied using corresponding test methods, and the modification mechanism of organic silicone additive material acting on mudstone was analyzed. The following conclusions were drawn. The surface texture and characters of mudstone changed dramatically, surface character turns from hydrophilic to hydrophobic after organic silicone additive material modification. The changes in the surface character indicate a reduction in the water sensitivity of mudstone. After modification, the shape of porosity and fracture of mudstone changed unremarkable, and the total and free expansion ratios decreased obviously, whereas the strength increased markedly.

The sedimentary succession on the northern coast of Jindo and the adjacent area comprises the thinly bedded, fine-grained deposits of an epiclastic sandstone, siltstone, black shale/mudstone, and cherty mudstone (ca. 200m in vertical thickness), which are interpreted as the finely stratified turbidites mainly by density underflow-induced currents. Most deposits can be divided into eight facies: thin-bedded, ash-rich massive sandstone layer (mS), graded and laminated mudstone layer (glM), graded mudstone layer with ripple lamination (rM), laminated and graded siltstone layer (lgZ), finely laminated black shale layer (IBS), structureless mudstone layer (mM), thin-bedded cherty mudstone layer (lCM), and contorted and laminated mudstone layer (dlM), The thin-bedded, ash-rich sandstone facies is interpreted to be deposited from high-density turbid underflows during a relatively large flooding. Most thinly bedded mudstone facies would be deposited from low-density turbid underflows (turbidity currents) with some different hydrodynamic condition and sediment concentration during the high discharge of river water. Whereas the structureless mudstone facies may result from raining down of suspended sediment intermittently supplied by overflows and interflows. From the entire succession, graded and laminated mudstone layers interbedded with thin-bedded, ash-rich massive sandstone are dominant in the lower part of the succession, and graded mudstone layers with ripple lamination ripple lamination occur mainly in the middle part of it. On the other hand, iaminated/raded siltstone and contorted/laminated mudstone layers prevail in the upper part. The transition of facies association is suggestive of the continuous change of main depositional setting from basin plain to lower slope, which could be due to the movement of depocenter by the increase of sediment supply (volcanic activity).

The cut slope sliding which has been frequently encountered in Pohang area has been reported due to the rapid reduction of shear strength in mudstone after being exposed to the air. Mudstone has characteristics that it has high enough strength and stiffness in a dry condition, but the strength and stiffness decrease in a wet condition with groundwater infiltration. The case study in this paper shows that mudstone which had enough strength in a boring stage has lost the strength after installing PRD steel pipe pile inducing an insufficient bearing capacity, which has been ascertained by the static load test. Test construction has been performed to investigate the most favorable method for increasing a pile bearing capacity in mudstone with various methods such as MSG (Micro Silica Grouting) around the tip and side of a pile, the perimeter grouting combined with Micro pile reinforcement, and concrete filling after tip reinforcing grouting. From the test construction, MSG has been turned out to be the most favorable method for increasing a pile bearing capacity in mudstone, which has been confirmed by the static load test.

본 연구에서는 포항이암을 대상으로 다양한 경계조건에서의 creep 시험을 수행하여 이암의 시간의존적 특성을 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 기존에 발표된 creep에 대한 점탄성 모델 및 경험식들과 비교 분석함으로써 더 합리적으로 creep 특성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. Creep 시험결과를 Griggs(1936), Cottrell(1952) 및 Singh(1975)이 제안한 경험식에 대하여 분석한 결과, 전반적으로 응력수준 및 함수비가 증가할수록 creep 상수가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, Singh의 경험식에 의한 예측치는 실측치와 매우 높은 상관성을 보이고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이로부터 이암의 크리프 거동을 해석함에 있어 Singh의 경험식을 적용함이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 유동학적 모델인 Burger 모델에 의한 예측치와 실측치를 비교한 결과, 매우 좋은 일치를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 이로부터 이암의 크리프 거동을 해석함에 있어 Maxwell 요소와 Kelvin 요소를 직렬로 연결한 Burger 모델을 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

The interest in the dynamic properties of soils has increased strongly because of earthquake, heavy traffic, and foundations undergo high amplitude of vibrations. Most of soils in Korean peninsula are composed of granite soils, especially the decomposed mudstone soils are widely spread in Pohang areas, Kyong-buk province. Therefore, it Is very important to investigate the dynamic properties of these types of soils. The most important soil parameters under dynamic loadings are shear modulus and material dampings. Furthermore, few definitive data exist that can evaluate the behavior of unsaturated decomposed mudstone soils under dynamic loading conditions. The investigations described in this paper is designed to identify the shear modulus and damping ratio due to a surface tension for the unsaturated decomposed mudstone soils ulder low and high strain amplitude, For this purpose, the resonant column test and the cyclic triaxial test were performed. Test results and data have shown that the optimum degree of saturation under low and strain amplitude is 32 ∼ 37% which is higher than that of decomposed granite due to the amount of fine particles as well as the type and proportion of chief rock-forming minerals.

이암은 건조 조건에서는 일정한 강도와 강성을 가지나, 지하수 침투 등에 의한 습윤, 포화 시 고유의 강도 및 강성이 저하되어 급속히 풍화되는 특성을 가지며, 포항지역에서 자주 발생하는 절취사면의 활동은 주로 이암이 풍화되어 전단강도가 급격히 저하되는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 시추조사시 강성이 충분한 것으로 평가된 이암층에 PRD강관말뚝을 시공한 후 정재하 시험을 실시한 결과 소요지지력이 부족하여, 이를 보강하기 위한 가장 우수한 방법을 찾기 위하여 여러 가지 공법을 검토하였다. 말뚝지지력 증대에 가장 효과적인 방법을 찾기 위해 말뚝주변 및 선단부에 MSG공법, 마이크로파일 보강후 주변그라우팅공법, 선단보강 그라우팅 및 콘크리트 속채움 등의 방법으로 시험시공을 실시하였고, 시험말뚝에 대한 정재하시험 결과 MSG공법으로 보강한 말뚝의 지지력이 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 정적은 물론 동적 거동에 관한 연구가 거의 없는 포항지역의 이암풍화토에 대하여 저변형률하에서의 동적 거동 파악을 위하여 수행되었다. 동적 거동에 영향을 미치는 요소들로는 간극비, 포화도 그리고 구속압 등 3가지의 변수를 설정하였다. 그 중 간극비와 포화도를 달리하여 공시체를 제작하고 구속압을 단계적으로 증가시켜가며 저변형률하에서의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 거동을 고찰하였다. 이러한 저변형률하에서의 시험을 실시하기 위해 공진주 시험장치를 사용하였으며, 시험에서 얻어진 결과값들을 이용하여 이암풍화토의 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 저변형률하에서 이암풍화토의 최적포화도가 $32{\sim}37%$ 나타났다. 이는 주광물의 비율과 형상뿐만 아니라 세립분의 함유량 차이로 인하여 화강풍화토보다 크게 나타났다.

본 연구에서 포항 제3기 이암의 실내시험을 통해 기본적인 특성과 산성배수 발생능력을 파악하였다. XRF 분석 결과 SiO₂ 성분이 약 60%로 가장 많이 포함되어 있으며, 다음으로 Al₂O₃와 Fe₂O₃ 순으로 산성배수 발생 개연성이 높은 산화물이 많이 존재함을 알 수 있다. XRD 분석 결과 이암이 황철석(FeS₂)을 포함하고 있어 산성배수 발생 개연성이 높은데, 유도결합플라즈마 분광분석기(ICP)로 분석 결과에서도 이암 시료에서 Fe²⁺ 이온이 높게 측정되었다. 이온 크로마토그래피(IC)로 측정한 음이온 분석 결과 모든 이암 시료 SO^2-₄ 농도가 높게 측정되었다. 원소 분석결과 총 황(S) 함량이 높아 최대 산 발생량(MPA) 계산 결과 1% 이상으로 산성배수 발생 위험이 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 제3기 이암은 시료에 따라 다소 차이가 있으나 전반적으로 산성배수 발생능력이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
