Rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering design. Much of the information for rock mass characterization comes from field fracture mapping and data collecting. This paper describes two technologies that can be used to assist with the field mapping and data collecting activities associated with rock mass characterization: digital image processing and 3D laserscanning. The basis for these techniques is described, as well as the results of field case studies and an analysis of the error in estimating fracture orientation.

대형 구조물 기초로 암반에 근입된 현장타설말뚝의 사용이 현저히 증가하고 있음에도 암반의 공학적 물성과 설계정수와의 관련이 명확히 정립되지 못한실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 암반근입말뚝의 거동 특성을 이론적으로 연구하고, 이를 수치적으로 모델링하기 위하여 지반-구조물 상호작용에 관련한 경계면 물성을 기존 연구 결과에 기초하여 합리적으로 산정하였다. 암반의 물성과 경계면 물성간의 관계를 이용하여 암반근입말뚝의 거동을 수치적으로 모사할 수 있으며 , 또한 현장 계측을 통해 얻은 말뚝의 하중전이 양상이 수치적으로 모사된 결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

One of the most general methods that can evaluate the rippability is the seismic exploration. However, most field engineers have hardly used the seismic exploration. Instead of using the seismic exploration, they have usually used rock hammer and naked eyes to confirm the degree of rippability for soil, ripping rock and blasting rock. Therefore, to excavate the ground rationally, it is required to establish a quantitative criterion that can be used for distinguishing rippability. In this study, we find out the characteristics of rock strength through laboratory and field tests. The weathering condition of rock exposed to air due to excavation of soil layer and the variation of rock strength caused by weathering were investigated. A relationship between rock strength values that are obtained from uniaxial compression test, slaking durability test, point load test, schmidt hammer test and absorption ratio test is analyzed. The relationship is expressed in a form of equation by which we can evaluate the rock strengths obtained from simple laboratory and field tests. To evaluate rippability in a reasonable manner, a quantitative approach is proposed and a check list of rippability is developed based on the proposed methodology. It is recommended to modify the proposed method for evaluation of rippability in the field.

Numerical methods to estimate behaviors of jointed rock mass can be roughly divided into two method : discontinuous model and continuum model. Generally, distinct element method (DEM) is applied in discontinuous model, and finite element method (FEM) or finite difference method (FDM) is utilized in continuum model. To predict a behavior of discontinuous model by DEM, it is essential to understand characteristics of joints developed in rock mass through field tests. However, results of field tests can not provide full information about rock mass because field tests is conducted in limited area. In this paper, discontinuous analysis by UDEC and continuous analysis by FLAC is utilized to estimate a behavior of a tunnel in jointed rock mass. For including discontinuous analysis in continuous analysis, joints in rock mass is considered by reducing rock mass properties obtained by RMR and decreasing shear strength of rock mass. By comparing and revising two analysis results, analysis results similar with practical behavior of a tunnel can be induced and appropriate support system is decided.

Coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) processes are essential for the long-term performance of deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In this study, a numerical sensitivity analysis was performed to analyze the effect of rock properties on THM responses after the execution of the heater test at the Kamaishi mine in Japan. The TOUGH-FLAC simulator was applied for the numerical simulation assuming a continuum model for coupled THM analysis. The rock properties included in the sensitivity study were the Young's modulus, permeability, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficients of crystalline rock, rock salt, and clay. The responses, i.e., temperature, water content, displacement, and stress, were measured at monitoring points in the buffer and near-field rock mass during the simulations. The thermal conductivity had an overarching impact on THM responses. The influence of Young's modulus was evident in the mechanical behavior, whereas that of permeability was noticed through the change in the temperature and water content. The difference in the THM responses of the three rock type models implies the importance of the appropriate characterization of rock mass properties with regard to the performance assessment of the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste.

This paper addresses the issue of field measurement of excavation damage zone (EDZ) and its numerical simulation method considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects. Firstly, a 2000 m-deep rock cavern in China is focused. A detailed analysis is conducted on the field measurement data regarding the mechanical response of rock masses subjected to excavation and blasting operation. The extent of EDZ is revealed 3.6 m-4.0 m, accounting for 28.6% of the cavern span, so it is significantly larger than rock caverns at conventional overburden depth. The rock mass mechanical response subjected to excavation and blasting is time-independent. Afterwards, based on findings of the field measurement data, a numerical evaluation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects is presented. The basic idea and general procedures are illustrated. It features a calibration operation of damage constant, which is defined in an elasto-plastic damage constitutive model, and a regression process of blasting load using field blasting vibration monitoring data. The numerical simulation results are basically consistent with the field measurement results. Further, some issues regarding the blasting loads, applicability of proposed numerical method, and some other factors are discussed. In conclusion, the field measurement data collected from the 2000 m-deep rock cavern and the corresponding findings will broaden the understanding of tunnel behavior subjected to excavation and blasting at great depth. Meanwhile, the presented numerical simulation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects can be used to evaluate rock caverns with similar characteristics.

본 연구에서는 암성토의 토공량 설계에 대한 대책방안으로 현장밀도시험을 수행하였으며, 현장밀도시험결과 암성토부의 발파암 평균 체적환산계수는 1.001로서 풍화암의 체적환산계수 1.1보다 작은 값이 나타났다. 이와 같이 암성토의 경우 여러 가지 현상에 의해 토공량의 증감 원인을 제공하고 있으나, 이에 대한 조사 및 시험방법 등 구체적인 기술 등이 부족한 실정이므로 본 연구결과에서와 같이 체적환산계수를 검토하기 위한 조사방법으로 현장밀도시험방법이 매우 유용한 방법임을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한차분해석을 통하여 말뚝직경, 암반물성, 불연속면의 간격 및 방향 등 주요 인자가 암반근입 현장타설말뚝의 선단거동에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 토대로 초기기울기 및 극한 단위선단지지력을 변수로 하는 쌍곡선형태의 선단하중전이(q-w)함수를 제안하였다. 제안식의 국내 암반지반에의 적용을 위하여 국내에서 수행된 14개 현장 23본의 시험말뚝의 재하시험자료를 토대로 제안식의 경험계수를 산정하였으며, 더불어 기존 초기기울기 및 극한단위선단지지력 산정식의 타당성 검토도 수행하였다. 현장재하시험 사례와의 비교분석 결과, 본 연구에서 제안된 산정식은 국내 암반지반에 근임된 현장타설말뚝의 선단거동을 비교적 잘 예측 가능하고, 말뚝지지력 및 침하량 예측값이 실측값에 가까움을 알 수 있었다.
