An injection experiment was carried ut to investigate the pressure domain within which hydromechanical coupling influences considerably the hydrologic behavior of a granite rock mass. The resulting database is used for testing a numerical model dedicated to the analysis of such hydromechanical interactions. These measurements were performed in an open hole section, isolated from shallower zones by a packer set at a depth of 275 m and extending down to 840 m. They consisted in a series of flow meter injection tests, at increasing injection rates. Field results showed that conductive fractures from a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fracture zones could not be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intakes zones appeared when pore pressure exceeded the minimum principal stress magnitude in that well, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress could be further supported by the circulated fractures. These characteristics give rise to the question of the influence of the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass under anisotropic stress conditions on the effects of hydromechanical couplings.

Opening of fractures induced by shear dilation or normal deformation can be a significant source of fracture permeability change in fractured rock, which is important for the performance assessment of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As the repository generates heat and later cools the fluid-carrying ability of the rocks becomes a dynamic variable during the lifespan of the repository. Heating causes expansion of the rock close to the repository and, at the same time, contraction close to the surface. During the cooling phase of the repository, the opposite takes place. Heating and cooling together with the, virgin stress can induce shear dilation of fractures and deformation zones and change the flow field around the repository. The objectives of this work are to examine the contribution of thermal stress to the shear slip of fracture in mid- and far-field around a KBS-3 type of repository and to investigate the effect of evolution of stress on the rock mass permeability. In the first part of this study, zones of fracture shear slip were examined by conducting a three-dimensional, thermo-mechanical analysis of a spent fuel repository model in the size of 2 km $\times$ 2 km $\times$ 800 m. Stress evolutions of importance for fracture shear slip are: (1) comparatively high horizontal compressive thermal stress at the repository level, (2) generation of vertical tensile thermal stress right above the repository, (3) horizontal tensile stress near the surface, which can induce tensile failure, and generation of shear stresses at the comers of the repository. In the second part of the study, fracture data from Forsmark, Sweden is used to establish fracture network models (DFN). Stress paths obtained from the thermo-mechanical analysis were used as boundary conditions in DFN-DEM (Discrete Element Method) analysis of six DFN models at the repository level. Increases of permeability up to a factor of four were observed during thermal loading history and shear dilation of fractures was not recovered after cooling of the repository. An understanding of the stress path and potential areas of slip induced shear dilation and related permeability changes during the lifetime of a repository for spent nuclear fuel is of utmost importance for analysing long-term safety. The result of this study will assist in identifying critical areas around a repository where fracture shear slip is likely to develop. The presentation also includes a brief introduction to the ongoing site investigation on two candidate sites for geological repository in Sweden.

Laboratory experiments were conducted in order to find effects of the intermediate principal stress of ${\sigma}_{2}$ on rock fractures and faults. Polyaxial tests were carried out under the most generalized compressive stress conditions, in which different magnitudes of the least and intermediate principal stresses ${\sigma}_{3}$ and ${\sigma}_{2}$ were maintained constant, and the maximum stress ${\sigma}_{1}$, was increased to failure. Two crystalline rocks (Westerly granite and KTB amphibolite) exhibited similar mechanical behavior, much of which is neglected in conventional triaxial compression tests in which ${\sigma}_{2}$ = ${\sigma}_{3}$. Compressive rock failure took the form of a main shear fracture, or fault, steeply dipping in ${\sigma}_{3}$ direction with its strike aligned with ${\sigma}_{2}$ direction. Rock strength rose significantly with the magnitude of ${\sigma}_{2}$, suggesting that the commonly used Mohr-type failure criteria, which ignore the ${\sigma}_{2}$ effect, predict only the lower limit of rock strength for a given ${\sigma}_{3}$ level. The true triaxial failure criterion for each of the crystalline rocks can be expressed as the octahedral shear stress at failure as a function of the mean normal stress acting on the fault plane. It is found that the onset of dilatancy increases considerably for higher ${\sigma}_{2}$. Thus, ${\sigma}_{2}$ extends the elastic range for a given ${\sigma}_{3}$ and, hence, retards the onset of the failure process. SEM inspection of the micromechanics leading to specimen failure showed a multitude of stress-induced microcracks localized on both sides of the through-going fault. Microcracks gradually align themselves with the ${\sigma}_{1}$-${\sigma}_{2}$ plane as the magnitude of ${\sigma}_{2}$ is raised.

암반의 초기응력 상태는 방사성 폐기물 지층 처분장의 적합성을 판단하는데 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 개별요소법을 이용하여 스웨덴 방사성 폐기물 처분장 후보지 중 하나인 오스카샴 지역에서 대규모 변형대가 초기응력에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 수치해석에서는 부지조사 과정에서 확인된 변형대를 모델에 포함시켰으며 원거리 지각응력을 경계조건으로 사용하였다. 현지 암반에서 관찰되는 초기응력값의 변화 양상이 수치해석에서도 재현이 됨으로써 수치해석이 암반의 초기응력상태를 이해하는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 수치해석을 통한 예측값과 초기응력 측정값과의 차이는 측정된 자료의 양호한 정도, 지질모델 및 변형대의 물성치의 불확실성 등에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Acromial fractures are well-documented complications subsequent to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and most appear as stress fractures with no history of single trauma. To date, no study has reported the occurrence of acute displaced acromial fracture due to sudden strong deltoid contraction during heavy work. Displacement of the fracture results in a challenging surgery since it is difficult to obtain adequate fixation in thin and osteoporotic bones. We report a rare case of acute displaced acromial fracture after successful RSA treatment, using a novel technique of open reduction and internal fixation, applying two 4.5 mm cannulated screws and lateral clavicle precontoured plate.

본 연구에서는 절리면에서의 전단거동 특성을 규명하기 위해 총 37개의 편마암종 코아 시편들을 대상으로 Portable Direct Shear Box를 이용하여 실내 직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 시편들에 가해진 최대 수직응력의 범위는 $5.60~25.67kg/\textrm{cm}^2$이었으며, 전단하중을 점진적으로 가중시키는 다단계 전단시험법에 준하여 실험하였다. 이러한 방법에 의한 실험결과들을 분석하여 절리면의 전단강도에 관한 경험식들을 제시하였으며, 전단거동에 영향을 미치는 역학적 파라미터들을 도출하여 상호 비교 분석하였다. 절리조도계수에 따른 전단강성의 변화는 수직응력이 증가함에 따라 시편의 절리조도계수가 클수록 전단강성의 값도 급증하는 경향을 보이며, 본 실험에 적용한 최대 수직응력 하에서 구한 평균 할선 전단강성은 약 $110.68kg/\textrm{cm}^3$였다. 또한 수직응력이 증가함에 따라 시편의 깅이와 전단강성 사이에는 크기효과(size effect)에 의한 반비례 관계를 나타내어, 동일한 절리조도계수를 지닌 시편일지라도 길이가 긴 시편의 경우에 전단강성이 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

The evolution of the mining-induced fracture network formed during longwall top coal caving (LTCC) has a great influence on the gas drainage, roof control, top coal recovery ratio and engineering safety of aquifers. To reveal the evolution of the mining-induced stress and fracture network formed during LTCC, the fracture network in front of the working face was observed by borehole video experiments. A discrete element model was established by the universal discrete element code (UDEC) to explore the local stress distribution. The regression relationship between the fractal dimension of the fracture network and mining stress was established. The results revealed the following: (1) The mining disturbance had the most severe impact on the borehole depth range between approximately 10 m and 25 m. (2) The distribution of fractures was related to the lithology and its integrity. The coal seam was mainly microfractures, which formed a complex fracture network. The hard rock stratum was mainly included longitudinal cracks and separated fissures. (3) Through a numerical simulation, the stress distribution in front of the mining face and the development of the fracturing of the overlying rock were obtained. There was a quadratic relationship between the fractal dimension of the fractures and the mining stress. The results obtained herein will provide a reference for engineering projects under similar geological conditions.

Single frame structures with notches were fractured by applying drop impact loadings at room temperature and low temperature. Johnson-Cook shear failure model has been employed to simulate the fractured single frame structures. Through several numerical analyses, material constants for Johnson-Cook shear failure model have been found producing the cracks resulted from experiments. Fracture strain-stress triaxiality curves at both room temperature and low temperature are presented based on the extracted material constants. It is expected that the fracture strain-stress triaxiality curves can offer objective fracture criteria for the assessment of structural fractures of polar class vessel structures fabricated from DH36 steels. The fracture experiments of single frame structures revealed that the structure on low temperature condition fractures at much lower strain than that on room temperature condition despite the same stress states at both temperatures. In conclusion, the material properties on low temperature condition are essential to estimate the fracture characteristics of steel structures operated in the Northern Sea Route.

The hydrogen embrittlement of two austenitic high-manganese steels was investigated using tensile testing under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen. The test results were compared with those of different kinds of austenitic alloys containing Ni, Mn, and N in terms of stress and ductility. It was found that the ultimate tensile stress and ductility were more remarkably decreased under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen than under high-pressure gaseous argon, unlike the yield stress. In the specimens tested under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, transgranular fractures were usually observed together with intergranular cracking near the fracture surface, whereas in those samples tested under high-pressure gaseous argon, ductile fractures mostly occurred. The austenitic high-manganese steels showed a relatively lower resistance to hydrogen embrittlement than did those with larger amounts of Ni because the formation of deformation twins or microbands in austenitic high-manganese steels probably promoted planar slip, which is associated with localized deformation due to gaseous hydrogen.

암반 내 존재하는 절리는 전단응력에 의해 미끄러지는 전단변형 거동을 하며, 역학적 경계조건 및 절리면의 거칠기에 영향을 받는다. 이러한 경우, 절리의 전단변형과 거칠기에 의해 발생된 팽창으로 인해 간극분포가 변화한다. 또한, 절리는 유체 흐름의 경로가 되며, 간극분포 특성에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 절리의 전단변형 거동에 미치는 거 칠기의 영향 및 간극분포의 변화를 정량적으로 분석하여 절리의 수리학적 거동을 해석하고자 시도하였다. 이러한 절리의 수리-역학적 거동에 대한 이해를 향상시키기 위하여 절리면의 거칠기 변화가 절리의 전단변형 및 수리 지동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여, 통계적 방법을 이용하여 절리를 발생하고, 이를 전단변형 거동과 수리학적 모델에 적용한 수치해석을 실시하였다 본 연구의 주요 결과로는, 절리의 거칠기가 감소하고 수직응력이 증가할수록 전단응력이 연성 거동으로 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 전단변형 후 절리의 간극분포는 절리면의 거칠기에 큰 영향을 받아 절리의 투수성 변화에 거칠기가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 절리면의 거칠기가 증가할수록 전단변형에 의한 채널 현상의 붕괴가 조기에 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.
