In structures excavated in rock mass, load progressively increases to a level and remains constant during the construction. Rocks display different elastic properties such as E_i and ʋ under different loading conditions and this requires to use the true values of elastic properties for the design of safe structures in rock. Also, rocks will undergo horizontal and vertical deformations depending on the amount of load applied. However, under constant loads, values of E_i and ʋ will vary in time and induce variations in the behavior of the rock mass. In some empirical equations in which deformation modulus of the rock mass is taken into consideration, elastic parameters of intact rock become functions in the equation. Hence, the use of time dependent elastic properties determined under constant loading will yield more reliable results than when only constant elastic properties are used. As well known, rock material will play an important role in the deformation mechanism since the discontinuities will be closed due to the load. In this study, E_i and ʋ values of intact rocks were investigated under different constant loads for certain rocks with high deformation capabilities. The results indicated significant time dependent variations in elastic properties under constant loading conditions. E_i value obtained from deformability test was found to be higher than the E_i value obtained from the constant loading test. This implies that when static values of elastic properties are used, the material is defined as more elastic than the rock material itself. In fact, E_i and ʋ values embedded in empirical equations are not static. Hence, this workattempts to emerge a new understanding in designing of safer structures in rock mass by numerical methods. The use of time-dependent values of E_i and ʋ under different constant loads will yield more accurate results in numerical modeling analysis.

지하암반의 변형은 단층, 절리 등의 불연속면을 따라 발생하므로 불연속면의 역학적 특성과 공간적인 분포형태는 구조물의 안정성에 근 영향을 미친다. 한편 연약암반에 높은 응력이 작용하는 경우에는 불연속면뿐만 아니라 무결암에서의 변형이 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 암반구조물의 안정성 해석을 위하여 무결암과 절리, 그리고 록볼트를 점소성(visco-plastic) 재료로 가정하고, 연속체 개념을 적용하여 유변학적 모델(Rheological model)에 기초한 2차원 점소성 유한요소 프로그램을 개발하였다. 무결암 모델, 절리암반 모델, 록볼트로 보강된 절리암반 모델의 분석을 통하여 개발된 프로그램을 검증하였고, 각각의 모델에서 무결암의 해석 조건(탄성/점소성)에 따른 변위의 차이를 알아보았다. 연약암반에 높은 응력이 작용할 때, 무결암을 탄성으로 해석한 경우보다 점소성으로 해석한 경우에서 지하구조물의 변위가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 연약암반 내 지하구조물의 안정성 해석을 위해서는 절리와 록볼트 뿐만 아니라 무결암에 대해서도 점소성 모델을 적용하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.

This study conducts uniaxial compression tests on intact and single crack-contained rocks to investigate the time-frequency domain characteristics of acoustic emission (AE) signals monitored during the deformation failure process. A processing approach, short-time Fourier transform (STFT), is performed to obtain the evolution characteristics of time-frequency domain of AE signals. The AE signal modes at different deformation stages of rocks are different. Five modes of AE signal are observed during the cracking process of rocks. The evolution characteristics of time-frequency domain of AE signals processed by STFT can be utilized to evaluate the damage process of rocks. The difference of time-frequency domain characteristics between intact and cracked rocks is comparatively analyzed. The distribution characteristics of frequency changing from a single band-shaped cluster to multiple band-shaped clusters can be regarded as an early warning information of damage and failure of rocks. Meanwhile, the attenuation of frequency enables the exploration of rock failure trends.

Uniaxial and biaxial compressive tests were conducted on limestone specimens containing artificial joints and a circular hole to investigate the influence of inclination and number of joints on compressive strength and deformation behavior of rock with a circular hole. Under uniaxial and biaxial compressive condition, the inclination of joints showing the maximum and minimum strength were 0$^{\circ}$ and 30$^{\circ}$ respectively, which was independent of the number of joints. Under uniaxial compressive condition, relative maximum strength of rock with n=1 and 3 to intact rock with a circular hole were 12.5%~82.8% and 11.4~62.5% respectively, and under biaxial compressive condition, 18.2~91.0% and 17.0~87.5% respectively. The influence of the number of joints on the decrease of compressive strength was greater under uniaxial than under biaxial compressive condition. Under uniaxial and biaxial compressive condition, axial and lateral deformations of rock showed the least values where $\alpha$=30$^{\circ}$. Under uniaxial compressive condition, axial and lateral deformation at maximum strength of rock have the increasing tendency with increase the number of joints. But they have the decreasing tendency under biaxial compressive condition. Under uniaxial and biaxial compressive conditions, axial deformation of circular hole was greater than lateral deformation without respect to the number of joints and the inclination of joints.

Direct shear tests were on ducted in a laboratory setting in order to investigate the shear strength and deformation behavior of rock joints. Also, the characteristics of acoustic emissions (AE) during shearing of rock joints were studied. The artificial rock joints were created by splitting the intact blocks of Hwangdeung granites and Iksan marbles. Joint roughness profiles were measured by a profile gage and then digitized by Image analyzer. Roughness profile indices(Rp) of the joints were calculated with these digitized data. Peak shear strength, residual shear strength, shear stiffness and maximum acoustic emission(AE) rate were investigated with joint roughness. The peak shear strenght, the residual shear strength and the shear stiffness were increased as roughness popfile index or normal stress increased in the shear tests of granites. In the tests of marble samples, the shear deformation characteristics were not directly affected by joint roughness. As the result of two directional shear tests, the shear characteristics were varied with shear direction. AE count rates were measured during the shear deformation and the AE signals in several stages of the deformation were analyzed in a frequency domain. The AE rate peaks coincided with the stress drops during the shear deformation of joint. The dominant frequencies of the AE signals were in the vicinity of 100 kHz fo rgranite sample and 900 kHz for marble samples. The distribution of amplitude was dispersed with increasing normal stress.

Rock is a heterogeneous material, which introduces complexity in the analysis of rock slopes, since both the existing discontinuities within the rock mass and the intact rock contribute to the degradation of strength. Rock failure is often catastrophic due to the brittle nature of the material, involving the sliding along structural planes and the fracturing of rock bridge. This paper proposes an advanced discretization method of rock mass based on block theory. An in-house software, GeoSMA-3D, has been developed to generate the discrete fracture network (DFN) model, considering both measured and artificial joints. Measured joints are obtained from the photogrammetry analysis on the excavation face. Statistical tools then facilitate to derive artificial joints within the rock mass. Key blocks are searched to provide guidance on potential reinforcement measures. The discretized blocky system is subsequently implemented into a discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) code. Strength reduction technique is employed to analyze the stability of the slope, where the factor of safety can be obtained once excessive deformation of slope profile is observed. The combined analysis approach also provides the failure mode, which can be used to guide the choice of strengthening strategy if needed. Finally, an illustrated example is presented for the analysis of a rock slope of 20 m height inclined at $60^{\circ}$ using combined GeoSMA-3D and DDA calculation.

터널의 설계 시 변형계수, 포아송비, 내부마찰각, 점착력 등의 지반특성치가 이용되는데, 이 중 변형계수는 터널변위에 가장 큰 영향을 준다. 그러나 암반의 변형계수는 불연속면과 시료크기 등의 영향으로 시험으로 결정하기 매우 어렵기 때문에 주로 경험적인 방법에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서 현장조사, 실내시험, 및 시추조사를 통해 얻은 지반특성치에 근거하여 수치해석을 실시한 결과, 계산된 변위와 현장 계측치가 일치하지 않았다. 그래서 변형계수를 변화시키면서 반복해석을 실시하여 변형계수와 터널변위의 상관성을 구하였으며, 상관관계식은 2 터널에서 얻어진 자료에 근거하여 적합성을 검증하였는데, 이 현장에서는 암반의 변형계수가 암석 탄성계수의 약 $30{\sim}40%$정도인 것으로 보인다.

The effects of anchor on fractured specimens in splitting test are simulated by DDARF method, the results of which are compared with laboratory test results. They agree well with each other. The paper contents also use the laboratory model test. The main research objects are three kinds of specimens, namely intact specimens, jointed specimens and anchored-jointed specimens. The results showed that with the joint angle increased, the weakening effects of jointed rock mass are more obvious. At these points, the rock bolts' strengthening effects on the specimens have become more significant. There is a significant impact on the failure modes of rock mass by the joint and the anchorage.

본 연구에서는 국내의 107개 터널 설계 과정에서 수행한 현장 및 실내시험 자료 4,280개를 이용하여 암반 및 무결암의 역학적 특성을 암종 및 강도별로 분석하였다. 분석된 물리 및 역학적 특성은 단위중량, 점착력, 내부마찰각, 변형계수, 탄성계수, 포아송비, 일축압축강도, 인장강도, 투수계수, 비중이다. 평균값의 분석 결과에 의하면 편마암은 비중, 화강암은 투수계수, 퇴적암은 단위중량과 점착력, 내부마찰각, 화산암은 변형계수와 탄성계수, 일축압축강도, 인장강도, 변성암은 포아송비에서 가장 높은 값을 보인다. 역학적 특성의 분포 범위는 암종 및 강도를 고려한 분석에도 불구하고 넓게 분포하며, 이는 암반의 불균질성과 이방성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

일반적으로 현지 암반은 강도의 변화가 심 한 다양한 불연속면들을 포함하여 불균질하고 불연속성 을 나타낸다. 절리, 단층, 균열, 층리와 같은 불연속면들은 암반의 강도와 변형특성을 좌우하는 중요한 요인이다. 결과적으로, 지하공동의 안정성은 무결암의 역학적 특성뿐만 아니 라, 공동의 기하학적 형상과 관련하여 불연속면들의 공간적 분포와 역학적 특성에 크게 영 향을 받는다. 따라서 지하심부의 응력 조건에서의 공동설계를 위해서는 불연속 암반의 거동에 대한 정확한 이해가 필수적이다. 암반역 학 분야의 발전에 의하여 등방성 암반에서 의지 하공동 설계를 위한 기준이 제시되고 있으나, 불연속성 암반의 변형 거동은 불명확성 이 여전히 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 연속체절 리모델을 적용하여 불연속성 암반내의 지하공동 주변의 소성영역의 크기, 응력분포 및 변형거동에 대하여 매개변수의 변화에 따른 영향을 고찰하였다. Mohr-Coulomb 파괴 이론에 의한 탄소성 유한차분법을 적용하였으며, 비조합 유동법칙과 완전소성 물질거 동을 가정하였다.
