This paper investigated the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on the support system in jointed rock mass by considering different earth pressure coefficients, rock types and joint inclination angles. The study mainly focused on the effect of the earth pressure coefficients on the earth pressure. Based on a physical model test (Son & Park, 2014), extended studies were conducted considering rock-structure interactions based on the discrete element method, which can consider the joints characteristics of rock mass. The results showed that the earth pressure was highly influenced by the earth pressure coefficients as well as the rock type and joint inclination angles. The effects of the earth pressure coefficients increased when the rock suffered more weathering and has no joint slide. The test results were also compared with Peck's earth pressure for soil ground, and clearly showed that the earth pressure in jointed rock mass can be greatly different from that in soil ground. This study indicated the earth pressure coefficients considering the rock types and joint inclination angles are important parameters influencing the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure, which should be considered when designing the support systems in jointed rock mass.

Due to the constraints in pre site-investigation for tunnel, it is essential to redesign the support structures suitable for rock mass conditions such as rock strength, ground water and discontinuity conditions for safe tunnel construction. For the selection of optimum support, it is very important to carry out the rock mass classification and in-situ measurement in tunnelling. In this paper, in a mountain tunnel designed by NATM in hard rock, the selectable system for optimum support has been studied. The tunnel is situated at Chun-an in Kyungbu highspeed railway line with 2 lanes over a length of 4, 020 m and a diameter of 15 m. The tunnel was constructed by drill & blasting method and long bench cut method, designed five types of standard support patterns according to rock mass conditions. In this tunnel, face mapping based on image processing of tunnel face and rock mass classification by RMR carried out for the quantitative evaluation of the characteristics of rock mass and compared with rock mass classes in design. Also, in-situ measurement of convergence and crown settlement conducted about 30 m interval, assessed the stability of tunnel from the analysis of monitoring data. Through the results of rock mass classification and in-situ measurement in several sections, the design of supports were modified for the safe and economic tunnelling.

해안매립 및 방조제 공사 시 바닥사석은 장비의 이동성 및 현장 시공성을 개선하기 위하여 포설된다. 그러나 공사완료 후 이러한 바닥사석층은 상부 구조물에 치명적인 침투피해의 원인으로 작용하나 이러한 바닥사석층에 대한 침투특성이 규명되지 않아 바닥사석층이 있는 구조물의 정확한 침투거동 파악이 곤란하다. 보통 사석층내의 침투는 Non-Darcy 흐름으로 알려져 있지만, 성토층 등 지중에 매설된 사석층 내의 침투는 Darcy 흐름 또는 Non-Darcy 흐름인지는 아직까지 명확히 파악되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성토지반에 매설되어 있는 사석층의 침투특성을 파악하기 위하여 수치해석, 실내모형실험, 현장조사 등 다각적인 방법으로 접근하였다. 그 결과 성토지반내 사석층의 침투는 Darcy 흐름으로 가정하고 유도한 해석모형에 의해 계산한 침윤선과 실내모형에서 실측한 침윤선을 서로 비교한 결과 $95\%(\alpha=0.05)$ 신뢰구간에서 유의성이 있었으며, 실내모형실험에서 구한 유속에 대한 레이놀즈 수가 10미만의 층류이고, 유속과 동수경사가 비례관계로 나타났다. OO 방조제를 대상으로 바닥사석층까지 보링을 하고 측정한 투수계수와 동수경사로부터 계산한 Darcian 유속에 대해서는 레이놀즈 수가 $1\~6$ 범위의 층류로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 성토지반에 매설되어 있는 사석층내의 침투는 층류의 Darcy 흐름일 가능성이 높다고 판단된다.

암석과는 달리 절리암반은 변형률 의존적 변형특성(탄성계수 및 감쇠비)을 나타낸다. 탄성파를 이용한 현장실험을 통해 미소변형률 수준에서 암반의 최대탄성계수를 얻을 수 있으며 이를 내진 설계에 반영하고 있으나, 미소 변형률 이상의 중변형률($10^{-4}{\sim}0.5%$) 영역의 동적거동에 대한 실험적인 규명과 이에 대한 수치적 적용은 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 변형률 의존적 전단탄성계수 및 감쇠비의 비선형 거동 특성을 반영하여 동적해석을 수행할 수 있는 FLAC3D 해석 모듈을 개발하였다. 리커 웨이브의 파동 변화를 분석하여 개발된 모듈에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 절리 암반의 탄성파 전파특성과 동적 거동특성을 모사할 수 있는 절리암반 공진주 시험장비를 통하여 현장에서 채취한 절리암반의 변형률 의존적 전단탄성 계수의 감쇠 특성과 감쇠비의 증폭 특성을 획득하였다. 개발된 비선형 해석 모듈에 실험으로부터 획득된 거동 특성을 반영하여 수직구와 사갱의 접속부에 대한 내진 안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 내진해석 결과, 비선형 해석이 선형 해석보다 더 큰 연직변위와 수평변위 결과를 나타냈다. 라이닝의 휨압축응력은 수직구과 사갱의 접속부에서 집중되는 것으로 나타났으며 비선형해석의 경우 라이닝에 더 큰 휨압축응력이 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 변형률 의존적 절리암반의 비선형 거동특성을 보다 깊이 있게 이해하고 해석 및 설계시 고려할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The thermomechanical characteristics of rocks such as temperature dependency of strength and deformation were experimentally investigated using Iksan granite, Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite for proper design and stability analysis of underground structures subjected to temperature changes. For the temperature below critical threshold temperature $T_c$, the variation of uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, Brazilian tensile strength and cohesion with temperature were slightly different for each rock type, but these mechanical properties decreased at the temperatures above $T_c$ by the effect of thermal cracking. Tensile strength was most affected by $T_c$, and uniaxial compressive strength was least affected by $T_c$. To the temperature of 20$0^{\circ}C$ with the confining prressure to 150 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, failure limit on principal stress plane and failure envelope on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane of Iksan granite were continuously lowered with increasing temperature but those of Cheonan tonalite and Chung-ju dolomite showed different characteristics depending on minor principal stress on principal stress plane and normal stress on $\sigma$-$\tau$ plane. The reason for this appeared to be the effect of rock characteristics and confining pressure. Young's modulus was also temperature and pressure dependent, but the variation of Young's modulus was about 10%, which was small compared to the variation of compressive strength. In general, Young's modulus increased with increasing confining pressure and increased or decreased with increasing temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$ depending on the rock type.

An inhomogeneous and anisotropic rock has different properties at different location. Thus, this refers to any of the properties which we may be measuring. There are two concepts of rock mass, namely, CHILE(Continuous, Homogeneous, Isotropic, Linear Elastic) material and DIANE(Discontinuous, Inhomogeneous, Anisotropic, Non-linear Elastic) rock. The former is essentially the properties of intact rock, the latter is essentially the properties governed by the structure of rock. In geotechnical aspect, the most important parameter is strength of rock or rock mass. In particular, characteristics of strength of rock mass depend upon the orientation of discontinuities And this orientation of discontinuities has different properties at different direction of excavation. Therefore, it needs for characterization of different properties of discontinuity orientation against different direction of excavation.

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.

Rock masses usually contain such features as bedding planes, faults, fissures, fractures, joints and other mechanical defects which, although formed from a wide range of geological processes, posses the common characteristics of low shear strength, negligible tensile strength and high fluid conductivity compared with the surrounding rock material. In the engineering context here, the discontinuities can be the single most important factor governing the deformability, strength and permeability of the rock mass. Moreover, a particularly large and persistent discontinuity could critically affect the stability of any surface or underground excavation. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop a thorough understanding of the geometrical, mechanical and hydrological properties of discontinuities and the way in which these will affect rock mechanics and hence rock engineering.

The Rock mass in which constructed a tunnel consist of the geological formations or the engineering rock type. Each layers are distinguished by the mineral, weathering and distributions of faults and Joints. Therefore, a tunneling design in rock mass starts from understanding and analyzing of the various geological engineering factors and then the engineering characteristics and distributions for each layers are determined to analysis and collection of the efficient informations. For this working, next two problems have to be solved. First, the layers in rock mass have to be classified and their distributions have to be defined. Second, the rock mass classifications and distributions based on the standard engineering classification have to be determined. Efficiently to approaching this two problems, the best solution is all geotechnical data are embodied to 3-D.

Safe underground construction in a rock mass requires adequate ground investigation and effective determination of rock conditions. The estimation of rock mass behavior is difficult, because rock masses are innately anisotropic and heterogeneous at different scales and are affected by various environmental factors. Quantitative rock mass classification systems, such as the Q-system and rock mass rating, are widely used for characterization and engineering design. The measurement of rock classification parameters is subjective and can vary among observers, resulting in questionable accuracy. Geophysical investigation methods, such as seismic surveys, have also been used for ground characterization. Torsional shear wave propagation characteristics in cylindrical rods are equal to that in an infinite media. A probabilistic quantitative relationship between the Q-value and shear wave velocity is thus investigated considering long-wavelength wave propagation in equivalent continuum jointed rock masses. Individual Q-system parameters are correlated with stress-dependent shear wave velocities in jointed rocks using experimental and numerical methods. The relationship between the Q-value and the shear wave velocity is normalized using a defined reference condition. This relationship is further improved using probabilistic analysis to remove unrealistic data and to suggest a range of Q-values for a given wave velocity. The proposed probabilistic Q-value estimation is then compared with field measurements and cross-hole seismic test data to verify its applicability.
