Abstract

Rock grouting is important to improve the waterproof efficiency and mechanical strength of rock medium with joint for utilizing the underground rock space such as tunnel. The grouting materials typically has been used the cement materials, which represent Bingham fluid model. This model can express the relationship of viscosity and yield strength. In addition, it is dependent with elapsed time. The grouting injection performance can be deteriorated with an increase of viscosity and yield strength in the grouting process if the time dependence is ignored. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of viscosity and yield strength were investigated according to water-cement ratio and time dependence in the laboratory test. Numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the grouting performance according to the time dependence of characteristics in terms of the viscosity model. Given the results, the grouting injected distance and cumulative grout volume were significantly decreased when the time dependence of grouting material was considered. This study, considering the characteristics according to the time dependence of viscosity and yield strength, will be meaningful to the design of grouting injection in field applications.

터널과 같은 지하 공간을 활용하는 경우, 암반 그라우팅 공법을 통하여 암반의 차수 및 강도특성을 향상시켜 지하공간을 안전하게 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 암반 절리 내 그라우팅을 위한 주입재는 주로 Bingham 유체에 해당하는 시멘트계열의 재료를 활용하는 것이 일반적이다. Bingham 유체 모델은 점성도와 항복강도의 특성으로 표현되며, 이러한 특성은 시간 경과에 따라 달라지게 된다. 만약 시멘트 주입재료의 시간 경과에 따른 특성을 고려하지 않고 그라우팅 주입설계를 실시하는 경우, 그라우팅 과정에서 주입재의 점성도 및 항복강도의 증가에 따라 주입성능이 저하될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 그라우팅 주입재료의 물-시멘트 배합비율, 시간 경과에 따른 점성특성(점성도, 항복강도) 측정 및 분석 실내실험을 실시하였다. 실내실험을 통하여 파악한 점성모델을 이용하여 그라우팅 주입재의 시간의존 특성에 따른 그라우팅 주입 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 해석결과, 시간의존 특성을 고려하는 경우 단일 점성특성을 적용한 해석에 비하여 그라우팅 주입거리 및 누적 주입량이 감소하여 주입성능이 큰 폭으로 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구를 통하여 파악된 그라우팅 주입재의 시간 경과에 따른 점성모델 및 해석결과는 향후 그라우팅 주입 현장에서 의미있게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
