Abstract

Monitoring technology based on electrical resistivity is widely used for non-destructive data collection and health analysis of underground structures and tunnels. Vulnerable sections such as fault zone generates many problems during construction of the tunnel. These problems cause displacement and stress changes of the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the state of the fault zone section to ensure the mechanical stability of the underground structure. Monitoring the size of joints and the porosity of the fillings is essential for rocks. Previous studies have not considered the variety of fillings in rock joints. In this study, electrical resistivity tests were conducted according to the particle mixing state of the sandy fillings. When the size of fillings is decreased at the constant porosity, the electrical resistivity tends to increase. The results of this study are expected to be useful as basic electrical resistivity data for predicting the ground conditions and evaluation of the ground behavior that is containing sandy fillings in the rock joint for tunnels.

전기비저항을 이용한 모니터링 기술은 비파괴적으로 데이터 수집이 가능하여, 터널 및 지하구조물의 건전도 평가를 목적으로 활발히 활용되고 있다. 터널 시공에서 단층파쇄대와 같은 취약 구간은 지반의 변위 발생 및 응력 변화 등의 문제를 일으킨다. 따라서 터널 구조물의 역학적 안정성 확보를 위해 단층파쇄대 구간의 절리 상태 예측이 필요하다. 절리의 크기 및 충진물의 공극률 모니터링은 암반의 절리 상태 예측을 위해 필수적이다. 하지만 기존 연구에서는 자연상태의 암반절리 내 입자 크기의 다양성을 고려하지 못한 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 암반절리 상태 충진물의 조립토 입자 혼합상태에 따른 전기비저항 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 동일한 공극률 조건에서 충진물의 크기가 작을수록 전기비저항 값이 증가하는 경향성을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 터널 구간 내 암반절리 내 조립토 충진물을 포함하고 있는 지반의 전방 예측 및 거동 평가를 위한 전기비저항 기초자료로 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
