Abstract

Embedded joints in the rock mass are a major constituent influencing its mechanical behavior. Numerical analysis requires a rigorous modeling methodology for the rock mass with detailed information regarding joint properties, orientation, spacing, and persistence. This paper provides a mechanical model for a jointed rock mass based on the implicit joint-continuum approach. Stiffness tensors for rock mass are evaluated for an assemblage of intact rock separated by sets of joint planes. It is a linear summation of compliance of each joint sets and intact rock in the serial stiffness system. In the application example, kinematic analysis for a planar failure of rock slope is comparable with empirical daylight envelope and its lateral limits. Since the developed implicit joint-continuity model is formulated on a continuum basis, it will be a major tool for the numerical simulations adopting published plenteous thermal-hydro-chemical experimental results.

암반내의 절리는 암반의 전체적인 역학적 거동에 중요한 역할을 한다. 암반에 대한 수치해석은 절리면의 역학적 물성, 방향성, 간격 그리고 연속성을 정교하게 모델링할수 있어야 한다. 본 논문의 내재적 절리-연속체 접근법은 절리군을 포함한 암반의 역학적 모델을 제시한다. 암반에 대한 강성 텐서는 온전한 암석과 절리군의 역학적 특성으로부터 산정하였다. 이는 온전한 암석과 절리군에 대한 연속적 강성 시스템의 컴플라이언스 텐서 합으로부터 산정할 수 있다. 암반사면의 평면파괴에 대한 수치해석은 기존의 daylight envelope과 측면한계를 적용하는 경험적인 방법과 상당히 일치함을 확인하였다. 개발된 내재적 절리-연속체 모델은 연속체 기반으로 수식화되어 기존의 절리에 대한 열-수리-화학적 실험적 결과들을 실제 수치해석에 적용할수 있을 것이다.
