Abstract

화강암(풍화), 석회암, 사암, 응회암, 셰일, 현무암 등 6가지 국내 암석을 대상으로 동결-융해에 의한 암석의 풍화과정을 실험하였다. 동결-융해 시 온도범위는 <TEX>$-20^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$</TEX>로 최대 40회까지 동결-융해를 반복하면서 비중, 공극률, 탄성파 속도, 쇼어경도를 측정하였다. 동결-융해 횟수가 증가함에 따라 공극률이 큰 화강암(w), 셰일, 현무암의 경우 기존의 균열이 성장하는 것이 뚜렷이 관찰되었고 시험편이 상하부로 분리되기도 하였다. 비중의 변화는 뚜렷이 관찰되지 않았다. 화강암(w), 셰일, 현무암의 탄성파 속도와 쇼어경도 값은 동결-융해에 의해 크게 감소하였고 석회암, 사암, 응회암의 경우 그 변화폭이 작았다. 공극률의 경우 인장강도가 작은 화강암(w), 셰일, 현무암이 크게 증가하였고 나머지 암종은 거의 변화하지 않았다. 실험 결과를 이용하여 선형 회귀식을 도출하였고, 각 회귀식의 계수와 동결-융해 풍화 민감도(=초기 공극률/초기 인장강도)와의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 이를 이용하여 암석의 초기 물성 값만으로도 동결-융해에 의한 풍화를 예측 가능할 것으로 판단된다. Changes in rock properties due to freezing and thawing cycles ranging from <TEX>$-20^{\circ}C$</TEX> to <TEX>$10^{\circ}C$</TEX> were checked for the typical Korean rocks: granite (weathered), limestone, sandstone, tuff, shale and basalt. The porosity, seismic velocity, shore hardness and specific gravity were measured every 10 cycles for each type of rock up to 40 cycles. The specific gravity was rarely changed. Granite (w), shale and basalt decreased gradually in their shore hardness and seismic velocity values, these values for limestone, sandstone and tuff changed only a very little. The porosity increased in the granite (w), shale and basalt, whereas in the others it did not change. Due to the low tensile strength with high porosity, granite (w), shale and basalt were susceptible to the F-T cycles. A linear regression equation was calculated based on the experiment results according to properties and types of rock. The relationship between the freeze-thaw sensitivity (=initial porosity/initial tensile strength) and the coefficients of the regression equation was examined. With additional experimental data, the coefficients of the regression equation can be estimated using the F-T sensitivity. This makes it possible to predict the properties of rock as affected by freeze-thaw weathering by only measuring the initial properties without knowledge of the regression equation coefficients for each type of rock.
