Abstract

The study area, Bonggil-ri, Gyeongju, SE Korea, is composed of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, and Tertiary igneous rocks and dykes. A research on fracture developing history and density distribution was carried out on well exposed Tertiary granites. The fractures developed in this area have the following sequence; NW-SE trending duo-tile shear bands (set a), NNW-SSE trending extensional fractures (set d), WNW-ESE trending extensional or normal fractures (set b), NE-SW trending right-lateral fractures (set c), WNW-ESE trending reverse fault reactivated from normal faults (set e) and NW-SE trending left-lateral faults reactivated from shear bands (set a) under brittle condition. According to the result of fracture density analysis, the fracture density in this area depends on rock property rather than rock age, and also higher fracture density is observed around fault damage zones. However, this high fracture density may also be related to the cooling process associated with dyke intrusion as well as rock types and fault movement. Regardless of the reason of the high fracture density, high fracture density itself contributes to fluid flow and migration of chemical elements.

연구지역인 경상북도 경주시 봉길리 지역은 백악기 퇴적암을 기반암으로 제3기의 화성암과 암맥들이 관입하여 분포한다. 이 지역에 대한 단열의 발달 특성을 이해하기 위하여 비교적 균질하고 신선한 제3기 화강암에 대한 격자분석을 통하여 단열발달사와 단열밀도 분포에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 단열군들은 북서-남동방향의 연성 전단띠 (set a) ${\to}$ 북북서-남남동 방향의 인장단열 (set d) ${\to}$ 서북서-동남동 방향의 인장 또는 정단층성 단열 (set b) ${\to}$ 북동-남서 방향의 우수향 주향이동성 단열 (set c) ${\to}$ 서북서-동남동 방향의 정단층이 재활성된 역단층성 단열 (set e)의 순서로 발달되었음이 인지되었으며, 북서-남동방향의 연성 전단띠 (set a)는 이후에 좌수향으로 취성의 재활성 운동을 겪었음을 보여 준다. 서로 다른 암상에 대한 단열 밀도분석 결과는 단열의 밀도가 암석의 생성시기보다는 암석의 물성에 더 강하게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 같은 암상에서의 단열밀도는 단층손상대에서 급격하게 증가함을 보여주었다. 또한 이러한 단열밀도의 변화는 암상의 차이와 관입접촉부를 따른 단층운동뿐만 아니라 암맥의 관입시의 냉각에 의한 절리의 형성에도 일부 원인이 있을 것으로 해석된다. 그러나 그 원인에 상관없이 이러한 단열의 증가는 유체의 유동에 좋은 통로의 역할을 하게 되어 이를 따른 유체의 유동뿐만 아니라 이에 포함된 원소의 이동에도 매우 중요한 기여를 할 것으로 생각된다.
