Abstract

The characteristics of the rock cleavage inherent in Jurassic granite from Geochang were analysed. The phases of distribution of microcrack spacings were derived from the enlarged photomicrographs(${\times}6.7$) of the thin section. The evaluation for the six directions of rock cleavages was performed using nine parameters such as (1) frequency of microcrack spacing(N), (2) frequency ratio(${\leq}1mm$ and 4 mm >) to total spacing frequency(N:191), (3) spacing ratio(${\leq}1mm$) to total spacing(118.49 mm), (4) mean spacing($S_{mean}$), (5) difference value($S_{mean}-S_{median}$) between mean spacing and median spacing($S_{median}$), (6) density of spacing, (7) median spacing, (8) reduction ratio of spacing frequency to length frequency and (9) magnitude of exponent(${\lambda}$ and b) related to the distribution type of diagram. Especially the close dependence between the above spacing parameters and the parameters from the spacing-cumulative frequency diagrams was derived. The results of correlation analysis between the values of parameters for three rock cleavages and those for three planes are as follows. The values of (I) parameters(1, 2 and 3), (II) parameters(4, 5 and 6), (III) parameter(7), (IV) parameter(8) and (V) parameter(9) show the various orders of H(hardway, H1+H2) < G(grain, G1+G2) < R(rift, R1+R2), R < G < H, R < H < G, G < H < R and H < G < R, respectively. On the contrary, the values of the above four groups(I~IV) of parameters for three planes show reverse orders. This type of correlation analysis is useful for discriminating three quarrying planes. Six spacing-cumulative frequency diagrams were arranged in increasing order on the value of main parameter($S_{mean}-S_{median}$). These diagrams show an order of R2 < R1 < G2 < G1 < H2 < H1 from the related chart. In other words, the above six diagrams can be summarized in order of rift(R1+R2) < grain(G1+G2) < hardway(H1+H2). These results indicate a relative magnitude of rock cleavage related to microcrack spacing. Especially, the above main parameter could provide advanced information for prediction the order of arrangement among the diagrams.

거창지역의 쥬라기 화강암에 내재하는 결의 특성을 분석하였다. 미세균열의 간격에 대한 분포상은 박편의 확대사진(${\times}6.7$)에서 도출하였다. 여섯 방향의 결에 대한 평가는 (1) 미세균열의 간격의 빈도수(N), (2) 총 간격의 빈도수(N:191) 대비 빈도율(${\leq}1mm$ 및 4 mm >), (3) 총 간격(118.49 mm) 대비 간격율(${\leq}1mm$), (4) 평균 간격($S_{mean}$), (5) 평균 간격과 중앙 간격($S_{median}$) 사이의 차이값($S_{mean}-S_{median}$), (6) 간격의 밀도, (7) 중앙 간격, (8) 길이의 빈도수 대비 간격의 빈도수의 감소비율 및 (9) 도표의 분포형과 관련된 지수(${\lambda}$ and b)의 크기와 같은 9개의 파라미터를 이용하여 수행하였다. 특히 상기 간격의 파라미터 그리고 간격-누적빈도 도표에서 도출한 파라미터 사이의 밀접한 상관성을 도출하였다. 3개 결 그리고 3개 면에 대한 파라미터의 값 사이의 상관성 분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. (I) 파라미터(1, 2 및 3), (II) 파라미터(4, 5 및 6), (III) 파라미터(7), (IV) 파라미터(8) 및 (V) 파라미터(9)의 값은 H(3번 결, H1+H2) < G(2번 결, G1+G2) < R(1번 결, R1+R2), R < G < H, R < H < G, G < H < R 및 H < G < R의 다양한 순서를 각각 보여준다. 반면에 3개 면에 대한 상기 4개 그룹(I~IV)의 파라미터의 값은 역순을 보여준다. 이러한 유형의 상관성 분석은 3개 채석면의 판별에 유용하다. 여섯 간격-누적빈도 도표를 주요 파라미터($S_{mean}-S_{median}$)의 값이 증가하는 순으로 배열하였다. 이들 도표들은 관계도에서 R2 < R1 < G2 < G1 < H2 < H1의 순을 보여준다. 즉, 상기 여섯 도표는 1번 결(R1+R2) < 2번 결(G1+G2) < 3번 결(H1+H2)의 순으로 요약될 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 미세균열의 간격과 관련된 결의 상대적인 강도를 지시한다. 특히 상기 주요 파라미터는 도표 사이의 배열 순서의 예측에 대한 사전 정보를 제공할 수 있다.
