Abstract

In this paper, the transmissivities obtained from the pulse test, the slug test and the constant head test were compared each other to assess an applicability and a reliability of the hydrogeological test method, which are commonly used to derive the hydrogeological properties of a crystalline rock at un underground research facility. When comparing the results of the pulse test and the slug test, the transmissivities were very similar in the entire test section of the medium. However, there was a little discrepancy in the results in the areas where the permeability is relatively high. The results of the constant head test on the same section showed the lower transmissivity than the results of the pulse test and the slug test on the highly permeable section. This difference in permeability was considered to be due to the difference in the radius of the hydraulic effect applied in each hydraulic test. When the heterogenetic distribution of fracture affects the hydrogeological properties on crystalline rock, it is believed that the hydrogeological characteristics can be explained through a constant head test or a constant flow rate test with a large hydraulic effective radius, as well as a pulse and a slug test that can identify hydrogeological properties in a relatively short time.

본 논문에서는 지하연구시설에서 결정질 암반의 수리지질특성을 도출하기 위해 일반적으로 수행하는 수리시험법의 적용 가능성 및 신뢰성을 평가할 목적으로, 펄스시험, 슬러그시험과 정압시험을 이용하여 각 시험 결과로부터 도출되는 투수량계수를 서로 비교해 보았다. 펄스시험과 슬러그시험의 결과를 비교해 볼 때, 매질의 투수성이 낮은 시험 구간에서는 투수량계수가 매우 유사하게 도출되었지만, 투수성이 비교적 큰 구간에서는 다소 차이를 보였다. 그리고 투수성이 큰 구간에서 정압시험 결과에 비해 순간수위변화시험의 결과가 다소 크게 나타났다. 이러한 투수성의 차이는 각 수리시험에서 적용되는 수리 영향 반경의 상이함에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 비록 각각의 현장수리시험에서 도출되는 결과가 매질의 투수성을 동일하게 반영한다고 할 수는 없지만, 단열의 불균질한 분포가 투수성에 영향을 주는 결정질 암반에서의 수리지질특성을 도출할 때 수리영향반경이 큰 정압시험이나 정률시험뿐만 아니라 비교적 빠른 시간에 수리지질특성을 파악할 수 있는 슬러그시험과 펄스시험을 통해서도 매질의 수리지질특성을 설명할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.
