Abstract

Laboratory tests of accelerated artificial weathering compared the effects of seawater and acidified distilled water on rock weathering. The experiments simulated chemical and physical weathering of five different types of volcanic rock by applying 45 freeze-thaw cycles using seawater and acidified distilled water (pH 3), both at 70°C. The physical properties and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the rocks were measured after 15 and 45 cycles of artificial weathering. Most of degradation of physical properties appeared within the first 15 cycles, and acidified distilled water had a greater effect than seawater. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistically evaluated the differences in UCS of the different rock types during the tests. The rate of UCS reduction after 45 cycles was similar across the samples, being independent of the rock type and the trend of changes in physical properties. In contrast to the changes in the physical properties, the UCS was more affected by seawater than by acidified distilled water.

본 연구에서는 해수와 산성증류수가 암석 풍화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 실내인공풍화가속실험을 수행하였다. 70°C의 해수와 산성증류수(pH 3)를 이용하여 총 45회의 동결-융해 실험을 통하여 5종의 유천층군 화산암에 대하여 화학적 ‧ 물리적 풍화를 모사하였다. 실내인공풍화가속실험 15회와 45회에 각각 물리적 물성과 일축압축강도를 측정하여 풍화 진행에 따른 물성 변화를 추적한 결과, 물리적 물성의 열화는 대부분은 초기 15회 실험에서 발현되었으며, 산성증류수가 해수보다 물리적 물성 변화에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 실내인공풍화가속실험에 따른 암종별 일축압축강도의 차이를 통계적으로 평가하기 위하여 분산분석법을 사용하였다. 45회 실험 이후의 대조군에 대한 실험군 시료의 일축압축강도의 감소율은 암종과 물리적 물성 변화 추이와 상관없이 유사하게 나타났지만, 물리적 물성 변화와는 달리, 산성증류수보다 해수가 일축압축강도 변화에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다.
