ABSTRAK

Kekasaran permukaan amat mempengaruh tingkah-laku ricihan dan nilai sudut geseran puncak sesuatu satah ketakselanjaran. Oleh yang demikian, kekasaran permukaan merupakan faktor yang penting yang perlu dinilai dalam menentukan kestabilan struktur pengorekan dalam jasad batuan. Beberapa kaedah boleh digunakan untuk menentukan kekasaran permukaan ketakselanjaran. Kertas ini memperkenalkan satu pendekatan yang mudah dalam bentuk dua rumus polinominal yang boleh digunakan untuk mengkorelasi sudut geseran puncak ketakselanjaran (φp) batuan syis segar dan terluluhawa sedikit dengan pekali kekasaran kekar, PKK. Rumus polinominal ini ialah φp= -0.022PKK2 + 3.21PKK + 28.1 untuk ketakselanjaran segar dan φp= -0.025PKK2 + 3.24PKK + 26.6 untuk ketakselanjaran terluluhawa sedikit. Kedua-dua rumus ini memperlihatkan nilai pekali penentuan, R2 = 0.98. Hasil kajian ini menawarkan satu kaedah alternatif penganggaran φp satah ketakselanjaran daripada nilai PKK yang diukur pada permukaan ketakselanjaran di lapangan.

ABSTRACT

Shear behavior and value of peak friction angle of a discontinuity plane is strongly controlled by its surface roughness. As such, surface roughness is an important factor to be evaluated in determining the stability of structures excavated in rock body. Several approaches can be adopted for the determination of surface roughness of discontinuities. This paper presents a simple approach, in the form of two polynominal equations to correlate the peak friction angle (φp) with the Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) for discontinuity plane in fresh and slightly weathered schists. The polynomial equations are φp= -0.022JRC2 + 3.21JRC + 28.1 for fresh discontinuities and φp= -0.025JRC2 + 3.24JRC + 26.6 for slightly weathered discontinuity. Both equations exhibited coefficient of determination R2= 0.98. These results offer an alternative method to estimate φp of discontinuity planes by measuring the JRC values of the discontinuity planes in the field.
