Rock Mechanics and rock engineering have relatively short historical era but their achievements shows quite outstanding results in Korea. The experts currently working increased up to about 1,200 which are 50 times more than the numbers of 30 years ago. The research trend tends to move from the so called conventional rock engineering fields to the new purpose-oriented parts. The conventional fields can be categorized as rock properties, blasting, excavation, support, classification, stress measurement and the new fields are joint and fracture, discontinuum analysis, THM analysis, fusion technology, etc. In the future, it can be prospected that rock engineering will contribute to finding solutions for oversea resources developments, establishing the technical infra for national land development, construction of HLW repository and undersea tunnels connecting neighbor countries, development of underground space below DMZ area and so on.
암반공학은 자원공학과 관련된 학문분야들 중 비교적 태동의 역사는 짧으나 그 기간에 비하여 볼 때 현격한 발전을 이룬 분야라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 우리나라 암반공학 분야의 전문 인력은 약 30여 년간 50배에 이르는 양적인 증가를 보여 2011년 현재 약 1,200 여명으로 추산되며, 연구 경향은 과거 광업과 관련된 분야 즉, 발파, 굴착, 지보, 암반 분류, 지압측정 등의 부분에서 절리와 균열 등에 관련된 절리거동 및 그와 관련된 지하유체 이동, THM 복합 해석기법, 연속 및 불연속체 암반 거동해석, 복합적 연구 분야의 생성 등 보다 전문화되고 구체적인 암반의 특성들을 규명하고자 하는 방향으로 나아가고 있다. 특히, 앞으로 암반공학은 해외자원의 자주개발을 위한 기술적 근간을 제공하고 국토개발을 위한 기술적 인프라를 구축하며 해결이 시급한 국가적 난제들, 즉 고준위 방사성폐기물의 처분, 국제적 교통로로서 초장대 해저터널의 건설, 통일을 대비한 DMZ 하부 지하공간의 개발, 여타 공학 분야들과의 복합적 기술개발 등을 해결하기 위한 연구와 기술 발전에 크게 기여할 것으로 전망한다.
