Abstract

Tunnel construction is a complex three dimensional operation. Since, however, it is neither possible nor useful to simulate all conditions and parameters in detail, a simplified two dimensional model is commonly employed in practice. The simulation of three dimensional conditions by a two dimensional model should use empirical parameters. The numerical predictions indicate that analysis results are highly dependent on the parameters. An improved modelling method based on time was adopted to account for three dimensional effect at the tunnel heading and time dependent nature, and used to perform an analysis of tunnelling in decomposed granite. The effects of weathering degree, tunnel shape and multi-drift excavation were investigated by using the method. It is identified that a structural benefit can be obtained by adopting a horse-shoe-shaped cross section with multi-drift excavation in mixed-force ground condition.

터널의 막장부근에서는 하중전이가 복잡한 3차원적 거동특성을 나타낸다. 일반적으로 3차원 해석은 입력자료의 준비 및 결과 해석에 많은 노력을 요하며, 비선형 압밀해석을 수행하는 경우 컴퓨터 계산수요가 커지는 문제 때문에 실제설계는 2차원 해석법을 주로 사용하게 된다. 3차원적인 터널거동을 2차원적으로 모델링하기 위하여는 터널 굴진과정을 수치해석적으로 표현하기 위한 경험 파라미터가 요구되며, 해석결과는 이 파라미터 값에 따라 크게 변화하는 특성을 나타낸다. 특히 이 값의 평가는 주로 주관적이고 경험적인 판단에 의존하게 되므로 임의성이 커 해석의 신뢰성 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 특히 지반거동이 간극수 등 시간의존성 요인에 의해 영향을 받는 경우 이 파라미터를 평가하기는 더욱 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 제안된 Time-based 2-D Modeling Method를 사용하여 지하수위가 높은 풍화화강토내 터널굴착 문제에 적용하였고 이를 분할 굴착에도 적용 가능하도록 확장하였다. 해석결과는 실측결과와 잘 일치하는 거동을 보였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 복합막장터널의 거동특성을 조사한 결과, 마제형 터널단면의 역학적 유익성이 확인되었다.
