Abstract

During tunnel excavation in urban area a systematic monitoring is important for the purpose of determination of support type and quantity, as well as for the control of stability of both surface structures and the tunnel itself due to the frequently, and in many cases, abruptly changing ground condition. In Austria absolute displacement monitoring methods have replaced relative displacement measurements by geodetic methods to a large extent. Prompt detection of weak ground ahead of the tunnel face as well as better adjustment of excavation and support to the geotechnical conditions is possible with the help of the improved methods of data evaluation on sites. Deformation response of the ground to excavation starts ahead of the tunnel face, therefore, the deformation and state of the tunnel advance core is the key factor of the whole deformation process after excavation. In other words, the rigidity and state of the advance core play a determining role in the stability of both surface structures and the tunnel itself. This paper presents the results from detailed three-dimensional numerical studies, exploring vertical displacements, vector orientations and extrusions on tunnel face during the progressive advancement for the shallow tunnel in various geotechnical conditions.

터널시공 중, 터널자체의 안정성 확보와 주변지반 및 인접 구조물의 안정성 확보를 위한 체계화된 계측관리는 매우 중요한 사항이라고 할 수 있는데, 지반조건이 불리한 도심지 터널공사나 지반조건이 급격하고 빈번하게 변화하는 경우에 있어서는 그 중요성이 더욱 증대되는 것이 사실이다. 최근 오스트리아에서는, 임의 시점에 대한 절대변위를 계측하고 분석하는 기존의 방법 대신, Geodetic을 이용한 각 시공단계별 상대변위의 계측 및 분석방법이 널리 증가하고 있는데, 이를 통해 지반조건의 급격한 변화 예측 및 이에 상응하는 굴착방법과 지보방식의 변경등이 용이해지고 있다. 한편, 지반의 변위는 막장 굴착이 시공되기 이전부터 발행하기 시작하므로 막장 전방의 응력상태는 향후 변위 진행과정에 있어 매우 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 즉, 막장 전방의 강성이나 응력상태는 굴착 후의 장기적인 터널안정성 및 인접 구조물의 안정성 확보와 관련된 주요 변수라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 관련된 다양한 조건에 대한 3차원 변위해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 통해 터널 굴착시의 수직변위 및 벡터회전, 막장면 변위 등의 변화를 살펴보았다.
