Abstract

Calculating the distribution of stresses and displacements around a circular tunnel excavated in infinite isotropic rock mass subjected to hydrostatic stress condition is one of the basic problems in rock engineering. While closed-form solutions for the distribution are known if rock masses are considered as elastic, perfectly plastic, or brittle-plastic media, a few numerically approximated solutions based on various simplifying assumptions have been reported for strain-softening rock mass. In this study, a simple numerical method is introduced for the analysis of strain-softening behavior of the circular tunnel in Mohr-Coulomb rock mass. The method can also applied to the analysis of the tunnel in brittle-plastic or perfectly plastic media. For the brittle-plastic case where closed-formsolution exists, the performance of the present method is verified by showing an excellent agreement between two solutions. In order to demonstrate the strain-softening behaviors predicted by the proposed method. a parameter study for a softening index is given and the construction of ground reaction curves is carried out. The importance of defining the characteristics of dilation in plastic analysis is discussed through analyzing the displacements near the surface of tunnel.

정수압 상태의 등방 무한 매질에 원형 터널이 굴착될 때 터널 주변부에서 발생되는 응력 및 변위 분포를 해석하는 것은 암반공학의 가장 기본적인 문제들 중의 하나이다. 암반을 탄성, 완전소성, 취성-소성 거동체로 가정한 경우 응력 및 변위 분포에 대한 정해가 알려져 있다. 그러나 변형률연화를 가정한 경우는 정해가 존재하지 않으며 여러 가지 가정에 기초한 수치해석적 근사해들이 보고되고 있을 뿐이다. 이 연구에서는 Mohr-Coulomb 암반을 대상으로 이러한 원형 터널의 변형률연화 거동을 간단하게 해석할 수 있는 수치해석 방법을 소개하였다. 이 방법은 변형률연화 거동 뿐만아니라 취성-소성 및 완전소성 거동의 해석에도 적용이 가능하다 정해가 알려진 취성-소성 거동의 검증을 통하여 제안된 모델의 정확성을 입증하였다. 변형률연화 거동해석 예로서 연화지수에 대한 매개변수 해석을 실시하였고 지반반응곡선을 작성하였다. 탄소성 해석시 터널 주변의 변위 분포 특성은 소성영역의 체적팽창성에 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.
