Abstract
Bonding strength of shotcrete is a significant influential factor which plays the role of collapse prevention of tunnel crown and of debonding prevention of shotcrete induced by the blasting vibration. Thus, the evaluation of the shotcrete bonding state is one of the core components for shotcrete quality control. In this study, the peak particle velocities induced by blasting were measured on the shotcrete in a tunnel construction site and its effect on the bonding state of shotcrete is investigated. Drilling and blasting technique was used for the excavation of intersection tunnel connecting the main tunnel with the service tunnel. Blast-induced vibrations were monitored at some points of the main tunnel and the service tunnel. The shotcrete bonding state was evaluated by using impact-echo test coupled with the time-frequency domain analysis which is called short-time Fourier transformation. Analysis results of blast-induced vibrations and the time-frequency domain impact-echo signals showed that the blasting condition applied to the excavation of intersection tunnel hardly affects on the tunnel shotcrete bonding state. The general blasting practice in Korea was evaluated to have a minor negative impact on shotcrete quality.
숏크리트의 부착강도는 천정부의 낙반방지와 발파진동에 의한 숏크리트 탈락방지에 중요한 역할을 하는 요소이다. 따라서, 숏크리트의 부착상태평가는 품질관리의 주요 요소가 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 터널 내 발파에 의하여 숏크리트에 미치는 최대 입자속도를 예측하고, 발파 진동에 의한 숏크리트의 부착상태를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 현재 시공중인 터널현장에서 피난연락갱의 발파시 본선부 및 서비스 터널의 발파진동을 측정하였으며 충격반향시험을 수행하여 숏크리트-암반의 부착상태를 평가하였다. 충격반향시험 신호분석을 위하여 시간-주파수 영역 해석 기법을 도입하였으며 평가결과, 국내에서 일반적으로 시행되는 발파조건에서는 숏크리트와 암반의 부착력 손실(들뜸 현상)은 거의 발견되지 않았으며, 숏크리트 부착력 손상 가능성은 낮은 것으로 판단되었다.
