Abstract

Umbrella arch method (UAM) used for improving the stability of the tunnel ground condition has been widely applied in the tunnel construction projects due to the advantage of obtaining both reinforcement and waterproof. The purpose of this study is to develop the evaluation technique of the integrity of bore-hole in UAM by using a non-destructive test and to evaluate the possibility of being applied to the field. In order to investigate the variations of frequency depending on grouted length, the specimens with different grouted ratios are made in the two constraint conditions (free boundary condition and embedded condition). The hammer impact reflection method in which excitation and reception occur simultaneously at the head of pipe was used. The guided waves generated by hitting a pipe with a hammer were reflected at the tip and returned to the head, and the signals were received by an acoustic emission (AE) sensor installed at the head. For the laboratory experiments, the specimens were prepared with different grouted ratios (25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100 %). In addition, field tests were performed for the application of the evaluation technique. Fast Fourier transform and wavelet transform were applied to analyze the measured waves. The experimental studies show that grouted ratio has little effects on the velocities of guided waves. Main frequencies of reflected waves tend to decrease with an increase in the grouted length in the time-frequency domain. This study suggests that the non-destructive tests using guided ultrasonic waves be effective to evaluate the bore-hole integrity of the UAM in the field.

강관보강다단 그라우팅은 터널공사에 널리 적용되는 공법으로, 터널지반의 안정성 증대 및 차수효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 유도초음파를 이용한 강관보강다단 그라우팅의 건전도 평가 기법을 제시하고, 현장 적용성을 평가하는 것이다. 강관의 그라우팅 충진률에 따른 주파수 변화를 파악하기 위해 실내실험 (자유구속조건 및 지중근입조건)을 수행하였으며, 건전도 평가시스템의 현장 적용성을 검증하기 위해 현장실험을 수행하였다. 강관의 두부를 해머로 타격하여 유도초음파가 발생되며, 발생된 유도초음파는 선단에서 반사되어 두부로 되돌아 온다. 반사된 유도초음파는 두부에 설치된 AE센서에 의해 수신된다. 강관보강다단 그라우팅의 건전도 평가 모델은 충진률 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100 %로 제작되었으며, 자유구속조건 및 지중근입조건의 실내실험으로 수행되었다. 신호처리를 위해 고속 푸리에 변환과 웨이브렛 변환을 수행하였다. 실내실험 결과, 유도초음파의 전파속도 변화는 크지 않았으나, 그라우팅 충진률에 따른 주 주파수의 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 강관보강다단 그라우팅의 충진률이 증가할수록 반사파의 주 주파수의 크기가 감소했다. 현장실험은 이미 설치된 강관보강다단 그라우팅에 대해 수행되었으며, 실내실험과 동일한 기법으로 분석하였다. 현장 조건의 실험체에서도 유도초음파의 반사파를 쉽게 수집할 수 있었으며, 이에 대한 주파수 영역에 대한 분석도 가능했다. 본 연구의 결과는 유도초음파를 이용한 주파수 분석 기법은 강관보강다단 그라우팅 건전도 평가에 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.
