Abstract

After studying the characteristics of three different evaluation methods of rock load; namely theoretical method, empirical method and numerical method, there were too many limitations for them to be applied on tunnels. Therefore, in this research paper, the method based on numerical analysis is selected to use as this method is the most reasonable one since it considers all parameters that are necessary for rock load estimations, and it also considers the interaction between ground and tunnel support. The critical shear strain concept formulated by Sakurai (1981) was used in order to measure exact rock load values based on numerical analysis. Evaluation on a Level 1 rock load height, which is depicted by the stable region in the graph shows that rock load is not affecting between ground grade 1~3, and it was evaluated that the fourth and fifth grades show less values of rock load height which led to the conclusion of a more economical design of concrete lining.

터널의 지반이완하중 산정방법에는 이론식, 경험식, 수치해석적인 방법 등이 있는데 이론식과 경험식은 실무에 적용하기에는 많은 한계점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 그 중에서 수치해석적 방법이 지반이완하중 산정에 필요한 모든 매개변수를 고려할 수 있고, 지반과 지보재의 상호작용을 모사할 수 있기 때문에 보다 합리적인 방법이라 판단하였다. 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 명확한 지반이완영역을 결정하기 위하여 Sakurai(1981)의 한계전단변형률 개념을 이용하였다. Stable region의 경계영역인 Level 1의 지반이 완하중고를 산정한 결과 지반등급 3까지는 지반이완하중이 산정되지 않았고, 지반등급 4, 5에서는 기존 산정방법들에 비해 지반이완하중고가 작게 산정되어 보다 경제적인 콘크리트라이닝 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단하였다.
