Abstract

An Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ), in which rock properties are permanently changed due to blasting impact or stress redistribution, can influence the behavior and stability of structures. In this study, the mechanical stability of an underground opening was simulated by using FLAC, which is a two-dimensional modeling code, with a consideration of EDZ. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out with fractional factorial design. From the modeling, it was found that the behavior and the stability of an underground tunnel are strongly dependent on the existence of the EDZ. The sensitivity analysis showed that the key parameters affecting the factor of safety around the tunnel are in-situ stress ratio, depth, cohesion, reduction ratio, internal friction angle, and height and width of the tunnel. It is necessary to consider the EDZ, which can significantly affect mechanical stability in tunnel design.

발파충격 또는 응력재분배에 의해 발생하는 암반손상대(Excavation Damaged Zone, EDZ)는 암반의 여러 물성들을 변화시킴으로써 구조물의 거동과 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 EDZ를 고려한 터널에 대한 2차원 연속체 해석 코드인 FLAC을 이용하여 역학적 안정성을 해석하고 안정성에 관련된 인자들을 대상으로 부분요인설계법(Fractional Factorial Design)을 이용한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 모델링 결과 터널 주변의 거동과 안전율은 손상대 유 무에 따라 많은 차이가 있었다. 민감도 분석 결과 터널주변의 안전율에 많은 영향을 미치는 인자는 측압계수와 심도, 점착력, 물성 감소비, 터널의 폭, 내부 마찰각, 터널의 높이 순이었다. EDZ는 터널 주변의 역학적 안전성에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 터널 설계 시 고려하는 것이 필요하다.
