Abstract

Predicting and measuring tunnel convergence is very crucial for estimating tunnel stability and economical construction of NATM tunnels. The method to estimate the tunnel convergence that occurs before and after construction is proposed based on literature reviews. The total displacement occurring related to tunnel construction is determined to be about 2.5 times that of measured displacements. The results of displacement measurements at two tunnels constructed with similar rock types are examined for the investigation of factors affecting the tunnel convergence. The average convergence of Gyungju A Tunnel is about 6.7 times bigger than that of Daejeon B Tunnel. The possible causes of the large convergence in Gyungju A Tunnel are suggested. In order to predict the convergence of tunnels, careful investigation of the geological structures in the ground surface and the influence of external conditions as well as careful face mapping of the tunnel face should be conducted.

터널의 안정성 평가와 경제적인 NATM 시공을 위해서는 터널의 내공변위에 대한 예측과 계측이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 계측 결과를 활용하여 굴착 전과 굴착 후에 지반에서 발생하는 변위를 추정하는 방법을 문헌조사를 통하여 제시하였다. 일반적으로 터널 건설과 관련하여 지반에서 발생하는 전체 변위량은 계측 변위값의 약 2.5배 정도일 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 암반등급이 유사한 화강암 지반에 건설된 두 터널에서의 현장 계측 결과를 분석하여 내공변위에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하였다. 경주 A터널이 대전 B터널보다 변위량이 6.7배 더 크게 측정되었으며 이에 대한 원인이 제시되었다. 터널 내공변위를 예측하기 위해서는 터널 내부에서의 굴착면의 막장관찰뿐만 아니라 지표면에서의 지질구조 특성과 터널에 응력을 증가시킬 외부적인 요인에 대한 면밀한 검토가 수반되어야 한다.
