Abstract

Since about 70 percent of the territory is mountainous, more tunnels are constructed in Korea for maximizing the development efficiency. With the increasing number of tunnel construction, safe construction in tunnels has been emerged as the utmost important subject. Recently, the number of long tunnel construction is steeply increased because of the request for high speed and straight road. In this study, a safe tunneling method using numerical modeling of rock blocks in long tunnels is proposed, and then applied to the long tunnel based on real discontinuity information observed in situ. It is possible to detect key blocks all along the tunnel exactly by using the numerical analysis program developed for the safe tunneling method using numerical modeling of rock blocks. This computer simulation method with user-friendly interfaces can calculate not only the stability of rock blocks but also the design of supplementary supports.

국토의 70%이상이 산악 지형인 우리나라에서는 지형적인 특성으로 터널 건설이 중요하며, 터널 건설의 증가로 안전한 터널 건설이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 최근, 도로의 고속화와 직선화로 인해 장대터널 건설이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 장대터널에서의 암반 블록의 수치 모델링을 이용한 터널 안전 시공법을 제안하고, 현장에서 관찰한 불연속면 정보를 근거로 하여 실제 장대터널에 적용했다. 실제 터널현장에 있어서, 암반 블록의 수치 모델링을 이용한 터널 안전 시공법을 위해서 새롭게 개발한 수치해석 프로그램을 사용하여 정확한 키블럭 추출이 가능한 것을 검증하였다. 사용하기 쉬운 사용자 인터페이스를 가지고 있는 본 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기법은 암반 블럭의 안정성 계산뿐만 아니라 추가 보강대책공의 설계도 가능하다.
