Abstract

Recently, due to the expansion of urban infrastructure for the citizen convenience, the shield tunnel construction has increased considering the civil complaints minimization and construction stability. Most shield tunnels are designed based on the assumption of the undrained condition that underground water does not inflow, but they are operated in the field as drained tunnels with drainage facility to drain underground water. Therefore, the drained condition needs to be considered in the shield tunnel design. It is also necessary to consider the weathered granite soil that is widely distributed throughout the country and consequently is encountered in most of construction sites. In this paper, the model test which can control total stress and pore water pressure and simulate the underground tunnel located in the weathered granite soil below ground water level is conducted. Total stress, pore water pressure and an inflow water into an inner pipe were measured using the testing device. Test results showed that the total stress in a drained condition was lower than in an undrained condition because pore water pressure decreased in a drained condition and an inflow water into an inner pipe was proportional to the loading stress in a drained condition. As a result, if a drained condition is considered in the shield tunnel design, the more economical design can be expected because of the stress reduction of the lining.

최근 시민편의를 위한 도심지 사회기반시설의 확충으로 인하여 민원최소화와 시공안정성을 고려한 쉴드터널 시공이 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 쉴드터널은 지하수가 유입되지 않는 비배수조건으로 가정하여 설계되지만 현장에서는 배수시설을 설치하여 지하수를 배출하는 배수터널처럼 운영되므로 설계 시 배수조건이 고려될 필요가 있다. 또한 우리나라 전역에 넓게 분포하고 가장 많이 이용되는 화강풍화토 지반에 대한 고려도 필요하다. 본 논문은 배수 및 응력조건을 조절할 수 있고 지하수면 아래 화강풍화토 지반에 위치한 터널을 모사할 수 있는 실험장비를 이용하여 실험하였으며, 전응력, 간극수압 및 배수내관의 유입유량을 측정하였다. 실험결과 배수조건 시 간극수압 감소로 인하여 전응력이 비배수조건보다 작게 나타났고, 유입유량은 재하응력에 비례하였다. 결과적으로 쉴드터널 설계 시 배수조건이 고려된다면 라이닝 작용 응력이 감소되기 때문에 경제성 높은 설계가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
