Abstract

If a tunnel is excavated, the released stress is redistributed in the ground around the tunnel face, which lead the stress state of the surrounding ground of the tunnel and the load acting on the tunnel support to change. If the tunnel face deforms, the ground ahead of it is relaxed, and the earth pressure acting on it decreases. And if the displacement increases so much that, the ground ahead of the tunnel face reaches in failure state. At this time, load would be transferred longitudinally in the tunnel, depending on the cover and the face deformations. The longitudinal load transfers in the tunnels induced by the tunnelling has been often studied; however, the relation between the deformation of the tunnel face and the longitudinal load transfer was rarely studied. Therefore in this study assesses the characteristics of the longitudinal load transfer as the face was failed by displacement by conducting a model test in a shallow tunnel. In other words, the longitudinal load transfer of the tunnel with the progress of the face deform was measured by conducting a model test, beginning at the state of earth pressure at rest. As results of this study, most of the longitudinal load transfers occurred drastically at the beginning of the displacement of the tunnel face, and as the displacement of the face approached the ultimate displacement, it converged to the ultimate displacement at a gentler slope. In other words, when the ground ahead of the tunnel face was still in an elastic state, the longitudinally transferred load increased sharply at the beginning stage but it tended to increase gradually if it approached to the ultimate limit. Thus, it was noted that the earth pressure in the face and the longitudinal load transfer of the tunnel had the same decreasing tendency.

터널을 굴착하면 굴진면 주변지반은 응력이 해방되고, 해방된 응력이 주변지반으로 재분배 되어 터널주변지반의 응력상태와 터널지보공에 작용하는 하중이 변한다. 굴진면에 변위가 발생하면 굴진면 전방지반이 이완되고 굴진면에 작용하는 토압은 감소하며, 변위가 일정한 크기 이상 커지면 굴진면 전방지반이 파괴상태에 이른다. 이때에 터널의 종방향으로 하중전이가 발생하며, 토피고나 굴진면의 변위정도에 따라 그 경향이 다르다. 굴진면 파괴에 따른 터널 종방향 하중전이에 대해서는 연구된 사례가 있으나, 굴진면 변위와 종방향 하중전이를 결부시켜서 연구한 사례는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토사터널에서 모형실험을 수행하여 굴진면이 과다변위로 인해 파괴됨에 따른 종방향 하중전이의 특성을 파악하였다. 즉, 정지토압 상태에서 시작하여 굴진면의 변위가 진행됨에 따른 터널 종방향 하중전이를 모형실험을 수행하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 종방향 하중전이는 굴진면 변위 초기에 대부분이 발생하고 굴진면 변위가 한계변위에 근접할수록 완만한 기울기로 한계치에 수렴하였다. 즉, 종방향 하중전이는 굴진면 전방지반이 아직 탄성상태일 때 급격히 증가하였고, 지반이 한계상태에 근접하면 완만하게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 굴진면에서 변위에 의한 토압감소와 터널 종방향 하중전이는 같은 추세로 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
