Abstract

Tunnelling in urban areas, it is essential to understand existing structure-tunnel interactive behavior. Serviced structures in the city are supported by pile foundation, since they are certainly effected due to tunnelling. In this research, thus, pile load distribution and ground behavior due to tunnelling below grouped pile were investigated using laboratory model test. Grouped pile foundations were considered as 2, 3 row pile and offsets (between pile tip and tunnel crown: 0.5D, 1.0D and 1.5D for generalization to tunnel diameter, D means tunnel diameter). Soil in the tank for laboratory model test was formed by loose sand (relative density: Dr = 30%) and strain gauges were attached to the pile inner shaft to estimate distribution of axial force. Also, settlements of grouped pile and adjacent ground surface depending on the offsets were measured by LVDT and dial gauge, respectively. Tunnelling-induced deformation of underground was measured by close range photogrammetric technique. Numerical analysis was conducted to analyze and compare with results from laboratory model test and close range photogrammetry. For expression of tunnel excavation, the concept of volume loss was applied in this study, it was 1.5%. As a result from this study, far offset, the smaller reduction of pile axial load and was appeared trend of settlement was similar among them. Particulary, ratio of pile load and settlement reduction were larger when the offset is from 0.5D to 1.0D than from 1.0D to 1.5D.

도심지에서의 터널굴착은 상부구조물과의 상호거동에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 도심지에 사용중인 대부분의 구조물은 말뚝기초로 상부의 하중을 지지하고 있어, 터널 굴착 시 반드시 영향을 받는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내모형시험을 통해 기존의 군말뚝 기초 하부 터널굴착에 따른 축력 분포와 지반의 거동을 분석하였다. 말뚝 기초는 2, 3 열 말뚝으로 가정되었으며, 말뚝 선단부와 터널 천단부의 이격거리는 터널직경에 대한 일반화를 위해 터널 직경(D) 대비 0.5D, 1.0D 그리고 1.5D로 고려되었다. 지반은 약 30%의 상대밀도(Dr)를 가지는 느슨한 사질토로 형성되었으며, 말뚝의 축력 분포를 측정하기 위해 말뚝에 변형률게이지(strain gauge)를 부착하였다. 또한, 이격거리에 따른 군말뚝의 침하와 인접지반의 침하를 변위센서(linear variable differential transformer; LVDT)와 다이얼게이지(dial gauge)를 통해 측정였으며, 터널굴착에 따른 지중의 변형을 근거리사진계측기법(close range photogrammetric technique)을 통해 측정하였다. 수치 해석을 통해 실내모형시험 및 근거리사진계측 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 체적손실율(volume loss; $V_L$) 개념을 이용하여 터널굴착을 모사하였으며, 1.5%로 적용되었다. 연구결과, 이격거리가 멀어질수록 말뚝의 축력감소는 작게 나타났으며, 침하량은 모두 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, 말뚝 선단부와 터널 천단부의 이격거리가 0.5D에서 1.0D로 증가할 때 축력과 침하량의 가장 큰 감소율이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다.
