Abstract

Recently, the need for research on vertical shaft excavation is increasing with the increase of the demands for the underground and utility tunnels. As a part of the R&D project of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, CUT (center for utility tunnel) has developed "Ring cut method". "Ring cut method" is a method to improve the stability of the ground against the basal heave by excavator wall pre-penetration during vertical shaft excavation. In this study, the basal heave was simulated by centrifugal model test. The basal heave, ground subsidence, and ground deformation of surrounding ground were analyzed by soil plug effect from wall pre-penetration. It was found that the soil plug could control the basal heaving and ground subsidence, and verified that the 'Ring cut method' could be a good countermeasure for the ground stability against the basal heave.

최근 공동구 및 지하터널의 수요증가와 함께 수직구 굴착에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 공동구 연구단은 국토교통부 연구개발사업의 일환으로 '수직구 외주면 선행 굴착공법 및 장비'를 개발하였으며 현재 성능 검증 중에 있다. '수직구 외주면 선행 굴착공법'은 수직구 굴착 시 굴착면의 외주면을 먼저 굴착하고 굴착기 벽체를 관입시켜 연약지반의 히빙에 대한 지반의 안정성을 확보하는 공법이다. 이 연구에서는 원심모형실험을 통해 히빙을 모사하고 관내토의 유무에 따른 지반면의 히빙과 지반침하, 그리고 주변지반의 거동을 비교, 분석하였다. 분석 결과 관내토가 지반침하와 히빙의 발생을 충분히 억제하는 효과를 나타내는 것으로 파악되었으며, 수직구 외주면 선행 굴착공법이 히빙에 대한 지반의 안정성을 충분히 확보함을 확인할 수 있었다.
