Abstract

The shield TBM method is widely adopted for tunneling works in urban area because it has more beneficial ways to control settlement at ground surface than conventional mined tunneling. In the shield tunneling, backfill grouting at tail void is crucial because it is supposed not only to restraint ground deformation around tail void during excavation but also to compensate precedent ground settlement by pushing up the ground with highly pressurized grout. However, the tail void grouting has been found to be ineffective for settlement compensation particularly in sandy ground, which might be caused by complicate interaction between ground and tail void grouting. In this paper, the effects of tail void grouting on behavior of ground in shield TBM tunneling were investigated based on 3-dimensional finite element analyses. The results of numerical analyses indicated that backfill grouting actually reduces settlement by degrading settlement increasing rate in excavation, which means decrease of volume loss. Meanwhile, the grouting could not contribute to compensate the precedent settlement, because reduction of volume loss by grouting was found to be counterbalanced by volume change of ground.

쉴드 TBM 공법은 터널의 변형을 최소화할 수 있는 공법으로 도심지 얕은 터널 공사에 적합한 공법이다. 하지만 이러한 쉴드 TBM 공법의 장점에도 불구하고 침하가 발생하며, 토피가 낮은 지반에서 쉴드 TBM 굴진 중 침하에 대한 대책은 여전히 주요 쟁점사항 중 하나로 남아있다. 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 테일 보이드는 불가피하게 발생하는 공간으로 테일 보이드의 변형은 침하의 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 테일 보이드의 변형은 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통해 제어되며, 이를 통해 침하를 억제하거나 회복시킬 수 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 하지만 실제 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통한 침하 회복은 기대하기 어려우며 특히 사질토에서 두드러진다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅과 사질토 지반 사이의 상호작용에 기인한 것으로 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석을 통해 사질토 지반에서 뒤채움 그라우팅이 지반거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 해석결과, 뒤채움 그라우팅은 침하증가율을 감소시켜 쉴드 TBM 굴진으로 인하 침하를 감소시키나, 그라우팅 이전에 발생한 침하를 회복시키지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅으로 인해 감소된 체적손실의 지표침하 감소 효과를 지반 내 체적변형이 상쇄하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.
