A study on structural performance of steel brackets in vertical shaft connected to double-deck tunnel

복층터널 연결 수직구용 철재브래킷 구조성능 연구

Abstract

Since the double-deck tunnel is deeply constructed in the city, it is necessary to secure the installation space of air supply and exhaust, escape passage stairs, elevator, distribution facilities and connection tunnels in the vertical shaft for the double-deck tunnel. Also, in order to minimize the effect of construction on adjacent area, it is necessary to construct the concrete structures at high speed in vertical shaft after tunnel excavation. Therefore, the slabs and the stairs in vertical shaft are needed to be constructed using precast concrete, and the rapid construction techniques of bracket for supporting the inner precast structure are needed. The bracket installation methods include cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete and steel. In this study, the improvement of the steel brackets with good economical efficiency and good workability was carried out in consideration of the improvement of the construction speed. We have developed a new bracket that is optimized through bracket shape improvement, anchor bolt position adjustment and quantity optimization. As a result of the structural performance test, it was confirmed that the required load supporting capacity was secured. As a result of structural performance test for bar type anchor bolt and bent anchor anchor bolt, it was confirmed that the required load carrying capacity was secured and that the load bearing capacity of bent anchor bolt was large.

복층터널은 도심지에서 대심도로 시공되는 특성이 있으므로 복층터널용 수직구는 급기 및 배기구, 대피통로 계단, 엘리베이터, 배전시설, 접속터널 등의 설치공간의 확보가 필요하다. 또한 복층터널용 수직구는 도심지에 시공되는 특성상 공사영향 최소화를 위하여 터널굴착 완료 후 수직구 내부 콘크리트 구조물의 급속시공이 필요하다. 따라서 수직구 내부 슬래브 및 계단용 콘크리트 시공의 프리캐스트화가 필요하며 이러한 수직구 내부 프리캐스트 구조물 지지를 위한 브래킷의 급속시공기술이 필요하다. 브래킷 형태 사례조사 결과 현장타설 방식, 프리캐스트 방식, 철재브래킷 방식 등이 있는데 본 연구에서는 시공속도 향상을 고려하여 경제성이 양호하고 시공성이 우수한 철재브래킷을 개선한 새로운 브래킷에 대하여, 직선형 매립 앵커볼트와 꺾임형 매립 앵커볼트에 대한 구조성능시험결과 소요하중 지지능력을 확보하는 것을 확인하였고 꺾임형 매립 앵커볼트의 하중지지능력이 보다 큰 것을 확인하였다.
