Abstract

Various TBM performance prediction models have been developed and most of them were considered penetration rate only. Despite the fact that some models have suggested equations and charts for estimating the utilization factor, but there are a few studies to estimate the TBM utilization factor. Utilization factor is affected by the type of TBM machine, operation, maintenance of machine, geological conditions, contractor experience and other factors. In this study, more than 100 case studies are analyzed to determine the relationship between the utilization factor and RMR, geological conditions, TBM types, tunnel length, and TBM diameter. Simple and multiple linear regression analysis are performed to develop predictive models for the utilization factor. The predictive model with explanatory variables of geological conditions, TBM types, tunnel length, and TBM diameter does not give a good correlation. The predictive models with explanatory variable of RMR give higher values of the coefficient of determination.

다양한 TBM 성능 예측 모델이 개발되었기만 대부분 관입율 예측에 한정되어 있다. 일부 모델들이 수식과 그래프를 이용하여 TBM 가동율을 추정하는 방법을 제시하기도 하지만, TBM 가동율에 대한 연구는 매우 드문 편이다. TBM 가동율은 TBM 장비의 종류, 운영, 유지보수, 지질 조건, 시공자의 경험 등에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 100여개 이상의 사례 분석을 통해서 TBM 가동율과 RMR, 암종 등의 지반 조건, TBM의 종류, 터널의 연장 및 직경 등과의 관계를 조사하였다. 단순 및 다중 회귀분석을 수행하여 TBM 가동율 예측모델을 개발하였다. 암종 등의 지반조건, TBM의 종류, 터널의 연장 및 직경 등을 설명 변수로 갖는 회귀모델은 낮은 상관계수를 나타내었다. RMR을 설명변수로 갖는 회귀모델이 더 높은 상관계수를 나타내었다.
