The underground construction and mining are facing many geomechanics challenges stemming from, geological complexities and stress-driven rock mass degradation processes. Brittle failing rock at depth poses unique problems as stress-driven failure processes often dominate the tunnel behaviour. Such failure processes can lead to shallow unravelling or strainbursting modes of instability that cause difficult conditions for tunnel contractors. This keynote address focuses on the challenge of anticipating the actual behaviour of brittle rocks in laboratory testing, for empirical rock mass strength estimation, and by back-analysis of field observations. This paper summarizes lessons learned during the construction of deep Alpine tunnels and highlights implications that are of practical importance with respect to constructability. It builds on a recent presentation made at the $1^{st}$ Southern Hemisphere International Rock Mechanics Symposium held in Perth, Australia, in September this year, and includes results from recent developments.

The longest tunnel has been halted at Daekwanryung by the failure of the host country of the Winter Olympiad in 2014, but modern High-Power TBM will come to Korea to excavate these long tunnels to establish the better horizontal connection between the western and eastern countries to improve the strong powerful logistic strategy of Korean peninsula. Train operation provides a key function of air movements in a long underground tunnel, and heat generation from transit vehicles may account of the most heat release to the ventilation and emergency systems. This paper indicates the optimal fire suppress services and safety provision for the long railway tunnel which is designed twin tunnel with length 22km in Gangwon province of Korea. The design of the fire-fighting systems and emergency were prepared by the operation of the famous long-railway tunnels as well as the severe lessons from the real fires in domestic and overseas experiences. Designers should concentrate the optimal solution for passenger's safety at the emergency state when tunnel fires, train crush accidents, derailment, and etc. The optimal fire-extinguishing facilities for long railway tunnels are presented for better safety of the comfortable operation in this hard rock tunnel of eastern mountains side of Korea. Since year 1900, hard rock tunnel construction has been launched for railway tunnels in Korea, tunnels have been built for various purposes not only for infrastructure tunnels including roadway, railway, subway, and but also for water and power supply, for deposit food, waste, and oils etc. Most favorable railway tunnel system was discussed in details; twin tunnels, distance of cross passage, ventilation systems, for the comfortable train operations in the future.

Currently an increasing number of urban tunnels with small overburden are excavated according to the principle of the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). For rational management of tunnels from planning to construction and maintenance stages, prediction, control and monitoring of displacements of and around the tunnel have to be performed with high accuracy. Computational method tools, such as finite element method, have been and are indispensable tool for tunnel engineers for many years. It is, however, a commonly acknowledged fact that determination of input parameters, especially material properties exhibiting nonlinear stress-strain relationship, is not an easy task even for an experienced engineer. Use and application of the acquired tunnel information is important for prediction accuracy and improvement of tunnel behavior on construction. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is a form of artificial intelligence that attempts to mimic behavior of human brain and nervous system. The main objective of this paper is to perform the deformation analysis in NATM tunnel by means of numerical simulation and artificial neural network (ANN) with field database. Developed ANN model can achieve a high level of prediction accuracy.

An efficient mine management system demand constant attention of mine managers on the key performance indicators like production targets, equipment status, condition of haul roads, safety etc.. There is a wealth of information generated during day to day working of the mine. The success of a mining enterprise is a function of reliability of accumulated information and decision making on the basis of such information. In the present paper a computerized mine operations management system developed for a large opencast mine making use of the potential benefits of geographical information systems, real time kinematic global positioning systems and a communication network to improve the overall efficiency of the mine is presented.

철도터널에서의 화재사고는 도로터널에 비하여 사고발생률은 낮지만, 일단 터널내에서 화재사고가 발생하면 대형 참사로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 특히, 고속철도터널은 일반철도터널에 비하여 선형 등의 제약조건으로 인한 터널의 장대화로 터널내 화재사고 발생시 대피승객의 이동거리가 증대될 수 있다. 터널내 화재사고 발생시 승객의 대피안전성을 증대시키고자 국토해양부에서는 "철도시설안전기준에 관한 규칙(2005년 10월 27일)"과 "철도시설 안전세부기준(2006년 9월 22일)"을 고시, 연장 1km 이상의 모든 신규터널에 대하여 안전성분석을 수행하여 방재계획을 수립토록 하였으며, 이후 모든 철도터널 설계시에 정량적 위험도 분석(Quantitative Risk Analysis)에 의한 안전성 분석을 수행하고 있다. 그러나, 정량적 위험도 분석에 필수적인 사고시나리오, 화재강도, 사고빈도 추출, 분기비 등에 대한 세부 기준이 아직 미비하여 철도터널방재설계에 어려움이 있어 기존 법규의 요구사항을 우선 만족시키고, 추가로 안전을 향상시키기는 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 호남고속철도 터널방재설계를 위한 정량적 위험도 분석 세부기준 수립 및 실행가능한 합리적인 수준의 터널방재설계 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Airflow distributions along tunnel and over the cross section are critical in selecting installation location of the velocity monitor to obtain the representative data for ventilation as well as fire safety systems. This paper aims at performing CFD and on-site studies to analyze the longitudinal and cross-sectional distributions of the air velocity in tunnels employing longitudinal and semi-transversal ventilation systems. This study can ultimately contribute to selecting the monitor type as well as the optimal installation locations in vehicle tunnel.

본 논문은 1차로 마제형 터널에서의 지반과 지보재의 상호 거동을 규명하기 위한 연구로서 터널의 주지보재인 숏크리트의 균열, 파괴하중 및 변형하는 거동양상을 실물크기의 터널모형실험을 통해 확인하였다. 이때 실험은 측압계수를 0.5, 1.0, 2.0으로 설정하여 각각 측압계수에 따른 결과를 확인하였다. 또한 실제 실험과 같은 조건을 설정한3차원 수치해석을 실시하여 각각의 결과를 비교 검증하였다. 터널모형 실험은 측압조건을 설정할 수 있도록 11개의 실린더를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 3차원 수치해석 모델링은 터널모형실험과 가능하면 같은 조건으로 해석하기 위하여 모형실험으로부터 로드셀 및 LVDT를 통해 얻은 하중-변위곡선이 수치해석 시에도 재현되도록 하였다.
