The compression wave produced when a high-speed train enters a tunnel propagates along the tunnel ahead of the train. The micro pressure wave related to the compression wave is a special physics phenomena created by high-speed train-tunnel interfaces. A among methods for the purpose of reducing the micro pressure wave is to delay the gradient of the compression wave by using aerodynamic structures. The objective of this paper is to determine the optimum slanted portal using the moving model rig. According to the results, the maximum value of micro pressure wave is reduced by 19.2% for the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portal installed at the entrance of the tunnel and reduced by 41.9% for the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portals at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. Also it is reduced by 34.6% for the $30^{\circ}$ slanted portals installed at the entrance and exit of the tunnel.

터널 설계에 있어 갱구부의 위치 및 갱문형식의 선정은 터널 및 갱구사면의 안정성뿐만 아니라, 주위환경과의 조화 및 자연환경 훼손 최소화 등과 같은 환경적인 측면에서도 매우 중요한 부분이다. 현행 국내의 경우 경제성과 시공성 위주의 갱구부 위치 선정으로 과다 절취구간이 발생되어 환경훼손, 민원문제 발생, 과다한 용지 매입비용 등의 여러 가지 부작용이 발생되고 있다. 또한, 갱문 형식의 선정에 있어서 갱구부의 지형여건 및 제반 환경적 영향을 고려하지 않고 원통절개형과 면벽식 갱문의 획일적인 적용으로 주변지형과의 부조화를 이루는 사례가 다수 발생하고 있으며, 갱구부 상단의 유실된 토석이 완충공간의 부족으로 도로 노면상에 낙하되는 사고가 발생하고 있어 그에 대한 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 보완하기 위해 갱구부 절취구간 최소화를 위한 구체적인 최소토피고 기준을 마련하였으며, 갱구상단 지형경사의 완급, 갱문주위의 배수기능, 낙석${\cdot}$산사태 등의 발생가능성 등을 고려한 새로운 갱문형식을 제안하고 체계적인 검토를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 점차 강화되는 환경보호정책 방향에 부응하고 자연환경 훼손을 최소화하며, 특히 해빙기와 집중호우시 낙석${\cdot}$눈사태로부터 도로의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 터널 갱문부 설계기준을 제시하였다. 또한, 실제 고속도로 터널의 설계 적용사례를 통하여 본 설계기준의 적용성을 분석하였으며, 실제 갱문 시공사례를 소개하여 향후 설계 및 시공에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

Recently, planning road construction in South Korea is focused on upgrading of the existing road by rerouting or restructuring. For this, roads under current construction in Korea go for more straight in its alignments and routing. Straight routing makes it all the more required to construct many mountain tunnels and bridges in Korea where mountains are so widely spread. Some portal of mountain tunnel is not rarely planed at high steep slope of mountain valley where it is not easy to secure working space for tunnel excavation. Reverse excavation is an alternative measure for excavation of tunnel portal at high steep slope. Construction in reverse excavation method has three important points requiring careful consideration: 1)planning of pilot tunnel in proper width, height, and length etc., 2)measure against the effect of one-side earth pressure to the direction of tunnel portal, 3)securing tunnel safety against shallow ground condition at portal zone. This paper intends to suggest applicable range of pilot tunnel for reverse excavation at the portal zone located at high steep slope, and shows result of study on the appropriateness of a reverse excavation by means of 3D numerical analysis. Result of 3D numerical analysis for reverse excavation at high steep slope shows that pilot tunneling will be applicable to start from the point $20{\sim}25m$ before the portal from inside the tunnel.

Recently, the number of tunnels on national roads has been increased due to the trend that construction of the large-scaled cut slopes is limited because of the environmental issues. Therefore, the slope failures of tunnel portal have often occurred. The tunnel portal in use has limitations on selection of the countermeasure and construction against slope failure. In the cases of Suanbo hot springs 1 and 2 tunnel portals, seedding was chosen and constructed as the countermeasureof slope failure when the tunnel was first built but collapsed in April, 2002. In this study, the failure sites were examined accurately through the site investigation and an efficient countermeasure according to stability analysis is presented. It is shown that it is very efficient to use resloping for Suanbo hot springs 1 tunnel and concrete buttress, rock anchor to reinforcement countermeasure, and attached rockfall prevention net by dividing the site into 3 sections for Suanbo hot springs 2 tunnel.

Purpose of this paper is to investigate the hood configuration at a tunnel entrance to reduce the micro pressure wave that is generated according to train speed. Two configurations were examined for the tunnel of 0.5 km in length. The experimental results show that a slit cover hood installed at the entrance of the tunnel reduces the maximum micro pressure wave by 41.2%, and the configuration with a slit cover hood installed at the entrance and the $45^{\circ}$ slanted portal at the exit of the tunnel suppress the pressure wave by 47.7%.

In this study, the slope stability analysis and the landslide hazard assessment in tunnel portal slope were carried out. First, we selected highly vulnerable areas to slope failure using the slope stability analysis and analyzed the slope failure scale. According to analyses results, high vulnerable area to slope failure is located at 485~495 m above sea level. The slope is stable in a dry condition, while it becomes unstable in rainfall condition. The analysis results of slope failure scale show that the depth of slope failure is maximum 2.1 m and the length of slope failure is 18.6 m toward the dip direction of slope. Second, we developed a 3-D simulation program to analyze characteristics of runout behavior of debris flow. The developed program was applied to highly vulnerable areas to slope failure. The result of 3-D simulation shows that debris flow moves toward the central part of the valley with the movement direction of landslide from the upper part to the lower part of the slope. 3-D simulation shows that debris flow moves down to the bottom of mountain slope with a speed of 7.74 m/s and may make damage to the tunnel portal directly after 10 seconds from slope failure.
