Rock excavation (removal) tests are performed with effective parameters using an abrasive waterjet. For verification of the field rock excavation capabilities, the removal performance and level of efficiency are analyzed for hard granite rock in terms of the water pressure, exposure time of the jet, and the standoff distance. In particular, experimental tests are performed with a long standoff distance required condition in the real excavation field. The rock removal performance level changes according to the rock properties. In this study, various rock specimens are used and P-wave velocities are measured in order to determine the correlation between the removal performance and the P-wave velocity. As a result of the experimental study, the effect of waterjet parameters on rock removal is analyzed.

This study analyzed the relationship between major parameters and numerical analysis results according to various excavations conducted around the urban railway, application of machine learning techniques and verified the scope of influence of the adjacent excavation on the existing urban railway box structure and the appropriateness of the safety area. This study targeted the actual negotiated adjacent excavation works and box structures around the urban railway, and the analysis was conducted on the most representative two-line box structures. The analysis confirmed that the difference in depth of urban railway, excavation depth of adjacent excavation, and depth of underground water level are important parameters, and the difference in excavation depth of adjacent excavation is the parameter that affects the behavior of underground box structures and is an important requirement for setting safety areas. In particular, the deeper the depth of the adjacent excavation work, the greater the effect on the deflection of the underground box structure, and the horizontal separation distance, one of the important requirements for determining the management grade of the existing adjacent excavation work, is relatively small.

Tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements have been investigated by numerical parametric studies considering ground condition, excavation characteristics, and ground layers. Before the numerical study the existing methods of ground movement estimation have been collected and analysed to have some information of ground movements and to improve them providing a fundamental material for the numerical study. Numerical model simulation has been performed of a physical model test of tunnel excavation in which the ground movements were measured reliably and the results have been used to determine the numerical approach and the appropriate soil constitutive mode. With this procedure done, the results of numerical parametric studies have been put together to analyze and understand tunnelling-induced settlements and lateral ground movements.

This paper describes research on the prediction of the vertical displacement of surface, horizontal displacements and bending moments in two anchored retaining wall for an excavation by a finite element program. It is very important to consider the appropriate constitutive model for the numerical analysis in excavation behavior. It is shown in this paper that the analyses of excavation considering small strain stiffness gives the more reasonable prediction of the vertical displacement of surface. and the parametric study on the small strain stiffness parameters for excavation analysis has been analysed.

불연속면이 발달한 암반 내에서 터널을 굴착하는 경우 불연속면을 고려한 터널의 역학적 안정성을 검토하는 것이 중요하다. 불연속 암반 내에 터널을 굴착하게 되면 대부분의 거동은 불연속면에서 발생하게 된다. 이는 암반블록보다 암반 내 불연속면의 강성이 현저하게 작기 때문이다. 불연속면을 고려한 터널의 안정성 해석은 암반을 연속체로 가정할 때 필요한 입력변수 외에 여러 종류의 입력변수가 추가로 필요하다.(중략)

Waterjets for rocks have various advantages of the non-contact and eco-friendly excavation using only water and abrasive. To overcome the problems (e.g., dust and noise occurrence) of the conventional drilling methods, waterjet excavation methods are broadly used. It is advantageous to operate a couple of nozzles in order to increase the waterjet excavation efficiency. When multiple nozzles are used, it is essential to analyze the excavation performance and shape according to the nozzle operation method. In this study, nozzle angle, horizontal distance between nozzles, and standoff distance were defined as nozzle operating parameters and the excavation performance and shape were analyzed. As a result of the experiment, when the nozzle angle and standoff distance are increased, the excavation depth is decreased and the effective depth tends to be increased. In addition, based on the experimental results, the excavation shape criteria required for nozzle insertion were proposed and optimal nozzle operating parameters were derived according to the criteria. This study result is expected to be used as useful basic research in the future development of multiple waterjet nozzles for rock drilling.

A new rock excavation method using an abrasive injection waterjet system has been developed to enhance the efficiency and reduce the vibration of tunnel excavation. The abrasive feed rate is an important factor for the cutting performance and the economical efficiency of waterjet-based excavation. In this study, various experiments were performed to explore the effects of major process parameters for both the abrasive feed rate and the suction pressure occurring inside the mixing chamber when the abrasives are inhaled. Experimental results reveal that the abrasive feed rate is affected by geometry parameters (abrasive pipe height, length, and tortuosity), abrasive parameters (abrasive particle size), and jet energy parameters (water pressure and water flow rate). In addition, the relation between the cutting performance and the abrasive feed rate was discussed on the basis of the results of an experimental study. The cutting performance can be maximized when the abrasive feed rate is controlled appropriately via careful management of major process parameters.

This paper examined the effect of step-wise excavation depth on the earth pressure against an excavation wall in rock mass. Numerical parametric studies were conducted based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to carry out the problems in rock mass. Controlled parameters included step-wise excavation depth, rock types, and joint conditions (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle). The magnitude and distribution characteristics of the induced earth pressure in a jointed rock mass were investigated and compared with Peck's earth pressure for soil ground. The results showed that the earth pressure against an excavation wall in rock mass were highly affected by different rock and joint conditions, and the effect of step-wise excavation depth increased as a rock type is deteriorated more. In addition, it was found that the earth pressure against an excavation wall in rock mass might be considerably different from Peck's empirical earth pressure for soil ground.

본 연구에서는 유효응력 개념에 기초를 둔 응력-변형을 관계식을 이용하여 비배수 지하굴착 거등을 모댈하기 위한 수치해석적 방법이 개발된다. 비배수 조건 시 적용되는 체적불변형 조건은 조건방정식(Penalty formulation)의 혁태로 공극수압 변수를 이용하여 주어지며 결과되는 유한요소 방정식에 상닻히 른 물외 체적변형 개수를 부여함으로서 이루어진다. 이러한 형태와 조건식은 지하굴착 과정에서 발생되는 비배수 공극수압의 계산을 가능케 한다. 체적불변형 조건 부여 시 발생되는 mesh locking은 그 결과에 상당한 영향을 미치므로 이러한 mesh locking 문제는 T-방법에 근거를 둔 salective 적분방법월 적용함으로서 해결될 수 있다. 또한 흙의 거등을 모델하기 위하여 사용 된 Cam-Clay모텔과 Drucker-prager모텔에 새로운 implicit 웅력적분 방법을 적용함으로서 효율적인 방법으로 비선형거동을 해석할 수 있다. 개발된 지하 굴착 해석방법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 실재 현장에서 측정된 지하굴착 거동을 예제로 이용하였다.

This study investigates the response of structures to tunnelling-induced ground movements in clay ground, varying tunnel excavation condition (tunnel depth and diameter), tunnel construction condition (ground loss), and tunnel ground condition (soft clay and stiff clay). Four-story block-bearing structures have been used because the structures can easily be characterized of the extent of damages with crack size and distribution. Numerical parametric studies have been used to investigate of the response of structures to varying tunnelling conditions. Numerical analysis has been conducted using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The results of structure responses from various parametric studies have been integrated to consider tunnel excavation condition, tunnel construction condition, and tunnel ground condition and provide a relationship chart among them. Using the chart, the response of structures to tunnelling can easily be evaluated in practice in clay ground.
