The main risk factors of tunnel excavation through urban areas are ground settlement and surface sink which caused by ground conditions, excavation method, groundwater condition, excavation length, support method, etc. In the process of ground settlement assessment, the numerical analysis should be conducted considering the displacement and stress due to tunnel excavation. Therefore a technique that can simplify such process and easily evaluate the influence of tunnel excavation is needed. This study focused on the tunnelling-induced ground settlement which is main consideration of underground safety impact assessment. The parametric numerical analyses were performed considering such parameters as ground conditions, tunnel depth, and lateral distance from tunnel center line, etc. A simplified ground settlement evaluation chart was suggested by analyzing tendency of ground subsidence, lateral influence area and character by depth. The applicability of the suggested settlement evaluation chart was verified by comparative numerical analysis of settlement characteristics.

Geophysical exploration techniques are effective for monitoring changes in the ground condition around the excavation project to prevent subsidence risks during excavation work, therefore, improving analysis techniques is required for applying and supplementing various geophysical exploration technologies. In this study, a field-scale on-site test was conducted to detect possible ground subsidence hazards and areas of relaxation zone that may occur during excavation work and due to underground water level changes. In order to carry out the field test, a real-scale excavation test bed was constructed and the geophysical exploration methods, such as electrical resistivity survey and multi-channel analysis of surface wave (MASW) survey for urban sites condition, have researched for optimal geophysical exploration parameter, design and correlation analysis between the results by reviewing the validity of each individual geophysical exploration and modeling. The results of this study showed the impact of each geophysical exploration on the relaxation zone and, in particular, the location of the underground water surface and the effects of excavation were identified using electrical resistivity survey. Further research on modeling will be required, taking into account the effects of excavation and groundwater.

Ground subsidence risk ratings obtained from the site investigation during pre-excavation stages could be changed depending on the parameters revealed during construction activities. A method of correcting the pre-excavation ground subsidence risk ratings based on the site conditions observed in the field is suggested in this study. The elevation of groundwater table during the excavation may be different from the predicted value depending on the application of waterproofing methods and construction conditions. The drastic drawdown of groundwater table during the excavation could cause ground subsidence due to soil volume decrease related to consolidation or compression of the ground, whereas the rising of groundwater table caused by the intense rainfall may result in a high potential for ground subsidence due to heaving or boiling of the excavation bottom. Excessive displacements of retaining walls or ground settlements may cause ground subsidence, which also results in a high risk of ground subsidence caused by the destruction of buried pipelines. Reevaluation of ground subsidence risk ratings is suggested considering the fluctuation of groundwater table, condition of groundwater leakage, measured ground displacements, and soil types. Finally, the ground subsidence risk rating system is improved for better evaluation by using 12 factors in 5 categories.

The structure of the turnout track is very complex, so it is a facility that is more difficult to maintain and requires detailed management than a general track type. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect on the deformation of the turnout system of the ground section due to the excavation work adjacent to the serviced urban railways. In this study, based on finite element analysis for each stage of adjacent excavation, the track deformation for each major location of turnout system was analyzed in consideration of the layout of the turnout system installed on the ground section, and the safety and stability was confirmed by comparing it with the track irregularity regulation. As a result of the study, it was found that the major construction stage affecting the track deformation of the turnout system on the ground section was the final stage of excavation. In addition, although the vertical displacement which is a vertical irregularity occurred relatively large, it was analyzed that the horizontal deformation was dominant overall, because of the excavation site is located on the side of the turnout system. In addition, it was analyzed that the amount of displacement at each major location of the turnout system is different, and there is a possibility that there may be a twist irregularity due to the deviation of the track deformation for each location according to the distance from the excavation site. Therefore, it was analyzed that it is necessary to classify and manage the importance of the track deformation of the turnout system of actual operating line, including additional displacement due to adjacent excavation, based on the track irregularity that has occurred at each location where the major deformation characteristics occur.

사암 및 이암을 기반암으로 하는 산악지역에 건설되는 2-아치 (2-arch) 터널의 거동을 터널설계 단계에서 분석하기 위하여 대규모 실내 모형실험을 실시하였다. 터널이 시공될 예정인 지반과 유사한 지질공학적 특성을 가지는 콘크리트 블록을 이용하여 모형지반을 조성하였다. 모형실험은 중앙터널 (pilot tunnel) 굴착을 포함한 여러 단계의 굴착과정으로 구분하여 실시되었다. 또한 터널 .공용기간 중 터널의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 터널굴착 완료 후 상재하중을 작용시켰다. 실험결과에 의하면 대부분의 지반변위는 중앙터널 굴착에 의해 발생했으며, 그 이후 터널 굴착단계에서의 변위발생은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대부분의 지중변위는 0.25D 이내의 범위에서 발생하였다. 여기서 D 는 터널의 폭이다. 한편 실험결과를 분석하여 경암에 시공되는 2-아치 터널의 중앙벽체(centre pillar)에 작용하는 하중에 대한 경험적인 공식을 제시하였다. 터널시공 완료 후 공용기간 중 상재하중이 작용할 경우 그 크기에 따라서는 터널굴착에 의해 발생한 것보다 더 큰 지중변위가 발생할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널의 거동은 중앙벽체의 강성에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 이를 터널설계에 반영하여 중앙벽체의 강성을 증가시켰다. 현재 터널시공을 위한 사전작업이 진행 중에 있으며, 터널의 굴착은 2005년 하반기에 실시될 예정이다.

In this paper, in-situ technique for measuring hydraulic conductivity of Excavation Disturbed Zone (EDZ) in a direct way and its application to an Underground Research Laboratory (URL) site were introduced. It was understood that both the EDZ oriented test equipment as a hardware and analysis/evaluation technique as a software should be integrated for upgrading a quality of estimated EDZ hydraulic conductivity. The well-estimated EDZ hydraulic conductivity is expected to enhance a reliability of stability evaluation for caverns under groundwater table and design of a waterproof or drainage system as well as a grout system.

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.

The structural analysis such as rigid frame analysis has been used for the design of cut and cover tunnel due to its simplicity and convenience. This analysis, however, could not account for the geometrical factors such as interface elements, slope of excavation plane, distance between lining and excavation plane, etc. To develop the analysis technique and design technology for the cut and cover tunnel, in this study, the numerical analyses considering not only geometrical but geotechnical factors are conducted. Especially, the effects on the mechanical behaviors of cut and cover tunnel due to the slope of excavation plane and the distance between lining and excavation plane are mainly focused in this study.

This study examined the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on the support system in a jointed rock mass due to the different joint sets as well as varying the rock type and joint condition (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle). Based on a physical model test and its numerical simulation, a series of numerical parametric analyses were conducted using a discrete element method. The results showed that the induced earth pressure was affected significantly by a joint set depending on the inclusion of the joint inclination angle, which induces a joint sliding condition, but the number of joint sets alone was not important, even though the earth pressure could be increased slightly as the number of joint sets is increased. In addition, the study results were compared with Peck's earth pressure for soil ground, which indicated that the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass could be considerably different from that in soil ground. The study suggests that the effects of joint sets as well as rock type and joint condition are important factors affecting the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass and they should be considered when designing a support system in a jointed rock mass.
