Due to the increasing number of deteriorated bridges worldwide, the importance of maintenance and replacement of existing bridges are being emphasized. Cast-in-place concrete deck which is mainly applied to deck replacement of existing bridges have problems such as deterioration concerns by initial crack, labor cost increase, difficulties of maintenance and replacement, construction time increase, and indirect cost increase by traffic congestion. On the contrary, a precast concrete deck is considered as an effective alternative because of its quality assurance and accelerated construction. The connection method ensuring the required strength and durability is especially important, because the connection part of the precast concrete deck is vulnerable to cracks and leakage. Therefore, this study proposes precast bridge decks with ribbed connection which are more improved than existing bridge deck joints, and flexural performance is verified through various parameter tests.

Ballast track requires constant maintenance work due to progress of track irregularity. Fast Hardening Track(FHT) has been developed to reduce the maintenance effort done by injecting fast hardening mortar in aged ballast to convert slab track. For the application of FHT to a railway bridge, post-installed anchors should be placed at center of the track segment to fix it on bridge. This paper presents track-bridge interaction analysis results with FHT considering stiffness and strength of post-installed anchor, age of FHT concrete and friction between FHT and bridge deck surface. Based on the analysis results, this study suggests when is good to install the anchors and allow normal operation of passing train.

도로 및 철도는 차량의 고속화와 신속한 물류의 유통을 위해 직선 및 수평화가 절실하게 요구되며, 국내 건설구간의 약 50~70%가 산악지형으로서 터널공사가 필수적으로 요구된다. 국내터널굴착은 주로 발파에 의한 NATM(New Austrian Tunneling Method)으로 공사가 이루어지고 있으나, 굴착효율이 낮으며 안전사고의 위험성이 높다. 해외에서는 급속한 시공을 위하여 TBM(Tunnel Boring Machine)의 적용 사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 국내에는 TBM에 대한 연구가 전무한 상태이고, TBM 터널의 설계 시공 기술과 경험이 미흡하다. 최근 대도시의 지하터널과 장대터널의 수요가 증대되어 TBM터널시공 기술과 TBM장비의 국산화가 절실하게 요구되고 있다. 본고에서는 국내외 주요 TBM 시공현황과 전망을 정리하여 TBM 터널 기술의 확보가 매우 시급함을 상기시키고자 하였다.

본 터널 붕락 사례 연구를 종합적으로 분석해 볼때, 시공 공정 중에 발생 가능한 붕괴 및 붕락은 앞서와 같이 과거의 여러 사례들을 토대로 분석함으로서 예측 할 수 있지만, 시공 외적인 요인에 대해서는 사실상 조사, 설계, 시공 중의 오류에 의해 발생되는 것이기 때문에 파악하기 어렵다. 본 터널 붕락사례를 통해 원인을 분석 정리 하면 다음과 같다. (1) 불규칙한 지반구조적 원인 대부분의 터널 붕락을 일으키는 불규칙한 지반구조는 과거 지반구조의 침식 또는 대규모 지반운동 등 지반구조의 급속한 변화에 기인한 것이다. 터널 시공전에 면밀한 사전 지반조사와 선진 보오링 등으로 정확한 지반구조를 파악한다면 이로 인한 터널 붕락은 최소화 시킬수 있다. (2) 기획과 설계단계에서의 오류 충분치 못한 지반조사에 의한 설계 및 부적절한 시공자재 사용등으로 터널 붕락이 발생 될수 있다. 터널 굴착 주변 지반조건과 이러한 지반조건에 적합한 터널 굴착 및 보강공법 등이 터널 설계시 심도있게 검토되어야 할 가장 중요한 요소이다. (3) 시공 및 관리에서의 오류 경험이 부족한 터널기술자의 현장 감독과 현장에서 수집되는 각종 계측자료의 신뢰성 부족과 결과의 재적용 미흡으로 효율적인 계측 및 지반정보를 활용한 정밀 시공이 이루어지지 않는 것도 터널 붕락의 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다. (4) 현장관리 조사서의 표준화 부족 터널굴착공사중 붕락이 발생된 현장의 막장조사결과를 보면 조사자가 임의로 표시를 하여 각 터널별 막장조사결과가 매우 상이할 뿐만 아니라 각 터널별로 기재방법, 양식이 달라서 실제 원인분석에 활용하기가 어려운 것으로 분석되었다.

Since the modem reinforced soil wall technology was introduced in domestic civil engineering society in the year 1980, the reinforced soil walls have been extensively used because these technologies have advantages such as economical efficiency, graceful appearance, and easy construction. This paper describes the application of reinforced soil wall, design criteria, and construction problems. Many cases of troubles, which include a severe deformation of facing, cracks of facing block, overall sliding failure and so on, have been reported. Inappropriate design and construction management mainly induce these problems. The technological level of design and quantity control for reinforced soil wall is not sufficiently supported to cope with the growth quantity of reinforced soil wall construction market and the increasing number of construction companies. The unified standard design and construction criteria of reinforced soil wall should be established with the detail consideration of overall performance and stability. The quality control of design and construction, and cost of construction must be seriously executed to construct a high quality of reinforced soil wall.

Traffic jams occur frequently due to the dense populations of cities. Accordingly, the discomfort of citizens has increased. In order to minimize traffic inconveniences, various public transportation facilities have been suggested. In this paper, for the economical construction of a near-surface railway system, the design of a trench shield is developed and a review of its applicability is done by creating and testing trench shield equipment on a small scale. The trench shield consists of an excavation part, a shield part and an advancement part. To examine the applicability of the trench shield, a laboratory test is carried out. The results of the laboratory test confirm the possibility of reducing the construction time at open-cut construction sites through the excavation of the trench shield. Although the laboratory test is an indoor and relatively small-scale experiment, it is considered to be possible to secure a construction speed of 3m/day when the trench shield equipment is used.

쉴드터널 공법은 도시의 지하철도, 상ㆍ하수도, 전기ㆍ통신 등을 설치하기 위한 터널 건설 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 일본은 1960년경부터 도시의 근대화를 추진하면서 infrastructure를 정비하였으며 이에 따라 쉴드터널 공법의 적용이 급속히 증대하였다. 도시의 지하에 터널을 건설함에 있어 가장 중요한 것은 기존 도시구조물에 대한 영향을 최소로 줄여서 도시기능을 보전하는데 있다.(중략)

Excavation support systems are the temporary earth retaining structures that can prevent the lateral movement of soils. The systems are initially performed before other construction operations and have a great impact on the entire construction period. The temporary support system in Korea have been carried out generally along with installing supports, which are struts, tiebacks, and rakers. However, most of existing support systems in application relatively have limitations such as cost increase, construction configuration, and displacement occurred with support systems. Thus, a new retaining support system (referred to as the SSR, New Construction Technology No. 533) was developed to solve the aforementioned problems. This study introduces the design, construction, and maintenance of the SSR system under the different construction conditions. The behavior and characteristics of the SSR system were identified based on the case studies.

In this study, NATM can reduce the loosened ground near the tunnel face more than the other pre-existing tunnelling methods, because of rapid supporting by means of shotcrete and rock bolts. However, this method sometimes can not help for a unstable tunnel face with a unsupported caondition. In order to keep from that dangerous case, some excavation methods such as bench cut and drift advancing method are introduced, despite of high construction cost and period. So, this thesis is intended to introduce the new tunnel face shape, that is concave shaped face, and discusses its effects on the tunnel stabilization.

In this study we developed an integrated precast concrete decks for a rapid construction. The structural performance in the integrated precast bridge decks is evaluated by real-scale test bed and detailed finite element analyses. The numerical analysis results were compared with the experimental data from a real-scaled single-span precast/prestressed concrete bridge decks under truck loading. Parametric studies are focused on the various effects of external loads on the structural behavior for different locations and measuring points on the precast bridge decks. The assessment in this study indicates that the integrated precast bridge decks show an excellent structural performance as expected.
