Face mapping during tunnel construction is useful and critical to predict the characteristics and stability condition of following tunneling sections and to select optimum support pattern. Therefore, a detailed geological survey of the tunnel faces, as important as a routine underground survey and a RMR evaluation, should provide critical information of the tunnel face condition in terms of the engineering geological condition and the safety of working environment for the following tunneling section. But the results of the face investigation have not been applied satisfactorily during tunneling due to limitation of technique, experience and time. This study analyze problems of face mapping in tunnel construction site by using statistical results of face mapping sheets obtained from completed tunnels, and suggest several opinions to improve face mapping during tunnel construction.

홍콩 HMRT(Hongkong Mass Railway Tunnel) 지하철 공사현장에서는 터널굴착시 나타난 고경사절리로 인해 상당한 여굴이 발생하였다. 이에 대한 원인을 규명하기 위하여 각 터널별로 발생한 여굴의 양과 위치 등을 조사하고 이를 입찰설계단계에서 이루어진 시추공조사와 굴착단계에서의 막장검측에 의한 지질조건과 서로 비교, 분석하였다. 터널굴착에서 발생하는 여굴은 막장의 고경사 절리의 분포와 방향에 의해 영향을 받았으며, 암반조건 RQD, Q'와도 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 현장의 분석에 따르면 터널설계시 고경사절리의 존재여부 및 분포, 방향성 등을 면밀히 조사하고 해석하여 사전에 여굴의 발생 가능성을 확인하는 것이 필요하다.

In general, RMR classification system is used for the support design of a tunnel. Face mapping during excavation and RMR-based rock classifications are conducted in order to provide information for complementary changes to preliminary survey plans and for continuous geological estimations in direction of tunnel route. Although they are ever so important, there are not enough time for survey in general and sometimes even face mapping is not available. Linear regression analysis for the estimation of mediating RQD and condition of discontinuities, which require longer time and more detailed observation in RMR, was performed and optimum regression equations are suggest as the result. The geological data collected from tunnels were analyzed in accordance with three rock types as sedimentary rock, phyllite and granite to see geological effects, generally not been considered in previous researches. Parameters for the regression analysis were set another RMR factor.

지반조사 결과에 의거하여 돌리네와 공동이 존재하는 지역을 구분하여 지역에 적합한 카르스트 형식을 적용, 예측하였다. 특히, 터널이 돌리네 발달 가능성이 적은 백운산 지역을 통과하는 경우에 소규모의 KT-1 ∼ KT-5가 존재하는 것으로 예측되었다. 그러나 설계시 지반조사의 한계성을 인식하고 시공 중에 필요하다고 판단되는 구간에는 막장 전방의 지질상태를 파악할 수 있는 조사를 선 시행하여, 그 결과를 토대로 최종 등급을 결정하여 안전한 시공에 대처할 수 있도록 해야 한다.

터널은 긴 선상구조물로서 사정조사결과와 다른 지질조건이 나타날 수 있으므로, 안전하고 합리적인 터널공사를 위해서는 시공중 지질조건에 적합한 지보설계를 실시하는 것이 필수적이다. 이를 위해서는 시공중 터널주변자반에 대한 정량적이고 공학적인 평가가 매우 중요하다. 그러나 시공중 암반을 평가하는 것은 매우 어렵고 조사자의 경험과 지식의 차이에 의해 평가정도가 크게 달라져 그 불합리성이 심화되고 있는 실정으로 터널주변암반에 대한 합리적인 평가방법이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 터널화상처리, GeoCAD, 역해석으로 구성된 평기시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 터널막장에서의 조사.시험 및 화상처리기법을 통하여 암반분류.평가를 실시하고, 터널주변 지반구조 및 굴착/지보과정의 3차원 모델링을 통하여 전방지질을 예측가능하게 하며, 터널계측자료의 역해석을 통하여 터널주변 지반의 물성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 체계적이고 종합적인 평가시스템이다. 또한 이를 NATM 공법으로 시공되는 터널현장에 적용하므로써 본 시스템의 현장적용성을 검증하였으며, 이를 통해 적절한 지보공을 시공하여 터널의 안정성을 확보하고 합리적인 시공관리를 달성할 수 있었다.

The area of investigation belongs to Okchon metamorphic zone and the fault fractured zone runs parallel to the tunnel direction. It causes the independent decline of tunnel face and the slackness of the tunnel surrounding base so, after all, the severe displacement has occurred within the tunnel. Accordingly, the TSP(Tunnel Seismic Prediction) survey has been performed to investigate the extent of fault fractured zone and to analize its characteristics. Also, we have analized the behavior causes by performing the tunnel face mapping and drilling investigation, and confirmed the position and scale of geological anomaly area and front fractured zone which influences tunnel excavation and supporting. Collected data analyzed ground layer condition through 3 dimensional modeling. Several variables included in the modeling were analyzed by geostastistics. The analysis of the modeling data shows that the belt of weathering by fault fractured zone is developing on the basis of the right side of tunnel and that is decreasing to the left side. The fault fractured zone was confirmed that it has strike, $N0\~5^{\circ}E$ dip NW, and it is consisted of large-scale fractured zone including several anomalies. The severe displacement in tunnel is probably caused by asymmetrical load that n generated by the crossing of discontinuity and the rock strength imbalance of tunnel's both side by fault fractured zone, and judge that need tunnel reinforcement method of grouting etc.

We conducted a Tunnel Seismic Prediction (TSP) survey in a spillway tunnel at Juam Dam to predict the locations of major discontinuities ahead of the tunnel face. We compared the results of the TSP survey with those from pre-construction inspections (including a surface resistivity survey and borehole investigations) as well as with direct tunnel-face mapping during excavation. The TSP method predicted the locations of major fracture zones that were unnoticed in the pre-construction inspections. The reinforcement patterns planned on the basis of pre-construction inspections were changed on the basis of the TSP results. The results demonstrate that TSP surveys are a cost-effective and reliably accurate method of predicting the locations of fracture zones. Although the TSP method has some limitations, these results suggest that the method is generally useful for predicting geological conditions prior to tunnel face construction.

Faults in rock mass have strong influences on the behaviors of rock structure such as rock slope, tunnel and underground space. Thus, it is very important to analyse for the characteristics of fault rocks in design for tunnel. But, due to the limitation of geotechnical investigation in design stages, tunnel engineers have to carry out the face mapping and additional geological survey during tunnel excavation to find the distribution of faults and the engineering properties of faults for support and reinforcement design of tunnel. In this study, various geological survey and field tests were carried out to analyse the characteristics of the large thrust fault zone through the large sectional tunnel is constructed in mica-schist region. Also, the distribution of structural geology, the shape of thrust faults and the mechanical properties of fault rock were studied for the reasonable design of the reinforcement and support method for the highly fractured fault zone in the large-span tunnel.

It is very important to survey in construction for acquiring informations about geological structure which influence the tunnel construction. Usually, TSP(Tunnel Seismic Prediction) one of the seismic survey method in tunnels in Korea has been used for prediction of geological condition ahead of tunnel face, but in this study HSP(Horizontal Seismic Profiling) was used. As a result of field application, we predicted that there exist rock discontinuity such as fault, joints and bedding planes. In addition, RMR value from rock mass evaluation coincided with that from seismic survey for rock condition. We compared with rock classifications and evaluation results for proving.
