In general the strength parameter of the ground will be changed by reinforcing the ground around tunnel. In this case, the concept of tunnel design, such as supporting system, excavation, lining and so on, should be modified based on the failure criteria or the ground changed by the reinforcement. This paper presents the variation mechanism of strength parameters and new failure criteria of the reinforced ground. In order to perform this research, theoretical and experimental works were carried out. It was clearly founded that the cohesion of strength parameters is only increased by reinforcement of ground, especially by rock bolting.

In order to design an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structures for an undersea tunnel, mechanical properties for the lamina types of the structural member must be predetermined. It is also reported that the size effect of the specimen is significant. In this study the tensile tests for the lamina types of the structural member are conducted at the room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) and the seawater temperature ($0^{\circ}C$). In addition, the mechanical properties are predicted by theory based on the rule of mixtures and elasticity solution technique. The predicted mechanical properties are compared with test results obtained by a test method. In the design of an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structural members for an undersea tunnel, the used mechanical properties must be applied at the room temperature with considering the modified factors. These are to be offered the datum for the design an advanced composite materials drainage pipe structures for an undersea tunnel.

Utilization of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been enlarged as a substitution material to the general construction materials having certain long-term problems such as corrosion, etc. However, it could be difficult to apply the FRP material, which has a linear shape generally, to an arch-shaped tunnel structure. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this study to develop a device to form a designed cross section of FRP material by pulling out with a curvature. A sample of the circled FRP product was successfully produced and then the sample has been tested to identify its physical characteristics. Then, intensive feasibility studies on the circled FRP panel to be used for a tunnel lining structure have been carried out by numerical analyses. As a result, it appears that the new circled FRP-concrete composite panel has a high capability to be used for a tunnel lining material without any structural problem.

서울지하철 터널의 상당 구간이 막장면이 풍화토에서 풍화암까지 변화하는 복합화강토지반에 건설되어 왔다. 화강암풍화지반은 심도에 따라 강도의 변화가 크며, 수위가 높고 투수성 지반인 특징을 갖는다. 터널은 주로 비원형 배수터널로 설계되고 NATM 공법으로 시공되었다. 이와 같은 여건의 터널현장에서 발생하였던 붕괴사례를 조사한 결과, 대부분의 붕괴가 터널 어깨 부근으로부터 시작되었고, 구조적으로 완전하지 않은 라이닝, 그리고 지하수와의 연관성 등의 공통적 특징이 확인되었다. 이러한 터널문제는 지반조건, 시공조건, 터널형상 등 경계조건이 복잡하여 한계평형 해석과 같은 종래의 해석적 방법으로 터널안정을 검토하기가 용이하지 않다. 그 가장 큰 이유중의 하나는 터널의 파괴메카니즘에 대한 분명한 정보를 알 수 없는데 있다. 파괴메카니즘의 조사에는 전통적으로 원심모형시험법이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 화강토지반내의 터널처럼 복잡한 경계조건을 갖는 터널문제에는 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 이에 대한 하나의 대안으로서 본 논문에서는 지반거동의 비선형성을 고려하는 Coupled 수치해석법을 이용하여 파괴메카니즘을 조사하였다. 수치해석결과의 증분변위벡터, 누적소성편차변형률 그리고 속도특성치(velocity characteristics)의 분석을 통해 실제 붕괴사례와 잘 일치하는 명확한 파괴메카니즘을 파악할 수 있었다. 이로부터 복잡한 경계조건을 갖는 터널 문제의 안정해석을 위한 파괴메카니즘을 조사하는 수치해석적 접근방법을 제시하였다.

As the number of underground structures has increased in recent decades, it has become crucial to predict geological hazards ahead of a tunnel face during tunnel construction. Consequently, this study developed a finite element (FE) numerical model to simulate electrical resistivity surveys in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations for predicting mixed ground conditions in front of tunnel faces. The accuracy of the developed model was verified by comparing the numerical results not only with an analytical solution but also with experimental results. Using the developed model, a series of parametric studies were carried out to estimate the effect of geological conditions and sensor geometric configurations on electrical resistivity measurements. The results of these studies showed that both the interface slope and the difference in electrical resistivity between two different ground formations affect the patterns and variations in electrical resistivity observed during TBM excavation. Furthermore, it was revealed that selecting appropriate sensor spacing and optimizing the location of the electrode array were essential for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of predictions related to mixed ground conditions. In conclusion, the developed model can serve as a powerful and reliable tool for predicting mixed ground conditions during TBM tunneling.
