○ ○ tunnel that is located at Iksan - Jangsu freeway ○ ○, has collapsed during construction at the valley with shallow depth. Although, the site investigations, such as TSP, drilling exploration and so of indicated the presence of discontinuities in this section. The RMR was upgraded and the construction were carried out because that not only actual rock qualities were relatively good during construction but also the tunnel foe was stabilized. However, the tunnel was collapsed at the same time blasting of full face, and surface and underground water was infiltrated due to the settlement of the upper part of the tunnel face. To restore the collapsed section, 3-d tunnel stability analysis was performed and suitable reinforcement methods were chosen. The cavity of the upper tunnel face was stabilized by means of UAM and ALC injection. And the settlement was restored using L.W grouting method.

The main structure of Gunsan steam power station was demolished by the toppling method using high explosives. Height of a main building is 58m and a total floor area is $292,000m^2$. It is Rahmen(rigid-frame) structure consisted of almost columns and beams and slabs exist only in one part of the building for the electricity generators equipments. To improve the efficiency of blasting work, it is separated into 4 sectors. Blasting floors were 1, 2, 3, & 4 stories from first sector to third sector, while 1, 2, 5, & 7 of fourth sector were blasted because it had not slabs. About 102.675 kg of the MegaMITE were used with 225 electric detonator and 638 non-electric detonators to check detonator connection and confidence of detonation. The blasting noise and vibration were monitored to evaluate the environment effect and the damage of the nearby structures.

국내 대부분을 차지하고 있는 NATM의 주요원리는 주변지반의 지보효과를 활용하는 터널굴착공법이다. 따라서 실제 지반조건이 원설계조건 보다 역학적으로 불량한 경우 보강공법의 적용은 필수적이라 할 수 있으나, 합리적인 설계변경은 현실적으로 쉽지 않은 실정이다. 또한 현실적인 이유로 양방향으로 터널을 관통하는 설계법과 달리 종종 1방향 굴진으로 터널을 관통하는 경우가 있다. 그러나 이러한 1방향 굴진은 불가분 굴진 종점부에서 저토피 갱구를 향하게 되므로, 지반이 연약한 경ㅇ우 막장 붕괴의 위험이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 터널은 설계 시 갱구부 지반을 풍화암과 연암으로 보고 설계 하였으나, 실제 굴착 시 확인된 지층은 핵석을 포함한 실트질모래(SP-SM)로 판명되었다. 더구나 터널굴진 방향에 있어서도 양방향 굴착이 아닌 저토피 갱구를 향한 1방향 굴진을 실시하였으며, 이러한 시공 중에 터널관통을 불과 19m 남겨둔 갱구부에서 막장부괴와 동시에 상부사면 함몰이 발생하였다. 본 연구는 토사터널 갱구부 1방향 굴진 시 발생한 막장붕괴 보강사례로서, 지상보강(시멘트밀크 그라우팅)과 갱내보강(방사상 FRP보강그라우팅) 그리고 인버트폐합을 실시하여 성공적으로 터널시공을 완료한 사례연구이다. 본 사례는 향후 토사터널 갱구부의 설계와 시공에 유용한 참고자료가 될 것이다.

Due to the steep and narrow characteristic of domestic coal beds, the slant chute caving or sub-level caving method have been mainly adopted in Korea, whereas the long-wall mining has been widely used all around world. However, the slant chute caving or sub-level caving method have disadvantage of not giving much information on the scale and characteristic of abandoned mines. Hence, those information on the abandoned mines in Korea are not easily available. In this study, based on the characteristic investigation of the domestic mining methods, the geological survey and safety analysis were carried out for Donghae highway section 2. Finally, the optimum ground reinforcement methods for that site were selected.

The stability of tunnel construction depends entirely on the characteristics of the soil strength. If the soil strength is weak, collapse of tunnel occurs frequently under construction. In general, it copes with collapse by conducting half section excavation or reinforcement in advance under these conditions. Nevertheless, it can be collapsed under upper section excavation in the weathered fracture zone and it can be recovered through the application of reinforcement. As it has a bad influence on the upper section in case of upheaveal of tunnel bottom, it can be adversely affected on the overall stability of the tunnel. Thus, an in-depth review of reinforcement is needed in poor bottom ground. As the practices that has a bad affect on the stability of the tunnel due to upheaveal of tunnel bottom is increasing, research is needed for applicable standards for reinforcement. In this paper, it were investigated at actual field cases of upheaveal of bottom ground and characteristics of behavior and reinforcement measures were analyzed.

When excavating a small cross-section tunnel in a fault fracture zone using the shield TBM method, there is a high possibility of excessive convergence and collapse. Appropriate ground reinforcement is required to minimize construction cost loss and trouble due to a fault fracture zone. In this study, the optimal reinforcement area was suggested and the surrounding ground behavior was investigated through numerical analysis using MIDAS GTS NX (Ver. 280). For the parameters, the width of the fault fracture zone, the existence of fault gouge, and the groundwater level and depth of cover were applied. As a result, when there is not fault gouge, the convergence and ground settlement are satisfied the standard when applying ground reinforcement by up to 0.5D. And, due to the high permeability coefficient, it is judged that it is necessary to apply 0.5D reinforcement. There is a fault gouge, it was possible to secure stability when applying ground reinforcement between the entire fault fracture zone from the top of the tunnel to 0.5D. And, because the groundwater discharge occurred within the standard value due to the fault gouge, reinforcement was unnecessary.
