A series of model tests were performed to investigate the ground deformation during trench excavation for diaphragm walls. An apparatus was manufactured to observe the failure pattern of a slurry-supported trench in sandy ground. Ground deformations including settlement and lateral displacement of the surrounding ground adjacent to the trench were carefully monitored during excavation. Experimental observations indicated that the settlement of the adjacent ground increased with closing to the trench. Especially, the considerable settlement occurred at the distance which was equal to 40% of the excavation depth. And, the higher settlement was obtained when the relative density of ground was looser and the ground water table was higher. Also, the lateral wall face of excavated trench was bulged with lowering the slurry level In stages and then the upper part of trench failed finally. The envelope of ground surface settlement could be represented as a hyperbolic line and the measured settlement was smaller than those predicted by Clough and O'Rourke (1990).

터널 굴착선 여굴(Overbreak)은 발파공법에 의한 괄착 중에 필연적으로 발생하는 현상으로서 숏크리트, 라이닝 등의 보강비 추가 발생과 버력 처리량의 증대로 공기 및 공사비를 증가시키는 주요한 요인으로 작용한다. 또한 터널 굴착선 암반의 손상으로 균열층이 형성되거나 부석이 발생하여 안전문제를 야기시키기도 한다. 이러한 여굴 발생은 천공오차, 발파패턴의 오류, 잘못된 화약선정, 불규칙한 암반 특성 등에 그 원인이 있으나, 지금까지 터널 여굴은 천공 및 발파기술에 의해 좌우된다라는 인식이 대부분이었다. 그러나 여굴 발생에 중요한 원인으로 터널 굴착선 암반의 특성과 이에 적합한 발파패턴 및 화약류를 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 여굴 발생에 영향을 미치는 암반상태를 파악하기 위해서 터널 굴착선 주변암반의 균열정도, 강도, 불연속면의 간격, 방향, 간극, 충전물 상태 등의 6가지 요소를 이용하여 암반을 분류하는 발파암 분류법(BI)을 새로 제안하였고, 이 분류에 따라 외곽 공의 간격과 장약밀도를 달리 하는 발파패턴을 정립하였다. 또한 화약의 순폭도와 Air Deck 효과를 이용하여 장약밀도를 조절할 수 있는 N.D.C(New Deck Charge) 발파공법을 개발함으로써 여굴을 최소화할 수 있었다.

터널굴착발파공법의 하나인 V-cut발파공법은 터널굴착기술이 발전되는 과정에서 초기에 개발되어진 기술이나 작업의 간편성과 효율성으로 인하여 많은 터널굴착공사에서 이용되고 있는 발파공법이다. V-cut발파공법은 일자유면 상태에서 V형으로 심발공을 발파하고 심발공에 의해 형성된 자유면을 이용하여 확대공으로 굴착공간을 넓히는 발파 방법이며 심발발파의 굴진장에 의해 단일발파당 굴진장이 결정된다. V-cut발파법이 개발된 이래 V-cut발파의 굴진장을 증대시키기 위한 방법으로 심발발파공의 구속저항을 감소시키기 위해 보조심발공을 발파하여 형성된 자유면에 의해 심발공의 최소저항선거리를 줄여 발파하였으나 심발공의 구속저항이 감소되지 않아 발파효율이 증대되지 않았으며 발파진동 또한 가장 크게 발생하였다. 이와 같은 현상은 최소저항선거리의 감소효과에 대한 발파기술상의 이론에 문제가 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 V-cut발파법의 심발공에 대한 구속저항감소효과가 발현될 수 있는 조건들을 검토하여 최소저항선거리의 감소효과가 발현될 수 있는 조건을 제시 하여 심발공의 발파효율을 증대시키고 발파진동이 적어지는 발파방법을 제안하려 한다.

Ground drilling is a common method to conduct site investigation, soil improvement, and pile installation. In the point of construction ground drilling requires electrical energy to drill a hole in ground in which the energy exerts into the motor located on the head of auger and generates rotational power. In this paper it is verified that the exerted electrical energy is closely related to the strength characteristics of ground. Measurement sensors, recording system, and drilling system were developed to obtain exerted motor current and drilling depth and laboratory soil box tests were carried out. The measured motor current and boring depth were applied to predict SPT N-value and the prediction results were compared to SPT N-value of laboratory tests. The test results show that the exerted electrical energy to bore ground be a good index to estimate SPT N-value.

The construction method for Young Dong Tunnel has been chosen following detailed risk assessment. In this paper, the specific risks to the project programme, associated with adopting either mechanical excavation in the form of a shielded TBM, or drill and blast excavation methods, are assessed. From the risk assessment results, and taking other important factors into account, such as project sensitivity and local experience, the recommendation is made that the relatively low risk drill-and-blast method is the most appropriate for construction of Young Dong Tunnel.

The three-dimensional precision numerical analysis was performed using the finite element model applied with the railway track model consisting of rails, As a result of analyzing the track deformation level of the existing tunnel due to the excavation work adjacent to the urban transit, it was found that the evaluation criteria (allowed values) of conventional railways lines were satisfied. Based on the numerical analysis, it was analyzed that the results of the prediction of the tunnel structural stability of due to the excavation work and the level of the tunnel deformation occurring at the actual site could be approximated as closely as possible.

A study of interactive ground behaviour due to tunnelling adjacent to existing piles has not been recognized well for the most geotechnical engineers so far. Because this is a very sophisticated boundary condition problem. In this study, therefore, the author has conducted both the laboratory model test and finite element analysis (FEA) to figure out such a complicated ground behaviour related to shear strain formations. Based on the model testing and FEA results, a boundary line which divides into two distinctive shear strain formations in relation to the locations of end-bearing pile tips was proposed. The author believes that the proposed boundary line may be helpful for planning the appropriate tunnel positions for avoiding damage of buildings which supported by piled-foundations in urban areas.

In a shotcrete support system, the cooperation of the ground and the shotcrete lining makes it possible to transfer the shear stress to the shotcrete lining, which is dedicated to form a stable structure. In this study, a homogeneous model ground with constant strength was produced by using gypsum and the tunnel was excavated with a top heading method under the definite initial stress. During the excavation, the stress in the ground around the tunnel and the deformation of shotcrete lining were measured, The tensile stress was generated in tangential direction in the ground near the tunnel and in the shotcrete lining due to tunnel excavation. This shows the unified behavior of the ground and shotcrete lining, which is the most typical characteristic of the shotcrete support. As a result, the rates of in-situ stress during the excavation at a top boundary line was 9% and at top arch heading 15%. It was 48% right after excavating the heading and 94% before cutting the bench.

The arching effect of the active earth pressure acting on an excavation wall subjected to close excavation reduces lateral earth pressure acting on excavation wall. In this paper, the arching effect was estimated for varying width to excavation depth ratio and wall friction angle by analytical and numerical methods verified with centrifuge test results. The arching effect is significant when the width to excavation depth ratio and wall friction angle is decreased and increased, respectively. The analytical solution derived from the classical arching theory suggested by Handy(1985) shows good agreement with the numerical solution than the other solutions.
