A reliable analysis of tunnelling is needed to accomplish technically sound design and safe and economical construction. For the reliable analysis, a series of procedures of construction which include excavation and support stages must be considered. In this study, rock-support response behavior is studied and simulated in 2-D and 3-D finite element methods. Through the analysis of rock-support response behavior, the effects of the properties of shotcrete on the load distribution ratio can be quantified. The load distribution ratios for different rock types, different unsupported spans and various lateral earth pressure coefficients can be determined from the results of the 3-D finite element analysis. This load distribution ratios can be applied to a practical tunnel design through understanding of the trend of those various factors affecting the rock-support interaction.

Tunnel excavation in jointed rock mass induces a displacement along tunnel excavation line and its assessment is very important to ensure the stability of tunnel and a demanded space. Tunnel displacement is directly related to the deformation modulus of ground and therefore it is essential to know the value of the parameter. However, most rock masses where tunnels are constructed are generally jointed and it is difficult to find out the deformation modulus of jointed rock mass simply based on an homogeneous isotropic elastic medium because the deformation modulus is highly affected by joint condition as well as rock type. Accordingly, this study carried out extensive numerical parametric studies to examine the variation of deformation modulus in different joint conditions and rock types under the condition of tunnel excavation. The study results were compared with existing empirical relationships and also shown in the chart of deformation modulus variation in different jointed rock mass conditions.

한강하저의 지질은 수많은 대ㆍ소 단층들로 인해 심하게 교란되어 있어 지질상황의 변화가 매우 심하며, 터널을 굴착함에 있어 지하수의 유입을 차단하는 것이 안전시공을 위한 필수 과제로 직면한다. 본 고에서는 기 시공실적을 바탕으로 암반상태에 따른 차수그라우딩의 패턴을 비교ㆍ검토하였다. 본 구간에서는 암반상태에 따라 5가지 패턴이 적용되었으며, 경암 암반일 경우는 상부반단면만을 주입범위(주입범위 : 3.5m, 28공)로 하고 암반의 전단강도증진을 위해 강관보강을 시행하였다. 연암 암반 내지 파쇄대가 부분적으로 협재된 경우는 상부반단면만을 주입하되 주입범위 및 그라우팅 공수를 늘리는 방식(주입범위 : 5∼7, 42∼56공)으로 보강하였다. 풍화암 암반의 경우는 전단면을 주입범위로 하여 그라우팅 공수를 늘림(주입범위 : 7m, 81공)으로서 차수효과를 증진시켰다. 또한 본 공사구간 중 가장 난제였던 연약지반대(잔류토 내지 풍화토) 85m 구간은 자문회의 등을 거쳐 주입범위, 주입길이 및 주입공수, bulk head 구간을 늘려 시공하고, 굴착하면서 차수효과를 확인하는 방식을 취하였다.

Exact rock classification helps suitable support patterns to be installed. Face mapping is usually conducted to classify the rock mass using RMR (Rock Mass Ration) or Q values. There have been several attempts to predict the grade of rock mass using mechanical data of jumbo drills or probe drills and photographs of excavation surfaces by using deep learning. However, they took long time, or had a limitation that it is impossible to grasp the rock grade in ahead of the tunnel surface. In this study, a method to predict the Q value ahead of excavation surface is developed using recurrent neural network (RNN) technique and it is compared with the Q values from face mapping for verification. Among Q values from over 4,600 tunnel faces, 70% of data was used for learning, and the rests were used for verification. Repeated learnings were performed in different number of learning and number of previous excavation surfaces utilized for learning. The coincidence between the predicted and actual Q values was compared with the root mean square error (RMSE). RMSE value from 600 times repeated learning with 2 prior excavation faces gives a lowest values. The results from this study can vary with the input data sets, the results can help to understand how the past ground conditions affect the future ground conditions and to predict the Q value ahead of the tunnel excavation face.

There are substantial difficulties in assessing the volume of soill/rock to be excavated and the cost thereof, which is attributable to the subjective and qualitative methods of rock mass classification prevailing at the moment. This paper intends to introduce more objective and quantitative rock mass classification method easily applicable to the excavation of granites in Muakjae, Seoul. As a result of such study it is proven that Schmidt hammer and point load strength tests are fairly reliable and easily applicable to estimate and quantify uniaxial compressive strength of granitic material in Seoul. In an efforts to confirm the granitic rock mass conditions in 12 meters underground, seismic refraction surveys were made on the top of vertical exposures from where underlying rock mass conditions could be directly inspected. Rock mass boundaries determined by seismic refraction methods were found to agree within a 1m variance with visible differences in rock mass conditions in the vertical exposure beneath the test site. Thus it can be concluded that detailed geotechnical mapping on cutting slopes is a most efficient, dependable and cost-effective technique in assessing likely excavation conditions of shallow granitic mass in Seoul.

Tunnel collapse often occurs during deep underground tunneling (> 40 m depth) in South Korea. Natural cavities as well as water supply pipes, sewer pipes, electric power cables, artificial cavities created by subway construction are complexly distributed in the artificial ground in the shallow depths of the urban area. For deep tunnel excavation, it is necessary to understand the properties of the ground which is characterized by porous elements and various geological structures, and their influence on the stability of the ground. This study analyzed geological factors for risk assessment in deep excavation in South Korea based on domestic and overseas case study. As a result, a total of 7 categories and 38 factors were derived. Factors with high weights were fault and fault clay, differential stress, rock type, groundwater and mud inrush, uniaxial compressive strength, cross-sectional area of tunnel, overburden thickness, karst and valley terrain, fold, limestone alternation, fluctuation of groundwater table, tunnel depth, dyke, RQD, joint characteristics, anisotropy, rockburst and so forth.

Based on recent studies, the side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts was affected by unconfined compressive strength of rock, socket roughness, rock types and joints, and initial normal stress. Especially, the socket roughness was affected by rock types and joints, drilling methods, and diameters of pile. In this study, a new roughness measurement system (BKS-LRPS, Backyoung-KyungSung Laser Roughness Profiling System) usable in water was developed. Based on the laboratory model tests, an EMD (Effective Measurement Distances) according to various turbidity was proposed as $EMD=1149.2{\times}T_{b}^{-0.64}$.

본 연구는 지하유류저장공동 굴착 시 비교적 정밀하게 해석된 단열체계 및 수리인자를 토대로 투수성구조영역과 수리암반영역으로 세분화하여 연구지역의 불규칙하고 복잡한 지하수유동체계를 해석해 보고자 하였다. FZ-2 구조대와 인접한 수리암반영역 Domain-A와 B는 Domain-C와 D에 비해 수평수벽공의 초기압이 최대 약 $15kg/cm^2$정도 높으며, 상 하부의 수리적 연결성이 양호하여 지하공동굴착 시 상 하부의 수위차가 크지 않고 지하수 함양량은 약 $35{\sim}50mm/year$의 범위를 보인다. 또한 공동굴착 시 투수성 단열과의 교차에 의한 수위강하에 민감한 반응을 보이며 상 하부의 수위강하양상이 유사한 특성을 나타낸다. 반면, FZ-1 구조대와 인접한 Domain-C와 D는 지하공동 부근의 수리전도도가 각각 $7{\times}10^{-10},\;2{\times}10^{-9}m/sec$로 Domain-A와 B에 비해 최대 약 6배정도 낮고, 상 하부의 수리적 연결성이 양호하지 않기 때문에 공동굴착 전 이중수위측정시설 설치 시 계측된 상 하부의 수위차는 최대 약 120 m로 매우 크다. 그리고 상부의 지하수는 하부의 낮은 수리전도도로 인하여 수직방향보다 수평방향으로의 유동이 우세하며 공동굴착 시 수위변화는 크지 않고 함양량은 $10{\sim}15mm/year$의 범위를 나타낸다.

지하구조물 걸설시 발파에 의한 암반의 굴착공법이 일반적으로 사용된다. 그러나 발파에 의한 암반의 굴착은 잔존암반의 손상과 진동을 유발하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재까지는 이러한 암반의 손상과 진동문제를 해결하기 위해 현장계측을 기초로한 경험적인 방법이 이용되어 왔으나 여러 가지 한계점을 지니고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 수치해석에 의한 터널 발파의 모델링을 이용하면 이러한 한계점을 보완할수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 발파에 의한 발파공 주위 암반의 거동을 유한요소해석을 이용하여 규명하고, 토로터널의 표준발파패턴을 기초로 하여 외과공 발파와 외곽공에 인접한 주변공 발파에 의한 암방의 손상의 손상을 비교하여 발파패턴의 적절성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 이를 근거응 발파에 의한 암반의 손상을 최소하기 위한 발파패턴의 최적화를 도모하였다.
