This paper presents the effect of groundwater on tunnel performance. Fundamental issues in tunneling under high groundwater table together with an illustrative example are discussed. The effect of groundwater on tunnel excavation was examined using a 3D stress-pore pressure coupled finite-element analysis. The results of the 3D coupled analysis were then compared with those of a total stress analysis. Examined items included earth and pore pressures around lining, and lining stresses. Also the examined include face movement and ground surface movements. The results indicated that the effect of groundwater on tunnel excavation can only be captured through a fully coupled analysis. Implementations of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.

In tunnels, safety factor concept has been suggested to estimate their stability quantitatively. It is merely limited in the framework of mechanical analysis. However safety factor concept has not been applied in hydro-mechanical coupled analyses due to their modelling complexity. Recently studies on this topic are being actively made. In this study, induced drainage modelling methods for hydro-mechanical coupled analyses are compared and analyzed to estimate safety factor of a subsea tunnel exactly. To this end, methods both controlling hydraulic characteristic of shotcrete and using a drainage well are considered. Sensitivity analysis were carried out on rock class, thickness of shotcrete, and hydraulic properties of rock mass. As the results of this study, it turned out that the induced drainage modelling using a drainage well would give more reliable results than that of controlling hydraulic characteristic of shotcrete in estimating tunnel stability in hydro-mechanical coupled analyses.

The present study developed a sequential approach-based numerical simulator for modeling coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) processes in the ground and investigated the computational performance of the coupling analysis algorithm. The present sequential approach linked the two different solvers: an open-source numerical code, OpenGeoSys for solving the thermal and hydrological processes in porous media and a commercial code, FLAC3D for solving the geomechanical response of the ground. A benchmark test of the developed simulator was carried out using a THM problem where an analytical solution is given. The benchmark problem involves the coupled behavior (variations in temperature, pore pressure, stress, and deformation with time) of a fully saturated porous medium which is subject to a point heat source. The results of the analytical solution and numerical simulation were compared and the validity of the numerical simulator was investigated.

Seismic design and analysis of nuclear power plant components are performed based on an decoupled model. However, this decoupled analysis has a limitation in that it generates inaccurate results compared to the coupled analysis because it cannot simulate actual phenomena such as the interaction between structures and components. Thus, this study performed seismic coupled and decoupled analysis on an existing nuclear containment structure and related components, considering the mass and natural frequency ratios. And based on these results, comparative analyses of responses of components were conducted. Consequently, the seismic coupled analysis result generally gave a smaller value than the decoupled analysis result. These results were similar to the analysis results for the simple coupled model, which was an existing study, but the difference in component responses was much more pronounced. Also, this was influenced by the installation location of the component rather than the influence of the input frequency of the input seismic motions. Finally, the difference between the decoupled and coupled seismic analysis occurred in the region where the mass ratio of the components was large, and the natural frequencies were almost similar due to the considerable dynamic interaction between the structure and the component in this realm.

하천의 홍수터는 평상시 수면위로 노출되어 국민의 여가생활을 위한 공원, 주차장 등으로 활용되다 홍수기 수위가 상승하면 침수되는 하천공간이다. 홍수범람 면적 또는 홍수위 산정을 위한 수치모의 시, 홍수의 평면적인 변화를 분석하기 위해서는 1차원 모의결과와 지형정보를 연계하여 범람면적을 산정하거나 2차원 수치모형의 격자를 대상공간에 대하여 구축한 후 모의를 수행한다. 1차원 수치모형은 계산효율이 우수하고 지류의 합류에 의한 영향을 다수 반영하거나, 긴 구간의 하천단면 구축을 통하여 경계조건이 수치해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 지형의 영향으로 발생하는 국부적인 유속변화와 유향의 평면적인 분포에 의해 발생하는 범람면적의 변화를 반영하기 어렵다. 홍수범람을 고려하여 제작하는 홍수위험지도는 2차원 수치모형의 결과를 기반으로 한다. 2차원 수치모형은 하도의 만곡, 제방의 형상 등과 같은 지형에 의한 유속장의 변화, 흐름영역의 수축 및 확대에 의한 유속의 변화 등을 자세히 반영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 반면에 수치격자 생성 및 계산결과 도출에 소요되는 시간이 길고 계산영역 설정의 한계로 인하여 경계조건이 흐름해석결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 국내외적으로 1차원과 2차원 수치해석기법을 연계하여 하나의 모형으로 구축한 1-2차원 수치해석 모형이 개발 또는 적용되고 있다. 1-2차원 연계해석기법은 1차원 해석영역과 2차원 해석영역을 연계함에 있어서 흐름방향 연계와 횡방향 연계로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 1차원과 2차원 수치해석을 연계하는 기법에 따라서 발생하는 수치모의결과를 비교하고 적용성을 검토하였다. 수리실험 관측결과가 있는 사례에 모형을 적용한 후, 한강지형에 수치모형을 적용하고 그 결과를 비교한다. 또한, 계산에 소요되는 시간을 비교하기 위하여 2차원 수치격자의 해상도를 다양하게 적용하여 수치실험을 수행한다. 분석결과를 기반으로 홍수위험지도 제작, 홍수위산정 및 홍수예보 등에 새로운 기술의 적용성을 검토한다.

해저 지하 구조물을 시공할 경우는 높은 수압 및 침투압 등의 영향이 무시될 수 없으므로 지하저장 공동의 정확한 거동평가를 위해서는 수리-역학적 해석이 수행되어야만 한다. 또한, 실무에서는 암반이완하중을 고려하여 터널의 콘크리트 라이닝을 설계하며, 이를 위해 이완하중고를 터널 주변의 국부안전율 분포를 이용하여 수치해석에 의해 산정하는 방법이 제안된바 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해저터널을 대상으로 수리-역학적 연계해석 시 국부안전율을 이용한 이완하중고 산정 기법의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 3등급 암반을 대상으로 숏크리트 수리특성을 이용한 유도배수방법과 집수정의 펌핑을 이용한 유도배수방법을 이용하여 이완하중고를 산정하고 적용성을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 연계해석 시 해저시설물의 안전율 및 이완하중고를 정확하게 산정하기 위해서는 집수정의 펌핑을 이용하여 유도배수하는 모델링 방법이 보다 정확하고 일관성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In discontinuous rock masses, hydraulic-mechanical coupled analyses are required since groundwater flow in joints have a great influence on the stability of a subsea tunnel. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was performed based on coupled analysis to verify the routine which can estimate the safety factor of a tunnel in discontinuous rock mass. To this end, 324 cases of numerical calculations were performed with a commercial program, UDEC-2D. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed routine for coupled analysis in discontinuous rock mass could give a reasonable result for the estimation of safety factor of a tunnel. Therefore, it is expected that the safety factor estimation method used in this study can be effectively applied for the stability estimation of a subsea tunnel in discontinuous rock masses.

This paper presents the effect of groundwater on tunnel excavation. Fundamental issues in tunneling under high groundwater table are discussed and the effect of groundwater on tunnel excavation was examined using a 3D stress-pore pressure coupled finite-element analysis. Based on the results the interaction mechanism between the tunnelling and groundwater is identified for cases having different lining permeabilities. Examined items include pore pressures around lining and lining stresses. Face deformation behavior as well as ground surface movement patterns was also examined. Besides, the effect of grouting pattern was investigated. The results indicated that the effect of groundwater on tunnel excavation increases lining stresses as well as ground movements, and that the tunnel excavation and groundwater interaction can only be captured through a fully coupled analysis. Implementations of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.

Fluid/structure interaction (FSI) analysis is necessary to predict the response of a system in which aerodynamic pressure causes deformation of the structure, and vice versa. In dealing with a nonlinear behavior of the structure, however, a simple iterative algorithm of aerodynamic analysis with structural analysis yields no accurate results since aerodynamic pressure need to be changed in accordance with the deformation of structures. In this study, we explore an efficient and accurate method for integrating FSI analysis into structural nonlinear systems. During the course of nonlinear structural analysis, loading conditions are periodically updated by aerodynamic analysis. The accuracy and efficiency of the method is demonstrated with a high-aspect-ratio flexible wing of Global Hawk.
