Recently, earthquakes have occurred near Gyeongju and Pohang and the social demands are thus being increased for seismic analysis of tall buildings and their adjacent underground structure in big cities. Since most of the previous seismic analysis studies considered a tall building and an adjacent underground structure separately, however, they lack the analysis on dynamic mutual behavior between two structures. Therefore, in this study, a dynamic analysis with a full soil-structure interaction was performed for a complex underground facility with a tall building and an adjacent underground structure constructed on the bedrock with a surface layer. To improve the reliability, in particular, a pseudo-static analysis was performed and compared with the dynamic analysis results. It is comprehensively concluded that the analysis of adjacent underground structures being considered is more conservative than that of not considered.

여러 가지 지하시설물 중 국가 주요 자원의 수송망을 책임지는 주요구조물인 수도관, 가스관등의 배관구조물은 접근이 쉽지 않은 지하공간에 복잡하게 연결되어 있어 그 중요성에 비해 유지, 관리, 보수가 쉽지 않았다. 이러한 배관구조물을 균열, 조인트 풀림 등의 손상으로부터 보다 안전하고 효율적으로 관리하기 위하여 상시적 배관구조물 손상진단기법을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 배관 구조물 시험체에 볼트풀림, notch 등과 같은 손상에 대하여 대표적인 압전센서인 PZT와 MFC를 부착하고 임피던스기법 및 유도 초음파기법을 적용하여 볼트풀림개수, notch 손상개수 증가에 따른 출력신호를 반복 계측하였다. 객관적인 평가를 위해 계측된 신호를 신호처리기법인 웨이블렛 변환을 수행하고, RMSD 및 1-CC의 손상지수를 사용하여 구조물손상을 정량화 시켰으며 이를 토대로 구조물의 건전성의 기준이 되는 임계값을 설정함으로서 임피던스와 유도초음파 두 검색기법을 이용한 상시적 배관구조물 건전성 모니터링의 가능성을 살펴보았다.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred in large cities such as Gyeongju and Pohang, and seismic analysis studies have been actively conducted in various fields. However, since most of the previous seismic analyses have dealt with ground structures and the ground separately, there is a lack of a study on the complete soil-structure dynamic interaction. Therefore, in this study, a sensitivity analysis is conducted with MIDAS GEN and MIDAS GTS NX to apply the underground structure fixed-end model considering only the building and the complete system model considering both the building and the ground, respectively and the validity of dynamic analysis considering SSI is examined. As a result of the study, in most conditions it is found that the maximum horizontal displacement of the tall building in case of the underground structure fixed-end model is estimated to be smaller, the bending stress is larger, and the range of the weak part is smaller than that of the complete system model. Therefore, it is expected to be more reasonable to use the complete system model considering soil-structure interaction in seismic analysis.

Some of the underground structures such as subway tunnels are constructed by open cut method, in which the ground is excavated, a structure installed, and after that the excavated space is backfilled. In this case, because of their narrow and constrained boundary conditions, the earth pressure induced by self-weight of the backfilled soil acting on the underground structures is different from that of the classical theory. The vertical and horizontal earth pressures acting on upper slab and side wall of the underground structures constructed by open cut method are affected by the backfill geometry. The laboratory model tests were performed in the conditions of a variety of the shapes of backfill geometry and wall friction. And their results were compared with those from theories. As a result, it was observed that the distribution of the earth pressure acting on the underground structure is affected by the shapes of backfill geometry, the width of backfill, the angle of excavation and the wall friction.

In this study, in order to evaluate stability of the room-and-pillar underground structure, a series of preliminary numerical analyses were performed. Design concept and procedure of an underground structure for obtaining a space are proposed, which should be different from structural design for the room-and-pillar in mine. With assumed material properties, a series of numerical analyses were performed by varying size ratios of room and pillar and then the failure modes and location at yielding initiation were investigated. From the results, relationship between the ratio of pillar width to the roof span (w/s) and overburden pressure at failure initiation shows a relatively linear relation, and the effect of w/s on structural stability is much more critical than the ratio of pillar width and height (w/H) which is a crucial parameter in design of the room-and-pillar mining. It means that roof tensile failure and shear failure at shoulder and pillar are necessary to be considered together for confirming overall structural stability of the room-and-pillar structure, rather than considering the pillar stability only in mining. Failure modes and location at failure initiation were varied with respect to the ratio of room and pillar widths. Therefore, it is necessary to simultaneously consider stability of both roof span and pillar for design of underground structure by the room-and-pillar method.

Recently, the development of underground structures is to be inevitably necessary due to the increase in population and traffic volume that has caused to the limit of urban land use and the heavy traffic jams. Therefore, underground structures such as subway, underground shopping centers, lifeline facilities and so on, have been increasingly constructed, On the other hand, several social problems have occurred during construction, i.e., ground subsidence, noise, and vibration. Therefore, safer and more beneficial methods for underground construction are on the demand. In this research, N.T.R.(New Tubular Roof) method has been modified and utilized for solving those problems and overcoming the difficulties connected with the bored tunnel construction of large underground openings in unfavorable ground, often under the water table, and with overburdens that are too shallow to solve problems of stability using traditional methods. The N.T.R. method has been modified to suit for Korean geotechnical conditions, and was made up for the weak points-the water leakage from walls and tops, the maintenance and the lack of stability-of the conventional methods. This paper dealt with the features and the applicability of N.T.R. Method based on the results from numerical analysis and data from in-situ monitoring system.

Recently, mining facilities have being installed in an underground space according to a social demand for environment-friendly mine development. The underground structures for mining facilities usually requires a large volume of space with width greater than height, and thus the stability assessment of the large-scale underground mine structure is an important issue. In this study, we analysed a factor of safety based on strength reduction method, and proposed a numerical design approach to determining the dimension of underground mine structures in combination with a strength reduction method and a multivariate regression analysis. Input design parameters considered in the present study were the stress ratio and shear strength of rock mass, and the width and cover depth of underground mine structures. The stabilities of underground mine structures were assessed in terms of factor of safety under different conditions of the above input parameters. It was calculated by the strength reduction method, and several kinds of fit functions were obtained through various multivariate regression analyses. Using a best-fit regression model, we proposed the charts which provide preliminary design information on the dimension of underground mine structures.
