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.

The rebound test using Schmidt hammer is most popular method to estimate strength of concrete. However, this method is inappropriate for Seoul Metro underground structures due to unsuitable aging effects. Consequently, the strength presumption equation of underground structures is proposed according to the correlation of uniaxial compressive strength, rebound test results and age of concrete. To achieve this, the results of in-depth inspection of Seoul Metro underground structures performed annually for last 8 years was anlayed.

As the development of the underground space becomes active, safety accidents related to the underground are frequently occurring in recent years. In this regard, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is enforcing the 『Special Act on Underground Safety Management』 (enforced on January 1, 2018, hereafter referred to as the Underground Safety Act). Among the core contents of the Underground Safety Act, underground facilities(water supply, sewage, gas, power, communication, heating) buried underground, underground structures(subway, underpass, underpass, underground parking lot, underground shopping mall, common area), ground (Drilling, wells, geology) of 15 types of underground information can be checked at a glance on a three-dimensional basis by constructing an integrated underground spatial map and using it. The purpose of this study is to develop a program that can quickly inspect the three-dimensional model after creating a three-dimensional underground structure data among the underground spatial integration maps. To this end, we first investigated and reviewed the domestic and foreign status of technology that generates and automatically inspects 3D underground structure data. A quality inspection program was developed. Through this study, it is judged that it will be meaningful as a basic research for improving the quality of underground structures on the integrated map of underground space by automating more than 98% of the 3D model inspection process, which is currently being conducted manually.

Purpose: This study conducted a slope stability study considering changes in the ground water level due to rain phenomena and the duration of rainfall, that is for the purpose of analyzing the stability of the slope surface of the cut section, seepage numerical analysis is performed by height of slope and rainfall accident, and the characteristics of rainfall was applied reasonably in order to determine the slope change during rain by analyzing rainfall and rainfall pattern due to climate change. Results: As a result of numerical analysis of stability for slope composed of the granite weathered soils according to the characteristics of rainfall(Uniform Rainfall, US Army Corps., Huff's method - 1/4, 4/4), Conclusion: The higher the slope, the smaller the safety factor of the slope, the smaller the elevation of the ground water level as the rainwater seepage does not reach the underground water level. In addition, the ground water level was assessed to be rose significantly in condition of case 3 Huff's method - 1/4, rain pattern with the largest initial rainfall duration, and the safety factor was analyzed to be small.

A statistical method for assessing the joint persistence based on the in-situ measurement of joint trace length has been derived. This method utilizes the probability density distribution of either the joint trace length or the diameter of hypothetically circular joint diameter depending on the relative size of joint surface to that of the potential keyblock. The stability of potential keyblock with different sizes and joint persistences has been also calculated to illustrate the applicability of the developed method to the design and the safe excavation of large scale underground openings.

Underground information is difficult to visually check, which can lead to a huge accident in the event of a safety accident. Recently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport intends to reduce safety accidents caused by the aging or damage of underground facilities through the Special Act on Underground Safety Management. GPR is increasingly being used as a technology to acquire information in underground spaces that are difficult to see with the naked eye. However, GPR's location information is corrected by checking images of CCTV and GPS information acquired during exploration. This method has an average error of about 2 meters. In this works, We used LiDAR to calibrate the GPR information and found that the error was reduced from at least 7cm to up to 40cm. If accurate GPR information collected in the future is analyzed quickly using AI, etc., it will be able to collect and utilize underground information faster than it is now to secure safety.

기후변화의 영향으로 인하여 가뭄의 발생이 잦아지고 그 기간은 늘어나고 있다. 특히 2015년에는 충남 서부 지역에 제한급수가 실시되는 등의 피해가 발생하였으며, 올해에도 일부 지역에 가뭄 피해가 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 가뭄에 대비하기 위한 방안의 하나로, 해수담수화 및 지하수와 같은 대체 수자원 개발의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 특히 지하수의 경우에는 단기간에 최소한의 비용으로 안전한 용수(用水)를 확보할 수 있다는 측면에서 그 효용성이 높다. 그러나 지하수 역시 지표수와 마찬가지로 한정된 자원이며 생성과정에 상당한 시일이 걸린다는 점을 고려할 때, 그 활용을 위해서는 다음과 같은 정책적 고려가 필요해 보인다. 우리나라 지하수는 개별법에 따라 5개 중앙부처 및 지자체에서 소관업무별로 관리하고 있어, 체계적 관리와 자료의 통합 연계에 어려움이 있다. 또한 기본법 성격을 지닌 "지하수법"에서도 지하수 관리 등에 대해 다른 법률에 특별한 규정이 있는 경우에는 해당 법률에 따르도록 규정하여(법 제4조), 합리적 제도 개선에 한계가 있다. "온천법" 등 타법에 의한 지하수 개발 이용관련 인허가 사항을 "지하수법"으로 일원화하여 기본법으로의 역할을 강화하고, 지역별 사업별 관리는 개별 계획을 수립하도록 하는 등 체계적인 지하수의 개발 보전 정책이 필요하다. 국내 지하수 사용은 주로 관정(管井) 개발을 통해 이루어지는데, 무분별한 신규 관정의 개발은 지하수 고갈, 지반침하(sink hole)와 더불어 지하수의 수질 악화를 야기할 수 있다. 관정 개발의 실패로 발생하는 실패공은 노후 관정 및 폐관정과 더불어 방치되는 경우가 많은데, 오염물질 유입으로 지하수를 오염시키는 주요 원인으로 작용한다. 오염된 지하수는 지표수에 비하여 수질을 복원하는데 오랜 시일과 노력이 필요하므로, 사용하지 않는 불용공(不用孔)을 원상 복구하는 등 지하수의 개발에서 사후조치에 이르기까지의 체계적인 관리가 필요하다. 국토교통부는 지하수에 대한 체계적인 관리를 위해, '지하수 기초조사', '지하수 수위변동 실태조사' 및 '지하수시설 전수조사'를 실시하고 있다. 그런데 지하수 기초조사는 "지하수법" 제5조에 근거하여 1997년부터 실시되고 있으나, 예산 및 인력 부족 등으로 20여년이 지난 지금까지도 조사가 마무리되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 한편 지하수 수위변동 실태조사는 "지하수법" 제17조 등에 근거하여 시행되고 있는 반면, 지하수시설 전수조사는 근거 법률이 마련되어 미비하다. 지하수시설 전수조사는 전국의 모든 관정, 집수정(集水井), 지하댐(underground dam) 등의 지하수 시설을 대상으로 실시되므로, 조사의 방법, 대상, 시행 절차 및 주기 등에 대한 규정 마련을 통해 관련 자료를 지속적으로 보완 관리할 필요가 있다.

Since about 70 percent of the territory is mountainous, more tunnels are constructed in Korea for maximizing the development efficiency. With the increasing number of tunnel construction, safe construction in tunnels has been emerged as the utmost important subject. Recently, the number of long tunnel construction is steeply increased because of the request for high speed and straight road. In this study, a safe tunneling method using numerical modeling of rock blocks in long tunnels is proposed, and then applied to the long tunnel based on real discontinuity information observed in situ. It is possible to detect key blocks all along the tunnel exactly by using the numerical analysis program developed for the safe tunneling method using numerical modeling of rock blocks. This computer simulation method with user-friendly interfaces can calculate not only the stability of rock blocks but also the design of supplementary supports.

Recently, the interest in integrated underground geospatial information mapping (IUGIM) to ensure the safety of underground spaces and facilities has been increasing. Because IUGIM is used in the fields of underground space development and underground safety management, the up-to-dateness and accuracy of information are critical. In this study, IUGIM and field data were classified, and the accuracy of IUGIM was improved by spatial interpolation. A spatial interpolation technique was used to process borehole data in IUGIM, and a quantitative evaluation was performed with mean absolute error and root mean square error through the cross-validation of seven interpolation results according to the technique and model. From the cross-validation results, accuracy decreased in the order of nonuniform rational B-spline, Kriging, and inverse distance weighting. In the case of Kriging, the accuracy difference according to the variogram model was insignificant, and Kriging using the spherical variogram exhibited the best accuracy.
