본 논문에서는 2002년도에 KT에서 개발한 내경 1,000mm의 무인통신구를 건설 할 수 있는 마이크로터널링 장비에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 개발된 장비는 3D 기법을 이용한 최첨단 기법을 통하여 개발되었으며, 소형 굴진기의 취약점인 장애물 돌파능력을 보완하기 위하여 막장으로 진입이 가능한 구조로 되어있다. 따라서 굴진 중 장애물에 직면했을 경우 막장을 통하여 장애물을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며, 이 막장 진입통로를 이용하여 면판의 비트와 롤러커터를 교체할 수 있으므로 장거리 굴진이 가능하다. 그리고 굴진작업 시 필요한 원압잭과 후방설비인 Desander, 송 배니펌프등의 주변설비를 Operating Room에서 통합관리 할 수 있는 터널링 관리시스템을 개발하여 적용함으로써 보다. 효율적인 굴진관리를 수행할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이렇게 개발된 장비와 시스템은 시험 시공을 통해 그 성능을 확인하였으며, 여기서 그 개발 과정 및 시험 시공 결과에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

The first TBM introduced in Korea was the gripper TBM, which was applied to the Gudeok Waterway Tunnel in 1985. In the initial stage of the introduction of the gripper TBM, many applications were mainly focused on waterway tunnels (Tunnel Mechanized Construction Design, 2008). Currently, the construction range of gripper TBM in Korea is widely applied to not only waterway tunnels, but also subways, railway tunnels, and TBM+NATM expansion. Overseas, gripper TBM is generally applied, and even when NATM tunnel is applied, it is applied as an exploration tunnel because of the excellent advance rate of gripper TBM and used as an evacuation tunnel after completion. Due to the fast excavation speed, the application of the gripper TBM in the rock section of weathered rock or higher can minimize the environmental and civil complaints caused by creating a large number of work areas when planning long tunnels or mountain tunnels. In this study, the work process of the general gripper TBM was analyzed by analyzing the construction cycle and the gripper TBM with a diameter of 2.6~5.0 m, which was applied the most in Korea. Downtime was investigated and analyzed.

In the present study, a face safety monitoring system was developed that will enable judging collapse risks on faces during tunnel construction to secure workers' safety. This system enables detecting abnormal behaviors of faces by analyzing the displacement of faces measured in real time using the x-MR control chart technique. In addition, an algorithm to judge false alarms was developed so that abnormal behaviors of faces and errors occurring in the process of work can be distinguished from each other by comparing the number of measured values exceeding the management criteria and moving range k. The results of the present study are applicable to real-time monitoring of behavior on the face in dangerous ground sections to minimize damage to workers.

Tunnel modelling in the field of geotechnical engineering essentially requires models of tunnelling machines and the simulation of tunnelling processes to clarify the detailed behaviour of tunnel construction. Modern advanced mechatronics, including construction processes, machinining and control technologies, are making it possible to fabricate such models. These technologies, however, are essentially developed in a gravity field condition and are needed to examine in a 1g or cenrifuge field condition. This paper presents the simulation method for tunnelling processes and the design method for tunnelling machines with special reference to the problem of earth pressure acting on the lining of a shield tunnel. The paper then introduces and verifies the design method for tunnelling machines in the 1g field by means of checking the reproduceability of experiment data and their comparison with data in the field.

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.

The shield tunneling method can minimize surface settlements by preventing the deformation of tunnel face and tunnel intrados due to tunnel excavation. For this purpose, it is very important to control the operating conditions of shield TBM. The face pressure and backfill pressure for tail void grouting should be the most important and immediate measure not only to restrain surface settlement, but also to influence the effective stress and pore water pressure around the circumstance of tunnel during excavation. The reaction of the ground to the application of face pressure and backfill pressure relies on the stiffness and permeability of ground. Especially, the reaction of saturated clayey ground formations, which shows the time-dependent deformation, is different from the permeable ground. Hence, in this paper it was investigated how the TBM operating conditions, ground stiffness, and permeability impact on the surface settlement of saturated clayey ground. For this purpose, a series of parametric studies were carried out by means of the stress-pore water pressure coupled FE analysis. The results show that the settlement of soft clayey ground is divided into the immediate settlement and consolidation settlement. Especially, the consolidation settlement depends on the ground stiffness and permeability. In addition, the existence of critical face pressure and backfill pressure was identified. The face pressure and backfill pressure above the critical value may cause an unexpected increase in the ground settlement.

Prediction of TBM performance is very important for machine selection, and for reliable estimation of construction cost and period. The purpose of this research is to analyze the evaluation process of various prediction models for TBM performance and applied methodology. Based on the solid literature review since 2000, a classification system of TBM performance prediction model is proposed in this study. Classification system suggested in this study can be divided into two stages: selection of input parameter and application of prediction techniques. We also analyzed input and output parameters for prediction model and frequency of use. Lastly, the future research and development trend of TBM performance prediction is suggested.

In recent years, Shield TBM construction has been continuously increasing in domestic tunnels. The main excavation tool in the shield TBM construction is a disc cutter which naturally wears during the excavation process and significantly degrades the excavation efficiency. Therefore, it is important to know the appropriate time of the disc cutter replacement. In this study, it is proposed a predictive model that can determine yes/no of disc cutter replacement using machine learning algorithm. To do this, the shield TBM machine data which is highly correlated to the disc cutter wears and the disc cutter replacement from the shield TBM field which is already constructed are used as the input data in the model. Also, the algorithms used in the study were the support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor algorithm, and decision tree algorithm are all classification methods used in machine learning. In order to construct an optimal predictive model and to evaluate the performance of the model, the classification performance evaluation index was compared and analyzed.

A method that can predict the mixed-ground condition ahead of a TBM tunnel face during tunnel construction utilizing electrical resistivity and induced polarization (IP) was proposed in this study. Effect of TBM advancement approaching the mixed-ground condition (composed of soil layer overlying rock layer) when currently running through soil zone on the electrical resistivity and IP measuring was assessed with laboratory-scale experiments. The resistivity and IP values were measured using four electrodes, by installing two electrodes on the tunnel face (at the cutterhead), and the other two electrodes on the segment lining. The test results showed that both of the measured resistivity and IP values were kept increasing as the TBM is approaching the soil-rock mixed-ground. Also, to get the more reliable results for predicting the mixed-ground condition, it was recommended that the measurement is made at the tunnel face utilizing 4-electrodes installed at the cutterhead as well as it is made utilizing the 2-electrodes installed at the segment lining along with the 2-electrodes installed on the tunnel face (at the cutterhead) so that two measured results are compared each other.
