Unlike a conventional railway system, a high-speed rail system experiences various aerodynamic problems in tunnel sections. Trains running at a high speed in a small tunnel, when compared with the open field, face significant air pressure, resulting in reduced operating stability and fast change in pressure inside the tunnel. These phenomena further cause some unexpected problems such as the passengers onboard feeling an aural discomfort and an impulsive noise at the tunnel exit. To solve these problems, this paper introduces analysis of aerodynamic characteristics for determination of tunnel cross section. The optimum cross-section that satisfies the criteria of aural discomfort was reviewed through lots of numerical simulation analysis. Also, the pressure inside the passenger car of a train operating on Kyungbu HSR line was measured, and the pressure inside the tunnel and the micro-pressure waves at tunnel exit were measured at Hwashin 5 Tunnel. At the same time, a test of train operation model was performed and then the measurement results and test results were compared to verify that various parameters used as input conditions for the numerical simulations were appropriate.

A crack is the main cause to affect the integrity of tunnel lining as well as leakage, spalling, exposed rebar, corrosion, carbonation and so on. Since the 1980, NATM has prevailed on excavation method and geotechnical philosophy in tunnel. Although the pattern of cracks has been reported by several engineers' effort, it was only focused on longitudinal cracks of lining. Eleven operational NATM tunnels have been conducted with the precise inspection for safety and diagnosis by KISTEC (Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Incorporation). With those results, the crack patterns by the spatial distribution and appearance for each tunnel have been analyzed and the cause of occurrence for seven common types of cracks in NATM tunnels was classified. Additionally, the longitudinal crack on lining above duct slab was figured out by numerical simulation and field inspection. Each crack has been analyzed by CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) scanner image with 3D configuration. Each type of cracks is also explained with output of experimental and condition of construction. Defined cracks on NATM tunnels will be good example for periodical inspection and precise inspection for safety and diagnosis.

When back analysis is used for the assessment of an operating subsea tunnel safety in various measurement information such as stress, water pressure and tunnel lining and ground stiffness degradation, the reliable results within tolerable error rate can be obtained. By utilizing a commercial geotechnical analysis program FLAC3D, back analysis can be performed with a DEA which has already been successfully validated in previous studies. However, relative more time-consumption is the drawback of this approach. For this reason, this study introduced beam-spring model-based on FEM solver which uses less analysis time relatively. Beam-spring program capable of structural analysis of a circular tunnel section was developed by using Python language and combined with the built-DEA. From the measurement datum, expected to estimate the stability of an operation tunnel close to real-time.

The construction of subsea tunnel differs from that of inland tunnel because of high water pressure due to sea water level and difficulties to reinforce the ground under construction. Therefore, it is very important to prevent trouble in advance when the subsea tunnel is constructed. In this paper, we established lots of databases about characteristics of geological and mechanical parameters on the construction of subsea tunnel using micro slurry TBM which depth is about 60 m. The correlation analysis is conducted to confirm the effect of thrust, torque and RPM among the excavation database on the net penetration rate. Also, An empirical formula is suggested to predict the net penetration rate through the correlation analysis between FPI (Field Penetration Index) and specific energy from the subsea tunnel excavation database.

Although it is important to reflect the accurate information of the ground condition in the tunnel design, the analysis and design are conducted by limited information because it is very difficult to consider various geographies and geotechnical conditions. When the tunnel is under construction, examination of accurate safety and prediction of behavior are overcome the limits of predicting behavior by Artificial Neural Network in this study. First, construct the suitable structure after the data of field was made sure by the multi-layer back propagation, then apply with algorithm. Employ the result of measured data from database, and consider the influence factor of tunnel, like supporting pattern, RMR, Q, the types of rock, excavation length, excavation shape, excavation over, to carry out the reliable analysis through field applicability of Artificial Neural Network. After studying, using the ANN model to predict the shearing displacement, convergence displacement, underground displacement, Rock bolt output follow the excavation over of tunnel construction field, then determine the field applicability with ANN through field measured value and comparison analysis when tunnel is being constructed.

Washed wastewater generated from the intermittent cleaning process of the three tunnel sites located in the Seoul area showed high concentrations of SS, $COD_{Cr}$, T-N, $NH_3-N$, $NO_3-N$, Zn, Cu, Cr(+6), Mn, Mg, Phenol, $CN^-$ and E-Coli based on the water quality analysis. These characteristics of the deteriorative wastewater depend on the sampling method, cleaning frequency, released amount of washing water, inner material of tunnel wall, traffic volume, and type of drainage systems. Gravitational separation experiment of SS with collected tunnel wastewater showed considerable removal of pollutants such as 80% of $COD_{Cr}$, 30% of T-N and 90% of T-P simultaneously. GAC isotherm test was conducted to remove dissolved portion of the pollutants, and resulted in high removal efficiencies above 80% of $COD_{Cr}$, T-N, Zn, Cu, Mn, Phenol, CN in the experimental condition of GAC dosage of $50g/1/{\ell}$.

In this study, we carried out investigation and analysis on damages in tunnels on order to provide the basic information for the safety assessment of tunnels and to minimize the potential damage of the same kind as investigated. The frequencies of occurrence in terms of 4 items, i.e., service life interval, type of the damage, cause of the damage, and geological condition, were examined and summarized based on 44 foreign and domestic cases of tunnel damages. Also, we carried out a survey research of which the content included 28 questions on the tunnel safety assessment. The answers collected from domestic experts in tunneling suggested that the most probable cause of the tunnel damages was cracking in tunnels at 42~58%. They also suggested that the poor constrution work strongly caused the damages. Therefore, to ensure tunnel safety, high quality of constrution should be maintained as examined. The types of damage and their extent of influence on the overall tunnel safety are of practical importance to be used in the artficial intelligent system for tunnel safety assessment.

기후변화 및 도시화로 인해 도시 내에서 증가하는 홍수로 인명 및 재산피해가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 특히 2022년 8월 8일 서울특별시 및 경기도 지역에 내린 폭우로 인해 8명 이상의 인명피해와 1300억원 이상의 재산피해가 발생하였다. 이러한 도시홍수를 근본적으로 방어하기 위하여 미국, 일본 등의 국가에서는 대심도 빗물저류배수터널을 활용하고 있다. 국내에서도 2011년 서울특별시 강서구 및 양천구에 발생하는 홍수를 방어하기 위하여 국내 최초 대심도 빗물저류배수터널인 '신월 빗물저류배수시설'을 건설하여 현재 운영 중에 있다. 대심도 빗물저류배수터널은 초기 개수로 흐름에서 만관 후 관수로 흐름으로 전이되는 구조물로 계획과 운영이 매우 어려운 시설이다. 이에 미국, 일본, 중국, 이탈리아 등 국가에서 대심도 빗물저류배수터널과 관련한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대심도 빗물저류배수터널의 유입시설 중 감세부에 해당하는 수직갱과 감세지의 깊이에 따른 감세지 바닥 압력변화를 알아보기 위하여 수리실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 감세지 깊이가 깊어질수록 바닥면의 압력이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었으며 바닥면의 압력이 감세지 깊이만큼의 정수압을 포함하는 경우 정수압 대비 최대 2.0배, 정수압을 포함하지 않는 경우 정수압 대비 최대 1.0배 인 것으로 분석되었다. 수직갱 깊이에 대한 실험 결과는 수직갱 깊이가 짧아질수록 압력이 감소하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 분석되었는데 이는 회전수 및 회전력과 관련 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 수직갱 직경, 수직갱 깊이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요한 것판단되며 이를 통하여 수직갱 깊이-감세지 깊이에 대한 정량적인 연구와 분석을 통해 경제적이고 안정적인 대심도 빗물저류배수터널 감세지 설계가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, requirement of a long subsea tunnel has increased due to political, economical and social demands such as saving of distribution costs, improvement of traffic convenience, and regional development. Road and railroad tunnel need a shaft for construction and ventilation because of increase of tunnel length. Shaft diameter, lining sectional thickness and rebar quantity have to be determined for design of concrete lining in the shaft. A lot of structural analyses are needed for optimal design of concrete lining considering shaft diameter, load conditions and ground conditions. Design charts are proposed by structural analyses for various conditions in this study. A sectional thickness and rebar quantity can be easily determined using the proposed design charts.
