서울지하철 터널의 상당 구간이 막장면이 풍화토에서 풍화암까지 변화하는 복합화강토지반에 건설되어 왔다. 화강암풍화지반은 심도에 따라 강도의 변화가 크며, 수위가 높고 투수성 지반인 특징을 갖는다. 터널은 주로 비원형 배수터널로 설계되고 NATM 공법으로 시공되었다. 이와 같은 여건의 터널현장에서 발생하였던 붕괴사례를 조사한 결과, 대부분의 붕괴가 터널 어깨 부근으로부터 시작되었고, 구조적으로 완전하지 않은 라이닝, 그리고 지하수와의 연관성 등의 공통적 특징이 확인되었다. 이러한 터널문제는 지반조건, 시공조건, 터널형상 등 경계조건이 복잡하여 한계평형 해석과 같은 종래의 해석적 방법으로 터널안정을 검토하기가 용이하지 않다. 그 가장 큰 이유중의 하나는 터널의 파괴메카니즘에 대한 분명한 정보를 알 수 없는데 있다. 파괴메카니즘의 조사에는 전통적으로 원심모형시험법이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 화강토지반내의 터널처럼 복잡한 경계조건을 갖는 터널문제에는 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 이에 대한 하나의 대안으로서 본 논문에서는 지반거동의 비선형성을 고려하는 Coupled 수치해석법을 이용하여 파괴메카니즘을 조사하였다. 수치해석결과의 증분변위벡터, 누적소성편차변형률 그리고 속도특성치(velocity characteristics)의 분석을 통해 실제 붕괴사례와 잘 일치하는 명확한 파괴메카니즘을 파악할 수 있었다. 이로부터 복잡한 경계조건을 갖는 터널 문제의 안정해석을 위한 파괴메카니즘을 조사하는 수치해석적 접근방법을 제시하였다.

This paper studies the time-dependent behaviors of tunnel and surrounding ground due to tunnel deterioration. In the first part, the literature on deterioration characteristics of tunnels was reviewed. In the second part, a numerical analysis was performed to investigate the behavior of concrete lining on the typical section of Korean high-speed rail tunnel (weathered rock) after determination of input variables related to deterioration impact. The result shows that the settlement at the crown of tunnel and surface ground increased up to 7.0% and 30.2% of the total settlements during construction stage, respectively, and the internal convergence reduction of 9.0 mm for concrete linings was generated within 30 years after completion of tunnel construction. Also the loosening height increased up to 2.55 times of tunnel height within 50 years, which is higher than that of Terzaghi's recommendation on ultimate state. Due to this process of extending zones, it is found that additional loads were applied to concrete lining with the axial stress about 3.20~3.66 MPa, which accelerates tunnel deterioration. Finally the quantitative design approach to evaluate time-dependent behavior of lining and surrounding ground due to tunnel deterioration was proposed.

The cavity behind the tunnel lining, caused by overbrake, might be cause a severe instability during tunnel construction. So backfill grouting is essentially required. GPR(Ground penetrating Radar) is widely used to identify the position and size of the cavity and to verify the effect of the backfill grouting. In this study, GPR survey with 450 MHz antenna was implied to access the effect of the backfill grouting before and after the work to the crown part of ○○ tunnel in Seoul respectively. The result of GPR survey conducted before the backfill, was revealed that cavities behind the lining were existed in the areas of 8 spans. Finally, from the GPR survey implied after backfilling, it was turned out that backfill grouting was successfully carried out. Also, GPR survey was ascertained the better contact between lining and rock base at arrangement of bar span.

Utilization of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been increased as an alternative in a bid to supplement the problems with general construction materials such as long-term problems corrosion, etc. However, there are still many problems in using a linear-shaped FRP material for a tunnel lining structure which has arch-shape in general. In this study, the loading tests for the FRP-concrete composite member was carried out to evaluate their applicability as a tunnel reinforcement material, which are based on the results from preliminary numerical studies for identifying the behavioral characteristics of FRP-concrete composite member. Moreover, numerical analysis under the same condition as applied in the loading tests was again conducted for analysis of mechanical behavior of the composite member. As a result of the load test and numerical analysis, it appears that the FRP-concrete composite member is greatly subject to shear movement caused by bending tension acting on the interface between two constituent members.

Two evaluation techniques of the tunnel lining concrete using ultra sonic velocity method are developed. Modified linear regression technique is proposed to enhance the corelation between the pulse velocity and the compressive strength of core specimens. And bivariate normal distribution is assumed to evaluate the quality of concrete as a terms of compressive strength. A simple corelation table between the pulse velocity and the compressive strength of core specimens are proposed.

The studies were carried out to process one cycle for a day to the large section tunnel lining concrete. Climatic characteristics of the tunnel inside are changed, when the temperature of the concrete placement is low, the mold remove time is increased that the heat of hydration speed be delayed because affects the strength development, to compensate for this, after installing the curing sheet on both sides of the steel form and installation of tunnel entrance, when it comes to providing the additional heat source of $28{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ therein, it was to be achieved early strength development control standards (4.5MPa) presented as a crack control scheme or more, thus, It was able to remove after age of 14hr from mold. On the other hand, under the conditions of $10{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ that a natural curing temperature in the tunnel, it was analyzed must ensure the curing time of 36hr or more after concrete placement. Throughout this study, the concrete strength development and the temperature in the early-age concrete, it can find that reverify the curing temperature is greatly affected, even concrete fly ash is mixed 10%, if it is possible to raise the surface temperature for a predetermined time, is not a problem in the early strength development.

For minimizing the effect on the focus of civil traffic and environment conditions related to the excavation at the traffic jamming points, an underground station tunnel was planned with 35.5 m in length and bigger area than $200\;m^2$ in sedimentary rock mass. It faced the case that the overburden was just under 13 m. Not based on a pattern design but on the case histories of similar projects and arching effect, the design of large section tunnel under shallow overburden was investigated on three design subjects which are shape effect on the section area, application method of support pressure, and supporting and tunnel safety. According to the mechanical effect from section shape, a basic design and a preliminary design was obtained, and then supporting method of large section was planned by the supporting of NATM and a pipe roof method for subsidence prevention and mechanical stability. From the comparative study between both designs, it was found that the basic design was suitable and acceptable for the steel alignment of tunnel lining, safety and the design parameter restricted by the limit considered as partition of the excavation facilities. Through the analysis result of preliminary design showing the mechanical stability without stress concentration in tunnel arch level, it also was induced that shape effect of the large section area and yielding load obtained from deformation zone in the surrounding rock mass of tunnel have to be considered as major topics for the further development of design technique on the large section tunnel.

The construction cost for the single shell tunnel is cheaper than that of the double shell tunnel according to the case studies performed in several domestic and foreign tunnels. However, the economic advantage of single shell tunnel drops drastically as the condition of the rock mass deteriorates. Therefore, the single shell tunnelling method should be applied to the good rock mass conditions. The application of the single shell tunnelling method to tunnels in Korea should be determined considering the ratio between the good rock and poor rock masses along the tunnel section. The use of the single shell tunnel is expected to offend depending on the cheap supply of high quality shotcrets and rock bolts developed for single shell tunnels.
