This study analyzed ground settlement and ground stress depending on tunnel excavation and the ground reinforcing grouting methods for double line road tunnel through deep weathered zone. Diameter of double line road tunnel was approximately 12m and umbrella arch method and side wall reinforcing grouting were applied. The ring-cut split excavation method and CD-cut excavation method for excavation method were applied. Analyses of failure rate and vertical stress ratio show that the tunnel for which the height of the cover (H) was higher than four times the diameter, can be considered a deep tunnel. Comparisons of various excavation and ground reinforcement methods showed that CD-cut method results in lower surface and crown settlement, and lower failure rate than that obtained by Ring-cut split method. In addition, the side wall reinforcing grouting resulted in reduction of tunnel displacement and settlement.

Pre-reinforcement ahead of a tunnel face using long steel or FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) pipes in NATM(New Austrian Tunnelling Method), known as the RPUM(Reinforced Protective Umbrella Method) or UAM (Umbrella Arch Method), is the promising method to sustain the stability of a shallow tunnel face and reduce the ground settlements. In addition, horizontal reinforcing of the face is recently emphasized to improve the stability of the face. However, the characteristics on longitudinal arching around the face have not yet been established quantitatively with the RPUM (crown-reinforcing) and/or the face horizontal reinforcing. In this study, therefore, the behavior of cohesionless soil around the face reinforced by the reinforcing member representing the RPUM and horizontal reinforcing is investigated through two-dimensional laboratory model tests. A series of tests were carried out on various conditions by changing lengths and angles of the reinforcing members. Based on the vertical pressure around the face, the characteristics of longitudinal arching have been found for the case of the non-reinforced and the reinforced.

On the road and rail tunnels, the evacuation pathway and facilities such as smoke-control and fire suppression system are essential in tunnel fire. In the long twin tunnels, the cross-connection tunnel is usually designed to evacuate from the tunnel where the fire broke out to the other tunnel. In twin shield tunnels, the segment lining has to be demolished to construct the cross-connection tunnel. Considering the modern shield TBM is mostly the closed chamber type, the exposure of underground soil induced by removal of steel segment lining is the most danger construction step in the shield tunnel construction. This case study introduces the excavation method using the thrust of large steel pipe and reviews the measured data after the construction. The large steel pipe thrust method for the cross-connection tunnel can stabilize the excavated face with the two mechanisms. Firstly, the soil in front of excavated face is cylindrically pre-supported by the large steel pipe. Secondly, the excavated face is supported by the plugging effect caused by the soil pressed into the steel pipe. It was reviewed that the large steel pipe thrust method in the cross-connection tunnel is enough to secure the construct ability and stability in soil from the measurement results about the deformation and stress of steel pipe.

In general, the stress is concentrated on the pillar of very near parallel tunnel (VNPT), and the pillar has been reinforced by using steel-wires to maintain the stability of the tunnel. However, since the strength of the pillar decreases in the soil layer, the reinforcing pillar with the steel-wires is insufficient for tunnel stability. In this study, the laboratory tunnel experiment was conducted to examine the reinforcement effect for a new method, of which the pillar of VNPT is strengthened by using steel-pipes. As a result, against overburden stress, the bearing capacity of the steel-pipe reinforcement was 22% greater than that of the steel-wire reinforcement. In using the Particle Image Velocimetry method, the analysis shows that the steel-pipe reinforcement forms a more favorable condition of which uniformly the overburden load acts on the VNPT and the pillar than the steel-wire reinforcement. Based on the results, the steel-pipe reinforcement is expected to bring a more positive effect on tunnel stability than the steel-wire reinforcement.

Effects of new tunnel construction on an existing tunnel are investigated in this paper. A parametric study was conducted on a number of conditions in terms of relative location of the new tunnel to the existing tunnel using 2D and 3D finite element models. The results indicated that the new tunnel construction imposes most severe effect on the existing tunnel's lining when located below the existing tunnel's springline for cases in which the new tunnel is constructed parallel to the existing tunnel. It is also revealed that the effect to the new tunnel construction is larger when the new tunnel is constructed under the existing tunnel than above for cases in which the new tunnel is crossed with the existing tunnel. Practical implications of the finding are discussed.

During enlarging an existing tunnel under operation, unexpected excessive overbreaks and large cavities around the tunnel were found. It was an issue that they might influence the stability the new tunnel. The overbreaks and cavities are assumed that they were attributed to excessive blasting under the condition of insufficient ground investigation. To enlarge the existing tunnel safely, therefore, a remedy measure for the overbreaks and cavities is suggested.

터널 설계시 일반적으로 지반조사와 물리탐사를 시행하여 지층에 따른 적절한 터널 지보패턴을 설정하고 있으나, 다양한 지반 및 지질특성과 설계단계에서 미쳐 발견되지 못한 단층등의 연약대로 인하여 시공시 터널내에서 종종 붕락사고가 발생하고 있다. 터널 굴착시 발생하는 붕락은 터널의 안정성 저하 및 공기 지연 등의 큰 문제점들을 발생시키므로 조기에 적절한 보강방안이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 터널 굴착시 발생한 두개의 붕락사고에 대해서 붕락원인과 붕괴유형을 파악하고 현장 여건에 맞는 신속한 보강대책을 제시하고 시공한 보강사례이다. 향 후 본 사례와 유사한 터널붕락사고가 발생할 경우 보강설계 및 보강방안을 계획.수립하는데 유용한 참고자료가 될 것이다.
