In this study, a new concept for simulating a physical damage of tunnel shotcrete lining due to a long-term chemical deterioration has been proposed. It is known that the damage takes place mainly by internal cracks, reduction of stiffness and strength, which results mainly from volume expansion of the lining and corrosion of cement materials, respectively. This damage mechanism of shotcrete lining appears similar in most kinds of chemical reactions in tunnels. Therefore, the mechanical deterioration mechanism induced by a series of chemical reactions was generalized in this study and mathematically formulated in the framework of thermodynamics. The numerical model was implemented to a 3D finite element code, which can be used to simulate behaviour of tunnel structures undergoing external loads as well as chemical deterioration in time. A number of illustrative examples were given to show a feasibility of the model in tunnel designs.

본 연구에서는 지열 에너지원으로써 터널 내부 벽면의 항온성을 이용하여 터널 외벽에 텍스타일 형태의 열교환기를 설치하고 열적 거동을 평가하였다. 터널의 라이닝 부분에서는 여러 가지 요인에 의해 지하수가 터널 내부로 유입하게 되므로 지하수의 유무에 대한 열적 거동 및 유동액의 순환 속도에 따른 영향, 열교환 파이프 배열 형태에 따른 영향을 현장 시험 시공과 현장 열응답시험을 통하여 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 3-D 유한체적해석 프로그램(FLUENT)을 이용하여 숏크리트와 라이닝의 열전도도를 고려한 열교환기의 성능을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과 열교환 파이프 주변에 지하수의 흐름이 존재할 경우 열전달이 상대적으로 더 원활히 이루어졌으며 순환속도가 빠를 때 보다 느릴수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 파이프의 간격이 넓을수록, 파이프의 길이가 길수록 효율이 높게 나타났다. 라이닝 및 숏크리트의 열전도도가 증가함에 따라 에너지 텍스타일의 열전달 효율이 높게 나타났다. 현장 시험을 통해 비슷한 길이의 파이프가 사용된 경우, 파이프 배열 형태에 따라 수평형보다는 수직형 배열의 효율이 높게 측정되었다.

In a shotcrete support system, the cooperation of the ground and the shotcrete lining makes it possible to transfer the shear stress to the shotcrete lining, which is dedicated to form a stable structure. In this study, a homogeneous model ground with constant strength was produced by using gypsum and the tunnel was excavated with a top heading method under the definite initial stress. During the excavation, the stress in the ground around the tunnel and the deformation of shotcrete lining were measured, The tensile stress was generated in tangential direction in the ground near the tunnel and in the shotcrete lining due to tunnel excavation. This shows the unified behavior of the ground and shotcrete lining, which is the most typical characteristic of the shotcrete support. As a result, the rates of in-situ stress during the excavation at a top boundary line was 9% and at top arch heading 15%. It was 48% right after excavating the heading and 94% before cutting the bench.

A concrete lining of NATM tunnel is the final product of a process that involves planning and evaluation of user needs, geotechnical investigations, analysis of ground-lining interaction, construction, and observations and modifications during construction. The designer must consider the lining in context of the many function, construction, and geotechnical requirements. Also, the loss of supporting capacity of shotcrete lining due to poor rock qualities and shotcrete erosion must be considered. The values, shapes, and estimating methods of rock load and water pressure are very different with every designers. Estimating methods of rock loads used in the design of NATM tunnel concrete lining are investigated. Structural analyses are done in various load combinations, and the member forces(moment, axial force and shear force) are compared. The adequate load combination of rock load and water pressure is proposed.

The field measurements on the shotcrete lining are usually performed during the tunnel construction. However, the credibility of the measurements is not certain because of the non-stress related strains occurring in the shotcrete, the uncertainty of the deformation modulus of the shotcrete, and the intrinsic difficulties involved in the strain measurements in the shotcrete. The problem related to the field measurements on the shotcrete is investigated using the review of the previous studies and the field measurement performed for this study. A method for the correction of stress measurements at the shotcrete lining, considering the non-stress related strains, is suggested using the literature review and the actual measurements obtained from the non-stress shotcretes. The deformation modulus used for the calculation of the stress acting on the shotcrete is also suggested.
