It is very important to study on the structural behaviors of structurally damaged tunnel linings. A series of centrifuge model tests were performed in order to investigate different behaviors of tunnel linings. A 1/100-scaled aluminum horseshoe tunnel linings with a radius 5 cm, height 8 cm were buried in a depth with dry Joomunjin standard sand, the relative density of which was 86%. Such sectional forces as bending moments and thrusts along the tunnel circumference were measured by twelve strain gages. Earth pressures in soil mass and on the outside of lining model were estimated by pressure transducers, ground surface settlements at a center and edges by using LVDTs.

Recently, tunneling projects using shield TBM are increasing in Korea, but the information of client for machine design and manufacturing considering the characteristics of the tunneling phase is not formal, and it is difficult to optimized machine for suitable tunneling works. This paper suggest as for reference the required terms that can be used in Korea on the design items and detailed requirements for ordering of EPB shield TBM based on overseas case study. It would be hope that the TBM user can request the overall tunneling plan and required machine specification when ordering TBM, and the TBM supplier can design and manufacturing that is clear condition and suitable machine for the successful project, so that there are no residential civil complaints and for safe tunneling as well, shield TBM tunneling method will be activated.

도심지에서의 터널은 주로 얕은 토층비에서 이루어진다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 토층비 1, 2 정도의 얕은 터널에 대한 터널시공을 고려하였다. 또한, 도심지 얕은 터널에서 겪게 되는 어려움 중 하나인 지상구조물의 손상을 방지하는 것이다. 이러한 경우, 구조물의 손상을 방지하기 위해 소형장비로 간단하고 저렴한 시공이 가능한 마이크로 파일공법의 채택이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 파일의 설치위치와 설치각도 및 두부 고정도를 달리한 실험을 실시하여 토압 및 지표면 침하를 중심으로 그 영향을 평가하였다. 마이크로 파일의 설치위치에 있어서 거리비(A/L$_{p}$) 0.5 이내에서 침하감소면에서 대략 22%~37% 정도의 효과가 있었으며, 마이크로 파일의 두부는 파일간 서로 결속하는 것이 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 경향은 토압분포에서도 마찬가지이다.다.

To design segment lining, loads such as self weight, vertical load, horizontal load, ground reaction, water pressure, backfill grouting pressure et al. have to be considered. Earth pressure and water pressure are the major factor to design segment lining such as concrete strength, segment thickness and amount of rebar et al. To analysis earth pressure and water pressure acting on segment lining, filed monitoring and back analysis are performed in this study.

Since tunnels are linear type structures that have a long extent in comparison to their excavation or inner section, tunnels must be constructed in various ground conditions. In this study, laboratory model tests and theoretical analysis on a tunnel loads are carried out in the unconsolidated ground with inclined layers for tunnel excavation. Laboratory model tests are performed with the variation in the angle of the inclined layers and tunnel depth for the model ground with inclined layers. As for the ground materials, two dimensional model ground is prepared with aluminum rods and blocks with no cohesion, which are frictional resistance free between testing apparatus walls and ground materials, by establishing the ground materials self-supporting. Moreover tunnel load equation are newly induced so that comparisons between model test results and the theoretical results are conducted as well.

Lots of shallow tunnels are constructed in the mountainous areas where the stress distribution in the ground around tunnel is not simple, also the impact of stress conditions on the longitudinal load transfer characteristics is unclear. The tunnel construction methods and the ground conditions would also affect the longitudinal load transfer characteristics which would be dependant on the displacement patterns of tunnel face. Therefore, in this study, the slope of the ground surface was varied in $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and the longitudinal load transfer depended on the deformation conditions of tunnelface (that were maximum deformation on the top, constant deformation, and maximum deformation on the bottom), and the stress distribution at tunnelface. As results, when the tunnelface deformed, the earth presure on the tunnelface decreased and the load at tunnel crown increased. The load transferred on the crown was influenced by the earth presure on tunnel face. Smaller load would be transfered to the wide areas when the slope of ground surface decreased. When the slope of ground surface became larger, the longitudinal load transfer would be smaller and would be concentrated on tunnelface, In addition, the shape of the transferred load distribution in the longitudinal direction was dependant on the deformation shape of tunnelface. The deformation shape of tunnelface and stress conditions in longitudinal sections would affect the shape and the magnitude of the load transfer in the longitudinal directions.

NATM 터널에 작용하는 토압(이완하중)의 크기는 지형조건, 지질조건등에 따라 다르므로 정량적으로 산정하기에는 다소 어려움이 있으며, 실무적으로 Terzaghi(1946)가 제안한 암반의 이완하중을 적용하고 있다. Terzaghi 암반이완하중은 지형상 저토피, 편경사등을 고려하기에는 다소 무리가 있고 특히, 설계시 시공중 공용후 터널에 편토압이 작용한다고 예측하는 것은 더욱 어렵다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저토피 편경사지형에서 터널의 문제점 보강대책방안에 대하여 종합 검토하였으며, 실제 지형상 저토피, 편경사를 이루나 암질이 양호하다고 판단되어 아칭 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 예상되는 터널이 굴착과정중 설계시 추정된 지반조건과 상이하여 터널지보재(숏크리트)의 균열 및 이상 변위가 발생된 터널에서 보강대책방안으로 인버트폐합을 실시하여 안정된 터널굴착을 할 수 있었던 사례를 소개하고 저토피 편경사 지형에서 NATM 터널의 설계 시공시 유의사항에 대하여 검토하였다.

The adequate control of TBM face pressure is of vital importance to maintain face stability by preventing face collapse and surface settlement. An EPB shield TBM excavates the ground by applying face pressure with the excavated soil in the pressure chamber. One of the challenges during the EPB shield TBM operation is the control of face pressure due to difficulty in managing the excavated soil. In this study, the face pressure of an EPB shield TBM was predicted using the geological and operational data acquired from a domestic TBM tunnel site. Four machine learning algorithms: KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors), SVM (Support Vector Machine), RF (Random Forest), and XGB (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) were applied to predict the face pressure. The model comparison results showed that the RF model yielded the lowest RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) value of 7.35 kPa. Therefore, the RF model was selected as the optimal machine learning algorithm. In addition, the feature importance of the RF model was analyzed to evaluate appropriately the influence of each feature on the face pressure. The water pressure indicated the highest influence, and the importance of the geological conditions was higher in general than that of the operation features in the considered site.

In the deign of cut and cover tunnel, the structural analysis such as rigid frame analysis has been used for its simplicity and convenience. The structural analysis, however, can not consider the geological and geotechnical factors such as soil arching effect. In this study, the dominant factors influencing the behavior of cut and cover tunnel such as interface element, slope of excavation plane, distance between slope and tunnel lining, and location of slope of covered soil, were investigated by the numerical analysis to develop the analysis technique and design technology. Based on the results, the variation of bending moment, shear stress, axial force and displacements were evaluated and analyzed for each factor.
