사암 및 이암을 기반암으로 하는 산악지역에 건설되는 2-아치 (2-arch) 터널의 거동을 터널설계 단계에서 분석하기 위하여 대규모 실내 모형실험을 실시하였다. 터널이 시공될 예정인 지반과 유사한 지질공학적 특성을 가지는 콘크리트 블록을 이용하여 모형지반을 조성하였다. 모형실험은 중앙터널 (pilot tunnel) 굴착을 포함한 여러 단계의 굴착과정으로 구분하여 실시되었다. 또한 터널 .공용기간 중 터널의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 터널굴착 완료 후 상재하중을 작용시켰다. 실험결과에 의하면 대부분의 지반변위는 중앙터널 굴착에 의해 발생했으며, 그 이후 터널 굴착단계에서의 변위발생은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대부분의 지중변위는 0.25D 이내의 범위에서 발생하였다. 여기서 D 는 터널의 폭이다. 한편 실험결과를 분석하여 경암에 시공되는 2-아치 터널의 중앙벽체(centre pillar)에 작용하는 하중에 대한 경험적인 공식을 제시하였다. 터널시공 완료 후 공용기간 중 상재하중이 작용할 경우 그 크기에 따라서는 터널굴착에 의해 발생한 것보다 더 큰 지중변위가 발생할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널의 거동은 중앙벽체의 강성에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 이를 터널설계에 반영하여 중앙벽체의 강성을 증가시켰다. 현재 터널시공을 위한 사전작업이 진행 중에 있으며, 터널의 굴착은 2005년 하반기에 실시될 예정이다.

Nationally, tunnel and underground constructions are necessary for the environmental sustainability and the efficient use of land space. For the importance of eco-friendly circumstances, 2-arch or large road tunnel has been designed so far. However, such a 2-arch or large tunnel has problems in terms of cost, constructability, construction period, and maintenance. Therefore, in this study, tunnel behavior and stability of rock pillar according to the pillar width and cover depth for parallel tunnels are investigated by performing FE analysis and using empirical formula. According to the results, Rock pillar is reinforced for distributed vertical load by Tie-Bolt due to unpredicted ground deformation, and the reinforced rock pillar's behaviour from the FE analysis shows a quite good agreement with field measurement. According to ground conditions, if the pillar width of the parallel tunnels is reduced, it can be more efficient in use of the tunnel space compared to previous tunnels.

In order to cope with ever growing traffic flow and complexity in the urban area, construction demands for expanding and realigning of existing urban roads and massive development of underground space within the urban area are in its increasing trend, it is fact that, mainly due to lack of statistical data accumulation through real construction, technology and construction practice to support such demands can hardly be said to have been established enough and leave many things still to be developed. These circumstances therefore came to motivate me to get into a study for a particular subject of "Design Basics for Closely Neighbored Twin Tunnel" among others, and also to put forward subjects required to be further studied in this connection in the future as follows: 1) To make a new economical design model for closely neighbored twin tunnel not only to make a drain for center perfect but also a tunnel construction safe. 2) Further efforts should be exerted for establishment of general standards for design and construction of various types of large cross-section tunnels including Twin structure.

In recent years, utilization of underground space has been increasing in various parts of the world. In particular, open-cut method is usually applied to the shallow depth excavation. However some problems such as extreme traffic congestion and unstability of adjacent structures etc. might occur. In order to cope with these problems, the M-CAM (Modified Cellular Arch Method) method was proposed to excavate soil tunnels at shallow depth with secured enough stability and minimized construction period. In this study, sensitivity analysis was performed to predict the influence of the size of CPW(Continuous Pile Wall) and ground conditions on the behavior of the tunnel. First of all, embedded depth and diameter (or thickness) of CPW, coefficient of lateral earth pressure, and ground conditions were selected as parameters that could affect tunnel stability. Meanwhile, FLAC 2D based on finite difference method was used for numerical analysis. As a result of this study, it was checked out that embedded depth among sizes of CPW had a greatest influence on the stability of a tunnel.

A Coanda foil is a high-lift generating device exploiting the phenomena that flow separation is delayed if a high-speed jet is applied tangential to the surface as well known to the aerodynamic fields. In the present study, a Coanda foil with a flap is investigated to seek the possibility of marine application. Model experiments are carried out both in a towing tank and cavitation tunnel and surface pressure distributions, forces and moments acting on the foil are measured at the various angle of attacks and flap angles. The results are also compared to the numerical ones to show good agreements. The results of the present study demonstrate the practical applicability of the Coanda foil in the design of ship control surfaces.

The excavation broken zones (EBZ) of gateways is a significant factor in determining the stability of man-made opening. The EBZ of 55 gateways with variety geological conditions were measured using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The results found that the greatly depth of EBZ, the smallest is 1.5 m and the deepest is 3.5 m. Experimental investigations were carried out in the laboratory and in the coal mine fields for applying the combined arch support theory to large EBZ. The studies found that resin bolts with high tensile strength and good bond force could provide high pretension force with bolt extensible anchorage method in the field. Furthermore, the recently invented torque amplifier could greatly improve the bolt pretension force in poor lithology. The FLAC3D numerical simulation found that the main diffusion sphere of pretension force was only in the free segment zone of the surrounding rock. Further analysis found that the initial load-bearing zone thickness of the combined arch structure in large EBZ could be expressed by the free segment length of bolt. The using of high mechanical property bolts and steel with high pretension force will clearly putting forward the bolt length selection rule based on the combined arch support theory.

In this paper, path loss characteristics in a curved subway tunnel are measured and analyzed. The measurement is carried out in the frequency bands of 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz. A directional antenna is employed for transmission and an omnidirectional antenna for reception. This measurement is performed in the subway tunnel in the vicinity of the Daejon station. The tunnel is curved and its cross section is arch-shaped. The path loss is measured with the location of the transmitter antenna fixed and the receiver antenna moving in the tunnel. The measured path loss ratio is about 0.1dBm/m. Also, the signal received from the antenna located on the outer side of curve in the tunnel experiences weaker path loss.

In this study, scaled model tests were performed to investigate the stability of twin tunnels constructed in anisotropic rocks with $30^{\circ}$ inclined bedding planes under the condition of lateral pressure ratio, 2. Five types of test models which had respectively different pillar widths and shapes of tunnel sections were experimented, where both crack initiating pressures and deformation behaviors around tunnels were investigated. The models with shallower pillar width showed shear failure of pillar according to the existing bedding planes and they were cracked under lower pressure than the models with thicker pillar width. In order to find the effect of tunnel sectional shape on stability, the models with four centered arch section, circular section and semi-circular arch section were experimented. As results of the comparison of the crack initiating pressures and the deformation behaviors around tunnels, the semi-circular arched tunnel model was the most unstable whereas the circular tunnel model was the most stable among them. Furthermore, the results of FLAC analysis were qualitatively coincident with the experimental results.

To investigate major influencing factors on earth pressure acting on an arch-shaped cut and cover tunnel, Monte Carlo simulation based quantitative sensitivity analysis was carried out for mechanical properties of ground as well as excavation configuration-related design factors. From the sensitivity analysis, it was intended that effects of earth pressures from different influencing factors on a cut and cover tunnel should be numerically identified. Output factors used in the sensitivity analysis such as vertical and horizontal earth pressures at different tunnel positions were obtained from the finite element analysis. In this study, it was revealed that depending upon positions where horizontal as well as vertical earth pressures were acting, they were differently influenced by the same input factors. In addition, earth pressures acting an cut and cover tunnel depended mainly on the embankment at crown and the inclination of cut slope.
