방재분야에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용한 많은 연구는 재산 피해를 줄이고 인명을 구할 수 있다. 불연속변형해석법(DDA)은 불연속성 암반의 거동을 해석하기 위한 새로운 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 방법이다. 현실적으로 대부분의 암반사면은 3차원적 문제이기 때문에 2차원 변형해석은 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 불연속변형해석법 관한 이론을 기술하였으며, 불연속성 암반에서의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기법으로 새롭게 개발한 3차원 불연속변형해석법을 제안하고, 암반사면의 파괴 거동에 적용했다. 암반사면 현장에 적용하여 결과를 비교 검토함으로써, 암반사면의 변형과 파괴 메커니즘 해석에 있어서 개발한 3차원 불연속 변형 해석법의 적용성에 대한 검증을 하였다.

Shi가 개발한 불연속 변형 해석은 많은 발전이 있었지만 지금까지의 해석이 모두 평면변형률이나 평면응력을 가정한 이차원으로 이루어진 해석이다. 하지만 불연속면이 기본적으로 삼차원을 형성하므로 이차원으로 해석하는데는 한계가 있다. 삼차원의 불연속면이 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치는 사면, 지하 비축기지 등의 설계에서는 삼차원 해석에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 이 연구에서는 기존 Shi가 개발한 이차원 불연속 변형 해석을 삼차원 불연속 변형 해석의 이론으로 확장하고 프로그램을 개발하여 실제 블록에 적용함으로써 개발된 이론과 프로그램의 타당성을 검증하였다. 개발한 프로그램을 이용하여 일정한 경사를 가진 블록의 미끄러짐과 쐐기의 미끄러짐을 해석하여 이론값과 정확히 일치하는 결과를 얻었다. 삼차원 이론확장과 검증을 바탕으로 향후 보다 많은 숫자의 블록에 적용하면서 해석을 할 것이다.

Although pipelines are composed of segmental tubes commonly connected by rubber gasket or push-in joints, current studies mainly simplified pipelines as continuous structures. Effects of joints on three-dimensional deformation mechanisms of existing pipelines due to tunnel excavation are not fully understood. By conducting three-dimensional numerical analyses, effects of pipeline burial depth, tunnel burial depth, volume loss, pipeline stiffness and joint stiffness on bending strain and joint rotation of existing pipelines are explored. By increasing pipeline burial depth or decreasing tunnel cover depth, tunneling-induced pipeline deformations are substantially increased. As tunnel volume loss varies from 0.5% to 3%, the maximum bending strains and joint rotation angles of discontinuous pipelines increase by 1.08 and 9.20 times, respectively. By increasing flexural stiffness of pipe segment, a dramatic increase in the maximum joint rotation angles is observed in discontinuous pipelines. Thus, the safety of existing discontinuous pipelines due to tunnel excavation is controlled by joint rotation rather than bending strain. By increasing joint stiffness ratio from 0.0 (i.e., completely flexible joints) to 1.0 (i.e., continuous pipelines), tunneling-induced maximum pipeline settlements decrease by 22.8%-34.7%. If a jointed pipeline is simplified as a continuous structure, tunneling-induced settlement is thus underestimated, but bending strain is grossly overestimated. Thus, joints should be directly simulated in the analysis of tunnel-soil-pipeline interaction.

Nowadays, more and more subway tunnels were planed and constructed underneath the ground of urban cities to relieve the congested traffic. Potential damage may occur in existing tunnel if the new tunnel is constructed too close. So far, previous studies mainly focused on the tunnel-tunnel interactions with circular shape. The difference between circular and horseshoe shaped tunnel in terms of deformation mechanism is not fully investigated. In this study, three-dimensional numerical parametric studies were carried out to explore the effect of different tunnel shapes on the complicated tunnel-tunnel interaction problem. Parameters considered include volume loss, tunnel stiffness and relative density. It is found that the value of volume loss play the most important role in the multi-tunnel interactions. For a typical condition in this study, the maximum invert settlement and gradient along longitudinal direction of horseshoe shaped tunnel was 50% and 96% larger than those in circular case, respectively. This is because of the larger vertical soil displacement underneath existing tunnel. Due to the discontinuous hoop axial stress in horseshoe shaped tunnel, significant shear stress was mobilized around the axillary angles. This resulted in substantial bending moment at the bottom plate and side walls of horseshoe shaped tunnel. Consequently, vertical elongation and horizontal compression in circular existing tunnel were 45% and 33% smaller than those in horseshoe case (at monitored section X/D = 0), which in latter case was mainly attributed to the bending induced deflection. The radial deformation stiffness of circular tunnel is more sensitive to the Young's modulus compared with horseshoe shaped tunnel. This is because of that circular tunnel resisted the radial deformation mainly by its hoop axial stress while horseshoe shaped tunnel do so mainly by its flexural rigidity. In addition, the reduction of soil stiffness beneath the circular tunnel was larger than that in horseshoe shaped tunnel at each level of relative density, indicating that large portion of tunneling effect were undertaken by the ground itself in circular tunnel case.
