Excavation for construction is implemented in natural geographical terrain using a variety of construction equipment. Therefore, 3D excavation simulation requires integration of geographical and equipment modeling. This paper proposes a technique that integrates geographical and equipment modeling for 3D simulations of construction excavation. The geographical model uses a digital map to show ground surface changes during excavation and the equipment model shows equipment movement and placement. This combination produced a state of the art 3D simulation environment that can be used for machine guidance. An equipment operator can use the 3D excavation simulation to help construction equipment operators with decisions during excavation work and consequently improve productivity.

Near-surface excavations may cause the tilting and destruction of the adjacent superstructures in big cities. The stability of a huge excavation and its nearby superstructures was studied in this paper. Some test instruments monitored the deformation and loads at the designed location. Then the numerical models of the excavation were made in FLAC3D (a three-dimensional finite difference code) and Plaxis-3D (a three-dimensional finite element code). The effects of different supporting and reinforcement tools such as nails, piles, and shotcretes on the stability and bearing capacity of the foundation were analyzed through different numerical models. The numerically approximated results were compared with the corresponding in-field monitored results and reasonable compatibility was obtained. It was concluded that the displacement in excavation and the settlement of the nearby superstructure increases gradually as the depth of excavation rises. The effects of support and reinforcements were also observed and modeled in this study. The settlement of the structure gradually decreased as the supports were installed. These analyses showed that the pile significantly increased the bearing capacity and decreased the settlement of the superstructure. As a whole, the monitoring and numerical simulation results were in good consistency with one another in this practically important project.

In this paper, a reliability-groundwater flow program is developed by coupling the 3-D finite element numerical groundwater flow program with first and second order reliability program. The numerical groundwater program developed called DGU-FLOW is verified by solving the examples of groundwater flow through the underground excavation and comparing the results with those of commercial MODFLOW 3D programs. Reliability routine of the program is also verified by comparing the probability of failure of the flow model from FORM/SORM with that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. The difference of out-flux and total head calculated near the bottom of the excavation using the deterministic 3D groundwater flow and the commercial programs was negligible. The reliability analysis of the groundwater flow showed that the probability of failure from the first and second order reliability method are quite close that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. Therefore, the developed program is considered effective for analyzing the groundwater flow with uncertainty in hydraulic conductivity of the soils.

The excavation of twin tunnels is a process that destabilizes the ground. The stability of the tunnel lining, the control of ground displacements around the tunnel resulting from each excavation and the interaction between them must be controlled. This paper provides a new approach for replacing the costly 3D analyses with the equivalent 2D analyses that closely reflects the in-situ measurements when excavating twin tunnels. The modeling was performed in two dimensions using the FLAC2D finite difference code. The three-dimensional effect of excavation is taken into account through the deconfinement rate ${\lambda}$ of the soil surrounding the excavation by applying the convergence-confinement method. A comparison between settlements derived by the proposed 2D analysis and the settlements measured in a real project in Algeria shows an acceptable agreement. Also, this paper reports the investigation into the changes in deformations on tunnel linings and surface settlements which may be expected if the twin tunnels of T4 El-Harouche Skikda were constructed with a tunneling machine. Special attention was paid to the influence of the excavation phase shift distance between the two mechanized tunnel faces. It is revealed that the ground movements and the lining deformations during tunnel excavation depend on the distance between the tunnels' axis and the excavation phase shift.

본 연구에서는 풍화토층에 굴착된 지하철 터널의 변형거동과 종방향 지보재의 보강효과가 3차원 유한차분해석에 의해 조사되었다. 굴착방법이 터널 변형거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 반단면 및 전단면의 2가지 굴착방법이 고려되었다. 또한, 우산형 막장보강법 (RPUM) 및 유리섬유 파이프의 보강효과가 비교되었다. 터널 변형거동을 분석하기 위해 막장변위, 내공변위, 선행변위 및 측벽변위가 조사되었고, 굴착방법 및 종방향 지보재의 효과가 지표침하량를 사용하여 분석되었다. 해석 결과, 반단면 굴착이 전단면 굴착 보다 더 큰 내공변위, 선행변위, 측벽변위를 야기시키며, 반면 막장변위는 전단면 굴착이 반단면 굴착에 비해 더 크게 발생됨을 알았다. 또한, 같은 굴착방법에서는 RPUM만이 사용되었을 때가 RPUM이 유리섬유 파이프와 같이 사용되었을 때 보다 모든 변위가 더 켜졌다.

발파의 영향으로 생기는 굴착손상대(Excavation Damaged Zone, EDZ) 영역은 응력재분배 등으로 응력이 변화하며 처분장이 위치하는 깊은 심도에서는 그 영향이 두드러진다. 특히 균열생성으로 인한 투수특성 증가는 지하수 유입량 증가 및 방사성 핵종의 유출 가능성을 증가시키므로 반드시 고려되어야 하는 영역이다. 본 연구에서는 FLAC2D Version 7.0을 이용하여 EDZ가 없는 경우(No EDZ), EDZ가 있으며 거리에 따라 일정한 물성을 갖는 경우(Uniform EDZ), EDZ가 있으며 거리와 위치에 따라 무작위 물성을 갖는 경우(Random EDZ) 3가지로 나누어 비교하여 손상대 유무에 따른 수리-역학적 복합거동 분석을 통해 안정성 해석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 터널 변위의 경우 Random EDZ에서 No EDZ에 비해 평균 423 %, Uniform EDZ에 비해 16 % 크게 나타났다. 지하수 유입량은 Random EDZ에서 No EDZ에 비해 최대 17.3 %, Uniform EDZ에 비해 10.8 % 증가하였다. 굴착 후 응력재분배에 의해 터널 주변의 투수계수는 터널 벽면 모서리 부분과 터널 천정 부근에서 최대 10배 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 측압계수가 증가함에 따라 터널 벽면 주변의 투수계수는 부분적으로 증가하지만 터널 전면에서의 지하수 유입량은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. FLAC3D를 이용한 역학적 해석에서도 FLAC2D와 유사한 결과를 보였으며 터널 굴착 진행에 따른 소성대의 발생으로 인한 약간의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

By conducting three-dimensional simulation with consideration of small-strain characteristics of soil stiffness, the effects of excavation geometry and tunnel cover to diameter ratio on deformation mechanisms of an existing tunnel located either at a side of basement or directly underneath the basement were systematically studied. Field measurements were used to verify the numerical model and model parameters. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, the maximum settlement and horizontal displacement of the tunnel are always observed at the tunnel springline closer to basement and tunnel crown, respectively, regardless of basement geometry. By increasing basement length and width by five times, the maximum movements of tunnel located at the side of basement and directly underneath the basement increase by 450% and 186%, respectively. Obviously, tunnel movements are more sensitive to basement length rather than basement width. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, tunnel movements at basement centerline become stable when basement length reaches 10 H_e (i.e., final excavation depth). Moreover, tunnel heaves due to overlying basement excavation become stable when the normalized basement length (L/H_e) is larger than 8.0. As tunnel cover to diameter ratio varies from 2.5 to 3.0, the maximum heave and tensile strain of tunnel due to overlying basement excavation decrease by up to 41.0% and 44.5%, respectively. If basement length is less than 8 H_e, the assumption of plane strain condition of basement-tunnel interaction grossly overestimates tunnel movements, and ignores tensile strain of tunnel along its longitudinal direction. Thus, three-dimensional numerical analyses are required to obtain a reasonable estimation of tunnel responses due to adjacent and overlying basement excavations in clay.

본 논문은 이수식 쉴드 TBM 굴착시 굴착면 안정에 큰 영향을 미치는 굴착면의 이수 침투에 따른 이막형성여부에 대하여 해석적 고찰을 수행하였다. 이러한 해석적 접근은 이수식 쉴드 TBM의 계획 및 설계시 최적 장비 형식 선정 및 시공계획 수립에 참고가 될 수 있으나, 이제까지 이에 대한 효과적인 해석적 방법에 대하여 제안된 것이 없는 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사질토 입자의 모델링에 효과적인 $PFC^{2D}$의 Fluid Coupling simulation을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 해석결과, 이수침투 특성은 굴착 대상지반의 투수성과 이수특성(비중, 점성계수등)에 따라 변화됨을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 해석적 접근방법을 통하여 이수식 쉴드 TBM의 계획 설계단계에서 대상지반 특성을 고려한 이수 점도관리 방안 수립과 함께 시공중의 초기굴진단계에서의 최적 이수점도의 재검증을 통하여 안전한 터널시공에 도움이 될 것이라 판단된다.

The construction adit plays a pivotal role in enhancing the working face during the excavation of long-distance and deep hydraulic tunnels. However, the intersection zone between the main tunnel and the construction adit exhibits more intricate deformation patterns in surrounding rock, posing a significant threat to stability during excavation. Taking the Xianglushan tunnel in Yunnan Province, China, as a case study, the FLAC3D software is employed to simulate the excavation process at the intersection. The simulation results are verified combined with the field deformation monitoring results, and the spatial distribution of tunnel rock deformation in the intersection area are analyzed. Five excavation conditions with different intersection angles are simulated, and the surrounding rock deformation of the tunnel intersection area with different intersection angles is analyzed, and its influence range is discussed. The results show that: (1) The surrounding rock deformation in the intersection area increases rapidly during the tunnel excavation. With the increase of construction distance, the deformation of intersection area is gradually stable. (2) The deformation distribution of the tunnel rock is uneven, and the deformation of main tunnel near the intersection area is larger than that far away from the intersection area. (3) With the increase of the intersection angle, the surrounding rock deformation of the tunnel intersection and its influence range decreases gradually. The research results have certain guiding significance for the construction safety of the tunnel intersection area.

지하수흐름에 대한 신뢰성 해석을 실시하였으며, 흐름에 관여하는 매개변수들이 목표 값의 파괴확률을 초과하는데 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 본 연구를 위하여 2차원 지하수흐름 프로그램을 3-D 프로그램 DGU-FLOW로 확장하여 제작하고, 이를 1계 및 2계 신뢰성 프로그램에 연계하였다. 3차원 흐름 프로그램의 검증은 지하굴착지반의 지하수 흐름 해석 문제를 풀고 이를 MODFLOW 프로그램과 비교하여 수행하였다. 신뢰성부분 또한 몬테칼로 해석을 수행하여 나타난 파괴확률을 비교함으로써 검증하였으며 지하수 흐름에 대한 1계 및 2계 신뢰성해석을 수행하여 산정된 파괴확률 값은 몬테칼로 해석을 통하여 나온 값과 매우 근접하였다. 토질층의 투수계수에 대한 매개변수 해석결과 투수계수의 평균과 분산의 증가는 목표 수량을 초과하는 파괴확률의 증가를 가져오는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 파괴확률의 민감도는 여러흐름 변수중에서 흐름영역 경계부의 일정 수두에 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났다.
