Population concentration in urban areas has led traffic management a central issue. To mitigate traffic congestions, the government has planned to construct large-cross-section tunnels deep underground. This study focuses on estimating the damage caused to frame structures owing to tunnel excavation. When constructing a tunnel network deep underground, it is necessary to divide the main tunnel and connect the divergence tunnel to the ground surface. Ground settlement is caused by excavation of the adjacent divergence tunnel. Therefore, predicting ground settlement using diverse variables is necessary before performing damage estimation. We used the volume loss and cover-tunnel diameter ratio as the variables in this study. Applying the ground settlement values to the settlement induction device, we measured the extent of damage to frame structures due to displacement at specific points. The vertical and horizontal displacements that occur at these points were measured using preattached LVDT (Linear variable differential transformer), and the lateral strain and angular distortion were calculated using these displacements. The lateral strain and angular distortion are key parameters for structural damage estimation. A damage assessment chart comprises the "Negligible", "Very Slight Damage", "Slight Damage", "Moderate to Severe Damage", and "Severe to Very Severe Damage" categories was developed. This table was applied to steel frame and concrete frame structures for comparison.

Across the globe, rapid urbanization demands the construction of basements for car parking and sub way station within the vicinity of high-rise buildings supported on piled raft foundations. As a consequence, ground movements caused by such excavations could interfere with the serviceability of the building and the piled raft as well. Hence, the prediction of the building responses to the adjacent excavations is of utmost importance. This study used three-dimensional numerical modelling to capture the effects of twin excavations (final depth of each excavation, H_e=24 m) on a 20-storey building resting on (4×4) piled raft. Because the considered structure, pile foundation, and soil deposit are three-dimensional in nature, the adopted three-dimensional numerical modelling can provide a more realistic simulation to capture responses of the system. The hypoplastic constitutive model was used to capture soil behaviour. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model was used to capture the cracking behaviour in the concrete beams, columns and piles. The computed results revealed that the first excavation- induced substantial differential settlement (i.e., tilting) in the adjacent high-rise building while second excavation caused the building tilt back with smaller rate. As a result, the building remains tilted towards the first excavation with final value of tilting of 0.28%. Consequently, the most severe tensile cracking damage at the bottom of two middle columns. At the end of twin excavations, the building load resisted by the raft reduced to half of that the load before the excavations. The reduced load transferred to the piles resulting in increment of the axial load along the entire length of piles.

Application of anchored or strutted wall system for the earth retention of excavation works in a populated urban area or a poor soil deposit can be limited due to various restrictions. Since the strut becomes longer in a wide excavation site, the stability of an earth retaining wall is decreased, the wall deformation is increased, and the ground settlement is also increased due to an increased buckling or bending deformation of struts. Especially, in a populated urban area, the installation of anchors can be problematic due to the property line of adjacent structures or facilities. Thus, a new concept of earth retaining system like Self-Supported diaphragm Wall can solve several problems expected to occur during excavation in the urban area. In this study, Numerical analyses of counterfort diaphragm wall was introduced and the monitored data from the site was compared with the original results of numerical analyses. Also, in the case of the deep excavation applied the counterfort diaphragm wall, numerical analyses was performed to predict the wall deformation and the reinforcement to reduce the wall deformation was suggested.

도심지와 같이 공사 현장에 인접 구조물이 많은 경우, 지반 구조물의 안정성 확보와 더불어 지반의 변형 역시 엄격하게 관리해야 한다. 따라서 공사 중 현장에서 발생하는 지반의 침하를 정확하게 계측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 지반의 침하는 침하계를 이용하여 계측하는 것이 일반적이나, 최근 전자기술의 발달로 3차원 스캔이 가능한 장치들을 지반 침하 계측에 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이 3차원 스캔장치의 경우 지반 침하의 전체적인 양상을 평가하기는 용이하나 직접 침하를 측정하지 않아 정밀도에 있어서 한계가 있다. 또한, 침하계의 경우 침하계가 설치된 지점에서만 침하값을 측정하기 때문에 전체적인 침하의 양상을 평가하는 데는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 침하계가 측정한 값과 스캐너가 측정한 값을 합성하는 조건부 합성 기법에 대해 연구하였다. 가상의 침하양상과 이를 바탕으로 가상의 스캔한 침하 양상을 생성시켜 연구를 진행하였다. 조건부 합성을 통해 침하 양상의 오차를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A substantial portion of the cost of a tunnelling project in urban environments is, therefore, devoted to prevent ground movement. Therefore, prediction of ground movements and assessment of risk of damage to adjacent buildings has become an essential part of the planning, design, and construction of a tunnelling project in the urban environments. An internet-based tunnelling-induced ground movements and building damage assessment system (IT-TURIMS) was developed and implemented to Daegu Metro Subway Line tunnel construction project in Korea. This paper describes the concept and implementation of IT-TURIMS. Practical significance of tunnelling risk assessment is also discussed.

In this study, Model test of concrete frame structures with various shapes and locations are carried out by means of applying Peck's(1969) settlement method. The results of the model test indicated that important correlations existed between the behavior of frame structure and ground movement. Also, the damage level of frame structure closely influenced by the phase of excavation. Therefore, prediction of damage level at early phase of construction should be very precise. The damage level graph by Cording et al.(2001), the angular distortion provided gradually more serious damage to frame structures for the all cases. But the damage level graph by Burland(1997), was difficult to confirm because of very small amount of deflection ratio.

최근 복잡한 도심지 개발이 포화상태에 이르러 지하공간 개발에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있으며, 건물의 대형화 및 고층화로 지하공간의 활용도를 높이기 위해 대심도 굴착이 자주 발생하고 있다. 또한, 도심지 기존도로 하부로 지하철, 경전철 등이 건설되고 있어 대형건물 신축을 위한 흙막이 굴착 시 기존 지하구조물과 인접하여 주의를 요하는 사례가 자주 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모형시험을 통해 흙막이벽체 강성과 터널 이격거리에 따른 흙막이벽체의 거동특성 및 인접한 터널의 거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 흙막이벽의 변형은 벽체의 강성이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 버팀대에 작용하는 축력도 벽체의 강성에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 흙막이벽체의 강성이 작은 경우(2 mm) 버팀대 축력이 최대가 되는 지점은 벽체의 0.3H 부근에서 나타났고, 흙막이벽체의 강성이 큰 경우(5 mm)에는 벽체의 0.7H 부근에서 버팀대 축력이 최대로 나타났다. 또한, 터널 내공변위는 흙막이벽체와의 이격거리가 가까울수록, 벽체의 강성이 작을수록 뚜렷하게 발생하였으며 내공변위가 우측하부로 집중되는 경향을 보였다. 지반굴착에 따른 지표침하량은 터널과 흙막이벽체의 이격거리가 가까울수록 지표침하 영향범위가 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 이는 터널의 강성이 영향을 미친것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 대구경 소일-시멘트 교반체를 보강재로 적용한 토류벽의 굴착 시 거동을 현장 시험시공 결과를 통해 분석하였다. 먼저 대구경 소일-시멘트 교반체 공법에 대한 설명 및 기본 설계개념을 기술하였다. 공법을 9.8 m 굴착 현장에 적용하면서 굴착 단계별 벽체의 거동을 수평변위 및 하중 계측자료를 바탕으로 분석하였으며, 굴착에 의해 발생한 인접지반의 변위를 침하 계측 및 수치해석을 통해 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 대구경 소일-시멘트 교반체로 보강된 벽체는 보강재 길이가 0.45 H (H:벽체 높이) 이상인 경우 변위 및 토압 발생 거동이 소일 네일링과 같은 기존 공법으로 지지된 토류벽과 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

Needs for underground space development and utilization have been increasing in urban area. The conventional strutting method in excavation is effective to restrain the ground movements and displacements of earth structures but inefficient for workers because of small working space. The conventional earth reinforcement methods such as earth-anchor and soil-nailing also have limitation to apply in urban area due to threats to stability of adjacent buildings around excavation boundaries. Recently, many types of earth retaining structures are being developed to overcome disadvantages of conventional excavation methods in urban area. In this study, a series of numerical analyses were performed with MIDAS GTS, geotechnical analysis program and MIDAS Civil, structural analysis design program to evaluate behavior and stability of the new type of non-supporting earth retaining structure, called Temporary Tower System (TTS), consisting of tower truss structures with much economical and spatial advantage.
