Two real-time modeling prediction (RMP) schemes are presented in this paper for analyzing the behavior of deep excavations during construction. The first RMP scheme is developed from the traditional AR(p) model. The second is based on the simplified Elman-style recurrent neural networks. An on-line learning algorithm is introduced to describe the dynamic behavior of deep excavations. As a case study, in-situ measurements of an excavation were recorded and the measured data were used to verify the reliability of the two schemes. They proved to be both effective and convenient for predicting the behavior of deep excavations during construction. It is shown through the case study that the RMP scheme based on the neural network is more accurate than that based on the traditional AR(p) model.

The cover plate and the building loads often make the semi-covered deep excavations with existing buildings bearing asymmetric load, presenting different deformation characteristics with normal excavations, which is not absolutely clear in current studies. Based on a typical engineering, the building storeys, the basement storeys, the pile length, the existence of the cover plate (CP) and the depth of the diaphragm walls (DW) were selected as variables, and 44 groups of simulation were designed to study the influence of existing buildings and the semi-covered supporting system on the deformation of the excavations. The results showed that the maximum lateral displacement of DW, δ_hm, and the depth of δ_hm, H_m, are affected seriously by the building storeys and the basement storeys. Asymmetric structures and loading lead to certain lateral displacement of DW at the beginning of excavation, resulting in different relationships between δ_hm and excavation depth, H. The maximum surface settlement outside the pit, δ_vm, increases significantly and the location, d_m, moves away from the pit with the building storeys increases. δ_vm has a quadratic correlation with H due to the existing buildings. CP and building load will affect the style of the lateral displacement curve of DW seriously in different aspects.

To stabilize the excavations in urban area, soil anchorage is among the very common methods in geotechnical engineering. A more efficient deformation analysis can potentially lead to cost-effective and safer designs. To this end, a total of 116 three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of a deep excavation supported by tie-back wall system were analyzed in this study. An initial validation was conducted through examination of the results against the Texas A&M excavation cases. After the validation step, an extensive parametric study was carried out to cover significant design parameters of tie-back wall system in deep excavations. The numerical results indicated that the maximum horizontal displacement values of the wall (δ_hm) and maximum surface settlement (δ_vm) increase by an increase in the value of ground anchors inclination relative to the horizon. Additionally, a change in the wall embedment depth was found to be contributing more to δ_vm than to δ_hm. Based on the 3D FE analysis results, two simple equations are proposed to estimate excavation deformations for different scenarios in which the geometric configuration parameters are taken into account. The model proposed in this study can help the engineers to have a better understanding of the behavior of such systems.

도심지 근접 굴착시 과도한 굴착으로 인하여 지반 및 흙막이 구조물에 발생되는 과도한 변형을 억제하기 위해 굴착측에 어느 정도의 소단(berm)을 두어 시공하는 것은 매우 유용한 방법이 될 수 있다. 그러나 굴착 현장에서는 시공의 편의상 소단을 두지 않거나, 기존 연구 결과의 부족 등으로 인하여 현장 임의의 판단에 의해 소단의 크기와 형상을 설정하는 것이 일반적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주로 사질토 지반을 대상으로 실내 모형 실험 및 수치해석적 방법을 활용하여, 굴착시 지반 및 흙막이 구조물의 과도한 변형을 억제하기 위한 효율적인 소단에 대해 분석하였다. 즉 자립식 및 버팀대식 굴착에 대한 모형 실험을 실시하여 소단의 형상과 크기에 따른 흙막이벽의 거동을 분석하였다. 또한 수치해석적 방법을 활용하여 국내 도심지 버팀 굴착공과 유사한 지반 조건 및 시공 조건에서 활용할 수 있는 효율적인 소단에 대하여 분석하였다.

In densely built areas, the development of underground transportation systems often involves twin excavations, which are sometimes unavoidably constructed adjacent to existing piled foundations. Because soil stiffness degrades with induced stress release and shear strain during excavation, it is vital to investigate the piled raft responses to subsequent excavation after the first tunnel in a twin-excavation system. The effects of deep excavations on existing piled foundations have been extensively investigated, but the influence of twin excavations on a piled raft is seldom reported in the literature. In this study, three-dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to investigate the influence of sand density on an existing piled raft (with a working load on top of the raft) due to twin excavations. A wide range of relative density (D_r) from loosest (30%), loose to medium (50% and 70%), and densest (90%) were selected to investigate the effects on settlement and load transfer mechanism of the piled raft during twin excavations. An advanced hypoplastic sand model (which can capture small-strain stiffness and stress-state dependent dilatancy of sand) was adopted. The model parameters are calibrated against centrifuge test results in sand reported in the literature. From the computed results, it is found that twin excavations in loose sand (D_r=30%) caused the most significant settlement. This is because of the higher stiffness of denser sand (D_r=90%) than that of loose sand. In contrast, a much larger tilting (maximum magnitude=0.18%) was computed in dense sand than in loose sand after the completion of the first excavation. As far as the load transfer mechanism along the piles is concerned, an upward load transfer to mobilize shaft resistance is observed in loose sand. On the contrary, a downward load transfer is observed in dense sand.

국내 도시철도 노선은 이용자의 접근을 편리하게 하기 위하여 주거단지 및 도심지 인근 지역에 시공되는 사례가 많다. 도시 인구 증가로 인하여 교통망 확충과 재건축 등이 지속적으로 이루어짐에 따라 도시철도 인접 지역 굴착이 불가피하며 굴착 시 발생하는 지반 응력 및 지하수위 변화는 도시철도 궤도틀림을 유발한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 삼차원 유한차분 해석 상용프로그램 FLAC3D를 이용하여 도시철도 인접지반 대규모 굴착 시 지하수위에 따른 굴착 부 벽체 수평변위 및 배면지반의 침하와 궤도틀림량 산정 후 이들의 상관관계를 분석하고 궤도틀림 및 지하 박스구조물 안정성 평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과 깊은 굴착 시 지하수위에 따른 궤간틀림은 매우 미소하게 발생하였으나 줄틀림 72.5%, 수평틀림 83.3%, 면틀림 61.9%, 평면성틀림 43.3%로서 상대적으로 큰 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 흙막이 벽체의 최대 수평 변위 및 벽체 배면 침하 차는 각각 65.1%, 21.4%가 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며 지하수위가 지표면에 위치한 경우 지하 박스구조물의 인장 응력이 허용 기준을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 도시철도 구조물에 인접하여 깊은 굴착이 시공된 경우 궤도틀림으로 인한 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해 본 연구에서 수행한 삼차원 수치해석과 실시간 모니터링을 실시하는 것이 바람직하다.
