The surrounding rock mass contains cracks and joints which are distributed randomly around tunnels, and in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, radial cracks could also be induced in the surrounding rock mass. In order to clearly understand the impact of radial cracks on tunnel stability, tunnel model tests and finite element numerical analysis were implemented in this paper. Two kinds of materials: cement mortar and sandstone, were used to make tunnel models, which were loaded vertically and confined horizontally. The tunnel failure pattern was simulated by using RFPA2D code, and the Tresca stresses and the stress intensity factors were calculated by using ABAQUS code, which were applied to the analysis of tunnel model test results. The numerical results generally agree with the model test results, and the mode II stress intensity factors calculated by ABAQUS code can well explain the model test results. It can be seen that for tunnels with a radial crack emanating from three points on tunnel edge, i.e., the middle point between tunnel spandrel and its top with a dip angle $45^{\circ}$, the tunnel foot with a dip angle $127^{\circ}$, and the tunnel spandrel with $135^{\circ}$ with tunnel wall, the tunnel model strength is about a half of the regular tunnel model strength, and the corresponding tunnel stability decreases largely.

전 세계적으로 도심지 공간의 효율적인 활용을 위한 지하 공간 이용방안에 대해 연구가 진행되어 왔고 미국, 유럽, 중국 등이 복층터널을 건설하여 운영 중이다. 대표적으로, 프랑스의 A86 East, 말레이시아 SMART 터널, 스페인 M30 프로젝트, 미국 시애틀 SR99, 중국 상하이 양쯔강 터널 등을 예로 들 수 있다. 이에 따라서 국내에서도 교통집중을 해소하고 지상 공간 확보를 위해 대심도에 위치하는 네트워크형 복층도로터널 운영에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용하고 있는 일반적인 도로터널의 환기설계 아웃라인의 리뷰를 통해 대심도 복층터널에 추가적으로 필요한 다양한 요소들을 분석해보고, 해외 복층 도로터널설계사례들을 자세히 검토하여 환기방식과 종류에 따른 환기설계인자분석을 통해 네트워크형 복층 도로터널에 적용 가능한 설계인자를 도출해내고 특징적인 환기설계인자를 새롭게 정립해 본다.

The construction of shield tunnelling in urban sites is facing serious risks from complex and changeable underground conditions. Construction problems in the sand-clay mixed ground have been more reported in recent decades for its poor control of soil loss in tunnel face, ground settlement and supporting pressure. Since the limitations of observation methods, the conventional physical modelling experiments normally simplify the tunnelling to a plane strain situation whose results are not reliable in mixed ground cases which exhibit more complicated responses. We propose a new method for the study of the mixed ground tunnel through which mixed lays are simulated with transparent soil surrogates exhibiting different mechanical properties. An experimental framework for the transparent soil modelling of the mixed ground tunnel was established incorporated with the self-developed digital image correlation system (PhotoInfor). To understand better the response of face stability, ground deformation, settlement and supporting phenomenon to tunnelling excavation in the sand-clay mixed ground, a series of case studies were carried out comparing the results from cases subjected to different buried depths and mixed phenomenon. The results indicate that the deformation mode, settlement and supporting phenomenon vary with the mixed phenomenon and buried depth. Moreover, a stratigraphic effect exists that the ground movement around mixed face reveals a notable difference.

Recently, starting with the deep underground road construction plan in Seobu Expressway, Korea, there area many studies on deep underground roads to be newly built. However, there is an extreme lack of safety standards, which does not consider traffic conditions and road driving characteristics. Therefore, this study reviewed safety elements to reflect in the deep underground road planning by analyzing driving stability of longitudinal tunnels with road environments, which resemble deep underground roads. For comprehensive analysis, the characteristics and causes of the accidents that have occurred in seven longitudinal tunnels with a length of 2km or over in Gangwon area, were collected. Specifically, geometric structures and facilities of each tunnel were investigated. Also, the present state of facility installation and the changes in driving speed of vehicles passing through each tunnel were observed to analyze the causes for the traffic accidents in each tunnel and accident reduction alternatives. It was revealed that the most frequent accidents in the tunnels resulted from the changes of traffic flow due to the abrupt speed reduction of forward vehicles, or the failure in speed control of following vehicles during the traffic congestion situation. Moreover, installing facilities such as plane and longitudinal curves, median strips and marginal strips seem to induce consistent driving speed. These results mean that for accident prevention, speed management must be preceded and there is a need to develop and introduce safety facilities actively to control the driving flow of forward and following vehicles.

In order to develop the deep-underground GTX (Great Train eXpress) in domestic, the running performance analysis of the propulsion system by a variety of route condition must be carried out before studying the specification and the development of the high-speed propulsion system with inverter and traction motor. Then it is necessary to study the running resistance properties of the high-speed traction system for the variety of tunnel type and vehicle organization method at first. In addition, the properties of the power requirement of the traction motors needed to maintain the balanced speed of the high-speed traction system are next studied. We need to study properties of the emergency braking distance caused by the highest operation speed of the high-speed traction system and present the fundamental design technologies to develop the high-speed traction system for the deep-underground GTX. Finally, the paper analyzes the applicability of the conventional Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) propulsion system on the high-speed propulsion system for the deep-underground GTX.

국내 원전에서 발생되는 36,000톤의 사용후핵연료를 처분하기 위해서는 약 $4km^2$의 지하 처분장이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 굴착량과 처분장 면적을 최소화하기 위한 지하 심부 처분장 배치의 최적화를 실시하였다. 열 해석 결과를 토대로 처분 터널과 처분공 간격이 처분장 배치에 미치는 영향을 고려한 결과, 처분장 면적과 굴착량은 처분 터널의 길이가 길어짐에 따라 감소하였다. 주어진 열적 기준을 만족하면서 처분장 면적을 줄이기 위해서는 처분 터널의 간격을 줄이고 처분공 간격을 늘리는 것이 유리하였으며, 반면에 굴착량을 최소화하는 경우 처분공 간격을 줄이고 처분 터널 간격을 늘려주는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Tube Lines has carried out a "knowledge and investigation programme" on the deep tube tunnels comprising the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, as required by the PPP contract with London Underground. Many of the tunnels have been in use for over 100 years, so this assessment was considered essential to the future safe functioning of the system. This programme has involved a number of generic investigations which guide the assessment methodology and the analysis of some 5,000 individual structures. A significant amount of investigation has been carried out, including ultrasonic thickness measurement, detection of brickwork laminations using radar, stress measurement using magnetic techniques, determination of soil parameters using CPT, pressuremeter and laboratory testing, installation of piezometers, material and tunnel segment testing, and trialling of remote photographic techniques for inspection of large tunnels and shafts. Vibrating wire, potentiometer, electro level, optical and fibre-optic monitoring has been used, and laser measurement and laser scanning has been employed to measure tunnel circularity. It is considered that there is scope for considerable improvements in non-destructive testing technology for structural assessment in particular, and some ideas are offered as a "wish-list". Assessment reports have now been produced for all assets forming Tube Lines' deep tube tunnel network. For assets which are non-compliant with London Underground standards, the risk to the operating railway has to be maintained as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) using enhanced inspection and monitoring, or repair where required. Monitoring techniques have developed greatly during recent years and further advances will continue to support the economic whole life asset management of infrastructure networks.

연구목적: 지하공동구는 도시 지하에 전기, 수도, 가스 등의 인프라를 공동 수용하는 시설로 공기 흐름이 부족하여 계절에 상관없이 결로가 자주 발생한다. 결로는 전기 설비의 누전 화재를 일으키는 원인이 되므로 지하공동구 내의 조명 등 각종 시설물 관리를 위해 필요한 제어반은 결로에 노출되지 않도록 문이 닫힌 상태로 관리되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 객체인식 기술을 활용하여 수km 거리에 반복 배치된 공동구 제어반의 문 열림 여부를 이동 카메라 조건과 조명이 꺼진 조건에서도 인식하고자 한다. 연구방법: 지하공동구를 순찰하는 로봇이 촬영한 영상데이터를 이용하여 딥러닝 객체인식 모델인 YOLO를 모자이크 이미지 증강기법으로 학습시켜 제어반 문 열림과 문 닫힘을 인식한다. 연구결과: 모자이크 이미지 증강기법으로 학습시킨 모델과 사용하지 않은 모델의 성능을 비교한 결과, 모자이크 학습 모델이 더 우수한 성능(모든 클래스에 대한 mAP가 0.994 이상임)을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 결론: 지하공동구의 조명이 꺼진 상태에서도, 공동구 내부 시설물이 복잡한 환경에서도 제어반의 문열림 여부를 우수한 성능으로 인식하여 지하공동구 재난안전관리에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
