Overbreak occurred inevitably in a tunnel excavation, Is the main factor for increasing cost and time in tunnel projects. Furthermore the damage to the remained rock mass related to the overbreak can give rise to a serious safety problem in tunnels. As a rule of thumb, causes for the overbreak are inaccuracy in drilling, the wrong design of blasting and selection of explosives, and heterogeneity in rock mass. Specially, the geological features of the rock mass around periphery of an excavation are very important factors, so a lot of researches have been conducted to describe these phenomena. But the quantitative geological classification of the rock mass for the overbreak and the method for decreasing the amount of the overbreak have not been established. Besides, the technical improvement of the charge method is requested as explosives for the smooth blasting have not functioned efficiently. In this study, the working face around periphery of an excavation has been continuously sectionalized to 5∼6 parts, and the new Blastability Index for the overbreak based on 6 factors of RMD(Rock Mass Description), UCS(Uniaxial Compressive Strength) JPS(Joint Plane Spacing), JPO(Joint Plane Orientation), JPA(Joint Plane Aperture) and FM(Filling Material) is proposed to classify sections of the working face. On the basis of this classification, the distance between contour holes and the charging density are determined to minimize the overbreak. For controlling the charging density and improving the function of explosives, the New Deck Charge(N.D.C) method utilizing the deck charge method and detonation transmission in hole has been developed.

Practical solutions that are available today for assessing stability of tunnel working face are largely based on the concept of critical stability ratio. The accuracy of a prediction of the soil behavior in the working face, thus, depends on the ability of the solution to completely and accurately describe the stress fields or kinematics generated by the excavation and the accuracy of the undrained shear strength of the soil introduced in the computation. This paper reviews the selected solutions describing stability of the tunnel heading in squeezing ground, and suggests a reference solution which is established based on comparison of the solutions and field data on stability of tunnel headings in clays. Although dealing with the shear strength determination is an important companion part of the geotechnical prediction for stability of the tunnel heading in clays, this part is beyond the scope of this paper at this time.

Nowadays many urban subways are frequently constructed under the building and the river by the use of tunneling method. Especially, the majority of the tunnel are constructed even with shallow depth under the ground in the weathered soil. Since the tunnel are generally designed on the basis of the geographic soil investigation, the stability of the tunnel should be checked with the realistic data instrumented during construction. The displacement of the tunnel occurs in front of the end face during the excavation of the tunnel, which is called as pre-displacement. The total displacement can be figured from the exact pre-displacement, which is very difficult to measure without using any device installed in front of the tunnel end face. In this study, the pre-displacement measured from horizontal inclinometer was analyzed to know the co-relation with the total displacement and also, the trend and the characteristics of the tunnel deformation during construction was suggested through the regression analysis of the measured data.

쉴드 TBM 공법은 터널 굴착으로 인한 터널 굴진면과 굴착면의 변형을 억제하여 지반의 변형을 최소화할 수 있는 공법이다. 이를 위해 쉴드 TBM의 운전 조건들을 적절히 제어하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 쉴드 TBM 공법의 여러 가지 운전 조건 중 굴진면압과 뒤채움주입압은 지반에 직접 압력을 가하는 과정으로 굴착에 인한 지반변위의 억제 뿐만 아니라, 지반 내 유효응력 및 간극수압의 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인이다. 굴진면압과 뒤채움압의 작용에 대한 지반의 반응은 지반의 강성 및 투수성에 따라 상이하다. 특히, 포화된 연약 점성토의 경우 굴진면압과 뒤채움압에 의한 지반 내 응력 변화의 영향이 장시간동안 잔류하므로 이에 대한 반응은 투수성이 큰 지반과 구별되는 거동을 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 유한 요소법을 이용한 응력-간극수압 연계 매개변수해석을 통해 포화 점성토 지반에서 쉴드 TBM 운전 조건과 지반의 강성과 투수성이 지표침하에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 점성토 지반의 지표침하는 즉시침하와 압밀침하로 구분할 수 있었으며, 특히 압밀침하 거동은 지반의 투수성과 강성의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 굴진면압과 뒤채움압의 증가가 항상 지표침하 감소로 이어지지는 않고, 임의 크기의 압력(한계 압력) 이상으로 증가된 굴진면압과 뒤채움압은 역으로 지표침하를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용할 수 있음이 확인되었다.

The most important issue during shield TBM tunneling in soft ground formations is to appropriately control ground surface settlement. Among various operational conditions in shield TBM tunneling, the face pressure and backfill pressure should be the most important and immediate measure to restrain surface settlement during excavation. In this paper, a 3-D hydro-mechanical coupled FE model is developed to numerically simulate the entire process of shield TBM tunneling, which is verified by comparing with real field measurements of ground surface settlement. The effect of permeability and stiffness of ground formations on tunneling-induced surface settlement was discussed in the parametric study. An increase in the face pressure and backfill pressure does not always lead to a decrease in surface settlement, but there are the critical face pressure and backfill pressure. In addition, considering the relatively low permeability of ground formations, the surface settlement consists of two parts, i.e., immediate settlement and consolidation settlement, which shows a distinct settlement behavior to each other.

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.

터널 굴착시 막장의 안정성은 주변지반 및 터널 지보재의 안정성과 아울러 가장 중요하게 평가되어야 할 요소 중의 하나이다. 특히 터널이 지하수위 하에서 시공될 경우 지하수 흐름에 따라 터널 막장에서 발생하게 되는 침투력은 터널 막장의 안정성에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 침투력은 터널 설계 및 시공시 터널 막장의 안정성 측면에서 중요하게 평가되어야 할 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 지하수위 하에서 터널이 시공될 경우 발생하는 침투력과 관련하여 터널 굴진율이 본 칩투력에 미치는 영향에 대해서 언급하였다. 터널 굴진율을 고려한 지하수 흐름해석을 위하여 유한요소 해석 프로그램이 개발되었다. 본 프로그램을 이용하여 터널 굴진율 및 지반의 투수특성이 터널 막장에 작용하는 침투력에 미치는 영향을 매개변수 분석을 통하여 연구하였다. 본 연구결과, 터널 굴진율은 터널 막장에 작용하는 침투력을 평가하는데 있어서 중요한 추가된 요소로 고려되어야 하며, 결론적으로 터널 막장의 안정성을 유지하기 위한 지보압의 합리적인 산정을 위한 방법론을 제시할 수 있었다.

Tunnelling in water bearing soils influences the ground water regime. It has been indicated in the literature that the existence of ground water above a tunnel influences tunnel stability and the settlement profile. Only limited research, however, has been done on ground water movements around tunnels and their influence on tunnel performance. Time dependent soil behaviour can be caused by the changes of pore water pressure and/or the viscous properties of soil(creep) under the stress change resulting from the advance of the tunnel face. De Moor(1989) demonstrated that the time dependent deformations due to tunnelling are mainly the results of pore pressure dissipation and should be interpreted in terms of effective stress changes. Drainage into tunnels is governed by the permeability of the soil, the length of the drainage path and the hydraulic boundary conditions. The potential effect of lime dependent settlement in a shallow tunnel is likely to occur rapidly due to the short drainage path and possibly high coefficient of consolidation. Existing 2D modelling methods are not applicable to these tunnelling problems, as it is difficult to define empirical parameters. In this paper the time-based 2D modelling method is adopted to account for the three dimensional effect and time dependent behaviour during tunnel construction. The effect of coupling between the unloading procedure and consolidation during excavation is profoundly investigated with the method. It is pointed out that realistic modelling can be achieved by defining a proper permeability at the excavation boundary and prescribing appropriate time for excavation Some guidelines for the numerical modelling of drained and undrained excavation has been suggested using characteristic time factor. It is highlighted that certain range of the factor shows combined effect between the unloading procedure due to excavation and consolidation during construction.
