When a high-speed railway train enters a tunnel, a compression wave is generated ahead of the train and propagates along the tunnel, compressing and accelerating the rest air in front of the wave. At the exit of the tunnel, an impulsive wave is emitted outward toward the surrounding, which causes a positive impulsive noise like a kind of sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft. With the advent of high-speed train, such an impulsive noise can be large enough to cause the noise problem, unless some attempts are made to alleviate its pressure levels. For the purpose of the impulsive noise reduction, the present study investigated the effect of a vertical bleed duct on the compression wave propagating into a model tunnel. Numerical results were obtained using a Piecewise Linear Method and testified by experiment of shock tube with an open end. The results showed that the vertical bleed duct reduces the maximum pressure gradient of compression wave front by about 30 percent, compared with the straight tunnel without the bleed duct. As the width of the vertical bleed duct becomes larger, reduction of the impulsive noise is expected to be greater. However the impulsive noise is independent of the height of the vertical bleed duct.

When a high-speed railway train enters a tunnel, a compression wave is generated ahead of the train and propagates along the tunnel, compressing and accelerating the rest air in front of the wave. At the exit of the tunnel, an impulsive wave is emitted outward toward the surrounding, which causes a positive impulsive noise like a kind of sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft. With the advent of high-speed train, such an impulsive noise can be large enough to cause the noise problem, unless some attempts are made to alleviate its pressure levels. In the purpose of the impulsive noise reduction, the present study tested the effect of porous walls on the compression wave propagating into a model tunnel. Experimental results were obtained using a shock tube with an open end. The results showed that the cavity/porous wall is very effective for the compression wave with a large nonlinear effect. The porosity of 30% is most effective for attenuation and pressure gradient reduction of the compression wave front. Also the impulsive noise reduction increases with increasing the length and height of the cavity, compared with the tunnel equivalent diameter.

This case was successfully constructed as a leakage prevention case of primary 2-arch tunnel located in Anyang, Gyungkido. The leakage of primary 2-arch tunnel was observed at middle wall of tunnel and girder of tunnel. Such a leakage of primary 2-arch tunnel generally occurred due to the damage of the waterproof membrane constructed on the middle wall during the blasting works of right and left tunnel after construction of the middle wall. As the leakage, icicles hanged from girder of tunnel in the winter. In such phenomenon, the risk of the traffic accident in the tunnel was high. In this case, leakage prevention works were successfully constructed using the heat insulated drainage.

The tunnel collapse, large deformation of surrounding rock, water and mud inrush are the major geological disasters in soft rock tunnel construction. Among them, tunnel collapse has the most serious impact on tunnel construction. Current research backed theories have certain limitations in identifying the collapse risk of soft rock tunnels. Examining the Zhengwan high-speed railway tunnel, eight soft rock tunnel collapse influencing factors were selected, and the combination of indicator weights based on the analytic hierarchy process and entropy weighting methods was obtained. The results show that the groundwater condition and the integrity of the rock mass are the main influencing factors leading to a soft rock tunnel collapse. A comprehensive fuzzy evaluation model for the collapse risk of soft rock tunnels is being proposed, and the real-time collapse risk assessment of the Zhengwan tunnel is being carried out. The results obtained via the fuzzy evaluation model agree well with the actual situation. A tunnel section evaluated to have an extremely high collapse risk and experienced a local collapse during excavation, verifying the feasibility of the collapse risk evaluation model. The collapse risk evaluation model proposed in this paper has been demonstrated to be a promising and innovative method for the evaluation of the collapse risk of soft rock tunnels, leading to safer construction.

터널 청소는 현장작업이기 때문에 대단히 열악한 근로조건에 놓여있다. 시공되는 터널의 증가로 청소해야 할 터널이 점점 많아지고 있다. 하지만 터널의 증가에 비해 청소 분야에서 숙련공에 대한 구인난과 고령화는 해소되지 않고 있으며, 이들에 대한 임금 상승이 지속되는 것으로 조사되었다. 이에 대응하여 해결방안으로 제시된 것들 중의 하나가 바로 자동화${\cdot}$기계화이다. 최근 산업로봇의 발달로 인해 인력으로 해왔던 일들이 점차 줄어들고 신속하고 쾌적한 환경에서 작업할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 건설로봇이 개발되기 시작한 것은 불과 10년 정도로 지금까지 개발된 전 세계 건설로봇은 90여종 200여대 정도에 지나지 않는다. 이중 터널 청소 분야에서는 장비는 개발되었더라도 완벽한 자동화를 이루지 못해 추가로 인력이 투입되는 실정이다. 터널 청소는 직업의 안정성, 임금, 안전, 쾌적한 작업 환경 등을 만족시키지 못하고 작업자의 생명을 위협하는 수준에까지 이르고 있어 터널청소장비의 개선이 시급하다. 본 연구는 기존의 터널청소의 문제점 및 기존 터널장비의 문제점을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 개선된 터널청소 장비를 제안하고자 한다.

고속열차의 터널 진입시 발생하는 압력파는 압축파의 형태로 터널내부를 전파하여 터널출구에 도달할 때에는 펄스형태의 충격성 압출파로 방사된다. 터널에서 방사된 압축파는 특정한 방향으로 전파되는 것이 아니라 전방향으로 확산되며, 압축파의 크기가 크면 주변 환경에 대한 환경소음 및 진동문제를 야기하게 되는데, 이를 미기압파(Micro Pressure wave)라 한다. 이러한 미기압파는 열차의 주행속도, 터널연장, 터널 및 열차의 단면적 등에 의존하므로 고속철도 터널의 적정단면을 결정하기 위하여 반드시 고려해야 된다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 호남고속철도 단면결정사례를 통하여 단면규모별 수치해석결과에 의한 미기압 기준 만족여부 및 최적단면선정과정을 소개하였다. 호남고속철도의 단면결정사례에서는 경부고속철도 화신 5 터널에서 터널내 압력 및 터널 출구에서의 미기압을 실측하여, 수치시뮬레이션의 입력조건으로 사용된 각종 매개변수 등의 적정성을 비교 검증하였으며, 모형실험을 통하여 합리적인 미기압과 저감대책을 제시하였다.

In order to investigate water flow characteristics after inrushing in process of karst tunnel excavation, numerical simulations for five case studies of water inrush from the tunnel floor are carried out by using the FLUENT software on the background of Qiyueshan high risk karst tunnel. Firstly, the velocity-distance curves and pressure-distance curves are drawn by selecting a series of probing lines in a plane. Then, the variation characteristics of velocity and pressure are analyzed and the respective optimized escape routes are made. Finally, water flow characteristics after inrushing from the tunnel floor are discussed and summarized by comparing case studies under the conditions of different water-inrush positions and excavation situations. The results show that: (1) Tunnel constructors should first move to the tunnel side wall and then escape quickly when water inrush happens. (2) Tunnel constructors must not stay at the intersection area of the cross passage and tunnels when escaping. (3) When water inrush from floor happens in the left tunnel, if tunnel constructors meet the cross passage during escaping, they should pass through it rapidly, turn to the right tunnel and run to the entrance. (4) When water inrush from floor happens in the left tunnel, if there is not enough time to escape, tunnel constructors can run to the trolley and other equipment in the vicinity of the right tunnel working face. In addition, some rescuing equipment can be set up at the high location of the cross passage. (5) When water inrush from floor happens in the cross passage, tunnel constructors should move to the tunnel side wall quickly, turn to the tunnel without water inrush and run to the entrance. (6) When water inrush from floor happens in the cross passage, if there is not enough time to escape, tunnel constructors can run to the trolley and other equipment near by the left or the right tunnel working face. The results are of important practical significance and engineering value to ensure the safety of tunnel construction.

Theoretical study has been conducted to clarify pressure characteristics of KTX (Korea Train eXpress) in tunnel. The severe pressure change in tunnel may give rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. Critical tunnel lengths which are induced by x-t diagram analysis can be applied to the experimental results measured by using the running test with atmospheric pressure sensors and portable data acquisition system in previous study. In this study, the tunnels from 200m to 4000m in length have been chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. We found that there are similar patterns of external pressure change for each critical tunnel length. The critical tunnel lengths are governed by train speed, train length and sonic velocity. And, the patterns of pressure wave in tunnel are classified into eight groups.

고속 열차는 승객과 화물을 대량으로 빠른 시간에 운송할 수 있어 세계 여러 나라에서 고속철도 건설이 증가하고 있다. 열차가 고속으로 주행할 경우 열차의 전두부에 공기 저항이 발생하며, 이러한 공기 저항을 감소시키기 위하여 열차의 형상을 유선형으로 설계한다. 고속으로 주행하는 열차가 터널에 진입할때, 터널 내에서 발생한 공기 저항으로 인하여 개활지 주행 시 보다 훨씬 큰 동력이 요구된다. 따라서 열차가 터널에 진입할 때 열차에 작용하는 공기 저항을 감소시키기 위하여 열차의 주행 속도를 감소시킨다. 이렇게 열차의 속도를 감소시킬 경우, 고속 열차의 운송 능력 및 장점이 감소되기 때문에 터널 내에서 열차 주행으로 인하여 발생되는 공기 저항을 감소시키는 설비가 필수적이다. 이 연구에서는 터널 내에서 열차의 고속 주행을 위하여 필요한 공기 압력 제어 시스템의 효과를 분석하기 위하여 1차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 1차원 수치해석 프로그램을 통하여, 터널의 단면적 및 공기압력 제어 덕트의 단면적과 배치 간격이 터널 내에서 발생하는 공기 저항에 미치는 영향을 상세히 분석하였다.
