  • The buffer and backfill are important components of the engineered barrier system in a high-level waste repository, which should be constructed in a hard rock formation at a depth of several hundred meters below the ground surface. The primary function of the buffer and backfill is to seal the underground excavation as a preferred flow path for radionuclide migration from the deposited high-level waste. This study investigates the hydraulic conductivity and swelling pressure of Kyungju Ca-bentonite, which is the candidate material for the buffer and backfill in the Korean reference high-level waste disposal system. The factors that influence the hydraulic conductivity and swelling pressure of the buffer and backfill are analyzed. The factors considered are the dry density, the temperature, the sand content, the salinity and the organic carbon content. The possibility of deterioration in the sealing performance of the buffer and backfill is also assessed.

  • 일본 기후현의 카미오카광산은, 채광후의 지하공간을 연구나 실험시설로서 재활용하고 있는 광산중의 하나이다. 동 광산의 지하 약 1,000 m의 대심도에, 우주에서 도래하는 소립자의 관측과 양자의 붕괴현상 등을 연구하기 위한 실험시설 SUPER-KAMIOKANDE(KAMIOKA Nucleon Detective Experiment)가 건설되었다. 이 시설을 수용하는 지하공간은 직경 40m, 높이 42.4 m의 원통부와 그 상부에 높이 15.2 m의 반 타원형 돔부로 구성되어 있으며, 총 굴착 량은 $69,000\;m^3$ 균이었다. 지하공동 단면의 크기는 대형지하발전소와 비슷한 규모이지만, 공동의 형상이 종래에 그 예를 찾아 볼 수 없는 원통형이라는 것, 지하 10 m의 대심도이기 때문에 커다란 초기지압이 존재한다는 것, 그리고 굴착방법으로서 높이 10 m의 장공발파를 이용한다는 특수조건 하에서 공동의 굴착을 안전하고 경제적으로 실시하기 위해 초기지압결과를 이용하여 계측단면을 설정하여, 암반거동에 관한 계측계획 을 입안하였고, 지중 변위 측정, 록볼트 축력측정, 응력변화 측정을 실시하면서 시공관리를 실시하였다.

  • 가스배관 사고의 대표적인 원인 중 하나는 기계적 충격(타공사 등)으로 인한 사고이다. 이는 국내 주요 산업단지에 매설되어 있는 고압가스배관의 대다수가 매설 시기가 20년 이상인 노후 배관이기 때문에 사고 발생 시 별도의 검사 및 보강 시간 없이 대형 사고로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 타공사(굴착공사) 실험을 통해 기계적 충격 시 배관에 미치는 결함 정도에 대해 연구하였다. 실제 산업단지에서 굴착공사 시 사용되고 있는 21 ton 굴착기와 ASTM A106 Grade.B와 ASTM A53 Grade.B 배관을 이용해 타격실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 굴착기 작업에 이용되는 버켓 중 톱니 버켓 일 때 결함의 정도가 더 컷으며, 매설되어 있는 배관의 관경이 작을수록 결함의 깊이 및 길이가 큰 것을 확인하였다. 굴착기 작업 중 타격 높이는 매설 배관의 결함에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

  • The study on mechanical behavior of the structure at the site includes experimental method and numerical analysis method. Experimental method is categorized into true-scale test and laboratory model test. A laboratory model test is to monitor the failure mechanism with a model simulated similar with a real ground so as to identify the quantitative result, while a true-scale model test is the approach which enables to identify the potential problems that may occur with a simulated construction situation similar with a real site circumstance. Thus this study was intended to carry out the experimental test of non open-cut excavation by pipe roof method which is mostly common in domestic sites. as well as was aimed at identifying the ground behavior occurred during pipe penetration using laboratory model test. Appropriate reduced-scale model was selected, taking into account of domestic geological characteristics and operation characteristics of traditional and high-speed rail trains and the qualitative evaluation of displacement was carried out based on a certain ground loss volume depending on excavation after categorizing trackbed settlement pattern by depth of top soil.

  • Excavation of long tunnels by shielded TBMs is a safe, fast, and efficient method of tunneling that mitigates many risks related to ground conditions. However, long-distance tunneling in great depth through adverse geological conditions brings about limitations in the application of TBMs. Among various harsh geological conditions, squeezing ground as a consequence of tunnel wall and face convergence could lead to cluttered blocking, shield jamming and in some cases failure in the support system. These issues or a combination of them could seriously hinder the performance of TBMs. The technique of excavation has a strong influence on the tunnel response when it is excavated under squeezing conditions. The Golab water conveyance tunnel was excavated by a double-shield TBM. This tunnel passes mainly through metamorphic weak rocks with up to 650 m overburden. These metamorphic rocks (Shales, Slates, Phyllites and Schists) together with some fault zones are incapable of sustaining high tangential stresses. Prediction of the convergence, estimation of the creeping effects and presenting strategies to overcome the squeezing ground are regarded as challenging tasks for the tunneling engineer. In this paper, the squeezing potential of the rock mass is investigated in specific regions by dint of numerical and analytical methods. Subsequently, several operational solutions which were conducted to counteract the challenges are explained in detail.

  • The understanding of tool-rock interaction mechanism is of high essence for improving the rock breaking efficiency and optimizing the drilling parameters in mechanical rock breaking. In this study, the tool-rock interaction models of indentation and cutting are carried out by employing the discrete element method (DEM) to examine the rock failure modes of various brittleness rocks and critical indentation and cutting depths of the ductile to brittle failure mode transition. The results show that the cluster size and inter-cluster to intra-cluster bond strength ratio are the key factors which influence the UCS magnitude and the UCS to BTS ratio. The UCS to BTS strength ratio can be increased to a more realistic value using clustered rock model so that the characteristics of real rocks can be better represented. The critical indentation and cutting depth decrease with the brittleness of rock increases and the decreasing rate reduces dramatically against the brittleness value. This effort may lead to a better understanding of rock breaking mechanisms in mechanical excavation, and may contribute to the improvement in the design of rock excavation machines and the related parameters determination.

  • The development of shield-driven cross-river tunnels in China is witnessing a notable shift towards larger diameters, longer distances, and higher water pressures due to the more complex excavation environment. Complex geological formations, such as fault and karst cavities, pose significant construction risks. Real-time adjustment of shield tunneling parameters based on parameter prediction is the key to ensuring the safety and efficiency of shield tunneling. In this study, prediction models for the torque and thrust of the cutter plate of ultra-large diameter slurry shield TBMs is established based on integrated learning algorithms, by analyzing the real data of Heyan Road cross-river tunnel. The influence of geological complexities at the excavation face, substantial burial depth, and high water level on the slurry shield tunneling parameters are considered in the models. The results reveal that the predictive models established by applying Random Forest and AdaBoost algorithms exhibit strong agreement with actual data, which indicates that the good adaptability and predictive accuracy of these two models. The models proposed in this study can be applied in the real-time prediction and adaptive adjustment of the tunneling parameters for shield tunneling under complex geological conditions.

  • 선지보 네일공법은 터널의 굴착 전에 지반을 보강하므로 기존 지보시스템에 의한 NATM공법에 비해 굴착과정에서 변위를 최소화할 수 있어 안정성과 시공효율을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수위가 높고 미고결지반으로 구성된 천층터널에 대해 선지보 네일공법의 적용성을 현장계측관리 사례을 통해 연구하였으며, 지반보강개념에서 선지보 네일공법의 메카니즘과 기존 지보시스템의 메카니즘을 비교 분석하였다. 상하분할 굴착과정에서 굴착단계별 변위증폭이 뚜렷이 관찰되는 기존 지보시스템에 비해 선지보 네일공법은 초기변위 이후 단계굴착별 변위증폭량이 작고 이내 수렴되는 경향을 보여 다단굴착으로 인한 영향이 미미한 것으로 분석되었다. 선지보 네일공법은 종래 NATM공법과 비교할 때 단계굴착 시 응력변화에 대해 민감하고 아칭효과가 발생되지 않는 취약한 지반 즉, 토사터널인 천층터널에서 그 적용성이 뛰어난 것으로 판단된다.

  • This research aims to demonstrate the regional and site scale groundwater flow simulation for the high level radioactive disposal research site in Yu-seong. We used the Modflow by a finite difference method for groundwater flow simulation, and Modpath module in Modflow package for particle tracking simulation. The range of numerical domain for regional groundwater flow model is $16.32km{\times}20.16km$. And, the depth of numerical domain was expanded to 6,000m. The area of numerical domain for the site scale groundwater flow simulation is $1.6km{\times}1.6km$. Since 2005, the underground research tunnel(URT) is being constructed at KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. In the site scale groundwater flow model, the groundwater flow around the KAERI site is simulated. And the change of groundwater level with tunnel excavation is also predicted.

  • 터널굴착의 경제성 확보 및 굴착 시 발생하는 진동저감을 위해 워터젯 시스템을 활용한 새로운 형태의 암반 굴착공법이 개발되고 있다. 워터젯 절삭을 이용한 효율적인 암반 굴착을 위해서는 워터젯 절삭폭의 중첩과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 초고압 연마재 워터젯 시스템을 이용하여 절삭폭 중첩도 및 이격거리에 따른 화강암 시편 절삭실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 중첩도 단계에 따른 화강암 절삭성능을 분석하였다. 그리고 형상인자를 절삭깊이, 절삭폭, 그리고 절삭부피로 분류하여 중첩 절삭 후 단면의 형상을 분석하였다. 절삭폭 중첩도가 58% 이하가 되면 중첩이 충분하지 않아 연속적인 암반제거가 불가능하였다. 반면 절삭폭 중첩도 67% 이상에서는 과절삭 현상이 확인되었다. 한편 부분중첩(25~75%) 조건에서는 기존 워터젯 절삭에 비해 효율적인 부피제거가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 해당 연구는 워터젯을 활용한 암반 굴착 시 최적 중첩도를 결정하기 위한 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
