고속도로의 터널구간은 일반구간과는 다른 주행특성(속도, 교통량, 밀도 등)을 가지게 되고 이에 따라 고속도로 일반부에서 터널진입 전과 후에 운전자 행태가 변하는데, 가장 대표적인 예가 속도의 감소 현상이라 할 수 있다. 하지만, 이러한 다양한 요인들 중 현재까지 연구의 진행 추세는 도로의 용량, 속도감소 측면의 정량적인 부분에 초점을 맞춘 연구들 위주로 진행되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 터널의 다양한 여건을 고려할 수 있는 구간을 대상으로 설문조사와 중요도-만족도(IPA: Importance Performance Analysis)분석을 시행한다. 수행된 분석결과를 바탕으로 이용자가 실질적으로 인식하고 있는 고속도로 터널부 속도저감의 정성적인 개선사항을 제시한다. 분석결과, 이용자의 경우, 최근 증가 추세인 장대터널과 관련된 터널 자체의 형상(길이, 내부의 곡선형태)에 대한 개선을 요구하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 전문가의 경우, 이용자에 비해 세부적인 기하구조(노견 및 차로폭)에 대한 개선을 요구하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 이용자와 전문가 사이에는 정성적인 설계요소측면에서 다소 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 관점 차이를 반영하여 개선사항을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이용자와 전문가 모두가 공통적으로 요구하고 있는 개선사항으로는 터널 입구 보임여부인 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 개선이 요구되고 있다. 둘째, 관점에 대한 차이는 이용자의 경우 장대터널 자체(형상)에 대한 전반적인 부담이 존재하는 반면, 전문가의 경우 장대터널의 지속적인 보급은 유지하되 세부적 기하구조 요소(노견 및 차로폭)에 대한 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 터널길이와 곡선형태의 측면에서 많은 관점의 차이를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Secondary accident is common type of accident which occurs in Korean highway tunnels. Fatality rate of secondary accidents in highway tunnels is six time higher than primary accidents. Video type VMS is a new way of providing information to road users which was recently introduced by Korean government to prevent secondary accidents in highway tunnels. In this study we compared changes in driver's behavior when information is provided by Text type and Video Type VMS. In addition to analyze effects of secondary accident reduction, driving behavior was analyzed based on providing advance information by video type VMS at tunnel entrance. Analysis showed that both text type and video type VMS has similar effect on driver behavior. Video type VMS showed positive effect on driver's behavior to prevent secondary accident when information is provided 1km ahead of accident. Considering there results and the short-term memory characteristics of driver, it was determined that information should be provide at about 650m from the entrance of the tunnel. The results of this study are consistent with the requirement that VMS should be installed at least 500m ahead of tunnel and produce more accurate providing information points. 650m is also appropriate interval for providing information in tunnel to cope with an accident ahead.

In this study, a total of 10 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including BTEX were determined in the inside and outside of a highway thnnel in order to evaluate the emission profile of automobile exhaust with respect to the concentrations, relative ratio and correlation coefficient of target analytes. In addition to VOCs, CO $CO_2 and NO_2$ were measured simultaneously. The results of this study indicated that the most abundant compound was toluene followed by benzene and m+p-xylenes, and the correlation coefficients between VOCs except styrene were higher than 0.96. The concentration ratio of toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes with respect to benzene measured in the inside of tunnel was 1.5, 0.13, 0.74, respectively. Such ratios were found to be very similar to those measured in tunnels in the USA.

The continually growing demand for underground space in dense urban cities is also driving the demand for underground highways. Building the underground highway tunnel, however, can involve complex design and construction considerations, particularly when there exists divergence or convergence in the tunnel. In this study, interaction between two asymmetric noncircular tunnels-that is, a larger main tunnel and a smaller tunnel diverging from the main tunnel, was investigated by examining the distributions of the principal stresses and the strength/stress ratio for varying geometric conditions between the two tunnels depending on diverging conditions using both numerical analysis and scale model test. The results of numerical analysis indicated that for the $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ diverging directions, the major principal stress showed an initial gradual decrease and then a little steeper increase with the increased distance from the left main tunnel, except for $90^{\circ}$ where a continuous drop occurred, whereas the minor principal stress exhibited an opposite trend with the major principal stresses. The strength/stress ratio showed generally a bell-shaped but little skewed to left distribution over the distance increased from the left larger tunnel, similarly to the variation of the minor principal stress. For the inter-tunnel distance less than 0.5D, the lowest strength/stress ratio values were shown to be below 1.0 for all diverging directions ($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$). The failure patterns observed from the model test were found to be reasonably consistent with the results of numerical analysis.

The number of tunnel has fast increased with the rapid expansion of highway network. Tunnel should be designed to provide for drivers both safety and pleasant driving conditions. In this perspective, the design for tunnel lightning is very important in order to provide its safety, pleasantness, and cost-efficiency of maintenance, all of which should be considered and analyzed for a better tunnel lighting. This paper attempts to compare the low-pressure sodium lamp, which have usually been used for tunnel lighting, with the fluorescent lamp, which we consider as an alternative for the former. In an effort to determine the number of lamps to meet the required illuminance in the tunnel, this research employs a simulation technique which would allow us to conjecture, with the aid of basic model, the life cycle cost for illumination per each tunnel. This analysis is expected to provide a basic method and related information for tunnel development and design.

Rock damage induced by blasting can not be avoided during tunnel construction and may affect tunnel stability. But the mutual interaction between tunnel blasting design and tunnel stability design is generally not considered. Therefore this study propose a methodology to take into considration the results of the blasting damage in tunnel stability design. Rock damage is evaluated by dynamic numerical analysis for the most common blasting pattern adopted in road tunnel. Damage zone is determined by using the continuum damage model which is expressed as a function of volumetric strain. And the damage effect is taken into account by the damaged rock stiffness and the damaged failure criteria in tunnel stability assessment. The extend of plastic zone and deformation increase compared to the case of not considering blast-induced rock damage.

PURPOSES : This study has been performed with the objective to determine threshold zone luminance of adaptation luminance by target safety level in a vehicular traffic tunnel with design speed set at 100km/h. METHODS : The study made a miniature capable of portraying changes in luminance distribution within $2{\times}10^{\circ}$ conical field of view of the driver approaching to the tunnel for the test. Test conditions were set based on justifications for CIE 88-1990's threshold zone luminance used as a reference by domestic tunnel light standards (KS C 3703 : 2010). Luminance contrast of object background and object is 23%, object presentation duration is 0.5 seconds, and size of the object background is $7.3{\times}11.5m^2$ RESULTS : Threshold zone luminance was set within adaptation luminance of $100{\sim}3,000cd/m^2$. Adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance based on 50%, 75% and 90% target safety level all showed a relatively high linear relationship. According to findings in the study, it is not appropriate to specify the relationship between adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance as luminance ratio. Rather, direct utilization of the linear relationship gained from the study findings appears to be the better solution. CONCLUSIONS : Findings of this study may be used to determine operation of threshold zone luminance based on target safety level. However, a proper verification and validity of test results are required. Furthermore, a study to determine proper threshold zone luminance level considering target safety level reviewed in this study and various decision-making factors such as economic conditions in Korea and energy-related policies should be carried out in addition. Additional tests on adaptation luminance greater than $3,000cd/m^2$ will be performed, through which application scope of the test findings will be broadened.

Most tunnel lining material which has been used in the domestic is a concrete. But many problems as the construction period, the cost, and the crack occurrence for the design, construction, and management were happened in the concrete lining. For this reason, many research institutes like the Korea Highway Corporation recognize the necessity of an alternate material development and grow on the interest for that. So in this study, the seismic behaviour characteristics for the application of the Corrugated Steel Plate Lining in cut-and-cover tunnel are evaluated as several conditions for the backfill height, the cutting slope, and the relative density of backfill soil are changed. The compressive stress which is calculated in the Corrugated Steel Plate Lining by the seismic load is decreased as the backfill height increases and the cut slope grows gentle. Also, the moment shows the tendency of decrease according to the increase of the backfill height. But in the case of the relative density of the backfill soil is small, the moment increases according to the increase of the backfill height and affects the dynamic behaviour characteristic. So it is considered that the relative density of the backfill soil is also the important point. As the result in analyzing the seismic response characteristics of the reinforcement spacing of the Corrugated Steel Plate, the variation in the compressive force is hardly happened, but the moment and the shear force increase on the reinforcement spacing being narrow.
