  • Along with the opening of the high speed railroad in 2004, the number of long tunnels constructed is increasing and will be continued. In this respect, the fro inside the tunnels is a main cause of drastic damages to both facilities and lives of passengers on board, especially more severe consequences are expected if the fire occurs on a train in urban area. Even though, the threat to human lives due to the increasing number of tong tunnels and increasing train operation times inside such tunnels is getting bigger, the studies to measure safety of the tunnel and to enhance the safety of passengers have not been carried out enough in Korea. Therefore, in this paper, we will use the probabilistic method to predict the average number of deaths of passengers in case of fire on a train iii tunnel, and show the potential risk to passengers which can be a guide for safer design of tunnels to be constructed.

  • The objective of this paper is to present abacuses obtained from a parametric study of deep-lined tunnels using a numerical finite element model. This numerical model was implemented in software GEOMEC91, which is a two-dimensional axisymmetric model that considers the progress of excavation and the placing of the lining through the activation and deactivation of elements. It is adopted a step of excavation constant (1/3 of radius), constant velocity and circular cross section along the tunnel axis. It is used for rock mass a viscoplastic constitutive law with von-Mises criterion of viscoplasticity without hardening whose deformation rate over time is given by the Bingham model. The lining uses a linear elastic constitutive law. In total are 1716 analysis presented in 60 abacuses that show the value of ultimate convergence ($U_{eq}$) due to tunneling speed. In addition, it is shown an example of the use of the abacuses to determine the ultimate convergence ($U_{eq}$) of the tunnel and pressure ($P_{eq}$) on the lining.

  • 본 연구에서는 장대 터널 화재시 연기의 거동 특성 파악과 피난연락갱의 설치간격을 결정하기 위하여 축소 모형실험을 실시하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. Froude 상사를 기본으로 1/50로 축소하여 20 m의 모형 터널을 제작하여 실험하였다. 터널 내 20 MW의 화재가 발생 하였을 경우 CO의 전파 속도와 거리와의 관계를 이용하여 피난연락갱의 위치를 검토한 결과, 승객들의 피난시간은 6분이 적절하나 화재시 승객들의 심리적 상태를 고려하여 1분여의 지체시간을 생각하면 실제의 피난시간은 5분 정도가 될 것이므로 최대 간격 250m로 대인용 피난연락갱을 설치하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The hydraulic deterioration of the drainage system in tunnel linings is one of the main factors governing long-term lining-ground interactions during the lifetime of tunnels. Thus, in the design procedure of a tunnel below the groundwater table, the possible detrimental effects associated with the hydraulic deterioration should be addressed. Hydraulic deterioration in double-lined tunnels can occur because of reasons such as clogging of the drainage layer and drain-pipe blockings. In this study, the coupled mechanical and hydraulic interactions between linings due to drain-pipe blockings are investigated using the finite-element method. A double-lined structural model incorporating hydraulic behavior is developed to represent the coupled structural and hydraulic behavior between the linings and drainage system. It is found that hydraulic deterioration hinders flow into the tunnel, causing asymmetric development of pore-water pressure and consequent detrimental effects to the secondary lining.

  • According to the 'Rules on the Safety Standard of Railroad Facilities', the 'Detailed Safety Standards of Railroad Facilities' and 'the Standards for Railroad Design' unified of MLTM(Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs), the risk analysis on the application of fire safety facilities should be quantitatively performed to ensure the safety in tunnels over 1km long. This paper aims at proposal of basic data for the safety facilities' planning with reasonable and appropriate scale through case studies on different model tunnels.

  • As industry develop rapidly, a possibility of railway-disasters (fire), are growing in consideration of speedy railway and increasing long tunnels. In Korea, KTX consists $46\%$ of tunnels constructed since early 1990, prescribed prevention disasters standard, taking into account that the train accident occurred. On this provision which refers other country's a high-speed railway fire safety regulation and is synthetically reflected topographical circumstance and tunnel size in Korea, in order to minimizing valuable casuality and securing safety operation of train from rapid evacuation and rescue a passenger from accident in tunnel.

  • Dynamic response of a rock tunnels by laminated porous concrete beam reinforced by nanoparticles subjected to harmonic transverse dynamic load is investigated considering structural damping. The effective nanocomposite properties are evaluated on the basis of Mori-Tanaka model. The concrete beam is modeled by the exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT). Utilizing nonlinear strains-deflection, energy relations and Hamilton's principal, the governing final equations of the concrete laminated beam are calculated. Utilizing differential quadrature method (DQM) as well as Newmark method, the dynamic displacement of the concrete laminated beam is discussed. The influences of porosity parameter, nanoparticles volume percent, agglomeration of nanoparticles, boundary condition, geometrical parameters of the concrete beam and harmonic transverse dynamic load are studied on the dynamic displacement of the laminated structure. Results indicated that enhancing the nanoparticles volume percent leads to decrease in the dynamic displacement about 63%. In addition, with considering porosity of the concrete, the dynamic displacement enhances about 2.8 time.

  • 지하수위 아래에 건설되는 복층터널은 비교적 대단면이며 비배수 터널로 건설되는 특징을 가지고 있다. 지하수위 하부에 위치하는 터널은 지하수로 인해 발생하는 부력으로부터 터널의 안정성 확보방안이 필요하다. 일반적으로 터널 라이닝과 지반사이의 경계면에서의 결합력은 부력에 대해 충분한 안정성을 발휘한다. 그러나 장기적인 시간이 경과하면 구조물의 열화로 인하여 결합력이 감소할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 장기적인 관점에서 부력으로 인한 복층터널의 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 부력으로 인해 터널 하단부분에서 변형과 라이닝에 작용하는 응력이 증가하였다. 본 연구로부터 운영중 터널의 라이닝과 지반사이의 결합력을 유지시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

  • As SOC (Social Overhead Capital) has been expanded, the highway road construction has been accelerated and city road system has been more complicated. So, long road tunnels have been increased and traffic flow rate also has been raised. Accordingly, the exhausting gas of vehicle cars seriously deteriorates the tunnel inside air quality and driving view. In order to improve tunnel inside air quality, we may need to introduce a compulsory ventilation system as well as natural ventilation mechanism. The natural ventilation mechanism is enough for short tunnels, meanwhile longer tunnels require a specific compulsory ventilation facility. Many foreign countries already have been devoting on development of effective tunnel ventilation system and especially, some European nations and Japan have already applied their developed tunnel ventilation system for longer road tunnels. More recently, as the quality of life improved, our concerns about safety of driving and better driving environment have been increased. In order to obtain clearer and longer driving view, we are more interested in EP tunnel ventilation system in order to remove floating contaminants and automobile exhaust gas. Evan though it's been a long time since many European countries and Japan applied more economical and environment-friendly tunnel ventilation system with their self-developed Electrostatic Precipitator, we are still dependant on imported system from foreign nations. Therefore, we need to develop our unique technical know-how for optimum design tools through validity investigation and continuous possibility examination, eventually in order to localize the tunnel ventilation system technology. In this project, we will manufacture test-run products to examine the performance of system in order to develop main parts of tunnel ventilation system such as electrostatic precipitator, high voltage power generator, water treatment system, etc.
