This paper addresses the issue of field measurement of excavation damage zone (EDZ) and its numerical simulation method considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects. Firstly, a 2000 m-deep rock cavern in China is focused. A detailed analysis is conducted on the field measurement data regarding the mechanical response of rock masses subjected to excavation and blasting operation. The extent of EDZ is revealed 3.6 m-4.0 m, accounting for 28.6% of the cavern span, so it is significantly larger than rock caverns at conventional overburden depth. The rock mass mechanical response subjected to excavation and blasting is time-independent. Afterwards, based on findings of the field measurement data, a numerical evaluation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects is presented. The basic idea and general procedures are illustrated. It features a calibration operation of damage constant, which is defined in an elasto-plastic damage constitutive model, and a regression process of blasting load using field blasting vibration monitoring data. The numerical simulation results are basically consistent with the field measurement results. Further, some issues regarding the blasting loads, applicability of proposed numerical method, and some other factors are discussed. In conclusion, the field measurement data collected from the 2000 m-deep rock cavern and the corresponding findings will broaden the understanding of tunnel behavior subjected to excavation and blasting at great depth. Meanwhile, the presented numerical simulation method for EDZ determination considering both excavation unloading and blasting load effects can be used to evaluate rock caverns with similar characteristics.

The development of a city is closely linked to the construction and operation of its subway system. However, constructing a new subway tunnel under an existing station is an extremely complex task, and the deformation characteristics and mechanical behavior of the new subway tunnel during the excavation process can greatly impact the normal operation of the existing station. Although the previous studies about the case of underpass engineering have been carried out, there is limited research on the condition of a newly-built subway tunnel that closely undercrossing an existing station with zero distance between them. Therefore, this study analyzes the deformation law and mechanical behavior characteristics of the preliminary lining of the underpass tunnel during the excavation process based on the real engineering case of Chengdu Metro Line 8. This study also makes an in-depth comparison of the influence of different excavation methods on this issue. Finally, the accuracy of numerical simulation is verified by comparing it with on-site result. The results indicate that the maximum bending moment mainly occurs at the floor slab of the preliminary lining, while that of the ceiling is small. The stress state at the ceiling position is less affected by the construction process of the pilot tunnel. Compared to the all-in-one excavation method, although the process of partial excavation method is more complicated, the deformation of preliminary lining caused by it is basically less than the upper limit value of the standard, while that of the all-in-one excavation method is beyond standard requirements.

당 현장 주변에 보안물건이 위치하고 있어, 기존 설계상에 176m 구간이 무진동 기계식 굴착공법으로 설계되었으나, 시공성 및 경제성 향상을 위하여 전자뇌관 미진동 발파공법을 제안하였다. 검토 결과, 발파소음, 진동 모두 허용기준 이내의 안전성을 확보하여 해당 구간에 대하여 전자뇌관 미진동 발파공법 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 아울러 검토 구간에서 무진동 굴착공법과 전자뇌관 미진동 발파공법을 비교한 결과, 공사 기간을 88일 단축하여 경제적으로 큰 이점이 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

TBM을 이용한 전력구 공사에서 수직구는 TBM 장비 및 전력선의 진출입을 위해 필수적인 구조물이다. 수직구는 지반을 수직으로 관통하여 굴착하기 때문에 암반을 굴착하는 경우가 많다. 암반 지반은 대부분 발파나 할암 공법을 적용하여 굴착하므로 이때 발생하는 소음 및 진동, 도로 점유로 인해 민원이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 기존 공법의 대안으로 기계식 굴착장비를 이용한 수직구 굴착을 고려하였다. 다만, 현 기술 수준에서 수직구 굴착장비는 암반의 압축강도 약 120 MPa 이상에서는 굴착성능이 현저히 저하되어 고강도 암반 지반 적용에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 암반에서 기계식 굴착 성능 개선을 위해 연마재 워터젯 기술을 굴착 보조공법으로 활용하는 방안에 대해 검토하였다. 연마재 워터젯 절삭성능에 대한 검증을 위해 암석 절삭실험을 수행하고, 실험결과로부터 이격거리, 이송속도, 수압 조절을 통해 지반조건 변화에 대응하여 굴착성능을 확보하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단하였다. 또한, 일축압축강도와 RQD, 굴진율의 관계를 이용하여 연마재 워터젯을 이용한 인위적인 절리생성을 통해 굴착성능을 향상시키는 방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 수직구 기계식 굴착장비 도입을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

For the deep excavation in urban area, the braced-cut method is mainly adopted. In this case, inadequate consideration of ground water level may result in wrong prediction of structural behavior. In this study, the effects of hydraulic interaction between wall and grout were investigated using the finite element method. The maximum stress in case of confined ground water condition is obtained at the final excavation stage in the range of 70~80% of excavation depth. The stress of impermeable case is about 50% larger than that of permeable case. When the relative permeabililty of wall-grout become smaller, the stress is getting bigger. And the stress tends to converge in case of 1/100 or less of the relative permeability.

There have been many studies regarding development of autonomous excavation system which is helpful in construction sites where repetitive jobs are necessary. Unfortunately, bucket trajectory planning was excluded from the previous studies. Since, the best use of excavator is to dig efficiently; purpose of this research was set to determine an optimized bucket trajectory in order to get best digging performance. Among infinite ways of digging any given path, criterion for either optimal or efficient bucket moves is required to be established. One method is to adopt work know-how from experienced excavator operator; However the work pattern varies from every worker to worker and it is hard to be analyzed. Thus, other than the work pattern taken from experienced operator, we developed an efficiency model to solve this problem. This paper presents a method to derive a bucket trajectory from optimization theory with empirical CLUB soil model. Path is greatly influenced by physical constraints such as geometry, excavator dimension and excavator workspace. By minimizing a energy function under these constraints, an optimal bucket trajectory could be obtained.

Engineering rock mass classification is extensively used to determine the reasonable support system throughout the tunneling process in the field. Selection of support system based on the results of engineering rock mass classification is simple and straight-forward. However, this method cannot consider the effect of in-situ stresses, mechanical properties of support material, and support installation time on the behavior or rock-support system To handle the various conditions encountered in the underground excavation sites rock-support system. To handle the various conditions encountered in th eunderground excavation sites rock-support interaction program has been developed. This program can analyze the interaction between rock mass and support materials and also can simulate the tunnel excavation-support insstallation process by controlling the support installation time and the stiffness of support system. Practical applicability of this program was verfied by comparing the results of support design to those from rock mass classification for virtual underground excavation at the drilling site KD-06 in Geoje island.

본 논문에서는 기존의 불연속 변형 해석(DDA) 방법에 대한 세가지 방향의 새로운 개선 방법들이 제시되었다. 이 개선 방법들은 암반 균열에서 암석 블록과 지하수 흐름의 수리-역학적 커플링, 연속적인 하중 재하 또는 제하, 그리고 록볼트, 숏크리트와 콘크리트 라이닝에 의한 보강으로 구성되었다. Shi (1988)와 Lin (1995)에 의한 기존 DDA 프로.그램은 이 방법들에 의하여 추가로 개선되었으며, 이 새로운 DDA프로그램에 대한 몇 가지 적용예들이 제시되었다. 또한, 경부고속철도 공사의 일부인 운주 터널의 지하굴착에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 절리를 통한 지하수의 흐름, 굴착순서, 그리고 록볼트와 숏크리트에 의한 보강이 터널안정에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과 절리를 통한 지하수의 흐름과 부적절한 굴착순서는 터널의 안정성에 악영향을 미치나, 한편 록볼트와 숏크리트에 의한 보강은 터널을 안정화 시킨다는 사실을 밝혀냈었다. 그 결과 세가지 개선방법이 추가된 DDA프로그램은 지하구조물 설계에 있어서 유용한 해석방법으로 사용될 수 있다는 사실을 보여주었다.

Along with the increasing demand for automatic and mechanical tunnel excavation methods in Korea, the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) method of tunnel excavation has become increasingly popular. However, in spite of this rising demand, few studies have been performed on the TBM method, in Korea. For this reason, this study focused on evaluation of the applicability of TBM performance prediction models based on field data in order to contribute to the basic and essential parts of TBM designation and the TBM method of tunnel excavation in Korea. These rock properties can be defined as the mechanical and physical factors of rock that have an influence on a disc cutter's ability to cut rock, and provide information for the evaluation of the applicability of field data. Based on outcomes from these tests, applicability of the prediction model was evaluated and the predicted performance of a TBM was compared with real field data obtained from four different TBM construction sites in Korea.
