$PM_{10}$ concentrations were measured at four monitoring sites at the Daechaung station of the Seoul subway. The four locations included two tunnels, a platform, and a waiting room. The outside site of the subway was also monitored for comparison purposes. In addition, the effect of the platform screen doors (PSDs) recently installed to isolate the $PM_{10}$ in a platform from a tunnel were evaluated, and a comparison between $PM_{10}$ levels during rush and non-rush hours was performed. It was observed that $PM_{10}$ levels in the tunnels were generally higher than those in the other locations. This might be associated with the generation of $PM_{10}$ within the tunnel due to the train braking and wear of the subway lines with the motion of the trains, which promotes the mixing and suspension of particulate matter. During this tunnel study, it was observed that the particle size of $PM_{10}$ ranged from 1.8 to 5.6 ${\mu}m$. It was revealed that the $PM_{10}$ levels in the tunnels were significantly increased by the PSDs, while those in the platform and waiting room decreased. As a result, in order to estimate the effect of ventilation system on $PM_{10}$ levels in the tunnels, fans with inverters were operated. It was found that the concentration of $PM_{10}$ was below 150 ${\mu}g/m^3$ when the air flow rate into a tunnel was approximately 210,000-216,000 CMH.

전자뇌관을 사용하여 근접 보안물건에 대한 터널발파 진동제어를 위해서는 근거리 발파진동 특성에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 터널발파 진동의 결정에 있어서, 심발부와 확대부의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위한 계측자료는 "원주~강릉 복선전철 제${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$공구 노반건설공사" ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ 터널 현장의 기존 도로 하부통과 구간에서 획득하였다. 이에, 0.01%의 높은 시차 정밀도를 가진 터널용 전자발파시스템을 활용하여, 최대 지발당 장약량을 정밀하게 유지함으로써 뇌관 오차에 의한 진동 증폭현상을 제거하고, 진동제어에 유리한 심빼기 발파방법으로 번 컷(Burn-Cut)을 채택하였다. 그 결과, 심발부의 진동수준이 가장 높다는 일반적인 발파 상식과 달리 확대부의 진동수준이 상대적으로 더욱 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로, 근접 거리의 터널 발파진동은 전자뇌관을 심발부에 적용함으로서 저감시킬 수 있으며, 전체 영역에 전자뇌관을 사용할 경우 더욱 효과적으로 발파진동을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

막장 전방에 파쇄대 등의 불연속면이 존재할 경우, 이를 미리 예측하지 못한채로 굴진을 하게 되면 파쇄대로 인해 터널 굴진에 따라 발생된 종방향 아칭에 영향을 주어 막장면 전방에 응력이 집중하게 된다. 터널 및 지하공간의 설계시에는 불확실한 설계요소를 과다하게 내포하고 있으므로 경제적이고 안정성이 확보된 터널 시공을 위해서는 터널 막장면에서의 정확한 계측으로 막장 전방의 파쇄대를 예측하여 터널 지보체계에 신속히 대비함이 필요하다. 최근의 연구결과에 의하면 3차원 절대변위계측에 의해 터널의 시공 시 굴진에 따라 지반의 강도차이로 인해 발생된 종방향 변위의 변화를 측정하여 막장 전방의 불연속면을 미리 예측할 수 있다고 하였다. 본 연구는 혼합법을 사용한 3차원 수치해석으로부터 얻어지는 변위로부터 L/C (천단부의 종방향 변위[L]와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비 )와 S/C (측벽의 수평방향 변위[S]와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비), (Ll-Lr)/C (좌측벽의 종방향변위[Ll]와 우측벽의 종방향변위[Lr]의 차와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비), 평사투영법을 중심으로 지반에 파쇄대가 존재할 경우에 대해 여러 가지 초기 지중응력조건에서 터널 굴착에 따른 3차원 절대 변위를 분석하여 그 존재를 예측할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다.

There is increasing interest in using structural monitoring as a cost effective way of managing risks once an area of concern has been identified. However, it is challenging to deploy an effective, reliable, large-scale, long-term and real-time monitoring system in an underground railway environment (subway / metro). The use of wireless sensor technology allows for rapid deployment of a monitoring scheme and thus has significant potential benefits as the time available for access is often severely limited. This paper identifies the critical factors that should be considered in the design of a wireless sensor network, including the availability of electrical power and communications networks. Various issues facing underground deployment of wireless sensor networks will also be discussed, in particular for two field case studies involving networks deployed for structural monitoring in the Prague Metro and the London Underground. The paper describes the network design, the radio propagation, the network topology as well as the practical issues involved in deploying a wireless sensor network in these two tunnels.

석회암 사면에서 터널 출입구를 시공하기 위하여 진입로를 개설하던 중 사면붕괴가 발생되었다. 사면의 붕괴원인을 조사하기 위하여 현장조사, 실내시험 및 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과에 따르면 터널 출입구 진입로 개설이전 사면안전율은 1.0이하이며, 진입로 개설이후 사면안전율은 더 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 진입로 개설이후 전단변형률 및 소성영역은 사면상부에서 하부로 전이되므로 사면활동영역이 증가되어 사면안정성을 저하시키는 것으로 해석되었다. 터널 출입구 시공을 위해서는 해당사면에 대한 안정성을 확보하여야 하므로, 대상현장의 조건을 고려하여 록볼트, 록앵커 및 FRP 그라우팅을 사면에 보강하는 것으로 결정하였다. 적용된 사면보강공법의 효과를 확인하기 위하여 현장계측을 수행하였다. 현장계측결과 사면지반의 수평변위는 매우 미소하며, 대부분 발생된 이후 다시 회복되는 탄성거동을 보였다. 그리고 록볼트 및 앵커축력은 터널굴착작업 및 장마기간에 의한 영향보다는 사면굴착작업시 영향을 가장 크게 받으며, 터널굴착작업이후 수렴하는 경향을 보이므로 대상사면은 안정한 상태임을 확인할 수 있다.

Three different applications for monitoring displacements in underground structures using a BOTDR-based distributed optical fiber strain sensing system are presented. These applications are related to the strain measurements of (1) instrumented PVC tube designed to be attached to tunnel side wall and ceiling as a sensor; (2) rock bolts for tunnels; and (3) shotcrete lining under loading. The effectiveness of using the proposed strain sensing system is evaluated by carrying out laboratory tests, in-situ measurements, and numerical simulations. The results obtained from this validation process provide confidence that the optical fiber is able to quantify strain fields under a variety of loading conditions and consequently use this information to estimate the behavior of rock mass during mining activity. As the measuring station can be located as far as 1 km of distance, these alternatives presented may increase the safety of the mine during mining process and for the personnel doing the measurements on the field.

The proper functioning of critical points on transport infrastructure is decisive for the entire network. Tunnels and bridges certainly belong to the critical points of the surface transport network, both road and rail. Risk management should be a holistic and dynamic process throughout the entire life cycle. However, the level of risk is usually determined only during the design stage mainly due to the fact that it is a time-consuming and costly process. This paper presents a simplified quantitative risk analysis method that can be used any time during the decades of a tunnel's lifetime and can estimate the changing risks on a continuous basis and thus uncover hidden safety threats. The presented method is a decision support system for tunnel managers designed to preserve or even increase tunnel safety. The CAPITA method is a deterministic scenario-oriented risk analysis approach for assessment of mortality risks in road tunnels in case of the most dangerous situation - a fire. It is implemented through an advanced risk analysis CAPITA SW. Both, the method as well as the resulting software were developed by the authors' team. Unlike existing analyzes requiring specialized microsimulation tools for traffic flow, smoke propagation and evacuation modeling, the CAPITA contains comprehensive database with the results of thousands of simulations performed in advance for various combinations of variables. This approach significantly simplifies the overall complexity and thus enhances the usability of the resulting risk analysis. Additionally, it provides the decision makers with holistic view by providing not only on the expected risk but also on the risk's sensitivity to different variables. This allows the tunnel manager or another decision maker to estimate the primary change of risk whenever traffic conditions in the tunnel change and to see the dependencies to particular input variables.

Prediction of lining loads due to tunnelling is one of the major issues to be addressed in the design of a tunnel. The objective of this study is to investigate rational and realistic design loads on tunnel linings. factors influencing the lining load are summarized and discussed. The instruments for measuring the lining loads are reviewed and discussed because field measurements are often necessary to verify the design methods. Tunnel construction in the City of Edmonton has been very active for storm and sanitary purposes. Since the early 1970's, the city has also been developing an underground Light Rail Transit system. The load measurements obtained from these tunnels are compared with the results from the existing design methods. However, none of the existing methods are totally satisfactory, Therefore, there is some room for improvement in the prediction of lining loads. The convergence-confinement method is reviewed and applied to a case history of a tunnel in Edmonton. The convergence curves are obtained from 2-D finite element analyses using three different material models and theoretical equations. The limitation of the convergence-confinement method is discussed by comparing these curves with the field measurements. Three-dimensional finite element analyses are performed to gain a better understanding of stress and displacement behaviour near the tunnel face. An improved design method is proposed based on the review of existing design methods and the performance of numerical analyses. A specific method or combination of two different methods is suggested for the estimation of lining loads for different conditions of tunnelling. A method to determine the stress reduction factor is described. Typical values of dimensionless load factors nD/H for tunnels in Edmonton are obtained from parametric analyses. Finally, the loads calculated using the proposed method are compared with field measurements collected from various tunnels in terms of soil types and construction methods to verify the method. The proposed method gives a reasonable approximation of the lining loads. The proposed method is recommended as an approximate guideline for the design of tunnels, but the results should be confirmed by field measurements due to the uncertainties of the ground and lining properties and the construction procedures, This is the reason that in-situ monitoring should be an integral part of the design procedure.

This paper presents the field measurement results of wind effects on a super-tall building (CITIC Plaza, 391 m high) located in Guangzhou. The field data such as wind speed, wind direction and acceleration responses were simultaneously and continuously recorded from the tall building by a wind and vibration monitoring system during two typhoons. The typhoon-generated wind characteristics including turbulence intensity, gust factor, peak factor, turbulence integral length scale and power spectral density of fluctuating wind speed were presented and discussed. The dynamic characteristics of the tall building were determined based on the field measurements and compared with those calculated from a 3D finite element model of the building. The measured natural frequencies of the two fundamental sway modes of the building were found to be larger than those calculated. The damping ratios of the building were evaluated by the random decrement technique, which demonstrated amplitude-dependent characteristics. The field measured acceleration responses were compared with wind tunnel test results, which were found to be consistent with the model test data. Finally, the serviceability performance of the super-tall building was assessed based on the field measurement results.

대도심지의 교통 체증 문제로 발생되는 경제적 손실의 해결방안으로 대심도 지하도로 개발이 국내외적으로 대두되고 있으며, 이 중 일부는 시공성 및 경제성이 뛰어난 복층터널로 계획되고 있다. 그러나 복층터널은 하나의 굴착단면에 중간 슬래브를 설치하여 상 하행선으로 사용하는 특수한 구조로 인해 일반 터널보다 층고가 낮게 설치되어 터널내에서 발생되는 화재사고 및 환기 문제에 대해 비교적 취약하다. 따라서, 복층터널의 방재적 약점을 극복하기 위해서는 복층터널에 최적화된 방재 설비구축 연구가 국내에서도 체계적으로 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 복층터널 화재 안전성 향상을 위해 화재발생시 초기 화재 진압 및 확산 방지가 가능한 자동모니터 소화설비를 개발하였으며, 차량화재 진압 실험을 통해 성능시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과로부터 30 m 거리의 차량내부화재 및 10 m 거리의 엔진룸 화재에 대해 화재 확산 방지 및 진압 효과를 확인하였다.
