An investigation of tunnel linings is performed at two tunnels in the US using complimentary noncontact techniques: air-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR), and a vehicle-mounted scanning system (SPACETEC) that combines laser, visual, and infrared thermography scanning methods. This paper shows that a combination of such techniques can maximize inspection coverage in a comprehensive and efficient manner. Since ground-truth is typically not available in public tunnel field evaluations, the noncontact techniques used are compared with two reliable in-depth contact nondestructive testing methods: ground-coupled GPR and ultrasonic tomography. The noncontact techniques are used to identify and locate the reinforcement mesh, structural steel ribs, internal layer interfaces, shallow delamination, and tile debonding. It is shown that this combination of methods can be used synergistically to provide tunnel owners with a comprehensive and efficient approach for monitoring tunnel lining conditions.

A frame slab method has been proved as a possible and profitable construction solution for the urban tunnels with very shallow overburden and the excavation from the surface Is strictly limited. Since this method allows only a small amount of construction activities in the ground surface, the disturbances to the public and the surface traffic can be drastically reduced compared with the ordinary cut-and-cover method. The construction sequences of the method and the some of critical cautions needed are described in detail. Also a comprehensive numerical analysis including 2-D and 3-D analysis have been performed to verify the stability of the ground during the construction. It is revealed from this study that the frame slab method can be a quite successful solution for the shallow overburden tunnelling in urban area.

The stability of shallow cavities with an arbitrary profile is a difficult issue in geotechnical engineering. This paper investigates this problem on the basis of the upper bound theorem of limit analysis and the Hoek-Brown failure criterion. The influence of pore pressure is taken into consideration by regarding it as an external force acting on rock skeleton. An objective function is constructed by equating the internal energy dissipation to the external force work. Then the Lagrange variation approach is used to solve this function. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the analytical solutions with the published research. The relations between shallow and deep cavity are revealed as well. The detaching curve of cavity roof with elliptical profile is obtained. In order to facilitate the application of engineering practice, the numerical results are tabulated, which play an important role in tunnel design and stability analysis of roof. The influential factors on potential collapse are taken into consideration. From the results, the impact of various factors on the extent of detaching is seen intuitively.

저심도 터널 굴착시 예상되는 암반 거동을 정량적으로 파악하기 위해 계층 분석적 의사결정 방법과 암반 공학 시스템 방법을 적용하여 암반 거동 지수를 산정하였다. 복잡하고 조직화되지 않은 암반 거동을 효과적으로 결정하기 위해 쌍대 비교 매트릭스를 이용하는 계층 분석적 의사결정 방법과 상호 영향 매트릭스를 이용하는 암반 공학 시스템 방법을 적용하였고, 전문가 의견의 불확실성을 극복하고자 퍼지 델파이 방법을 적용하였다. 저심도 암반 터널 굴착 시 예상되는 암반 거동 유형으로 소성 변형, 낙반과 낙석을 제시하였다. 각각의 암반 거동 유형을 결정하기 위해 일축압축강도, 암질 지수와 절리 조건을 포함하는 암반 내생적 매개변수, 응력, 지하수와 지진 조건을 포함하는 암반 외생적 매개변수와 굴착 매개변수를 고하였다. 이를 서울 지하철 O호선 O공구 설계에 적용하여 예상되는 암반 거동 유형을 정량적인 암반 거동 지수로 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 계측자료와 해석방법의 조합에 의하여 지반진동을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 평가방법의 기본개념은 FRA(Federal Railway Administration)에서 발간한 진동상세평가 매뉴얼에서 제시한 방법과 유사하나 구체적 평가방법은 다양한 유형의 방진벽의 진동저감 효과를 용이하게 평가할 수 있도록 수정되었다. 터널바닥에 작용하는 하중밀도(force density)는 해당선로의 차량 및 궤도조건을 잘 고려할 수 있는 차량-궤도 상호작용해석에 의하여 산정하였다. 지반진동의 전파유동성(transfer mobility) 2차원 지반진동해석을 통하여 평가하였다. 지반진동의 2차원 해석은 각 모델간의 상대비교에 있어서는 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있으나 절대치 평가는 어렵다. 따라서 여기서는 사전에 계측된 자료와 해석결과의 비교를 통하여 실제 지반진동 전파특성을 반영할 수 있도록 계산된 전파유동성을 보완하였다. 정립된 진동평가방법을 적용하여 실제 진동민원문제가 크게 발생하였던 도시철도 저심도 터널구간을 대상으로 9가지 유형의 방진벽의 진동저감 효과를 분석하였다.

저토피 구간에서 기존터널 하부에 새로운 터널을 교차하여 신설할 때에 하부 터널굴착으로 인하여 발생하는 교차부 주변지반의 거동을 대형모형실험과 수치해석을 통하여 연구하였다. 모형실험결과 교차 전 후의 하부터널 굴착에 따른 종방향 응력전이가 상부터널에 의하여 차단됨을 알 수 있었다. 수치해석결과에 의하면 측압계수 K = 0.38인 경우에 응력그림자 현상으로 단일터널 천단부에서의 최소주응력 감소는 상하교차터널의 천단에서보다 크게 발생한다. 직각교차터널에서는 기존상부터널의 영향으로 응력그림자 현상이 나타나 단일터널에 비하여 작은 응력감소를 보인다.

The development of transportation in large cities requires the construction of twin tunnels located at shallow depth. As far as twin tunnels excavated in parallel are concerned, most of the cases reported in literature focused on considering the effect of the ground condition, tunnel size, depth, surface loads, the relative position between two tunnels, and construction process on the structural lining forces. However, the effect of the segment joints was not taken into account. Numerical investigation performed in this study using the $FLAC^{3D}$ finite difference element program made it possible to include considerable influences of the segment joints and tunnel distance on the structural lining forces induced in twin tunnels. The structural lining forces induced in the first tunnel through various phases are considerably affected by the second tunnel construction process. Their values induced in a segmental lining are always lower than those obtained in a continuous lining. However, the influence of joint distribution in the second tunnel on the structural forces induced in the first tunnel is insignificant. The critical influence distance between two tunnels is about two tunnel diameters.

Grouting technique is frequently used where a tunnel structure is passing through the shallow overburden area or where the thickness of hard rock above the tunnel is rather thin. However, engineering background on design process of the grout reinforcement does not seem to be fully understood until now. Mechanics of composite material is, therefore, introduced in this study to investigate the orthotropic material properties of the composites containing soil(or rock) and grouting material. These orthotropic material properties can be used to represent the reinfocement effects quantitatively. The model developed in this study is next applied to a typical tunnel structure and the grouting effect is analyzed numerically. The idea used in this study can be expanded to a situation where a pipe roofing or a forepoling technique is adopted and a simplified design procedure, similar to the model model introduced in this study, can be developed.

Cut and Cover Method is generally used in shallow tunnels and tunnel entrances with thin soil cover. In this type of cons0truction, backfilling is considered to be the most important process. In this process even though the backfill material is thoroughly compacted, compaction and self-weight due to vehicular vibration and pressure exerted by the soil cause the backfill material to undergo self-compression which leads to settlement. The settlement of the backfill material subjects the tunnel lining under excessive earth pressure which cause cracking and deformation. In the model test performed installation of geotextile on the sides and top of the tunnel was able to reduce the earth pressure acting on the tunnel lining.
