It is a key issue in the tunnel design to evaluate the stability of the excavation face. Two efficient analytical models in the context of the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and the limit analysis method (LAM) are used to carry out the deterministic calculations of the safety factor. The safety factor obtained by these two models agrees well with that provided by the numerical modelling by FLAC 3D, but consuming less time. A simple probabilistic approach based on the Mote-Carlo Simulation technique which can quickly calculate the probability distribution of the safety factor was used to perform the probabilistic analysis on the tunnel face stability. Both the cumulative probabilistic distribution and the probability density function in terms of the safety factor were obtained. The obtained results show the effectiveness of this probabilistic approach in the tunnel design.

터널 굴착은 응력해방을 발생시키기 때문에 연약한 지반에서의 터널 굴착 시에는 막장의 안정성 확보가 무엇보다도 중요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 대한 대책 공법 중 굴착대상 막장면을 일정한 강성을 가진 강봉이나 유리섬유 파이프를 이용하여 선행 보강하는 페이스 볼트 공법이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 페이스 볼트를 이용한 막장 보강공법의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 페이스 볼트 공법이 필요한 연약한 지반에서 타설 되는 볼트의 개수를 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100개의 6가지 Case와 길이를 0.5D (2가지), 1.0D, 1.5D, 2.0D의 5가지 Case에 관하여 $FLAC^{3D}$ Ver.2.1을 이용해 3차원 연속체 해석을 실시하였다.

In the study, an expert system was developed to predict the safety of tunnel and select proper tunnel reinforcement system using fuzzy quantification theory and fuzzy inference rule based on tunnel information database, For this development, many tunnelling sites were investigated and the applied countermeasures were studied after building tunnel database. There will be benefit for the deciding tunnel reinforcement method in the case of poor ground condition. The expert system developed in the study has two main parts, pre-module and post-module. Pre-module is used to decide input items of tunnel information based on the tunnel face mapping information which can be easily obtained in in-situ site. Then, using fuzzy quantification theory II, fuzzy membership function is composed and tunnel safety level is inferred through this membership function. Post-module is used to infer the applicability of each reinforcement methods according to the face level. The result of the predicted reinforcement system level was similar to measured ones. In-situ data were obtained in three tunnel sites including subway tunnel under Han River. Therefore, this system will be helpful to make the mose of in-situ data available and suggest proper applicability of tunnel reinforcement system to development more resonable tunnel support method without dependance of some experienced experts opinions.

Evaluating the stability of the excavation face of the cross-river shield tunnel with good accuracy is considered as a nonlinear and multivariable complex issue. Understanding the stability evaluation method of the shield tunnel excavation face is vital to operate and control the shield machine during shield tunneling. Considering the instability mechanism of the excavation face of the cross-river shield and the characteristics of this engineering, seven evaluation indexes of the stability of the excavation face were selected, i.e., the over-span ratio, buried depth of the tunnel, groundwater condition, soil permeability, internal friction angle, soil cohesion and advancing speed. The weight of each evaluation index was obtained by using the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy weight method. The evaluation model of the cross-river shield construction excavation face stability is established based on the idea point method. The feasibility of the evaluation model was verified by the engineering application in a cross-river shield tunnel project in China. Results obtained via the evaluation model are in good agreement with the actual construction situation. The proposed evaluation method is demonstrated as a promising and innovative method for the stability evaluation and safety construction of the cross-river shield tunnel engineerings.

The face stability of shield tunnelling is the most important control index for safety risk management. Based on the reliability of the transparent clay (TC) model test, a series of TC model tests under different buried depth were conducted to investigate the progressive failure mechanism of tunnel face. The support pressure was divided into the rapid descent stage, the slow descent stage and the basically stable stage with company of the local failure and integral failure in the internal of the soil during the failure process. The relationship between the support pressure and the soil movement characteristics of each failure stage was defined. The failure occurred from the soil in front of the tunnel face and propagated as the slip zone and the loose zone. The fitted formulas were proposed for the calculation of the failure process. The failure mode in clay was specified as the basin shape with an inverted trapezoid shape for shallow buried and appeared as the basin shape with a teardrop-like shape in deep case. The implications of these findings could help in the safety risk management of the underground construction.

터널의 페이스매핑(face mapping)을 신속하고 신뢰성 있게 수행하기 위하여 디지털 사진으로부터 3차원 좌표의 점군(point cloud)을 생성하고 이로부터 절리면의 방향과 간격 및 암질지수(R.Q.D), 절리면 거칠기 등을 분석하였다. 분석결과를 공학적 암반분류 방법인 RMR(Rock Mass Rating)과 Q 시스템에 입력하여 보강방법을 결정하고 터널을 시공하였다. 그 결과 터널 페이스매핑 작업의 안전성을 높이면서, 분석부터 보강작업까지의 시간을 절약하였다. 또 터널 막장면의 디지털 영상과 공학적 암반분류용 정보를 객관적으로 평가하고 필요 시재분석이 가능하도록 보존함으로써 보강등급 결정과 터널보강 방법의 신뢰도를 높였다.

굴진장이 터널의 안정성 및 시공비에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 많은 연구자와 기술자들이 잘 알고 있지만, 아직 굴진장 결정에 대해서 일관된 절차가 수립되지는 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 굴진장을 고려한 연암터널의 막장과 무지보 구간의 거동형태를 실내모형실험, PFC3D 및 FDM 해석을 통하여 조사하였다. 총 다섯 개의 거동형태를 정의하였고, 막장 안전율과 설계 도표를 통해 거동형태를 정량적으로 판단할 수 있도록 하였다. 비록 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 몇몇 제한을 갖지만, 굴진장과 굴착의 최적화를 위한 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To ensure the safety of the tunnelling without the loss of economy, the tunnel seismic profiling(TSP) method for the prediction ahead of tunnel face, begins to be used routinely in these days. TSP method does not interfere the tunnelling works while the horizontal drilling does, and its prediction length is longer than that of the drilling. Yet the most frequently adopted technique of TSP in Korea is the multi-shot and 2 receiver array using in-hole receivers, even though this array requires as many as 26 drill-holes for receiver installation and ballasting, which results in 3-6 hours of suspension in excavation work. In this paper, multi-receiver and lesser shot array using side-wall attached 3 component geophones is to be described to prove the efficiency in terms of the survey time as well as the reliability of the method by comparison of the predicted weak points and the face mapping results. The predictions mostly agreed with the real fractures or joint developed zones which have been confirmed during the excavation. It also has been found that TSP method can be effectively applied to perform draining ground water ahead of tunnel face by imaging the geologic discontinuities.

터널 시공 시에 관찰되는 막장의 상태는 굴착예정 막장의 지질상태를 가장 잘 표현하며, 지보패턴의 결정에 큰 영향을 미치므로 막장지질조사는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 막장지질조사를 통해서 단순히 암반평가만을 수행하는 것이 아니라 터널 시공 중에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 모든 지질요소 등을 관찰하여 다음 시공 막장의 지반상태를 예측하여야 한다. 그러나 현재 막장지질조사 시 기술 및 경험, 시간적인 제약 등으로 인한 한계로 조사결과를 시공에 충분히 반영하지 못하는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 기 시공된 국내 터널의 막장관찰기록지의 기록상황을 집계하여 막장지질조사의 문제점을 분석하고 그 개선 방안을 제시하였다
