PURPOSES : This study is to suggest tunnel length to spray curing compound, based on the field tests. METHODS : At first field test, length from the entrance of tunnel to wet wall was checked by visual survey. The second and third test, various sensors were installed in concrete or in tunnel, such as RH sensor, temperature sensor, portable weather station and etc.. And also, test for bleeding and retaining water of concrete were conducted to evaluate environmental effect on concrete pavement. RESULTS : The result of the field experiment for tunnel length to spray curing compound indicates that length changes depending on tunnel length, season, and location. Environmental condition of a short tunnel was not much different between location near entrance and at center of tunnel. However, in case of a medium and long tunnel, effect of outside environmental condition decreased, when location moved into tunnel center of it. CONCLUSIONS : From the testing results, it can be proposed that optimum tunnel length to spray curing compound is 60m for a medium and long tunnel, and whole length for a short tunnel.

Theoretical study has been conducted to clarify pressure characteristics of KTX (Korea Train eXpress) in tunnel. The severe pressure change in tunnel may give rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. Critical tunnel lengths which are induced by x-t diagram analysis can be applied to the experimental results measured by using the running test with atmospheric pressure sensors and portable data acquisition system in previous study. In this study, the tunnels from 200m to 4000m in length have been chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. We found that there are similar patterns of external pressure change for each critical tunnel length. The critical tunnel lengths are governed by train speed, train length and sonic velocity. And, the patterns of pressure wave in tunnel are classified into eight groups.

토사지반에서 얕은 터널을 굴착하는 경우, 터널 막장부의 파괴 메카니즘이 터널 안정성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 일련의 굴진장을 고려한 2차원 종 방향 터널 모형 실험을수행하였다. 그 결과 얕은 터널의 파괴 메카니즘은 굴진장이 길어질수록 파괴모드 1에서 파괴모드 2로 변하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 모형실험결과와 수치해석을 비교하여 터널에 작용하는 최소 지보압과 진행성 파괴 거동에 대하여 분석하였다.

By conducting three-dimensional simulation with consideration of small-strain characteristics of soil stiffness, the effects of excavation geometry and tunnel cover to diameter ratio on deformation mechanisms of an existing tunnel located either at a side of basement or directly underneath the basement were systematically studied. Field measurements were used to verify the numerical model and model parameters. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, the maximum settlement and horizontal displacement of the tunnel are always observed at the tunnel springline closer to basement and tunnel crown, respectively, regardless of basement geometry. By increasing basement length and width by five times, the maximum movements of tunnel located at the side of basement and directly underneath the basement increase by 450% and 186%, respectively. Obviously, tunnel movements are more sensitive to basement length rather than basement width. For basement excavated at a side of an existing tunnel, tunnel movements at basement centerline become stable when basement length reaches 10 H_e (i.e., final excavation depth). Moreover, tunnel heaves due to overlying basement excavation become stable when the normalized basement length (L/H_e) is larger than 8.0. As tunnel cover to diameter ratio varies from 2.5 to 3.0, the maximum heave and tensile strain of tunnel due to overlying basement excavation decrease by up to 41.0% and 44.5%, respectively. If basement length is less than 8 H_e, the assumption of plane strain condition of basement-tunnel interaction grossly overestimates tunnel movements, and ignores tensile strain of tunnel along its longitudinal direction. Thus, three-dimensional numerical analyses are required to obtain a reasonable estimation of tunnel responses due to adjacent and overlying basement excavations in clay.

Background: We conducted this study to determine the optimal length of patellar and tibial bone blocks for the modified transtibial (TT) technique in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft. Methods: The current single-center, retrospective study was conducted in a total of 64 patients with an ACL tear who underwent surgery at our medical institution between March 2015 and February 2016. After harvesting the BPTB graft, we measured its length and that of the patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block using the arthroscopic ruler and double-checked measurements using a length gauge. Outcome measures included the length of tibial and femoral tunnels, inter-tunnel distance, length of the BPTB graft, patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block and graft-tunnel length mismatch. The total length of tunnels was defined as the sum of the length of the tibial tunnel, inter-tunnel distance and length of the femoral tunnel. Furthermore, the optimal length of the bone block was calculated as (the total length of tunnels - the length of the patellar tendon) / 2. We analyzed correlations of outcome measures with the height and body mass index of the patients. Results: There were 44 males (68.7%) and 20 females (31.3%) with a mean age of 31.8 years (range, 17 to 65 years). ACL reconstruction was performed on the left knee in 34 patients (53%) and on the right knee in 30 patients (47%). The optimal length of bone block was 21.7 mm (range, 19.5 to 23.5 mm). When the length of femoral tunnel was assumed as 25 mm and 30 mm, the optimal length of bone block was calculated as 19.6 mm (range, 17 to 21.5 mm) and 22.1 mm (range, 19.5 to 24 mm), respectively. On linear regression analysis, patients' height had a significant correlation with the length of tibial tunnel (p = 0.003), inter-tunnel distance (p = 0.014), and length of patellar tendon (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that it would be mandatory to determine the optimal length of tibial tunnel in the modified TT technique for ACL reconstruction using the BPTB graft. Further large-scale, multi-center studies are warranted to establish our results.

터널 화재시 정체차량에 의한 정체길이가 터널연장을 초과할 경우, 환기저항의 증가에 따른 제연설비 용량의 증가가 발생하게 된다. 그러나 현행 방재지침에는 정체길이에 대한 정의가 없기 때문에 합리적 산출식의 제시가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 터널 화재시 정체차량 대수에 의한 정체길이의 산정식을 제시하고, 터널연장별 적용성 분석을 수행하였다. 일반적인 터널의 경우, 화재시 정체길이의 과도한 적용을 방지하기 위해서는 터널연장 1,200 m 까지는 정체길이와 터널연장과의 상호비교가 필요한 것으로 분석되었고, 모델터널에 대한 적용성 평가결과 제연용 제트팬의 절감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 더불어 정체길이의 판별여부를 대형차혼입률과 터널연장의 관계로 설명할 수 있는 정량화 선도를 제시하였다. 결과적으로 제연설비 용량결정시, 정체차량에 의한 정체길이가 터널연장을 초과하는 경우에는 터널연장을 초과하는 차량대수는 차량에 의한 환기저항 산정에서 제외하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석된다.

Three wind-tunnel simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow in suburban country exposure were generated for length scale factors 1:400, 1:250 and 1:220 to investigate scale effects in wind-tunnel simulations of the suburban ABL, to address recommended wind characteristics for suburban exposures reported in international standards, and to test redesigned experimental hardware. Investigated parameters are mean velocity, turbulence intensity, turbulent Reynolds shear stress, integral length scale of turbulence and power spectral density of velocity fluctuations. Experimental results indicate it is possible to reproduce suburban natural winds in the wind tunnel at different length scales without significant influence of the simulation length scale on airflow characteristics. However, in the wind tunnel it was not possible to reproduce two characteristic phenomena observed in full-scale: dependence of integral length scales on reference wind velocity and a linear increase in integral length scales with height. Furthermore, in international standards there is a considerable scatter of recommended values for suburban wind characteristics. In particular, recommended integral length scales in ESDU 85020 (1985) are significantly larger than in other international standards. Truncated vortex generators applied in this study proved to be successful in part-depth suburban ABL wind-tunnel simulation that yield a novel methodology in studies on wind effects on structures and air pollution dispersion.

본 논문에서는 터널별로 매설된 온도계의 연중계측을 통하여 년 중 온도변화특성과 갱구부로부터의 길이별 온도변화특성, 터널연장별 대기 온도변화특성, 지표부 온도 변화특성을 분석하였다. 터널의 연장별 터널내 바닥부 온도 분포에 대한 분석 결과 입구부와 출구부가 다른 온도분포를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 출구부에서의 터널내 바닥부 표면온도 분포는 출구부에서 50m 지점까지는 온도가 변하다가 50m 이후 깊이에서는 터널연장에 상관없이 거의 일정한 온도분포를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 입구부에서의 터널내 바닥부 표면온도 분포는 출구부와 달리 터널내 길이 약 125~150m 지점에서 본도분포가 변하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 입구부로 유입되는 찬공기가 풍향 및 풍속의 영향을 받아 터널깊이 약 125~150m 지점까지 영형을 끼치는 것으로 보인다.
