Scientific forensic techniques are used to verify environmental impact of groundwater pollution, surface water pollution, air pollution, noise, and vibration according to residents' complaints in connection with construction and civil engineering works. In this study, we investigated the contamination of groundwater and the lowering of the groundwater level in an area surrounding a tunnel excavation site for the Andong-Yeongdeok national road, using a forensic hydrogeological technique. We reviewed the groundwater level and water quality of well GW1 in the area surrounding the tunnel excavation site as well as tunnel construction information and then we analyzed the correlations among the obtained data. Before tunnel excavation, the water level of well GW1 was lower than the tunnel elevation. Considering the relationship between the precipitation, tunnel discharge, tunnel depth, and groundwater level of well GW1, the groundwater flowed from the tunnel to well GW1. Moreover, the tunnel discharge and groundwater levels were not related to each other. The pH of well GW1 was 8.4 before tunnel excavation. During excavation, the pH declined to 8.1-8.2 at the beginning, and increased to 8.8 at the end of the excavation. The fluorine concentration in well GW1 was 2.49 mg/L, 1.91-3.22 mg/L, and 1.7-2.67 mg/L, respectively, before, during, and after the excavation. The sulfate ion concentration was very high, over 2,000 mg/L, before and during the excavation; after the excavation, it was between 200 and 323 mg/L. Turbidity was 1.47, 10.5, and 4.51 NTU before, during, and after tunnel excavation, respectively. Therefore, the excavation of this tunnel is not related to the groundwater quality of well GW1.

This paper aims to estimate the range of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) formation caused by the tunnel boring machine (TBM) advancement through dynamic three-dimensional large deformation finite element analysis. Large deformation analysis based on Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) analysis is used to accurately simulate the behavior during TBM excavation. The analysis model is verified based on numerous test results reported in the literature. The range of the formed EDZ will be suggested as a boundary under various conditions - different tunnel diameter, tunnel depth, and rock type. Moreover, evaluation of the integrity of the tunnel structure during excavation has been carried out. Based on the numerical results, the apparent boundary of the EDZ is shown to within the range of 0.7D (D: tunnel diameter) around the excavation surface. Through series of numerical computation, it is clear that for the rock of with higher rock mass rating (RMR) grade (close to 1st grade), the EDZ around the tunnel tends to increase. The size of the EDZ is found to be direct proportional to the tunnel diameter, whereas the depth of the tunnel is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the EDZ. However, the relationship between the formation of the EDZ and the stability of the tunnel was not found to be consistent. In case where the TBM excavation is carried out in hard rock or rock under high confinement (excavation under greater depth), large range of the EDZ may be formed, but less strain occurs along the excavation surface during excavation and is found to be more stable.

최근 도심지 공사가 급증하여 기존 지하구조물의 상부에서 지반굴착 공사가 빈번하게 이루어지고 있다. 특히 지반굴착 후 구조물이 시공되는 경우 굴착 저면 하부 지반 내에서 하중 제하, 재하 과정이 반복되므로 기존 지하구조물에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 지반굴착으로 인한 기존 지하구조물의 안정을 유지하기 위해서는 인접부에서의 굴착 및 구조물 하중에 의한 영향을 정확히 파악해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존터널 상부에 지반 굴착 및 신규 구조물 하중이 가해지는 경우를 실험적으로 구현하여 인접시공이 기존 터널에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이를 위해 실제 크기의 1/5로 축소한 대형모형시험기를 제작하여 굴착저면과 터널 천단 간의 거리를 일정하게 유지한 체 지반굴착, 구조물 하중의 폭, 기존 터널 중심과 지반 굴착 저면 중심과의 이격거리에 따른 영향을 파악하였다. 연구 결과, 동일 하중 크기에 대하여 굴착 깊이가 깊어질수록 기존 터널에 더 큰 영향을 작용하는 것을 확인하였다. 동일 이격거리에서 기존 터널에 영향은 건물하중 폭 증가에 따라 터널 내공변위가 최대 3배까지 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 건물하중 폭의 영향이 굴착 깊이보다 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 수평으로 이격하는 경우는 터널 중심에서 1.0D 이격되면 터널 천단변위가 48% 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이로부터 기존 터널 상부에 터파기 시공 위치에 따른 영향이 가장 크게 발생하는 위치는 1.0D (D: 터널직경)인 것으로 확인하였다.

Excavation of underground openings changes stress distribution around the opening. The survey of this disturbed zone in excavation is very important to design and construct underground facilities, such as tunnel, gas and oil storage, power plant and disposal site of high- and low-level radioactive wastes. This paper presents a zoning of rock masses with tunnel excavation using PS logging. Compressional and shear wave velocities are measured in boreholes drilled in the tunnel wall, which was constructed with blasting and/or machine excavation. The disturbed zone in excavation can be estimated by comparing PS logging data with a tomographic image of compressional wave velocity and compressional and shear wave velocities of core samples. In the side wall of tunnel, the disturbed zone reaches 1.5 m and 1.0 m in thickness for blocks of blasting and machine excavations, respectively. In the roof of tunnel, however, the disturbed zone is 1.0 m and 0.75 m thick for the two blocks. These results show that the width of the disturbed zone is larger in the side wall of tunnel than in the roof, and 1.3 to 1.5 times larger for the blasting excavation than for the machine excavation.

본 연구에서는 시공순서를 고려한 대단면 터널의 안정성 평가를 수치해석에 의해 수행하였다. 일반적으로 터널의 안정성은 최종 굴착 후의 안정성에 의해 판단하는 것이 보통이나, 본 연구에서는 굴착단계별 안정성을 비교·검토하였다. 해석결과를 종합하면, 터널의 안정성에는 별 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되며, 이곳을 시공할 때 계측을 철저히 하는 등의 각별한 주의가 요구된다. 또한, 굴착단계별 안정성을 비교한 결과, 우측 본선터널 상부 반단면 굴착시 (5 단계)의 안정성이 오히려 최종굴착 후의 안정성보다 취약한 것으로 나타났다.

It is recently reported that the importance of environmental impact assessment(EIA) about groundwater outflow problems is beingy raised in the case of tunnel excavation during railroad construction. The EIA about groundwater outflow into railroad tunnel is generally performed using the results of numerical analysis embodied through groundwater flow modeling program like MODFLOW. The basic data for this modeling include (1) the geological and hydrogeological investigation data along the planned block of tunnel excavation, (2) total amount of outflowed groundwater during tunnel excavation, and (3) the status of groundwater level fluctuation in the water-supply wells distributed in the planned block of tunnel excavation. In this study, the authors analyzed the cases of the computational modeling about groundwater outflow in three planned blocks of railroad tunnel, and suggest the environmental impact factors and mitigation plan during EIA of tunnel excavation in railroad construction.

To properly simulate the excavation process and evaluate the structural stability of the tunnel, rigorous large deformation analysis method is necessary. This study applies two most widely used numerical approaches capable of modelling and considering the large deformations behavior during excavation process to analyze and evaluate the structural stability of circular tunnel based on tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavation. By comparing and combining the results from two numerical approaches, the deformation of the excavated ground will be analyzed. The stability of the circular tunnel from TBM tunneling was assessed based on the maximum deformation occurred during the excavation process. From the numerical computation it was concluded that although the range of the damage on the ground done during excavation was found to be larger under hard rock condition, maximum deformation within the circular tunnel structure was larger under weak ground conditions and deeper tunnel depths.

본 논문에서는 사례분석과 수치해석 등을 통하여 지하수가 터널굴착에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 사례분석을 통하여 터널굴착으로 인하여 발생되는 여러 가지 환경적 요인중 하나인 지하수를 도출하였고, 이에 대하여 터널굴착단계에 따른 지하수위의 변화를 수치해석을 통하여 예측하였다. 해석결과, 터널주위의 지하수가 터널로 유입됨에 따라 터널 굴착이 지하수거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 파쇄대와 같은 지하수의 이동경로가 터널굴착구간을 지나간다면 많은 양의 지하수가 터널내부로 유입될 가능성이 있으므로 터널굴착시 이에 대한 세심한 예측기법이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzed ground settlement and ground stress depending on tunnel excavation and the ground reinforcing grouting methods for double line road tunnel through deep weathered zone. Diameter of double line road tunnel was approximately 12m and umbrella arch method and side wall reinforcing grouting were applied. The ring-cut split excavation method and CD-cut excavation method for excavation method were applied. Analysis of failure rate and vertical stress ratio show that the tunnel for which the height of the cover(H) was higher than four times the diameter, it can be considered a deep tunnel. Comparisons of various excavation and ground reinforcement methods were showed that CD-cut method results in lower surface and crown settlement, and lower failure rate than where using Ring-cut split method. In addition the side wall reinforcing grouting resulted in reduction of tunnel displacement and settlement.
