A comprehensive, nonsteady state, computer simulation program for the environmental conditions in advancing tunnels (the HEADSIM simulation program) is constructed and successfully validated with heat balance amongst all heat sources, and with mass conservation amongst various airflows including the leakage air from ducts, under timedependent variations of inlet air conditions. which include sudden, diurnal and seasonal changes. Heat conduction in the wall strata and face strata is simulated with most complicated boundary conditions using the finite difference method, and the climatic conditions in roadway sections which contain air ducts, booster fan, spray cooler, compressed air pipes, cold water pipes, return water pipes, machinery and broken rock are simulated taking into account the variations of face operation and the heat storage mechanism in the strata. The limitations of simulation time steps and roadway section lengths are defined according to the stability criteria satisfying the principles of thermodynamics. Variations of heat transfer coefficients, which are newly set, and those of wetness factors are taken into account according to the variations of other parameters and the stepwise advance of the face. Newly-derived formulae are used for computing the air duct leakage and the pressure inside of the duct. A new concept of an 'imaginary duct' is introduced to simulate the climatic conditions in tunnels during holiday periods, which directly affect conditions on subsequent working days under the consideration of natural convection. A subsidiary program (the WALLSIM simulation program) is made to compute the dimensionless tunnel surface temperatures and to compare the results with those from analytical approaches, and to demonstrate the stability, convergence and accuracy of the strata heat conduction simulation, adopting the finite difference method. The WALLSIM also has wide applications, including those for the computation of age coefficients.

A case study of monitoring and analysis of surface settlement induced by tunneling of Tabriz metro line 2 (TML2) is presented in this paper. The TML2 single tunnel has been excavated using earth pressure balanced TBM with a cutting-wheel diameter of 9.49 m since 2015. Presented measurements of surface settlements, were collected during the construction of western part of the project (between west depot and S02 station) where the tunnel was being excavated in sand and silt, below the water table and at an average axis depth of about 16 m. Settlement readings were back-analyzed using Gaussian formula, both in longitudinal and transversal directions, in order to estimate volume loss and settlement trough width factor. In addition to settlements, face support and tail grouting pressures were monitored, providing a comprehensive description of the EPB performance. Using the gap model, volume loss prediction was carried out. Also, COB empirical method for determination of the face pressure was employed in order to compare with field monitored data. Likewise, FE simulation was used in various sections employing the code Simulia ABAQUS, to investigate the efficiency of numerical modelling for the estimating of the tunneling induced-surface settlements under such a geotechnical condition. In this regard, the main aspects of a mechanized excavation were simulated. For the studied sections, numerical simulation is not capable of reproducing the high values of in-situ-measured surface settlements, applying Mohr-Coulomb constitutive law for soil. Based on results, for the mentioned case study, the range of estimated volume loss mostly varies from 0.2% to 0.7%, having an average value of 0.45%.

Tunnelling in water bearing soils influences the ground water regime. It has been indicated in the literature that the existence of ground water above a tunnel influences tunnel stability and the settlement profile. Only limited research, however, has been done on ground water movements around tunnels and their influence on tunnel performance. Time dependent soil behaviour can be caused by the changes of pore water pressure and/or the viscous properties of soil(creep) under the stress change resulting from the advance of the tunnel face. De Moor(1989) demonstrated that the time dependent deformations due to tunnelling are mainly the results of pore pressure dissipation and should be interpreted in terms of effective stress changes. Drainage into tunnels is governed by the permeability of the soil, the length of the drainage path and the hydraulic boundary conditions. The potential effect of lime dependent settlement in a shallow tunnel is likely to occur rapidly due to the short drainage path and possibly high coefficient of consolidation. Existing 2D modelling methods are not applicable to these tunnelling problems, as it is difficult to define empirical parameters. In this paper the time-based 2D modelling method is adopted to account for the three dimensional effect and time dependent behaviour during tunnel construction. The effect of coupling between the unloading procedure and consolidation during excavation is profoundly investigated with the method. It is pointed out that realistic modelling can be achieved by defining a proper permeability at the excavation boundary and prescribing appropriate time for excavation Some guidelines for the numerical modelling of drained and undrained excavation has been suggested using characteristic time factor. It is highlighted that certain range of the factor shows combined effect between the unloading procedure due to excavation and consolidation during construction.

본 논문에서는 굴착공법이 터널변위 거동에 미치는 영향에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 먼저 비교적 동일한 시공조건을 대상으로 중벽분할 굴착공법과 링컷공법을 비교하여 각 굴착공법에 따른 터널거동 메카니즘을 고찰하는데 초점을 두었다. 이를 위해3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였으며, 각 공법별 해석결과로부터 막장 안정, 천단침하, 지표침하, 숏크리트 라이닝의 응력을 비교하였다. 전반적으로 중벽분할 공법을 적용할 경우 굴진과정에서 터널변위 제어에 탁월한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 링컷공법 적용 시 지표침하 억제 효과에 보다 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합하여 설계 시 고려하여야 할 주안점을 제시하였다.

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.

본 연구에서는 굴착이 진행 중인 터널 시공현장에서 계측변위를 활용하여 신속하게 터널의 안정성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 기술을 새롭게 제안하였다. 이를 위해 먼저, 현재 국내외적으로 터널 시공현장에서 활용하고 있는 계측관리지침 사례를 조사하였다. 그러나 이들 지침은 그 근거가 뚜렷하지 못하고, 터널시공현장마다 서로 달라 통일적인 관리가 이루어지지 못할 뿐만 아니라 터널 계측과 관련된 다양한 제약으로 인해 현장 실무에서 활용도와 그 중요성이 높지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다. 터널굴착에 의해 발생하는 변위에 대한 기준 설정을 위해서 본 연구에서는 한계변형률 개념을 새롭게 도입하였으며 이를 활용하여 시공 중인 터널의 안정성 평가 기법을 새롭게 제안하였다. 또한 한계변형률 개념을 터널 실무에 활용하기 위해서, 지반굴착에 의해 발생하는 변위발생 특징을 종합적으로 검토하였으며, 터널굴착에 의해 발생하는 총변위를[굴착전 변위], [계측전 변위], [계측변위]로 구분하여 이들 각각에 대한 특성을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 시공중인 터널에 대하여 한계변형률 개념을 도입하여 현장 계측결과를 활용하는 방안에 대하여 구체적으로 언급하였으며 이를 현재 국내의 계측현황 조사를 토대로 그 활용방안에 대해 기술하였다.

터널 시공이 급격하게 증가되면서 터널 시공 중 발생하는 지반의 수렴하지 않는 거동과 숏크리트의 균열전파 및 록볼트의 항복과 같은 이상현상에 대해 특별한 기준 없이 대책을 마련해야 하는 경우를 종종 직면하게 된다. 이러한 경우, 여러 시공현장에서 문제들을 극복하는데, 숙련된 전문가의 판단이 중요하게 여겨졌으나, 전문가 확보와 경제적인 문제로 인해서 비슷한 시공현장의 경험 없이도 이상현상에 대한 대책을 선정하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 새로운 시스템의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 터널 시공 중 적용된 보강공법의 현황을 파악하고, 국내외의 구체적인 사례를 분석하였다. 또한, 터널 막장의 안전성 등급을 결정하고, 적절한 보강공법의 선정을 위해 퍼지 수량화 이론과 퍼지추론 시스템을 기반으로 터널정보 데이터베이스를 구축하여 전문가시스템의 모형을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 전문가 시스템은 크게 두 가지 기능을 가진다. 전반부 모듈은 현장에서 조사하기 쉬운 막장 기록항목을 중심으로 터널 정보 입력항목을 선정하고 퍼지 수량화이론 II을 이용하여 구성한 퍼지 소속도 함수(membership function)를 통해 터널 안정성 등급을 결정한다. 후반부 모듈은 전반부 함수와 터널 안정성 등급에 따라 적절한 보강공업의 적용성을 추론한다. 개발한 시스템의 검증을 위하여 다양한 보강공업을 시공하였던 한강하저터널을 비롯한 국내 외 3곳의 터널 현장 자료를 이용하여 적용한 결과 실제 시행한 보강공법과 근접한 추론결과를 보였다. 정보화시공을 통해 터널 막장기록과 계측자료의 이용을 극대화하고 객관적인 기준의 부재로 인해 일부 전문가의 경험에만 의존하고 있는 국내 보강공법 시공기술을 보다 발전시켜 합리적인 세부적인 보강공업을 제시하는데 도움이 되고자 하였다.

A set of slurry shield test system capable of cutter cutting and slurry automatic circulation is used to investigate the deformation characteristics, the evolution characteristics of support resistance and the distribution and evolution process of earth pressure during excavating and collapsing of slurry shield tunneling in circular-gravel layer. The influence of cover-span ratio on surface subsidence, support resistance and failure mode of excavation face is also discussed. Three-dimensional numerical calculations are performed to verify the reliability of the test results. The results show that, with the decrease of the supporting force of the excavation face, the surface subsidence goes through four stages: insensitivity, slow growth, rapid growth and stability. The influence of shield excavation on the axial earth pressure of the front soil is greater than that of the vertical earth pressure. When the support resistance of the excavation face decreases to the critical value, the soil in front of the excavation face collapses. The shape of the collapse is similar to that of a bucket. The ultimate support resistance increase with the increase of the cover-span ratio, however, the angle between the bottom of the collapsed body and the direction of the tunnel excavation axis when the excavation face is damaged increase first and then becomes stable. The surface settlement value and the range of settlement trough decrease with the increase of cover-span ratio. The numerical results are basically consistent with the model test results.
