As a material for preventing spalling of concrete, the effectiveness of PP fiber has already been confirmed. However, it is necessary to consider the maximum temperature that occurs during a fire, and to solve the mixing problem and the strength reduction problem that occur depending on the mixing amount. In this study, the fire resistance performance of tunnel segment linings according to the PP fiber content and air volume under the RABT fire scenario was investigated. As a result, no spalling or cross-sectional loss occurred in all test specimens, and when the PP fiber content was small, the maximum temperature was relatively high and the maximum temperature arrival time was also fast. On the other hand, no trend was found for the maximum temperature and arrival time according to the difference in air volume. In the internal temperature distribution results for the PP fiber mixing amount of 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 kg/m³, the results of 0.75 and 1.0 kg/m³ showed similar temperature distribution, and the results of 1.5 and 2.0 kg/m³ were similar. It was confirmed that the internal temperature distribution tends to decrease at the same depth when the amount of PP fiber mixed is large, and it was confirmed that a remarkable difference occurred from the results of 1.0 kg/m³ and 1.5 kg/m³ of PP fiber mixed amounts.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to improve the tunnel maintenance and monitoring technology by establishing the maintenance, management, and monitoring standards for shield and TBM tunnels, which had been applied more in recent years. Method: This study comprehensively analyzed and compared the data and model simulations of Seoul Subway Lines 7 and 9 and Bundang Line, shield and TBM tunnels in South Korea, tunnels in France and Japan, and Channel Tunnel in the UK. Result: This study set maintenance and monitoring standards when there was no design estimate based on numerical analyses such as section design and section analysis regarding the maintenance and monitoring section of shield and TBM tunnels. Conclusion: It is necessary to determine safety by comprehensively considering not only each monitoring item but also the changing trend and correlation of all items and compensation of the tunnel.
