Subsea tunnels that link land to island and among nations for transportation, efficient development of limited surface and pursuit of economic development should be designed to support pore water pressure on the lining. It is generally constructed in the bed rock of the sea bottom. When the tunnel excavation face meets fractured-zones below sea bottom, collapse may occur due to an increase of pore water pressure and large inflow. Such an example can be found in the Norwegian subsea tunnel experiences in 1980's. In this study hydraulic behavior of tunnel heading is investigated using numerical method based on the collapse of Norwegian subsea tunnel. The effect of pore water pressure and inflow rate were mainly concerned. Horse-shoe shaped model tunnel which has 50 m depth from the sea bottom is considered. To evaluate hydraulic performance, parametric study was carried out for varying relative permeability. It is revealed that pore water pressure has increased with an increase of sea depth. Especially, at the fractured-zone, pore water pressure on the lining has increased significantly. Inflow rate into tunnel has also increased correspondingly with an increase in sea depth. S-shaped characteristic relation between relative permeability and normalized pore water pressure was obtained.

본 연구에서는 배수형 쉴드터널 적용시 작용수압의 저감을 평가하기 위해 모형실험장치를 개발하여 배수 및 비배수 조건에서 작용수압 차이를 실험하였다. 모형실험 결과 배수 조건에서 간극수압 증가율이 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 비배수 조건에 비해 전응력이 더 작게 나타나 모형터널 내 지하수 유입에 의해 작용수압이 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 현장계측 결과 쉴드터널 배면 지반 내 작용수압은 지하수위로 계산되는 수압($r_w{\cdot}H$)보다 약 11~22%정도 적게 나타났다. 모형실험 및 현장계측 결과에서 배수 및 비배수 조건의 이론적인 설계수압과 작용수압의 차이가 나타났는데, 배수형 쉴드터널 적용시 기존 설계수압보다 감소된 수압을 적용하는 것이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 수압 감소를 통해 세그먼트 단면 축소도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper develops a flow control block for a hydraulic system of a tunnel boring machine. The flow control block is a necessary component to ensure stability in the operation of the hydraulic system. In order to know the pressure distribution of the flow control block, the flow analysis was performed using the ANSYS-CFX. It was confirmed that the pressure and flow rate were normally supplied to the hydraulic system even if one of the four ports of the flow control block was not operated. In order to evaluate the structural stability of the flow control block, structural analysis was performed using the ANSYS WORKBENCH. As a result, the safety factor of the flow control block is 1.54 and the structural stability is secured.

The hydraulic deterioration of the drainage system in tunnel linings is one of the main factors governing long-term lining-ground interactions during the lifetime of tunnels. Thus, in the design procedure of a tunnel below the groundwater table, the possible detrimental effects associated with the hydraulic deterioration should be addressed. Hydraulic deterioration in double-lined tunnels can occur because of reasons such as clogging of the drainage layer and drain-pipe blockings. In this study, the coupled mechanical and hydraulic interactions between linings due to drain-pipe blockings are investigated using the finite-element method. A double-lined structural model incorporating hydraulic behavior is developed to represent the coupled structural and hydraulic behavior between the linings and drainage system. It is found that hydraulic deterioration hinders flow into the tunnel, causing asymmetric development of pore-water pressure and consequent detrimental effects to the secondary lining.

Tunnels are generally constructed below the ground water table, which produces a long-term interaction between the tunnel lining and the surrounding geo-materials. Thus, in conjunction with tunnel design, the presence of water may require a number of considerations such as: leakage and water load. It has been reported that deterioration of a drainage system of tunnels is one of the main factors governing the long-term hydraulic and structural lining-ground interaction. Therefore, the design procedure of an underwater tunnel should address any detrimental effects associated with this interaction. In this paper an attempt to identify the coupled structural and hydraulic interaction between the lining and the ground was made using a numerical method. A main concern was given to local hindrance of flow into tunnels. Six cases of local deterioration of a drainage system were considered to investigate the effects of deterioration on tunnels. It is revealed that hindrance of flow increased pore-water pressure on the deteriorated areas, and caused detrimental effects on the lining structures. The analysis results were compared with those from fully permeable and impermeable linings.

The reinforced concrete lining in the hydraulic pressure tunnel tends to crack during the water-filling process. The lining will be detached from the surrounding rock due to the inner water exosmosis along concrete cracks. From the previous research achievements, the cohesive element is widely adopted to simulate the concrete crack but rarely adopted to simulate the lining-rock interface. In this study, the zero-thickness cohesive element with hydro-mechanical coupling property is not only employed to simulate the traditional concrete crack, but also innovatively introduced to simulate the lining-rock interface. Combined with the indirect-coupled method, the hydro-mechanical coupling algorithm of the reinforced concrete lining in hydraulic pressure tunnels is proposed and implemented in the finite element code ABAQUS. The calculated results reveal the cracking mechanism of the reinforced concrete lining, and match well with the observed engineering phenomenon.

The reinforced concrete lining of hydraulic pressure tunnels tends to crack under high inner water pressure (IWP), which results in the inner water exosmosis along cracks and involves typical hydro-mechanical interaction. This study aims at the development, validation and application of an indirect-coupled method to simulate the lining cracking process. Based on the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model, the utility routine GETVRM and the user subroutine USDFLD in the finite element code ABAQUS is employed to calculate and adjust the secondary hydraulic conductivity according to the material damage and the plastic volume strain. The friction-contact method (FCM) is introduced to track the lining-rock interface behavior. Compared with the traditional node-shared method (NSM) model, the FCM model is more feasible to simulate the lining cracking process. The number of cracks and the reinforcement stress can be significantly reduced, which matches well with the observed results in engineering practices. Moreover, the damage evolution of reinforced concrete lining can be effectively slowed down. This numerical method provides an insight into the cracking process of reinforced concrete lining in hydraulic pressure tunnels.

쉴드 터널의 세그먼트라이닝은 일반적으로 배수시스템을 채용한 재래식 터널과 달리, 비배수 방식을 채택하여 건설된다. 하지만 비배수 터널로 건설된 경우 시간의 경과에 따른 열화의 진행으로 누수가 증가하여, 장기적으로는 설계시 적용된 비배수 개념이 유지되지 않는다. 세그먼트 터널에서 이음부는 변위와 누수가 주로 빌생되는 부분으로, 특히 누수는 이음부를 통하여 일어나는 경우가 대부분이다 이에 본 논문에서는 전력구 터널을 모델로 선정하여 라이닝 이음부의 열화로 인한 누수가 터널의 세그만트 라이닝에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 라이닝 전반열화 조건과 이음부의 전반 열화 및 국부 열화 조건으로 설정하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 라이닝 이음부의 열화로 인한 누수가 기준량 초과 시 그라우트 주입구를 이용하여 재주입시 누수제어가 가능한지 여부를 수치해석을 통하여 조사하였다. 해석결과 세그먼트 라이닝 및 이음부의 누수로 인한 터널과 지반 간 수리 상호작용 메커니즘을 알 수 있었으며, 시공 중 라이닝 투수성 품질관리, 운영 중 누수관라의 기준을 설정하는데 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

지하수면하의 터널 굴착은 물로 인한 많은 지반공학적 문제가 나타나며, 해저터널의 경우 높은 투수성과 고수압을 나타내는 파쇄대 근처에서의 안전율 감소로 인한 침수사고를 유발될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 유한한 폭의 투수성이 높은 구간(문제구간) 에서 터널 안전성에 대한 수압의 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. advance core 개념에 따라 막장전방의 가상 실린더에 작용하는 침투력을 모사 하였으며, 3차원 정상류 침투수 해석을 통하여 막장전방 지반의 수리적 거동에 주안점을 두고 침투력과 막장면의 안정성에 대한 문제구간의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 막장면으로부터 터널의 막장면 안정성에 영향을 주는 가상 실린더의 경계면까지의 거리는 터널 반경의 약 5배 정도인 것으로 추정된다. 이 연구의 적용된 가정의 제한성에도 불구하고 문제구간의 위험성을 고려할 할 때 이 연구결과가 시사하는 바가 크다.

This study was performed to suggest to suggest suitable design conditions of water curtain system through analysis on pressure down in boreholes by hydraulic tests carried out I construction fields for underground oil storages. The influence by hydraulic conductivities of rock mass around boreholes on pressure down in boreholes was analysed. The relationship between array of boreholes and their pressure down was also analysed. Groundwater flow analysis on crude oil and LPG storages was carried out to evaluate results of field tests and to investigate distribution of hydraulic gradient in rock mass around cavern using finite difference method. As the results, hydraulic tests showed that pressure down in boreholes was inverse proportional to the hydraulic conductivity of surrounding rock mass. The rate of pressure down of boreholes was not influenced by water curtain system more than 20m over cavern and was proportional to installation interval of boreholes. The hydraulic gradient in rock mass around cavern was proportional to distance and interval of boreholes and its value was not satisfactory to oil tightness condition in case of no water curtain system.
