The water supply tunnel has different characteristics which play a important role in stable water supply to the public from mechanical behavior and maintenance in comparison with road md railway tunnel. In this study, the present state and characteristics of water supply tunnels controlled by K-water have been investigated. The distribution of effective stresses that takes into account the effect of seepage forces induced by internal water pressure are estimated from closed-form and numerical method. The analysis of stress-strain behavior, seepage problem and hydrojacking for ensuring safety of existing water supply tunnel against neighboring new construction has been conducted.
