The work presented in this paper concerns the aerodynamic characteristics and compression wave generated in a tunnel when a high speed train enters it. A large number of solutions have been proposed to reduce the amplitude of the pressure gradient in tunnels and some of the most efficient solutions consist of (a) addition ofa blind hood, (b) addition of inclined part at the entrance, and (c) holes in the ceiling of the tunnel. These are numerically studied by using the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Euler equation solver with ALE, CFD code, based on FEM method. Computational results showed that the smaller inclined angle leads to the lower pressure gradient of compression wave front. This study indicated that the most efficient slant angle is in the range from $30^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$. The maximum pressure gradient is reduced by $26.81\%$ for the inclined angle of $30^{\circ}$ as compared to vertical entry. Results also showed that maximum pressure gradient can be reduced by $15.94\%$ in blind hood entry as compared to $30^{\circ}$ inclined tunnel entry. Furthermore, the present analysis showed that inclined slant angle has little effect on aerodynamic drag. Comparison of the pressure gradient between the inclined tunnel hood and the vertical entry with air vent holes indicated that the optimum inclined tunnel hood is much more effective way in reducing pressure gradient and increasing the pressure rise time.

In this paper, a new novel technique of seismic survey is introduced to estimate the continuity of inclined pits filled with water, It was assumed that the pits would be connected to an abandoned railway tunnel that might be constructed in the past. Thus, detection of pit end was needed for the design of a new highway tunnel(Yukshimreong tunnel) that was likely to be met with a pit. In the beginning of exploration, no reliable, cost effective method was available. Hence, focus of interest moved toward the high impedance contrast(reflection coefficient k∼0.8) between water and rock. In this special model of sequence rock-water-rock, total reflection occurs and the seismic energy, when it is generated in the pit water, is nearly confined to the pit so that seismic waves can propagate much further within the pit. As a matter of convenience, this is called“tunnel channel wave”. With these considerations in mind, seismic detonator(2g) was used as a source at the entrance of pit, whereas hydrophone chain(hydrophone interval=1m) was placed on the bottom of pit. With this appropriate source-receiver arrangement, desirable down-going and up-going waves could be observed that will help conform the continuity of pits. After about one year, it was ascertained that the inclined pit of interest was just nearby crossed with the newly excavated tunnel, as it was predicted.

In August 2002, side wall of OO tunnel, at the Bonghwa, Kungbuk province, Korea, was collapsed by abruptly applied heavy soil and water pressure to side wall from a inclined shaft when there was a heavy rain. These days, Inclined shaft is used for the purpose of reducing construction time, using ventilation system, using the out of carrying equipment and mucking when we construct tunnel in the world. Recently constructed tunnel has the source of inclined shafts, but the more time elapse, we lose the source of the inclined shaft such as exact position, condition, and the fact that whether inclined shaft is exist or not. Therefore, this study inspected the interior's appearance, analyzed structure to evaluate the reason of collapsing side wall and this study also performed the repairing work. Finally, we show improving maintenance method to prevent that similar accident that might be happened.

터널 주지보재의 하나인 강지보재는 굴착 후 숏크리트 또는 록볼트의 지보기능이 발휘되기까지 터널 굴착면의 안정을 도모하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 일반적으로 수평터널의 강지보재는 중력방향으로 설치되고 있으며 시공성 및 안정성 측면에서 모두 유리한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 경사터널의 경우는 터널 벽면에 작용하는 주응력 방향과 중력방향이 서로 다르기 때문에 최적의 강지보재 설치방향은 수평터널에서의 중력방향과는 다를 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 방법을 이용하여 경사터널 벽면에 작용하는 힘의 작용방향을 규명하였으며 그 방향이 최적의 강지보재 설치방향이 될 수 있다. 즉, 강지보재의 지보효율은 터널 변위가 발생하는 방향으로 저항하도록 설치하는 경우에 최대가 될 수 있다. 국내 터널설계기준에서 제안하고 있는 경사터널에서의 세 가지 강지보재 설치방향을 모델로 설정하여 단계별 해석을 통한 비교검토를 수행하였다. 연구결과 경사터널 벽면에서의 변위 발생각은 막장경사와 관계없이 모두 터널 굴착면에 수직한 방향과 유사한 각도로 발생하므로 경사터널에서의 강지보재는 터널 굴착면에 수직인 방향으로 설치하는 경우가 지보효율 측면에서 보다 유리한 것으로 검토되었다.

In the present study, the coupled dynamic response of a Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) and mooring lines under regular waves is solved by using two independent numerical simulation methods, OrcaFlex and CHARM3D, in time domain. Variations of Buoyancy to Weight Ratio (BWR), wave steepness/period, and water/submergence depth are considered as design and environmental parameters in the study. Two different mooring-line configurations, vertical and inclined, are studied to find an optimum design in terms of limiting tunnel motions and minimizing mooring-line tension. The numerical results are successfully validated by direct comparison against published experimental data. The results show that tunnel motions and tether tensions grow with wave height and period and decrease with submergence depth. The inclined mooring system is more effective in restricting tunnel motions compared to the vertical mooring system. Overall, the present study demonstrates the feasibility of this type of structure as an alternative to traditional bridges or under-seabed tunnels.

The recent unpredictable weather condition, especially abnormal heavy precipitation which is on the verge of PMF, made implement more rigorous design standard. Following these trends, the idea of additional auxiliary spillway, most of them are tunnel around existing one, is adopted to many sites. Tunnel spillway, having free water table is generally consisted of several compartments such as inlet, transition, inclined, curved and stilling parts. It may has some technical problems to be considered. Among them, the surface deterioration due to cavitation is reported many times in the part of irregularities on lining. Including this kind of problem, several technical considerations for tunnel spillway will be handled in this paper during design procedure.

In general, the booming noise intensity at tunnel exit is strongly related to the gradient of the compression wave front created by high speed train entering the tunnel. This paper presents some results in relation with the compression wave front produced when the high speed train enters a tunnel. Four kinds of tunnel entrance shape with real dimensions were studied to investigate the formation of compression wave front inside tunnel by train entering tunnel. Computations were carried out using three-dimensional compressible Euler equation with vanishing viscosity and conductivity of fluid. According to the results, the flow disturbances occured at tunnel entrance were eliminated by tunnel hood with same cross sectional area. The compression wave front is formed completely at 30-40m from tunnel entrance. The maximum pressure gradient of compression wave front is reduced by 29.8% for the inclined tunnel hood and reduced by 21.5% for the tunnel hood with holes at the top face with tunnel without hood. The length of the inclined hood is 15m and the length of the hood with holes is 20m.

굴착 단면 또는 내부 단면적에 비해 연장이 긴 선형 구조물의 일종인 터널은 다양한 지반조건에서 시공된다. 본 논문은 미고결 층상 지반에서 터널 굴착에 의해 발생하는 터널 작용토압에 대하여 모형실험적 및 이론 해석적 연구를 수행한 것이다. 터널 모형실험은 층상구조를 이루고 있는 지층의 경사각도와 토피고를 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 모형실험에 사용된 지반재료는, 그 자체만으로 자립이 가능케 함으로써 모형토조 벽면과의 마찰을 제거시킬 수 있는 점착력이 배제된 알루미늄 봉과 블록을 이용한 2차원 모형 실험을 실시하였다. 아울러 터널 하중에 대한 이론적 평가식을 새롭게 유도하고, 이를 실험에 의한 터널 하중과 함께 비교하여 그 타당성을 검토하였다.

The Cutting slope is to be minimized when a tunnel meets the contour of slope terrain at a right angle around its portal. However, a tunnel portal has been generally installed at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of a tunnel with no consideration of the intersection angle with the slope terrain. This sometimes tended to cause huge cutting slope that resulted in many disadvantage in terms of safty, economy and environment. Therefore, the minimization of cutting slope is studied by taking the intersection angle into account, and the result is compared with that by the conventional method. In addition a design method for the inclined portal to the tunnel axis is proposed through 3D-FEM analysis, also the applicable ground condition is suggested.
