Longitudinal Displacement Profile (LDP) is an appropriate tool for determination of the displacement magnitude of the tunnel walls as a function of the distance to the tunnel face. Some useful formulations for calculation of LDP have been developed based on the monitoring data on site or by 3D numerical simulations. However, the presented equations are only based on the tunnel dimensions and for different quality of rock masses proposed a unique LDP. In the present study, it is tried to present a new formulation, for calculation of LDP, on the basis of Rock mass quality. For this purpose, a comprehensive numerical simulation program was developed to investigate the effect of rock mass quality on the LDP. Results of the numerical modelling were analyzed and the least square technique was used for fitting an appropriate curve on the derived data from the numerical simulations. The proposed formulation in the present study, is a logistic function and the constants of the logistic function were predicted by rock mass quality index (GSI). Results of this study revealed that, the LDP curves of the tunnel surrounded by rock masses with high quality (GSI>60) match together; because the rock mass deformation varies over an elastic range.

기존의 연구에서 터널 종단변형도는 대부분 수치해석적 방법으로 구해졌으나, 본 논문에서는 실제 계측치를 이용하여 종단변형도를 구성하고 굴착에 따른 터널의 종단변위 발생 경향을 검토하였다. 막장전방의 변위는 수평경사계 계측치의 최대변위에 대한 지점 변위를 비교 분석하여 가장 적합한 결과를 나타내는 지점의 변위를 채택하였고, 막장 후방은 천단변위계에 의한 계측치를 회귀분석하여 구하였다. 연구 대상 터널의 계측치로 천단변위를 분석한 결과, 막장 3D 이전부터 변위가 발생하였고, 막장에서는 수치해석적으로 구한 내공 변위에 비해 10%, 정도 높은 약 40%의 변위가 발생하였으며, 막장 후방 4D 이후 최종변위에 수렴하는 것으로 나타났다.

The magnitude and distribution of tunnel deformation were widely discussed topics in tunnel engineering. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element program was used for the analysis of various horseshoe-shaped opening expressway tunnels under different geologies. Two rock material models - Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown were executed in the process of analyses; and the results show that the magnitude and distribution of tunnel deformation were close by these two models. The tunnel deformation behaviors were relevant to many factors such as cross-sections and geological conditions; but the geology was the major factor to the normalized longitudinal deformation profile (LDP). If the time-dependent factors were neglected, the maximum displacements were located at the distance of 3 to 4 tunnel diameters behind the excavation face. The ratios of displacement at the excavation face to the maximum displacement were around 1/3 to 1/2. In general, the weaker the rock mass, the larger the ratio. The displacements in front of the excavation face were decreased with the increasement of distance. At the distance of 1.0 to 1.5 tunnel diameter, the displacements were reduced to one-tenth of the maximum displacement.
