The effect of segmental joints is one of main importance for the segmental lining design when tunnels are excavated by a mechanized process. In this paper, segmental tunnel linings are analyzed by two numerical methods, namely the Beam-Spring Method (BSM) and the Solid-Interface Method (SIM). For this purpose, the Tehran Subway Line 6 Tunnel is considered to be the reference case. Comprehensive 2D numerical simulations are performed considering the soil's calibrated plastic hardening model (PH). Also, an advanced 3D numerical model was used to obtain the stress relaxation value. The SIM numerical model is conducted to calculate the average rotational stiffness of the longitudinal joints considering the joints bending moment distribution and joints openings. Then, based on the BSM, a sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the influence of the ground rigidity, depth to diameter ratios, slippage between the segment and ground, segment thickness, number of segments and pattern of joints. The findings indicate that when the longitudinal joints are flexible, the soil-segment interaction effect is significant. The joint rotational stiffness effect becomes remarkable with increasing the segment thickness, segment number, and tunnel depth. The pattern of longitudinal joints, in addition to the joint stiffness ratio and number of segments, also depends on the placement of longitudinal joints of the key segment in the tunnel crown (similar to patterns B and B').

3-Arch터널 시공초기인 1990년대 중반에 시공된 4개소의 3-Arch터널을 대상으로 열화발생여부를 조사하였으며, 그 결과 4개 터널 모두 중앙기둥측 상, 하선 아치부에서 발생형태가 유사한 종방향 균열이 조사되었다. 4개 터널 줄 3개소의 터널에서는 종방향 균열의 발생빈도가 높고 1개의 터널에서는 종방향 균열의 발생빈도가 낮아 이 2개군의 시공과정상 차이점을 분석하였으며 비파괴시험 및 정밀육안조사, 지반조건이 취약한 1개의 터널을 대상으로 안전성평가를 실시하여 이러한 열화들의 원인과 이에 따른 안전성여부를 판단하였다. 그 결과 안전성은 확보되었으며 중앙터널 기둥측 상, 하선아치부에 발생한 열화는 중앙터널굴착에 앞서 선시공되는 상, 하선 콘크리트라이닝의 철근배근불량과 이후의 시공단계인 중앙터널 굴착시의 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

The flow field in road tunnel is influenced by some facts such as piston effect of vehicle's move, operation of ventilation facilities, natural wind and buoyancy effect of fire plume. Among those, jet fan is one of main ventilation facilities especially in longitudinal ventilation system of tunnel. In this study to analyze tunnel flow induced by operation of jet fan, numerical simulation has been carried out. The velocity distributions and streamlines in tunnel are examined to consider the three-dimensional characteristics of tunnel flow caused by jet fan.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to investigate the stresses of the middle slab in a double-deck tunnel owing to the slab lift to replace the underlying elastic pads during maintenance work. METHODS : The middle slab was divided into three different sections: typical section, expansion joint section, and emergency passageway section. Finite element analysis models of these three sections of middle slab were developed, and the stress distribution and maximum stresses were obtained using the models when the middle slab was lifted to replace the underlying elastic pads. Various slab lifting methods were examined in this study such as one-, two-, and multiple-point lifts, distributed lifts, and one or both slab side edge lifts. RESULTS : When the slab side edge is lifted, the longitudinal stresses of the slab are almost the same as the principal stresses. This implies that the governing stresses are the longitudinal stresses. The maximum stresses with both-edge lifts are generally smaller than those with one-edge lifts at all three sections of middle slab. CONCLUSIONS : If the middle slab in a double-deck tunnel is lifted for maintenance, the slab should be lifted at multiple points along the longitudinal direction to reduce the tensile stresses.

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.

Many researches have been performed to analyze the smoke movement in tunnel fires by using field model. Recently, FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) v.4, which is one of the field model and developed from NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology), is widely used. In tunnel fires, FDS can show detail results in local point, but it has difficulties in boundary condition and taking long computing time as the number of grid increases. So, there is a need to use alternative method for tunnel fire simulation. A zone model is different kind of CFD method and solves ordinary differential equation based on conservation and auxiliary equations. It shows good macroscopic view in less computing time compared to field model. In this study, therefore, to confirm the applicability of CFAST in tunnel fire analysis, numerical simulations using CFAST are conducted to analyze smoke movement in longitudinal ventilation reduced-scale tunnel fires. Then the results are compared with experimental results. The differences of temperature and critical velocity between numerical results and experimental data are over $30^{\circ}C$ and 0.9m/s, respectively. These values are out of error range. It shows that CFAST 6.0 is hard to be used for tunnel fire simulation.

본 논문에서는 수평보강재로 보강된 터널 막장의 거동에 대한 매개변수 연구를 다루었다. 매개변수 연구에서는 축소모형실험을 수행하였으며 실험 결과를 이용하여 보강막장의 거동을 고찰하였다. 실험결과 터널 막장은 수평보강재로 보강함에 따라 변형이 억제되어 안정성이 증대되는 경향을 보였으며, 이러한 결과는 3차원 유한요소해석 결과와 정성적인 면에서 좋은 일치를 보였다. 따라서 막장 수평보강 공법은 막장의 안정성을 향상시키는 매우 유용한 공법으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 일반적인 설계법을 개발하기 위해서 3차원 유한요소해석 모델링이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

막장 전방에 파쇄대 등의 불연속면이 존재할 경우, 이를 미리 예측하지 못한채로 굴진을 하게 되면 파쇄대로 인해 터널 굴진에 따라 발생된 종방향 아칭에 영향을 주어 막장면 전방에 응력이 집중하게 된다. 터널 및 지하공간의 설계시에는 불확실한 설계요소를 과다하게 내포하고 있으므로 경제적이고 안정성이 확보된 터널 시공을 위해서는 터널 막장면에서의 정확한 계측으로 막장 전방의 파쇄대를 예측하여 터널 지보체계에 신속히 대비함이 필요하다. 최근의 연구결과에 의하면 3차원 절대변위계측에 의해 터널의 시공 시 굴진에 따라 지반의 강도차이로 인해 발생된 종방향 변위의 변화를 측정하여 막장 전방의 불연속면을 미리 예측할 수 있다고 하였다. 본 연구는 혼합법을 사용한 3차원 수치해석으로부터 얻어지는 변위로부터 L/C (천단부의 종방향 변위[L]와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비 )와 S/C (측벽의 수평방향 변위[S]와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비), (Ll-Lr)/C (좌측벽의 종방향변위[Ll]와 우측벽의 종방향변위[Lr]의 차와 천단부의 침하량[C]의 비), 평사투영법을 중심으로 지반에 파쇄대가 존재할 경우에 대해 여러 가지 초기 지중응력조건에서 터널 굴착에 따른 3차원 절대 변위를 분석하여 그 존재를 예측할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다.

In this paper, experimental investigations on the inelastic seismic behavior of tunnel form buildings (i.e., box-type or panel systems) are presented. Two four-story scaled building specimens were tested under quasi-static cyclic lateral loading in longitudinal and transverse directions. The experimental results and supplemental finite element simulations collectively indicate that lightly reinforced structural walls of tunnel form buildings may exhibit brittle flexural failure under seismic action. The global tension/compression couple triggers this failure mechanism by creating pure axial tension in outermost shear-walls. This type of failure takes place due to rupturing of longitudinal reinforcement without crushing of concrete, therefore is of particular interest in emphasizing the mode of failure that is not routinely considered during seismic design of shear-wall dominant structural systems.

운영 중 해저 터널의 안정성 평가에 다양한 계측 정보를 사용해서 역해석하면, 효율적인 오차율 이내의 결과를 획득할 수 있다. 선행 연구에서 검증된 차분진화 알고리즘 기반의 역해석 수행 시 FLAC3D 등 범용 지반해석 프로그램을 사용했지만, 상대적으로 해석시간이 오래 걸리고, 제어가 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 이유로, 상대적으로 해석시간이 짧게 소요되는 beam-spring 모델기반의 FEM solver를 Python 언어로 개발하여, 기구축된 차분진화 알고리즘과 결합하였다. 계측 데이터로부터 실시간에 가깝게 운영 중 터널의 안정성 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 우선 솔버 개발에 용이한 종단방향 터널에 대해서 프로그램을 개발하였다.
