  • A novel hybrid extreme machine learning-multiverse optimizer (ELM-MVO) framework is proposed to predict the liquefaction phenomenon in seismically excited tunnel lining inside the sand lens. The MVO is applied to optimize the input weights and biases of the ELM algorithm to improve its efficiency. The tunnel located inside the liquefied sand lens is also evaluated under various near- and far-field earthquakes. The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method to predict the liquefaction event against the conventional extreme machine learning (ELM) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms. The outcomes also indicate that the possibility of liquefaction in sand lenses under far-field seismic excitations is much less than the near-field excitations, even with a small magnitude. Hence, tunnels designed in geographical areas where seismic excitations are more likely to be generated in the near area should be specially prepared. The sand lens around the tunnel also has larger settlements due to liquefaction.

  • 현재 이동성을 지원하는 Mobile IPv4와 Mobile IPv6 프로토콜은 서로 다른 버전의 네트워크에서는 호환이 불가능하게 설계되어있다. Mobile IPv6 프로토콜에서 확장되어 네트워크 이동성까지 지원되는 Network Mobility(NEMO) 프로토콜 역시 IPv6 네트워크 내에서만 이동성이 보장된다. 그러나 앞으로의 인터넷은 IPv4와 IPv6 네트워크가 상당기간 공존할 것으로 예상되기 때문에 두 버전의 네트워크 사이에 이동성이 자연스럽게 지원되는 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다른 버전의 네트워크 사이에 NEMO 프로토콜에 대해 이동성을 지원하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 우리는 Mobile Router(MR)가 IPv4 네트워크로 이동을 한 경우에도 Tunnel Agent(TA)를 통해 NEMO Tunnel을 유지함으로써 이동성을 관리할 수 있는 새로운 메커니즘을 제시한다.

  • Tunnel type spillway is rarely constructed in worldwide, and designed secondary in Korea. In this paper we pronounce a case study of tunnel type spillway design. We firstly considered lining concrete abrasiveness and cavitations for tunnel safety. This paper describes the design of tunnel type spillway section, excavation method, blasting, support and concrete lining.

  • This research is experimental paper to prepare the structural safety of the upper bridge for support type on tunnel and the effect of settlement. Unit weight test and uni-axial compression test have been performed to simulate the physical property of foundation on the tunnel. Tunnel model of slip form type for centrifuge model has been developed to performed the tunnel excavation while field stress is activated. And the support type of tunnel such as umbrella arch method and large diameter steel pipe reinforce method has been tested for the centrifuge model. After the analysis of experiment, results show that internal displacement of large diameter steel pipe reinforce method is smaller than that of the umbrella arch method.

  • Passengers in automobile or train are exposed to a worse noise environment when they are in the tunnel than in the open field. This is due to a relatively higher space density of sound energy by multiple reflection phenomenon of noise generated by operation of transportation vehicles from tunnel wall compared to open field. In this study, noise characteristics of subway train running through a tunnel were investigated at straight/curved track and tunnel type(semi circular/box). Also the noise measured simultaneously at inner and outer sides of train running through a tunnel, so that the coherence of the various noise sources of subway train to inner noise was evaluated.

  • This paper analyzes difference between current tunnel ventilation calculation method and advanced one which considers effects of polluted air recirculation near tunnel portals. For the calculation, CFD(Computational fluid dynamics) technique was utilized. From the result, it was found that 4.38% more fresh air is required when there is polluted air recirculation near tunnel portal areas. Hence, it is recommanded that the consideration of polluted air recirculation should be made when deciding the ventilation requirements for tunnel.

  • Long term earthquake observations at different tunnel sites within a variety of alluvial soil deposits have demonstrated that a circular tunnel is liable to deform in such a way that its two diagonal diameters crossing each other expand and contract alternately. Based on this knowledge, the soil-tunnel interaction and isolation effect for this particular vibration mode is investigated. Interaction effect is considered with the condition of fixed tangential strain between the tunnel and the soil. Isolation effect embodied by covering up the tunnel with isolation materials is discussed as a possible measure for mitigating seismic damage to it. When Poisson`s ratio of isolation material decreases or the shear modulus ratios of the soil to isolation material become large, the isolation effect becomes bigger.

  • The ground deformation due to the tunnel excavation is dependent on various factors such as ground condition, geometry of the tunnel, excavation method, installation of support members, construction condition of each excavation stage, etc. And the distance from the facing effects significantly the stress conditions of the supported and unsupported ground due to the 3-dimensional structural nature of the excavated tunnel. The concept of ground characteristic line has been applied to properly consider the loading condition given by staged tunnel excavation so that the imaginary supporting pressure is applied against the surface of excavated ground. Discussions on the results of the performed finite element analysis were mainly made with respect to the ground settlement, tunnel displacement, earth pressure, stress mobilized in supporting members.

  • Recently, the construction of road, subway, railroad, and microtunnel for electricity supplement have been increased because of increasement of traffic in urban area, increasement of industrial transportation, and the network between cities in Korea. The deterioration of tunnel structure may occur by various internal and external factors and particularly, tunnel structures tend to contact with either underground water or harmful ions. Therefore, leakage sometimes occurred through the cracks and joints of concrete lining. The leakage in tunnel may affect the durability of concrete lining. In this study, to evaluate the durability and deterioration of concrete lining in tunnel structures, we were performed the various experiments for compressive strength. Compressive strength obtained from nondestructive inspection and compressive strength test varies according to the concrete lining conditions.

  • Seismic and georadar prospecting methods have been used to detect deep seated small tunnel in Korea. The tunnel position interpretation of seismic method has been performed mainly by wave travel time and amplitude. But it was very unstable to interpret the exact tunnel position because of short interval of two measuring boreholes and picking mistake of first arrivals. To solve this problem, this study applied travel-time and amplitude data simulation methods to detect tunnel position.
