본 연구는 모래지반에서 터널의 굴착조건(터널깊이 및 터널직경)과 시공조건(지반손실량), 지반조건(조밀한 모래, 느슨한 모래)을 변화시키면서 터널상부에 위치한 구조물의 거동변화를 조사 및 분석한 것이다. 분석에 사용된 구조물은 4층 블록식구조물로서 변형 등에 의한 균열발생과 균열폭의 차이로 인해 구조물의 손상정도를 쉽게 파악할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 다양한 터널 굴착조건 및 시공조건, 지반조건에 대해서 발생할 수 있는 터널상부 블록구조물의 거동상태를 파악하기 위해 수치해석적 매개변수 해석을 수행하였으며, 수치해석은 구조물의 실제크랙 발생을 묘사할 수 있도록 개별요소법(DEM)에 근거하여 수행하였다. 다양한 매개변수 해석으로부터 얻어진 구조물의 거동상태에 대한 결과는 터널 굴착조건 및 시공조건, 지반조건과 상호연관하여 함께 반영될 수 있도록 도표화 하였으며, 이를 이용하여 향후 모래지반에서 다양한 터널굴착 및 시공조건, 지반조건으로 인해 유발되는 터널 상부구조물의 손상정도를 보다 용이하게 파악할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Tunnels may undergo a larger or a smaller response compared with the free-field soil. In the pseudo-static procedure, the response of the tunnel is most often characterized by a curve that relates the racking ratio (R) with the flexibility ratio (F), where R represents the ratio of the tunnel response with respect to the free-field vibration and F is the relative stiffness of the tunnel and the surrounding soil. A set of analytical and empirical curves that do not account for the depth and the aspect ratio of the tunnel are typically used in practice. In this study, a series of dynamic analyses are conducted to develop a set of F-R_m relations for use in a frame analysis method. R_m is defined as an adjusted R where the rocking mode of deformation is removed and only the racking deformation is extracted. The numerical model is validated against centrifuge test recordings. The influence of aspect ratio, buried depth of tunnel on results is investigated. The results show that R_m increases with the increase of the buried depth and the aspect ratio. The widely used F-R relations are highlighted to be different compared with the obtained results in this study. Therefore, the updated F-R_m relations with proposed equations are recommended to be used in practice design. The rocking response decreases with either the decrease of the difference of stiffness between surrounding soil and tunnel or the larger aspect ratio of the tunnel section.

In this study, the method of designing the flexible wing model which will be used for wind tunnel testing of gust response alleviation system was presented. The design concept proposed herein was validated by performing the modal testing of the flexible wing model manufactured for demonstration purpose. In addition, the study on the gust response alleviation using flexible wing control surface was performed. For this purpose, optimal control with output feedback was adopted for designing the control surface controller, and the effects of gust response alleviation was validated by performing the numerical simulation for the representative flexible wing model. The methods proposed and validated in this study can be applied for wind tunnel testing of the flexible wing for gust response alleviation.

Field measurements of the wind-induced response of two residential reinforced concrete buildings, among the tallest in the world, have been performed during two typhoons. Natural periods and damping values have been determined and compared with other field measurements and empirical predictors. Suitable and common empirical predictors of natural period and structural damping have been obtained that describe the trend of tall, reinforced concrete buildings whose structural vibrations have been measured in the collection of studies in Hong Kong compiled by the authors. This data is especially important as the amount of information known about the dynamic parameters of buildings of these heights is limited. Effects of the variation of the natural period and damping values on the alongwind response of a tall building for serviceability-level wind conditions have been profiled using the gust response factor approach. When using this approach on these two buildings, the often overestimated natural periods and structural damping values suggested by empirical predictors tended to offset each other. Gust response factors calculated using the natural periods and structural damping values measured in the field were smaller than if calculated using design-stage values.

This paper describes earthquake response of the Arhavi Highway Tunnel its geometrical properties, 3D finite element model and the linear time history analyses under a huge ground motion considering soil-structure interaction. The Arhavi Highway Tunnel is one of the tallest tunnels constructed in the Black Sea region of Turkey as part of the Coast Road Project. The tunnel has two tubes and each of them is about 1000 m tall. In the study, lineartime history analyses of the tunnel are performed applying north-south, east-west and up accelerations components of 1992 Erzincan, Turkey ground motion. In the time history analyses, Rayleigh damping coefficients are calculated using main natural frequency obtained from modal analysis. Element matrices are computed using the Gauss numerical integration technique. The Newmark method is used in the solution of the equation of motion. Because of needed too much memory for the analyses, the first 10 second of the ground motions, which is the most effective duration, is taken into account in calculations. The results obtained 3D finite element model are presented. In addition, the displacement and stress results are observed to be allowable level of the concrete material during the earthquakes.

With increasing the number of tunnel constructions, more reliable analysis methods for tunnel excavation is needed to accomplish technically sound design, and stable and economical constructions. For this purpose, a series of construction procedures, which include excavation and support stages of tunneling, need to be considered. In this study, therefore, rock-support response behavior due to railway tunnel construction has been examined by using analytic methods and numerical calculations. For examining rock-support response behavior, the effects of shotcrete, thickness and time of installation have been considered. Through analytic and numerical calculations, it is shown that support pressure becomes higher with increasing the shotcrete thickness and stiffness, and hence the tunnel deformation tends to be stable. It is also important to notice that there is a significant effect of shotcrete installation time on the tunnel deformation, although no significant change in support pressure is observed.

수렴-제한법은 수학적 모델 및 지반응답곡선을 통하여 터널안정조건을 평가하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 수치적 모델에 의하여 수렴-제한법을 검토하였다. 이 방법은 수학적 모델을 위한 기본가정이 필요 없고, 일반 형태의 터널에 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 2차원 수치해석에서 사용되는 숏크리트 강성변화 및 하중분담율은 중요한 요소가 아니며, 지반응답곡선과 지보반응곡선은 상호의존적인 것으로 나타났다. 터널구조는 지반과 지보의 상호작용에 의하여 분석되어야 한다. 그러므로 합리적인 터널설계를 위해서 터널의 안정성은 지반응답곡선에 의한 정성적 판단과 수치해석에 의한 정량적 검토가 필요하다.

A micro-pressure wave is generated by the high-speed train which enters a tunnel, and it causes explosive noise and vibration at the exit. It is known that train speed, train-tunnel area ratio, nose slenderness and nose shape mainly influence on generating micro-pressure wave. So it is required to minimize it by searching optimal values of such train shape factors and tunnel condition. In this study, response surface model, one of approximation models, is used to perform optimization effectively and analyze sensitivity of design variables. Owen's randomized orthogonal array and D-optimal Design are used to construct response surface model. In order to increase accuracy of model, stepwise regression is selected. Finally SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming) optimization algorithm is used to minimize the maximum micro-pressure wave by using built approximation model.

Time-domain commercial codes are widely used to evaluate the seismic behavior of tunnels. Those tools offer a good insight into the performance and the failure mechanism of tunnels under earthquake loading. Viscous damping is generally employed in the dynamic analysis to consider damping at very small strains in some cases, and the Rayleigh damping is commonly used one. Many procedures to obtain the damping parameters have been proposed but they are seldom discussed. This paper illustrates the influence of the Rayleigh damping formulation on the tunnel visco-elastic behavior under earthquake. Four Rayleigh damping determination procedures and three soil shear velocity profiles are accounted for. The results show significant differences in the free-field and in the tunnel response caused by different procedures. The difference is somewhat decreased when the soil site fundamental frequency is increased. The conventional method which consists of using solely the first soil natural mode to determine the viscous damping parameters may lead to an unsafe seismic design of the tunnel. In general, using five times site fundamental frequency to obtain the damping formulation can provide relatively conservative results.

Generally numerical analysis of tunnel lining, under dynamic loading condition, performed not considering pore pressure. But if tunnel excavated under the surface of water, such as bottom of the sea, the river bed, tunnel lining can take pore water pressure. It may be different from evaluated numerical analysis not considering pore pressure. Therefore tunnel design should consider effect of water pressure acting on tunnel lining.
