Subsea tunnels that link land to island and among nations for transportation, efficient development of limited surface and pursuit of economic development should be designed to support pore water pressure on the lining. It is generally constructed in the bed rock of the sea bottom. When the tunnel excavation face meets fractured-zones below sea bottom, collapse may occur due to an increase of pore water pressure and large inflow. Such an example can be found in the Norwegian subsea tunnel experiences in 1980's. In this study hydraulic behavior of tunnel heading is investigated using numerical method based on the collapse of Norwegian subsea tunnel. The effect of pore water pressure and inflow rate were mainly concerned. Horse-shoe shaped model tunnel which has 50 m depth from the sea bottom is considered. To evaluate hydraulic performance, parametric study was carried out for varying relative permeability. It is revealed that pore water pressure has increased with an increase of sea depth. Especially, at the fractured-zone, pore water pressure on the lining has increased significantly. Inflow rate into tunnel has also increased correspondingly with an increase in sea depth. S-shaped characteristic relation between relative permeability and normalized pore water pressure was obtained.

In order to investigate flow characteristics after water inrush from the working face in process of karst tunnel construction, numerical calculation for two class case studies of water inrush is carried out by using the FLUENT software on the background of Qiyueshan tunnel. For each class water inrush from the tunnel face, five cases under different water-inrush velocity are simulated and researched. Three probing lines are selected respectively in the left tunnel, cross passage, right tunnel and in the height direction of the tunnel centerline. The variation characteristics of velocity and pressure on each probing line under the five water-inrush velocities are analyzed. As for the selected four groups probing lines in the tunnels, the change rules of velocity and pressure on each group probing lines under the same water-inrush velocity are discussed. Finally, the water flow characteristics after inrush from the tunnel face are summarized by comparing the case studies. The results indicate that: (1) The velocity and pressure change greatly at the intersection area of the cross passage and the tunnels. (2) The velocity nearby the tunnel side wall is the minimum, while it is the maximum in the middle position. (3) The pressure value of every cross section in the tunnels is basically fixed. (4) As water-inrush velocity increases, the flow velocity and pressure in the tunnels also increase. The former is approximately proportional to their respective water-inrush velocity, while the latter is not. The research results provide a theoretical basis for making scientific and rational escape routes.

지중에 건설되는 터널은 대부분 지하수위 하부에 위치하므로 지하수 처리문제는 터널의 장기운영에 있어 매우 중요하다. 배수형 터널의 경우 수리기능이 원활하면 라이닝에 수압이 작용하지 않으나 장기 운영으로 인해 배수시스템의 열화가 진행되면서 라이닝 배면에 잔류수압이 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 배수재 및 배수공 폐색 조건에 따른 터널에 작용하는 수압분포를 ICFEP프로그램을 활용하여 수치해석적으로 고찰하고 현재 적용중인 잔류수압과의 비교 분석을 통해 라이닝에 작용하는 합리적인 잔류수압 적용 방안을 검토하였다.

Tunnel site where high water pressure is applied, such as subsea tunnel, generally selects the shield TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) to maintain the tunnel excavation face. The shield TBM has cutters installed, and the cutters wear out during the process of excavation, so it should be checked and replaced regularly. This is called CHI (Cutterhead Intervention). The conventional CHI under high water pressure is very disadvantageous in terms of safety and economics because humans perform work in response to high water pressure and huge water inflow in the chamber. To overcome this disadvantage, this study proposes a new method to dramatically reduce water pressure and water ingress by injecting an appropriate grout solution into the front of the tunnel face through the shield TBM chamber, called New Face Grouting Method (NFGM). The tunnel model tests were performed to determine the characteristics, injection volume, and curing time of grout solution to be applied to the NFGM. Model test apparatus was composed of a pressure soil tank, a model shield TBM, a grout tank, and an air compressor to measure the amount of water inflow into the chamber. The model tests were conducted by changing the injection amount of the grout solution, the curing time after the grout injection, and the water/cement ratio of grout solution. From an economic point of view, the results showed that the injection volume of 1.0 L, curing time of 6 hours, and water/cement ratio of the grout solution between 1.5 and 2.0 are the most economical. It can be concluded that this study has presented a method to economically perform the CHI under the high water pressure.

지중터널은 대부분 지하수위 하부에 위치하므로 지하수 처리문제는 터널의 장기운영에 있어 매우 중요하다. 배수형터널의 경우 수리기능이 원활하면 라이닝에 수압이 작용하지 않으나 장기 운영으로 인해 배수시스템의 열화가 진행되면서 라이닝 배면에 설계 시 고려하지 않았던 간극수압이 작용하게 되는데, 이를 잔류수압이라 한다. 잔류수압은 피에조미터로 그 측정이 가능하나 이는 라이닝 및 배수시스템을 훼손할 염려가 있어 부적합하기 때문에 라이닝을 손상시키지 않으면서 작용수압을 평가할 수 있고, 운영 중 라이닝의 건전도 평가(health monitoring) 시 수압상태의 파악이 가능한 비파피 예측기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이론적 및 수치해석적 방법을 사용하여 운영 중 터널에 작용하는 간극구압(잔류수압) 예측기법을 제시하였으며, 본 해석방법을 이용하면 비파괴 방법으로 라이닝에 작용하는 간극수압의 파악이 가능하다. 제안된 방법은 이론적 예측기법과 수치해석 결과인 정규화 간극수압 분포곡선과를 병용함으로써 터널 운영단계에서의 잔류수압에 대한 안정성 검토에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

In case of the drainage type tunnel, the residual water pressure is likely to act on the tunnel lining due to the decrease of water-passing capacity of the filter material. Therefore, this study discussions a method to predict the lining load with the consideration of water passing capacity of the filter material through the literature review and numerical analysis. It is expected from the results of case studies that the design load acting on the concrete lining in the drainage type tunnel could be assumed to be about 50% of the hydrostatic water pressure in steady-state ground-water condition.

Objective of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of the concrete lining in water pressure tunnel. In many cases, the concrete lining of water pressure tunnel has not considered as a major structure comparing to the other structures, resulting in use of conservative analysis and design. For the detailed analysis of concrete lining of water pressure tunnel, factors such as rock pressure and water pressure have to be considered. In this study, analysis of concrete lining was performed by using beam element method, shell element method and solid element method. Analysis results showed that the tensile stress at crown of concrete lining is greatly affected by the stability of concrete lining and the tensile stress for the concrete lining has to be evaluated for the section where maximum moment is occurred.

압력도수터널 콘크리트 라이닝 구조계산시 암반의 이완하중, 내수압, 외수압, 건조수축, 그라우팅압 등 다양한 하중조건을 고려하는데, 아직까지 국내에는 압력도수터널에 대한 콘크리트 라이닝 구조해석을 위한 설계기준 및 체계적인 매뉴얼이 없으므로 설계자에 따라 다르게 적용되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 도수터널은 외수압을 저감시키기 위해 Weep Hole을 설치하는 경우도 있는데, Weep Hole 설치로 인해 많은 문제점이 야기될 수도 있으므로 Weep Hole을 설치하지 않을 시 외수압 처리에 대한 합리적인 접근 방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 압력도수터널 콘크리트 라이닝 구조 계산시 외수압 처리에 대해 기존 설계사례 및 문헌 등을 분석하여 합리적이고 적절한 설계개념에 대하여 서술하였다.

본 연구에서는 절리 암반 내 터널굴착 시 지하수 유출량 예측량이 실제 계측치와 큰 차이가 나는 이유 중 하나인 터널주변 절리암반의 투수계수의 감소 현상에 대해 논의하였다. 현재 터널 설계 시 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 지하수 유출량 산정식은 터널주변 암반이 등방, 균질하고 일정한 투수계수를 유지한다고 가정한다. 하지만, 실제로는 터널주변 절리암반의 투수계수는 터널주변 유효응력 상태에 따라 변화하며, 절리 내 지하수 흐름에 따라 다시 터널주변 유효응력 분포가 영향을 받는 수리-역학적 상호거동을 보인다. 터널굴착 직후 터널 접선방향 유효응력이 응력집중과 간극수압 감소로 인해 급증하고 그에 따라 절리의 닫힘현상이 발생하며, 결과적으로 터널인접 절리암반 링 구간에서 투수계수가 급격히 감소하게 된다. 이러한 터널인접 링 구간 내에서 상당히 큰 간극수압 감소가 발생하게 되어 터널주변 간극수압 분포는 등방 균질의 절리암반으로 가정한 산정식과 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 절리암반의 수리-역학적 상호거동의 개념을 도입하여 터널주변 간극수압 분포와 터널 내 지하수 유입량 산정방법을 제안하고 이를 수치해석을 통해 검증하였다.
