Design and Construction of Bottom Drainage Tunnel and the Watertight Tunnel

배수형 터널과 방수형 터널의 설계와 시공

Reappraisal of the design and the construction concept of the bottom drainage tunnel has been made through the seepage analysis. An appropriate design approach for this tunnel has also been proposed. It was revealed from this study that water pressures acting on the concrete lining in the bottom dralnage tunnel much depend on the permeability of the surrounding ground, the source of water supply and the discharge capacity of dralnage facilities. The full release of these water pressures by the current drainage system could not be expected if this type of tunnel is constructed in the ground including alluvial deposits having a high permeability. The necessity of a proper reinforcement of the concrete lining or a modification of its shapes corresponding to the water pressure has been suggested.
