Abstract

The present study developed a program which can assess the reliability of tunnel support systems based on a probability-based method. The developed program uses FLAC2D as a solver, and can automatically execute all the processes, associated with numerical and probabilistic analysis. Since a numerical analysis, which models the ground, requires a significant calculation time, it is actually impossible to apply simulation-based methods to probabilistic assessment on the reliability of tunnel support systems. Therefore, the present study used a point estimate method, which is efficient for probabilistic analysis since the method can significantly reduce the number of samples when compared with the simulation-based method. The developed program was applied to a tunnel project, and the results were compared with those through a deterministic approach. From the comparison, it was identified that a probabilistic approach can quantitatively assess the reliability of tunnel support systems based on probability of failure and can be used as a tool for decision making in tunnel support designs.

본 연구에서는 확률론적 기법을 토대로 터널 지보시스템의 신뢰성을 평가할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 솔버로서 FLAC2D를 사용하며 수치해석과 확률론적 해석의 전 과정을 자동적으로 처리할 수 있다. 지반을 모델링한 수치해석시 상당한 계산시간이 소요되므로 시뮬레이션 기법을 적용하여 터널 지보시스템의 신뢰성을 확률론적으로 평가하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 샘플의 수를 시뮬레이션 기법에 비해 상당히 줄일 수 있어 확률론적 해석을 하는 데 효율적인 점추정법을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 프로그램을 터널 프로젝트에 적용하여 결정론적 접근법에 의한 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 이로부터 확률론적 접근법은 파괴확률을 토대로 터널 지보시스템의 신뢰성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있고 터널 지보설계시 의사결정의 도구로서 활용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
