Abstract

In this study, scaled model tests were performed to investigate the stability of twin tunnels with small clearance, where the pillar widths were 0.5D and 0.25D, respectively. The tunnels were supposed to be constructed in anisotropic weathered rocks with $30^{\circ}$ inclined bedding planes, and the model tests were conducted under the condition of lateral pressure ratio, 1. Six types of test models which had respectively different pillar widths and support conditions were experimented, where crack initiating pressures, maximum pressures, failure modes of pillar and deformation behaviors around tunnels were investigated. The models with wider pillar were cracked under higher pressure than the models with shallower pillar. The models with lining support were cracked under higher pressure and showed less tunnel convergence than the unsupported models. The models with both lining and pillar reinforcement were proved to be most stable among the tested models. In particular, as the model of 0.25D pillar width with only lining support showed shear failure of pillar according to the existing bedding planes, so both lining and pillar reinforcement were thought to be indispensable in that case of tunnel.

본 연구에서는 $30^{\circ}$ 경사진 층리면을 가진 풍화암 물성의 이방성 암반에서 필러 폭이 0.5D와 0.25D로 매우 작은 근접병설터널을 시공할 경우에 대한 터널 안정성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 터널간 이격거리와 지보조건이 서로 다른 6가지 모형을 제작하고 측압계수 1의 하중조건으로 축소모형실험을 실시하였다. 모형별 균열개시압력, 최대압력, 필러 및 터널의 변형거동을 조사하였으며, 복공지보와 필러보강 여부가 터널의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 필러 폭이 큰 모형일수록 균열개시압력이 더 크게 나타나 터널 안정성은 증가하였으며, 복공지보를 설치한 모형은 무지보 모형에 비해 균열개시압력와 최대압력이 더 크고 내공단면의 변형량은 적어 풍화암 근접병설터널에서 복공지보의 필요성을 확인하였다. 복공지보와 더불어 필러보강을 실시한 모형은 다른 모형에 비해 터널 안정성이 더 크게 나타났으며, 특히 필러 폭 0.25D인 근접병설터널은 복공지보뿐 아니라 필러보강도 실시해야 터널 안정성이 확보됨을 알 수 있었다.
