Abstract

Linear cutting test is known to be very effective to determine machine parameters (i.e. thrust force and torque) and to estimate penetration rate of TBM and other operation conditions. Although the linear cutting test has significant advantages, the test is expensive and time-consuming because it requires large size specimen and high load capacity of the testing machine. Therefore, a few empirical prediction models (e.g. CSM, NTNU and QTBM) alternatively adopt laboratory index tests to estimate design parameters of TBM. This study discusses the estimation method of TBM machine parameters and disc cutter consumption using punch penetration test and Cerchar abrasion test of which the researches are rare. The cutter forces and cutter consumption can be estimated by the empirical models derived from the relationship between laboratory test result with field data and linear cutting test data. In addition, the estimation process was programmed through which the design parameters of TBM (e.g. thrust, torque, penetration rate, and cutter consumption) are automatically estimated using laboratory test results.

TBM의 사양을 설계하고 굴진성능을 예측할 때 실대형 선형절삭시험을 통하여 설계변수를 획득하는 것이 매우 효과적인 방법인 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 선형절삭시험을 위해서는 대형 시편을 획득하고 큰 하중용량의 시험을 수행하는 과정에서 상당한 비용과 노력이 소모된다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 선형절삭시험을 대체하는 경험적 예측 모델, 즉 CSM모델과 NTNU모델을 사용하여 몇 가지 지수를 산정하고 이로부터 설계변수를 추정하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 압입시험 및 세르샤 마모시험을 이용하여 TBM의 사양(추력, 토크)과 굴착에 따라 소요되는 디스크 커터의 개수를 추정하는 방법에 대하여 고찰하였다. 압입시험과 세르샤 마모시험은 TBM의 설계 변수를 추정하기 위한 유용한 시험법이나 그 활용법이 연구 되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 압입시험과 세르샤 마모시험결과를 간단한 형태의 지수형태로 도출하고 이를 선형절삭시험 및 실제 굴진자료와 비교하여 상관관계를 도출하고 이로 부터 디스크 커터의 작용력 및 수명을 예측하였다. 또한 이 일련의 계산 과정을 프로그램화 하였으며, 터널의 연장 정보, TBM의 기계정보, 구간별 암석의 물성을 입력변수로 하여 구간별 굴진율과 TBM 사양 및 운영조건, 디스크 커터의 소모개수를 예측할 수 있었다.
