Abstract

In this paper, the surface settlement resulted from the shallow TBM tunnelling has been numerically simulated. TBM tunnelling is especially used in urban area to avoid serious vibration and noise caused by explosion in NATM. Surface settlement is one of the most important problems encountered in all tunnelling and critical in urban areas. In this study, face vibration of TBM excavation is considered to estimate surface settlement trend according to TBM extrusion. The dynamic excavation forces are calculated by total torque on the TBM cutterhead in mixed-face of soil and weathered rock condition with shallow depth. A 3-dimensional FDM code is employed to simulate TBM tunnelling and mechanical-dynamic coupling analysis is performed. The 3D numerical analysis results showed that dynamic settlement histories and trend of surface settlement successfully. The maximum settlement occurred at the excavation point located at 2.5D behind the face, and the effect of face vibration on the surface settlement was verified in this study.

본 연구는 도심지 천층터널에서 현재까지 해석에서 무시되던 막장면 진동이 주위 구조물에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 지표 침하에 대하여 3차원 수치해석을 이용하여 모델링하였다. 풍화토와 풍화암이 각각 50%의 비율로 구성된 복합지반을 고려하여 TBM 커터헤드에 발생하는 굴착시 토크를 산정하여 이를 시간에 따라 막장면에 재하함으로서 그 영향을 수치해석적으로 관찰하였다. 3차원 유한차분해석법을 이용하여 역학-동역학 연계해석을 통하여 지표침하 발생이력 및 분포도를 산정하였다. 연구결과, 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 막장면 진동하중에 의한 지표침하 발생경향을 성공적으로 모델링할 수 있었으며 최대 침하는 막장면에서 2.5D 후방에서 발생함을 확인하였고, 막장면 진동이 실제 지표침하에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다.
