Abstract

Ground subsidence can result in the formation of sinkholes, potholes, settlement of structures, and road subsidence. Road subsidence is described as the sudden collapse of the road surface into subsurface cavities caused by the loss of bearing capacity in the ground, such as the dissolution of limestone by fluid flow in the surface causing the formation of voids leading to subsidence at the surface. Road subsidence occurs about 665 times annually, and this incidence has been increasing until 2013. Damaged underground facilities, management negligence, and lowering of the ground water table have been the causes of road subsidence in Seoul. Seoul metropolitan government announced special management counter plans to relieve the anxieties and make the roads safe for passing. Construction sites, such as excavation works, need to be managed properly because they have strong potential to induce road subsidence. The aim of this study was to identify the main causes of road subsidence and suggest management plans. First, life cycle cost analysis revealed the daytime construction to be more appropriate than nighttime. In addition, by analyzing the limitations of using sand as a backfill material, it is proposed to use a flowable backfill material instead of sand. Finally, to reduce the blind spots, which is a problem in surveying the road pavement conditions of local governments, the road to be managed is divided into several zones, and a specialized agency is selected for each zone and a method of surveying the blind spots through collaboration is suggested.

함몰은 싱크홀, 포트홀, 구조물 침하, 도로함몰 등을 발생시킨다. 도로함몰은 지표수 근처 석회암이 녹아 동공이 생기고 지지력 저하로 인한 도로표면의 급작스런 붕괴로 기술된다. 도로함몰은 서울시에서만 2010년 이후 연평균 약 665건 발생하였고 2013년까지는 발생빈도가 증가하였다. 서울 지역에서 발생하는 도로함몰의 주된 원인은 지하 시설물의 파손 및 관리 소홀과 지하수위 강하 등이다. 이에 서울시에서는 여러 기관과 공동연구 및 탐사를 통해 원인을 규명하고 통행자들이 안심할 수 있도록 안전관리방안에 대한 특별대책을 수립하여 발표하였다. 도심지의 경우 주로 굴착복구 공사에서 도로함몰이 발생할 수 있기 때문에 공사장에서의 올바른 관리는 필수적이다. 본 연구의 목적은 도로함몰의 주된 원인을 파악하고 이에 대한 대책 및 관리방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 생애주기비용 분석을 통해 주야간공사 시행의 필요성을 제기하였다. 또한 모래를 뒤채움재로 사용하는 경우의 한계점을 분석하여, 모래 대신 유동성 뒤채움재를 활용할 것을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 지방자치단체들의 도로탐사 사각지대를 줄이기 위하여, 권역으로 구분하고 권역별로 외부전문기관과 협업하여 탐사하는 방안을 제시하였다.
