Abstract

Underground structures that have recently become larger are required to be stable not only during normal times but also during earthquakes. Especially, it is very important to maintain the stability of the subsea tunnels during the earthquake. The objective of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of the flexible segment, which is one of the breakthrough facilities to maintain the stability of the subsea tunnel during the earthquake using the shaking table test. Another goal of this paper is to propose the optimum position of the flexible segment through 3D dynamic numerical analysis based on the verified results from shaking table tests. The 1g shaking table test considering the similarity ratio (1:100) to the cross section of the selected artificial subsea tunnel was carried out considering the Geongju and Artificial seismic waves, longitudinal and lateral wave, and with/without flexible segments eight times or more. As a result of the shaking table test, it was confirmed that the flexible segment is effective in improving the seismic performance of the undersea tunnel in all the experimental results. In addition, 3D dynamic numerical analysis was performed to select the optimum position of the flexible segment which is effective for improving seismic performance. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic acceleration is attenuated when the flexible segment is installed adjacent to the branch section in subsea tunnel.

최근 대형화되고 있는 지하구조물은 평상시는 물론 지진시에도 안정성을 확보하여야 한다. 특히 지하구조물 중에서도 해저터널은 지진시 안정성 유지가 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문의 목표는 해저터널의 지진시 안정성 유지에 획기적인 시설물 중의 하나인 Flexible segment에 대해서 진동대 시험을 이용한 효용성 검증이다. 검증된 결과를 토대로 3차원 동해석을 통해 Flexible segment의 최적위치를 제안하는 것이 또 다른 하나의 논문 목표이다. 본 연구 수행을 위해 선정한 가상해저터널 단면에 상사율(1:100)을 고려한 1g 진동대 시험(1g Shaking Table Test)을 경주지진파, 인공지진파, 종방향, 횡방향, Flexible segment유무 등을 고려해서 모두 8회 이상 수행하였다. 진동대 시험 수행결과 전 시험 모두에서 Flexible Segment가 해저터널 내진성능향상에 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 시험적으로 내진성능 향상에 효과가 검증된 Flexible segment의 최적 위치를 선정하기 위하여, 3차원 동적 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 분기구간에서 Flexible segment를 인접해 설치할 경우 지진가속도가 감쇠하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
