Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate the performance of GFRP plate reinforced segments for TBM tunnel support. Recently, the SFRC segment has been applied to prevent local damage such as reduction of the amount of reinforcing bars of the segment, crack control and breakage. However, the steel fiber used in the SFRC segment has a problem of durability deterioration due to fiber corrosion. Compared with the RC segment, the maximum flexural load reduction of the SFRC segment hinders the broad application range of the TBM tunnel segment. Therefore, GFRP plate was considered as a stiffener for the maximum load increase of SFRC segment, and structural synthetic fiber without corrosive concern was used as a substitute for steel fiber. The flexural performance of the segment was evaluated by using the type of reinforcing fiber and GFRP plate thickness as the main parameters. As a result, the maximum load and the flexural toughness were increased by 21.78~23.03% and 0.5~7.96%, respectively, as compared with the segments reinforced with reinforcing fiber and GFRP plate of 3 mm thickness.

본 연구는 GFRP plate 보강세그먼트를 TBM 터널 지보재로 적용하기 위한 성능평가를 실시하였다. 세그먼트의 철근량 감소와 균열제어 및 파손 등의 국부적인 손상 방지를 위하여 최근 SFRC세그먼트 적용되고 있다. 그러나 SFRC세그먼트에 사용되는 강섬유는 섬유 부식에 의한 내구성 저하 문제가 제기되고 있으며, RC세그먼트와 비교하여 SFRC세그먼트의 최대 휨하중 감소는 TBM 터널 세그먼트의 폭넓은 적용범위를 저해하고 있다. 따라서 SFRC세그먼트의 최대하중 증가를 위한 보강재로 GFRP plate 고려하였으며, 강섬유의 대체재로 부식 우려가 없는 구조용 합성섬유를 사용하였다. 보강섬유의 종류 및 GFRP plate 두께를 주요 변수로 하여 세그먼트의 휨 성능평가를 실시한 결과, 보강섬유와 3 mm 두께의 GFRP plate로 보강한 세그먼트는 섬유로만 보강한 세그먼트와 비교하여 섬유 종류별로 최대하중이 21.78~23.03%, 휨인성은 0.5~7.96% 증가하여 우수한 휨성능 효과를 보여주었다.
