Abstract

Currently, due to industrial development in domestic regions, buildings are saturated not only in major city centers but also in surrounding urban areas. Accordingly, people's attention has focused on underground spaces, and tunnels are being widely used, especially in urban development. Research on tunnels and tunnel excavation methods is actively underway. However, there is a lack of research on the wear and tear problems of sludge discharge pipes when using a slurry shield TBM. Therefore, in this paper, the L-shaped bend pipe used in the existing sludge discharge pipe was transformed into a T-shaped bend pipe to move sludge. As a result, it was confirmed that compared to the L-shaped bend pipe, the impact of the T-shaped bend pipe on the bend pipe when discharging sludge was reduced. Based on these results, it is expected that wear of the sludge discharge pipe can be minimized by using a T-shaped bend pipe when using slurry shield TBM equipment. This is expected to ultimately lead to economic benefits, such as reducing costs due to replacement of curved pipes or additional welding during tunnel construction.

현재 국내 지역의 산업 발달로 인해 주요 도심은 물론 주변 도시 지역에도 건축물이 포화 상태이다. 이에 따라 사람들의 관심은 지하공간으로 쏠리게 되었고, 특히 도시개발에 있어서 터널은 광범위하게 활용되고 있다. 이에 따라 터널 및 터널굴착공법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이수식 쉴드 TBM 사용 시 슬러지 배출관의 마모 및 파손 문제에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 슬러지 배출관에 사용된 L자형 곡관을 T자형 곡관으로 변형하여 슬러지를 이동시켰다. 그 결과, L자형 곡관에 비하여 T자형 곡관이 슬러지 배출 시 곡관에 미치는 영향이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이수식 쉴드 TBM 장비 사용 시 T자형 곡관을 사용하면 슬러지 배출관의 마모를 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이는 결국 터널 공사 시 곡관 교체나 추가 용접에 따른 비용을 절감하는 등 경제적 이익으로 이어질 것으로 기대된다.
