향수직굴착용장비로는 승갱굴착기(Raise Boring Machine)과 레이스크라임버(Raise Climber)로 나눌 수 있다. 이장에서는 수직굴착용장비가 다수 있으나 일부장비를 간략하게 소개하며, 추후 공법에 대한 설명할 기회가 주어진다면 좀더 다양한 장비 및 공법에 대해 자세히 기술하도록 하겠다.

최근 도심지 굴착공법 선정시 주변환경에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 민원발생을 감안하여, 발파공법이 아닌 기계굴착공법(TBM, SHIELD 등) 등이 부분적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 굴착공법들은 굴착조건의 변화에 따라 적용 한계성이 있고, 한계구간이 직면할시 시공성이 극히 떨어지거나 적용 자체가 불가능하게 된다. 이에 따라, 공사기간의 연장, 공사비의 증가 및 적용자체가 불가 할 경우는 공사중단에 이르게 되어 시공과정에서 다른 굴착공법으로 전환되는 사례가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 따라서 본 사례는 도심지 터널구간으로 당초 할암공법으로 설계되었으나 암반의 강도가 높고 굴착단면적이 협소하여 할암공법이 적용될 수 없었다. 이에 대한 대안공법으로 TBM이나 기타 장비에 의한 기계굴착공법을 검토하였으나, 터널연장이 짧고 터널노선의 곡선부 반경이 작아 대형장비의 투입이 어려운 굴착조건 때문에 최종적으로 폭약을 이용한 발파굴착 공법을 선정하였다. 그러나 발파공법은 진동 및 소음이 필연적으로 수반되기 때문에, 주변 환경공해가 허용하는 범위 내에서 최대한의 시공성과 안전성 여부를 판단하기 위하여 발파진동 및 소음의 허용수준을 설정한 후 시험발파를 실시하였으며, 그 결과에 따라 진동제어발파공법을 적용하였다.

The purpose of this study is 3 dimensional modeling of lower part of drilling system in offshore rig and simulation of drilling process. Recently, shipbuilding companies have been focusing on offshore rigs due to their high added-value and the reduced demand of new shipbuilding. In most cases, however, the basic design, installation and management of offshore rig are carried out by foreign companies. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the knowledge and information of drilling system. In this study drilling devices, BOP(Blowout Preventor) and cementing job and mud circulation related components are included as the main components of offshore rig. The structure and function of them were analyzed from a viewpoint of object-oriented technique. On the basis of this analysis they were modeled in the 3 dimensional structure with 3D software tool such as CATIA and 3DVIA Composer. The drilling process was simulated according to the scenario of drilling operation. This simulation system can be effectively used for an educational tool for students and engineers in ocean plant industries.

The use of roadheaders has been increasing to mitigate the problems of noise and vibration during tunneling operations in urban area. Since lack of experience of roadheader for hard rock, the selection of appropriate machines and the evaluation of cutting rates have been challenging. Currently, empirical models developed overseas are commonly used to evaluate cutting rates, but their effectiveness has not been verified for domestic rocks. In this paper, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess the rock cutting force, cutterhead capacity, and cutting rate to select the appropriate machine and evaluate its performance. The cutterhead capacity was reviewed based on the literature results for the site. Furthermore, a new empirical model and simplified method for predicting cutting rates were proposed through data analysis in relation to operation time and rock strength, and compared with those of the conventional model from the manufacturer. The results show good agreement for high strength range upper 80 MPa of uniaxial compressive strength.

In cable tunnel construction using TBM, the vertical shaft is an essential structure for entrance and exit of TBM equipment and power lines. Since a shaft penetrates the ground vertically, it often encounters rock mass. Blasting or rock splitting methods, which are mainly used to the rock excavation, cause public complaints due to the noise, vibration and road occupation. Therefore, mechanical excavation using vertical shaft excavation machine are considered as an alternative to the conventional methods. However, at the current level of technology, the vertical excavation machine has limitation in its performance when applied for high strength rock with a compressive strength of more than 120 MPa. In this study, the potential utilization of waterjet technology as an excavation assistance method was investigated to improve mechanical excavation performance in the hard rock formations. Rock cutting experiments were conducted to verify the cutting performance of the abrasive waterjet. Based on the experimental result, it was found that ensuring excavation performance with respect to changing in ground conditions can be achieved by adjusting waterjet parameters such as standoff distance, traverse speed and water pressure. In addition, based on the relationship between excavation performance, uniaxial compressive strength and RQD, it was suggested that excavation performance could be improved by artificially creating joints using the abrasive waterjet. It is expected that these research results can be utilized as fundamental data for the introduction of vertical shaft excavation machines in the future.

Rock socketed drilled shafts are used as foundations for bridges and other transportation structures because of their load carrying capabilities. However, only limited information is available in the literature on the effects of roughness on the unit side resistance of rock socketed drilled shafts. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of drilling tools on the socket roughness in soft clay shale in Texas. Field study showed that the drilling tools, auger and core barrel, produced different roughness in the boreholes.

In this paper, the development of trench shield machine for near-surface railway construction were presented. The Near-surface railway can be constructed by cut and cover construction method, because it is installed at the depth of 5~7 m below roads. The cut and cover construction method mostly use temporary supports. The limitation of the cut and cover method is high installation cost and long construction period. To overcome these disadvantages, development of the trench shield machine is proposed and expected to shorten the construction time and cost of near-surface railway system. The sliding retaining wall of trench shield equipment replaces the role of temporary support (solider piles and lagging) and excavator equiped to the bottom front of the machine shorten the excavation time. This paper deals with design of the bit attached to the excavator and required capacity of the motor.

A room-and-pillar underground structure is characterized by its grid-type array of room and pillar. As a result, its construction and economical efficiency can be governed by excavation sequence. In this study, the construction period by the drill and blast method which can be treated as a main sequence for excavation was examined by considering the regulation for blasting and construction standard of estimation in Korea. To evaluate the construction period for the room-and-pillar underground structure constructed in 4 kinds of square-type area ($30{\times}30{\sim}57{\times}57m$), the concurrent excavation pattern which was suggested in the previous researches was used. From the suggested condition, the total construction period by drill-and-blast method can be estimated with the consideration of the construction area, number of jumbo drill and faces in operation.

According to increase of construction projects which is accomplished in the town, diaphragm wall method was proposed. This method diminished noise and vibration. And it is able to excavate deeper than other methods. But excavation work is difficult to maintain vertical and requires much time to work. Also the work result depends on know-how, experience and intuition of excavating machine operator. We interviewed technical experts related with slurry wall method and find equipment's characteristics. We used cost-concern matrix to investigate the propriety for the introduction of trench cutter automation. Through the research, it is proper to apply trench cutter automation.

This paper is a study on the development of equipment system to obtain data on stability in excavation of sharp curve section of Shield TBM. Shield TBM equipment is being used a lot recently for tunnel excavation. Excavation may result in inevitable detours by buildings above the ground or existing underground structures. Preconstruction simulation is required to verify the stability of the construction in case of this. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an automated control system through the development of this equipment system and conduct simulation through simulation of excavation model in the sharp curve section. A system shall be developed to control the left and right angles and thrust of the equipment, and to view data on the earth pressure and propulsion pressure of the equipment in real time during excavation. With this system, the necessary data can be collected for field testing through excavation method and excavation simulation by angle. It is expected that it will be very useful in assessing the actual Shield TBM by conducting a scale-down model experiment.
