Purpose: The objective of this study was to improve smart monitoring and monitoring management technology in long tunnels by investigating and analyzing the normal operation rates of monitoring hardware in the long tunnels of high-speed and urban railways. Method: This study evaluated, analyzed, and compared the normal operation rate of 6-8 types of monitoring hardware for each long tunnel, targeting three high-speed railway lines with a long tunnel (i.e., Suseo-Pyeongtaek Line, Gyeongbu Line, and Honam Line) and two urban railway groups with a long tunnel (i.e., Seoul Metro Lines 5, 6, and 7, and 9). Result: The rank of the normal operation rate of monitoring hardware was in the order of Suseo-Pyeongtaek High-Speed Railway (92.1%), Seoul Metro Lines 5, 6, and 7 (85.8%), Seoul Metro Line 9 (85.2%), Gyeongbu High-speed Railway (80.5%), and Honam High-speed Railway (46.7%). Conclusion: The mean normal operation rate of the monitoring hardware in the three high-speed railway long tunnels was 83.4%, and that of the two urban railway long tunnels was 85.5%, indicating that the deviation between them was small. The mean normal operation rate of the monitoring hardware in the long tunnels of the five high-speed and urban railway lines was 84.2%.

The study presents a standard time-temperature curve to evaluate the fire performance of subway tunnel structures. The central subway section is 135km long in Korea, the fourth longest in the world. The number of subway tunnels has been increasing rapidly and fire risk is proportional to the tunnel length. However, an adequate time-temperature curve for subway tunnel fires does not exist. Therefore, we studied a proposed foreign fire design model for which the heat rate is based on the traffic, and we present an appropriate time-temperature curve for Korean subway tunnels. The ISO 834 curve was used as a fire design model and the temperature distribution in the tunnel was estimated using numerical analysis. This led to a proposal for effective measures against subway tunnel fires.

As spreading of train concrete ballast leads to the increase resounding friction noise, an porous sound absorbing block is applied in urban train tunnel as a counterparts against the friction noise. Three steps of major variables tests for an optimal mix design of the block are conducted to pursue the light weight of the block. Pilot property tests of the block for the cases of the fly-ash only as lightweight aggregates are carried satisfying KRT(Korean Rail Transit) and new KRS(Korean Railway Standards). Based on the results of pilot tests, required structural strength and admixture effects are evaluated. Additionally, typical lightweight aggregates are replaced so that lightweight and strength are improved for serviceability of poor working conditions and proper maintenance in urban train tunnel.

In railway tunnels, dust is generated when trains run due to the contact between the wheels and the rails. The generated dust is suspended due to the train-induced airflow, with some of it deposited due to gravitational sedimentation. In this study, the diurnal variation of the dust concentration was investigated in a railway tunnel. A single lane of a tunnel was selected in which to observe more easily the dust concentration due to the passing of a train. Four particle-measuring instruments were utilized to detect dust ranging from 5nm to $20{\mu}m$. To synchronize the train passing time at the measuring location, a three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer and a video camera were used. It was found that the dust concentration was significantly increased from $50{\mu}g/m^3$ to $150{\mu}g/m^3$ due to the train. Particularly, the dust concentration was greatly increased to more than $250{\mu}g/m^3$ during the morning rush-hour times.

최근 포화된 도시 인구와 교통량에 대응하기 위하여 기존의 버스, 지하철 등의 대중교통 수단 이외에 광역화된 도시 영역을 빠른 시간 내에 대량의 승객이 이동할 수 있는 신개념의 교통체계로서 대심도 철도가 소개되고 있다. 철도가 광역화되고 인구 밀도가 높은 도시 영역을 빠르게 대량의 승객을 수송하기 위해서 지하 깊이 철도가 다니게 하는 것이 경제성, 효율성 측면에서 합리적일 수 있으나 편리성과 도입에 초점을 맞추다 보니 여기서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 안전 문제에 대한 체계적인 검토가 간과되고 있다. 대심도 터널 내에서의 다양한 교통사고와 화재를 포함하여 각종 자연 재해와 인적 재난이 대심도 교통수단의 안전에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 방재 측면에서 대심도 터널 자체의 구조와 기능, 교통수단의 기능 측면을 강조하다 보니 인명 피해, 즉 인간 그 자체의 안전에 대하여 간과하는 측면이 있어 본 내용은 국내 유사 교통 수단인 고속철도에서 심장마비 환자의 응그브이료 구축 사례와 대구 지하철 화재의 초기 응급의료 대응을 통하여 대심도 철도 사고나 응급환자 발생 시 대피와 구조의 어려움을 적절히 대처하고, 인명피해 저감 대책과 대심도 철도의 특성에 맞는 응급의료체계를 개발 방향에 대하여 제시하고자 한다.

The Incheon Metro Line 1 Geomdan Extension Phase 1 is the first project in South Korea where both a roadheader and TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) are being used together. The shield TBM tunnel section is 1,057 m long, and is mostly composed of rock, including the section beneath the Airport Railroad and the Gyeongin Ara Waterway. A 7.8 m earth pressure balance shield TBM was used for tunnel excavation. The average monthly advance rate for both the North and South tracks is 239.1 m, with a maximum monthly advance rate of 334.5 m. This technical article comprehensively evaluates the productivity of the shield TBM, focusing on the TBM excavation performance. Above all, it aims to provide useful reference material for the successful execution of shield TBM tunnel construction.

Purpose: This paper investigates and analyzes the loss and damage ratio of maintenance monitoring sensor in metropolitan and high speed railroad tunnel in Korea and abroad. Method: After 5~6 years from the installation, the maintenance monitoring sensor on metropolitan transit tunnels showed the loss and damage ratio from 14.2% to 14.8% in Seoul metro line no. 5, 6, 7, 9, and 13.9% in UK channel tunnel. Based on the result, 15% is thought to be a proper set for the elapsed years, which is 5 years from the installation. Results: The maintenance monitoring sensor on high speed railroad tunnels showed the loss and damage ratio of 60.9% in Ho-Nam high speed railroad on 1 stage after 3 ~ 5 years from the installation, which was approximately 4 times as high as that of Seoul metro line no. 5, 6, 7, 9. Conclusion: Kyung-Bu high speed railroad on 2 stage, after 8~10 years from the installation, showed the loss and damage ratio of 66.8%. Based on the result, it can be inferred that the loss and damage ratio increases drastically after 5~10 years from the installation. Therefore, it is necessary to study on the loss and damage ratio of long term elapsed years, especially more than 10 years from the installation.

In this study, a test-bed system simulated a tunnel and concrete track is tested on cite and invested an allowed limit of multi-layered sound absorbing panel for reducing noise reflected on the concrete track in train tunnel considering the criteria and limitation on the theoretical back ground. The studied results are an effective evaluating system of the sound absorbing coefficient influenced fluid effects depending on the vehicle speed in the urban train tunnel and measuring not only structural behaviors of maximum displacement and acceleration of the panel but also dynamic characteristics of damping ratio and natural frequency.
