Spalling is a kind of instability phenomenon of surrounding rock around underground openings subjected to high in-situ stress according to the development of extension fractures. Three kinds of spalling criteria have been presented so far; however, all spalling criteria have the range of values so that the fuzziness and vagueness of spalling criterion cannot be avoided. In this study, a new fuzzy probability model is proposed to predict the probability of spalling in a systematic way by using fuzzy probability theory. Many of the underground opening projects worldwide are evaluated with the proposed method. Prediction results expressed as the spalling probability agree well with the in-situ observations. In particular, a new fuzzy probability model considering all three evaluation indices of spalling by adopting weighting factors based on relative reliability among three evaluation indices is able to resolve erroneous prediction of spalling by choosing only one prediction method. Moreover, the more reasonable value of spalling probability could have been obtained by adopting the modified damage index to the newly proposed fuzzy probability model.

In order to guarantee the stability of a tunnel and its optimum design, it is very important to obtain enough ground investigation data. In realty, however, it is not the case due to the limitation of measuring spatially distributed data and economical reasons. Especially, there are regions where drilling is impossible due to civil appeal and mountainous topology, and it is also difficult to estimate rock mass classes quantitatively with only geophysical exploration data. In this study, therefore, 3 dimensional multiple indicator kriging (3D-MI kriging), which can incorporate geophysical exploration data and drill core data off a tunnel center line, is proposed to cope with such problems. To this end, two dimensional mutiple indicator kriging, which is one of the geostatistical techniques, is extended for three dimensional analysis. Also, the proposed 3D-MI kriging was applied to determine the rock mass classes by RMR system for the design of a Kyungbu express rail way tunnel.

A numerical analysis model capable of predicting the shape, the size and the potentiality of collapse of tetrahedral blocks considering the persistence obtained from the field survey of joint distribution around the underground excavation surface has been developed. Numerical functions of analyzing both the exposed trace distribution on the excavation surface and the formation of tetrahedral block controlled by the extent of joint surface have been established and linked to the previously developed three dimensional deterministic block analysis model. To illustrate the reliability of advanced numerical model the case of underground excavation in which the collapse of rock block had practically taken place was studied. Representative orientations of joint sets was determined based on the joint distribution pattern observed on the excavation surfaces. The formation of block on the roof of underground opening was analyzed to unveil the potential tetrahedral block the shape of which was very similar to the collapsed rock block. Mechanisms of collapse process has been also analyzed by considering the three dimensional shape of tetrahedral block.

환기시설이 열악한 도시 지하철역 내의 대기환경은 지상보다 열악할 수밖에 없다. 현재 지하철역을 주로 사용하는 시민들의 안전을 보호 하고 지하철의 대기환경을 개선하기 위해 스크린 도어, 자동 제어 환기시설, 종합 영상 감지시스템 등 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 일부 지하철역에 설치되어 있는 공기질 모니터링 시스템은 수입품에 의존하고 고가의 장비이므로 초기설치 비용뿐만 아니라 유지보수의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 무선 센서 네트워크 기술을 적용하여 저가형 대기환경 모니터링 시스템을 개발했다. 이 시스템의 구성은 센서노드(ZED : ZigBee End Deice), 네트워크 코디네이터(ZCM : ZigBee Coordinator Modem), 수신서버로 구성된다. 지하철역 내부의 미세먼지, CO2, CO, 온습도, VOCs 데이터를 센싱할 수 있는 확장 센서보드를 설계한 후, 지하공간에서의 열악한 통신환경에서 QoS를 보장할 수 있도록 ZigBee 라우팅 기술을 이용한 센서노드(ZED)를 인터페이스하여 하나의 통합된 대기환경 센서 노드(ZED)를 개발했다. 또한 수신서버에 USB방식으로 연결되어 각각의 ZED로부터 데이터를 수신하는 센서노드(ZCM)과 전송된 데이터를 저장 및 처리하여 언제 어디서나 누구든지 인터넷을 통해 확인 가능하도록 지하철 대기환경 모니터링을 위한 수신서버를 개발했다.

최근 빈발하는 국지성 호우나 태풍에 의한 집중호우로 도시지역의 내배수불량으로 인하여 저지대 및 지하공간의 침수현상이 빈번히 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 연안이나 외수위의 영향으로 강제배수가 요구되는 지역인 경우에는 개발에 앞서 선결해야할 중요한 재해저감대책 중의 하나이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 연안의 해수면 및 하천 홍수위로 인한 계획단지 내 배수관로의 동수위 산정을 위한 유출모의를 수행하였다. 연안저지대의 순성토 지역인 경우 동수위 계산에 따른 성토량에 의한 비용이 전체 공사비 결정 요인의 가장 큰 부분을 차지하고 있으므로 이에 따른 경제적이면서 치수안전도를 증가시킬 수 있는 계산 방법을 정립하는 것은 선결되어야 할 문제이다. 이를 위해 도시유역에 범용적으로 사용되고 있는 SWMM 모형을 활용하였다. SWMM 모형 중에서 EXTRAN 블록을 통한 유출모의는 관거내 동수경사를 계산하여 배수, 역류, 압력류, 월류까지도 모의할 수 있다. 다양한 조건으로 배수관로의 설계를 통한 동수위와 성토고를 분석하여 조건별 경제성과 치수안전도를 검토할 수 있으나 관로 크기, 경사, 방향 등을 우선하여 변경해가면서 최적안을 확인하였다. 검토된 계산 절차에 따라서 향후 지형적으로 유사한 지역에서의 배수시스템 설계에 적용 및 기존 배수관망 재설계 및 확장 등의 검토에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

Exiting systems are essential to prevent casualties in case of fire. However, existing guidance systems are lack of flexibility because their functionalities are fixed when they are planned. In this paper, a system is introduced which guides evacuees in realtime by processing data it gathers throughout various sensors in realtime. It is planned and designed to aid quick and efficient evacuation, and produced, installed and tested in an underground space to show its feasibility. In building the system, ubiquitous techniques are employed for its sensor network and evacuee positioning in an attempt to make it cheap and extendable.

Recently, the number of ground subsidence resulting from underground cavity has been increased. Accordingly, the importance of restoration of stress release zone around the underground cavity has been emphasized. The stress release zone is composed of low density soils having extremely low stiffness and degree of compaction, which can lead to additional cavity expansion and collapse of overlying ground. Therefore, in this study, the suitability of restoration method of underground cavity using expansive material for reinforcement of stress release zone around the cavity is verified. The basic physical properties and expansion characteristics of the expansive material were examined. The experiment equipment capable simulating of stress release zone was developed and is used to investigate the effect of expanding material on stress release zone. The stress release zone was simulated using the spring in numerical analysis. The factors of the volume ratio of the underground cavity to the expansion material, the degree of stress relaxation, and the shape of the cavity were varied in numerical simulations, and the behavior of stress release zone was analyzed based on the numerical analysis results. Analysis variables are factors that affect each other. Also, filling of underground cavity and capacity of restoration of stress release zone were confirmed when the expansive material was inserted into underground cavity.

In Korea, efforts have been made continuously to improve the environment of traditional markets concerning the issues of urban regeneration. In particular, many old cities and traditional markets face a lack of parking spaces. As a solution to this, attempts are being made to prepare underground parking spaces by designing urban planning facilities in three-dimensional ways and utilizing the upper part as a more meaningful space. This study is about the master plan to use the upper green area while creating an underground parking lot at 571 Sinmae-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu. This green area was defined as a space with dual values, 'defensive green space' that needs to be ecologically protected, and 'active cultural space' where walking flows to the market and various events are concentrated. Three specific design strategies to balance these values were presented. First, to prevent indiscriminate occupation and damage by people and maintain a healthy green environment, securing the maximum amount of undivided green space in the site was suggested. Second, a space layout and a topography and planting patterns that can overcome the morphological characteristics of narrow and long-shaped sites enable the experience of abundant green spaces. Third, providing space to strengthen the connections with nearby urban facilities such as Sinmae Market and Gosan Library can also intensively accommodate cultural activities in various cities. This study has academic significance in providing implications for urban regeneration projects with similar contexts in the future.

In order to identify a load transfer mechanism of ground anchors, the behavior of multi load transfer ground anchor systems was investigated and compared with those of compression type anchors and tension type anchors. Large scale model tests were performed and stress-strain relationships were obtained. The load transfer mechanism of ground anchors was also investigated in the field tests. Finally, numerical analyses to predict the load-displacement relationships of anchors were conducted. It is concluded that the load transfer characteristics of MLT anchors are mechanically much more superior in the pull-out resistance effect than those of existing compression and tension type anchors. From the results of research work, we could suggest that the max pull-out capacity of anchor capacity to each the soil condition. Also, the MLT anchors can be used to achieve both structural enhancement and economic construction in earth retaining or supporting structures.
