It has been attempted to minimize the environmental impacts due to railroad and road constructions. But assessments of the impact for the unwanted discharges by tunneling are still poorly systematic due to lack of scientific evaluation results ; thus, the tunneling projects frequently cause wide social conflicts. The goal of this study is to provide a guideline for appropriate environmental impact forecasts, assessments, and mitigation planning of tunneling projects.

To verify the characteristics of groundwater inflow accompanied by the tunnel excavation, the flow rate was measured before and after primary grouting. The relationship between the flow rate and fracture system was also analyzed. The initial flow rate was estimated as 120,990 m$^3$/day through six zones, which were characterized by a large amount of inflow before the primary grouting. After the primary grouting, although considerable amount of inflow was still recognized at the six zones, the flow rate was greatly reduced as 42,844 m$^3$/day. However, great recovery of water levels was not observed. Groundwater flow into the tunnel by excavation of the tunnel is mainly controlled by the fracture system that include faults and joints developed in the host rocks. Four sets of discontinuities affecting on the network of grondwater inflow in the study area were identified as follows: N60-85$^{\circ}C$ W.25$^{\circ}$SW/80$^{\circ}$SW(TSet 1), N40-50$^{\circ}$E.85$^{\circ}$SE/85$^{\circ}$NE(TSet 2), N10-20$^{\circ}$E.85$^{\circ}$SE(TSet 3), and N70-80$^{\circ}$E.80SE(TSet 4).

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the tunneling effect on the goundwater-surface water interaction. The designed tunnel line is laid beneath the Hapo-cheon, which runs throughout the study area. And, the pre-evaluation of the tunnel-influence on the Gapo-cheon is urgently needed. However, it is very difficult to find out the similar domestic and/or foreign cases. In this study, the numerical modeling technique was not considered because of the insufficient data. Instead of the numerical modeling, the measurement and analysis of the stream flow rates 5 different points were adopted to evaluate the influence of the tunnel construction on the Gapo-cheon. Based on the analysis of flow monitoring data, it can be concluded that 39% of flow rate in Gapo-cheon is contributed by the groundwater discharge, as baseflow and the construction of tunnel can seriously decrease the flow rate in Gapo-cheon.

Excessive groundwater discharge by tunneling and tunnel operation can lead to groundwater exhaustion and ground subsidence. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate environmental impact and to establish mitigation measures of the impact related to tunnel excavation based on hydrogeological and modeling approaches. This study examined the depletion of surface reservoirs and valley water due to tunnel excavation through field survey, water quality analysis, tracer test, and groundwater modeling. As a result of field water quality test, the concentration of chemical constituents in groundwater discharge into the tunnel is slightly higher than that of valley water. By the result of laboratory water analysis, both valley water and the groundwater belong to $Ca^{2+}+HCO_3{^-}$ type. Tracer test that was conducted between the valley at the injection point and the tunnel, indicates valley water infiltration into the ground and flowing out to the tunnel, with maximum electrical conductance changes of $70{\mu}S/cm$ in the first test and of $40{\mu}S/cm$ in the second test. By groundwater modeling, the groundwater discharge rate into the tunnel during tunnel construction is estimated as $4,942m^3/day$ and groundwater level recovers in 3 years from the tunnel completion. As a result of particle tracking modeling, the nearest particle reaches the tunnel after 6 hours and the farthest particle reaches the tunnel after 9 hours, similarly to the case of the field trace test.

This paper discussed about the effect of permeability reduction of the jointed rock mass in the vicinity of a tunnel which is one of the reasons making large difference between the estimated ground-water inflow rate and the measured value. Current practice assumes that the jointed rock mass around a tunnel is a homogeneous, isotropic porous medium with constant permeability. However, in actual condition the permeability of a jointed rock mass varies with the change of effective stress condition around a tunnel, and in turn effective stress condition is affected by the ground water flow in the jointed rock mass around the tunnel. In short time after tunnel excavation, large increase of effective tangential stress around a tunnel due to stress concentration and pore-water pressure drop, and consequently large joint closure followed by significant permeability reduction of jointed rock mass in the vicinity of a tunnel takes place. A significant pore-water pressure drop takes place across this ring zone in the vicinity of a tunnel, and the actual pore-water pressure distribution around a tunnel shows large difference from the value estimated by an analytical solution assuming the jointed rock mass around the tunnel as a homogeneous, isotropic medium. This paper presents the analytical solution estimating pore-water pressure distribution and ground-water inflow rate into a tunnel based on the concept of hydro-mechanically coupled behavior of a jointed rock mass and the solution is verified by numerical analysis.

지하공간의 개발과 지하공간의 굴착으로 인한 지표수 및 지하수 시스템의 변화나 굴착면 주위의 지하수 유동 체계의 변화는 터널내로의 지하수 유입, 지표수 고갈을 가져온다. 또한 터널 상부의 지반에서 현지응력의 변화로 인한 지하수 유출은 지표침하, 하천수 및 계곡수 고갈을 발생시킬 수 있다. 그러나, 터널설계 시 비용 및 시간, 현장의 진입조건 등의 제약으로 상세한 지반조사의 실시가 이루어지지 않을 때가 있다. 또한, 터널 공사가 진행되는 중에는 공사기간과 공사비 때문에 별도의 지반조사를 하지 않는다. 그 대신에 터널 막장에서 실시하는 Face Mapping을 토대로 공사를 진행하며, 대규모 위험요소가 발견되지 않는 이상 별도의 비용과 시간을 투입하여 추가 지질 및 지반 조사를 실시하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 연구지역의 지질은 경상분지내 백악기 하양층군의 퇴적암류, 이를 관입/분출한 불국사화강암류 및 제3기 화산암류, 전기 에오세 연일층군에 대비되는 퇴적암류로 구성되어 있다. 이들을 피복하는 제4기 충적 퇴적층은 주로 단층곡과 동측 지괴의 선상지 및 하천을 따라 분포한다. 연구지역에는 폭 100 m 이상의 대규모 단층대가 발달하였으며 제4기 단층운동으로 인한 단층파쇄대가 존재한다. 퇴적암 분포지역에서는 반복층서가 관찰되며 소규모 단층, 단열, 변형띠 등이 연속적으로 발달해 있다. 본 연구에서는 터널공사에 의한 지하수 변화를 확인하기 위하여 현장추적자 시험과 수질분석 및 지하수 모델링을 실시하였다. 현장 수질 분석에 의한 지표수와 지하수 간의 수질의 차이를 보면, 알칼리도를 제외한 대부분의 수질 항목이 서로 유사성을 보인다. 전기전도도(EC), TDS, 알칼리도의 경우 지표수의 수원지에서 터널 내부로 유입이 일어나고 있다. 이는 터널 공사의 영향으로 판단되며, 현장에서 실시한 추적자 시험에서는 추적자의 이동 시간이 매우 빨라 지표 수원지로부터 지표수가 터널내부로 빠른 속도(10시간 이내)로 유입된다고 판단된다. 지하수 모델링 결과, 정상류 상태에서는 지하수가 북동쪽의 높은 고도에서 서남쪽의 낮은 고도로 흐르는 것으로 확인되며, 가뭄시에도 지하수 함양으로 지하수가 고갈되지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 부정류 상태 모델링 결과, 일일 평균 $32.49m^3$의 지하수가 터널 내부로 유입되는 것으로 산정되었다. 이 양은 터널 내부뿐만 아니라 터널 공사 현장 주위로도 지하수 유출이 일어나고 있음을 지시한다.

In recent years, ground subsidence has been frequently occurred by underground cavities due to the excessive groundwater inflow, caused by poor construction and management, during tunnel excavation and underground structure construction. In this study, a numerical model (SEEFLOW3D) was developed to estimate groundwater fluctuations for saturated-unsaturated poros media, evaluates the impact on ground excavation with open cut and non-open cut scenarios. In addition, the visual MODFLOW was applied to demonstrate the verification of the model compared with both results. Our results indicated that the RMSE and NRMSE was obtained to range over -3.95~5.7% and 0.56~4.62%, respectively. The developed model was expected to estimate groundwater discharges and apply analysis tool for optimum design of waterproof wall in future.

In this study, the subsidence behavior caused by groundwater ex-flow in a limestone cavity encountered during tunnel excavation was quantified based on numerical analysis and the effect was analyzed. Based on the groundwater level and surface subsidence surveyed at the site, a numerical analysis technique was applied to analyze the characteristics of the subsidence behavior according to the tunnel passage of the geological vulnerabilities. The results of groundwater seepage-coupled analysis were analyzed to reflect the actual ground subsidence behavior. As a result of the study, it was analyzed that the ground subsidence due to the tunnel excavation in the limestone common section(the geological vulnerable zone) was analyzed that the dramatical decrease in groundwater level was the main cause. As a result of numerical analysis, it was analyzed that the long-term cumulative settlement of the asphalt surface after the groundwater ex-flow was 76~118mm due to the reduction of the volume of the soil layer due to the decrease in the groundwater level, and the settlement amount increased as the depth of the soil layer increased.

We performed numerical simulations of the excavation of an underground structure (the Giheung Tunnel) in order to evaluate the rate of groundwater flow into the structure and to estimate the groundwater level around the structure. The tunnel was constructed in Precambrian bedrock in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Geological and electrical resistivity data, as well as hydraulic test data, were used for the numerical modeling. The modeling took into account the strike-slip faults that cross the southern part of Giheung Tunnel, as these structures influence the discharge of groundwater into the tunnel. The transient modeling estimated a groundwater flow rate into the tunnel of $306\;m^3$/day, with a grout efficiency of 40%, yielding good agreement between the calculated change in groundwater level (6.20 m) and that observed (6.30 m) due to tunnel excavation.
