The transverse ventilation system, commonly applied to urban tunnel, is necessary to be distributed with airflow uniformly. In this study, we developed a program that can optimize the opening ratio of ports to ensure ventilation performance of design criteria through a uniform airflow distribution even though ventilation interval becomes longer. And program's prediction performance was verified by comparison with TUNVEN DUCT program. For comparison, Semi-transverse ventilation system was applied. Both programs predicted a similar port size and air flow distribution, and the variation range of the calculated values was 11.71% and 1.36%, respectively. This program is very useful for port optimization design of transverse and semi-transverse ventilation system, because it is possible to analyze various tunnel lengths and supply/exhaust port installation conditions.

The purpose of the optimization of the installation of supply/exhaust ports for tunnels with transverse ventilation system is to supply fresh air from outside to inside of tunnels uniformly and exhaust pollutant from tunnels properly for creating safe and clean environment for tunnel users. For this purpose, a ventilation port area optimization program was developed to obtain a uniform supply or exhaust air volume inside a great depth double deck tunnel with transverse ventilation system. In order to area optimize the developed port sizing program, the wind velocity was measured in the duct of the currently operated tunnel with semi-transverse ventilation. Also 3D cfd was performed on the same tunnel and cfd results were compared to the measured value. As a result, the error rate between the predicted value from the program and measured value was 6.72%, while the error rate between the predicted value from the program and 3D cfd analysis value was 4.86%. Both of comparison results show less than 10% of error rate. Thus It is expected that supply/exhaust port optimization design of transverse ventilation tunnel can be possible with using this large exhaust port area optimization program.

교통량이 많은 도심지내 장대 지하차도 건설은 교통정체 해소에 기여를 하지만 초기 공사비가 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 또한, 화재등 유고시 이용자의 안전을 최우선으로 고려되어야 한다. 즉, 장대 지하차도 건설에 있어서 경제성과 안전성이 함께 만족할 수 있는 건설 방안이 필요하다. 세종지하차도는 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 다음과 같이 지하차도의 환기방식 및 단면, 포장형식, 사고 예방 및 발생시를 대비한 종합방재시스템을 구축하였다. $\cdot$환기방식은 종류식 환기방식의 경제성과 횡류식 환기방식의 제연성능을 겸비할 수 있는 조합형 환기방식과 Duct Arch 단면을 적용하여 공사비 절감 및 운영시 유지관리비를 획기적으로 절감하였다. $\cdot$지하차도 포장형식은 화재시 내화성이 우수하며 유독가스 발생이 없는 HPC(고성능 콘크리트 포장) 포장을 적용하여 이용자의 안전을 최우선으로 고려하였고 일반 아스팔트 포장 및 배수성 아스팔트 포장에 비해 우수한 성능과 공용수명을 가진 공법을 적용함으로서 유지보수비용의 절감을 가능하게 하였다. 또한, 콘크리트포장의 단점인 소음발생을 최소화하기 위해 타이닝과 그루빙을 적용하였다. $\cdot$지하차도내 화재 등 유고시 신속한 대피가 가능하도록 피난 연락문 간격을 167m 간격으로 설치하고 비상탈출계단 6개소를 확보하였다. 또한 노약자 및 환자의 지하차도 외부로 대피를 돕기 위해 비상엘리베이터 3개소를 설치하는 등 사고발생 시 종합적으로 대처할 수 있는 시스템을 마련하여 적용하였다.

Baehuryeong tunnel connects Chuncheon with Hwacheon in Kangwon, Korea, This tunnel is a single tunnel with 5,057 m long and two bidirectional lanes which will be extended into low lanes in the future. The estimated construction period of Baehuryeong tunnel is approximately 55 months. This tunnel will become the longest bidirectional roadway tunnel in Korea. Compared to a twin tunnel, a bidirectional single tunnel has two major disadvantages with regard to the ventilation system and ease of escape during fire. For these reasons, a service tunnel and the transverse ventilation system are planned first time in Korea. In case of fire, the tunnel ventilation design aims to maintain a smoke free layer for passenger evacuation. The geology of Baehuryeong tunnel site is mainly composed of gneiss and granite. Baehuryeong fault is a mainly large scale fault which stands vertical and parallels with tunnel direction. The influenced zone of this fault is within 70 m. Baehuryeong tunnel was designed that it was separated with the distance of more than 100 m from Baehuryeong fault for its safety.

The smoke control system plays the most important role in securing evacuation environment when a fire occurs in road tunnels. Smoke control methods in road tunnels are classified into two categories which are longitudinal ventilation system and transverse ventilation system. In this study it is intended to review the characteristics of smoke behavior by performing numerical analysis for calculating the optimal smoke exhaust air volume with scaled-model and simulation when a fire occurs in tunnels in which transverse ventilation is applied, and for obtaining the basic data required for the design of smoke exhaust systems by deriving optimal smoke exhaust operational conditions for various conditions. As a result of this study, when the critical velocity in the tunnel is 1.75 m/s and 2.5 m/s, the optimal smoke exhaust air volume has to be more than $173m^3/s$, $236m^3/s$ for the distance of the smoke moving which can limit the distance to 250 m. In addition, in case of uniform exhaust the generated smoke is effectively taken away if the two exhaust holes near the fire region are opened at the same time.
