The construction of bored tunnels in soft ground inevitably causes ground movements. In the urban environment these may be of particular significance, because of their influence on buildings, other tunnels and services. The prediction of ground movements and the assessment of the potential effects on the structures is therefore an essential aspect of planning, design and construction of a tunnelling project in the urban environment. In this study, to minimize the effect of tunnelling-Induced ground movements on the adjacent structures, a system for tile settlement risk management was developed. The GIS based risk assessment system for adjacent structures developed in this study consists of several modules such as building information module, settlement evaluation module, potential risk assessment module for adjacent structures, and analysis module for monitoring data. This system focuses on controlling and managing construction processes that may lead to settlement In the surrounding buildings and can contribute to producing the optimum technical and economic design.

도심지 터널굴착 시 지반침하는 지반조건, 굴착방법, 지하수 상태, 터널 지보방법 등 다양한 조건이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생할 수 있으며 대표적인 위험요인은 크게 터널굴착에 의한 지반침하와 지표면함몰로 나눌 수 있다. 터널굴착에 의한 지반침하를 예측하기 위해서는 대상구간의 현황 및 시공조건 등을 반영하고 응력 및 변위를 고려한 수치해석을 수행하여야 한다. 그러므로 터널 전체 노선 및 인근 지장물 현황을 포함하는 영역에 대해, 터널 심도가 변하는 다양한 조건을 고려해야 하는 수치해석의 복잡한 과정을 단순화하여 터널굴착으로 인한 지표면 및 심도별 지반침하를 간편하게 예측하고 평가할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하안전영향평가 수행 시 주요 평가항목인 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하를 연구대상으로 선정하고, 지층조건, 지반특성, 토피고(터널심도) 및 터널 중심선으로부터 횡방향 이격거리와 같은 지반침하 영향요소를 고려한 매개변수해석을 수행하여 심도별 지반침하 특성 및 침하 발생경향을 분석하고, 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하를 간편하게 예측할 수 있는 침하량 평가도표를 도출하였다. 도출된 침하량 평가도표는 수치해석 결과와 비교 분석을 통해 적정성이 검증되었으며 침하량 평가도표를 이용하여 터널굴착 시 지표침하뿐만 아니라 지중 매설물의 위치와 심도에 따른 침하량을 간편하게 예측하고 평가할 수 있다.

이 논문에서는 터널막장 주변지반의 3차원적 지반거동을 고려한 인접건물의 손상위험도 평가시스템 개발에 관한 내용을 다루었다 이 시스템은 크게 건물 및 지반정보 모듈, 계측데이터 모듈, 침하평가모듈 및 건물 손상평가모듈로 구성되어 있다. 지반 침하평가 및 건물 손상평가 모듈은 이 시스템의 핵심 모듈로서 Attewell 등(1982)이 제안한 침하평가 모형을 토대로 터널시공으로 인한 침하량 및 범위를 정량적으로 평가한 후, 터널노선에 인접한 건물의 손상위험도를 Mair 등(1996)이 제시한 건물손상 평가방법을 근거로 평가한다. 터널굴착으로 인한 지반거동 평가에서 가장 큰 영향인자인 지반손실률($V_{s}$)또는 최대침하량($w_{max}$)및 변곡점(i)의 위치는 계측자료, 수치 해석 결과 그리고 각종 경험식을 사용하여 자동적으로 계산되도록 구축하였다. 한편, 건물 손상평가는 터널막장의 위치를 변화시키며 임의 구간의 인접건물에 대한 손상위험도 평가가 수행될 수 있는 기능을 부여하였다. 개발된 시스템 검증은 Boscardin과 Cording(1989)이 워싱턴 DC의 매트로 터널에 인접한 2층 조적식 건물의 계측사례를 적용하여 수행하였다.

To study the influences of tunneling on the earth pressure and ground settlement when the tunnel passes through the adjacent underground retaining structure, 30 two-dimensional model tests were carried out taking into account the ratios of tunnel excavation depth (H) to lateral width (w), excavation width (B), and excavation distance using a custom-made test device and an analogical soil. Tunnel crossing adjacent existing retaining structure (TCE) and tunnel crossing adjacent newly-built retaining structure (TCN) were simulated and the earth pressure variations and ground settlement distribution during excavation were analyzed. For TCE condition, the earth pressure increments, maximum ground settlement and the curvature of the ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/B, but positively related to H/s and H/w. For TCN condition, most trends are consistent with TCE except that the earth pressure increments and the curvature of ground settlement curve are negatively related to H/w. The maximum ground settlement is larger than that observed in tunnel crossing the existing underground structure. This study provides an assessment basis for the design and construction under confined space conditions.

In soft ground the settlement criterion usually governs. Therefore, it is very important not only reasonable assessment of the allowable bearing capacity of the soil but also reasonable assessment of settlement. In the previous studies by many other researchers, load concentration ratio and settlement reduction factor are usually proposed for estimating the settlement of granular compaction piles. In the previous studies, the reinforced ground with granular compaction piles is simplified as composite ground and the analysis is performed with in the basis of this assumption. However, the lateral deformation of granular compaction pile could not be considered and only the relative vertical strength between pile and soils could be considered in the analysis. In this study, a method adapting the Tresca failure criterion is proposed for calculating settlement of granular compaction pile. Proposed method can be considered the strength of pile material, pile diameter, installing distance of pile and the deformation behavior of vertical and horizontal directions of pile. In the presented study, large-scale field load test is performed and the results are described. Also, predictions of settlements from the proposed method are compared with the results of the load test. In addition, a series of parametric study is performed and the design parameters are analyzed.

In the case of the Pohang earthquake, which had a magnitude of 5.4 in 2017, geotechnical damages such as liquefaction and ground settlement occurred. The need for countermeasures has emerged, and experimental research in the Pohang area has continued. This study collected undisturbed samples from damaged fine-grained soil areas where ground settlement occurred in Pohang. Cyclic tri-axial tests for identifying the dynamic characteristics of soils were performed on the undisturbed samples, and the results were analyzed to determine the cause of ground settlement. As a result of the study, it was determined that in the case of fine-grained soils, ground settlement occurred because the seismic load as an external force was relatively more significant than the shear resistance of the very soft fine-grained soils, rather than due to an increase in excess pore water pressure.

A major consideration in the design of tunnels in urban areas is the prediction of the ground movements and surface settlements associated with the tunneling operations. Excessive ground movements can damage adjacent building and utilities. In this paper, a neural network model is used to predict the maximum surface settlement, based on instrumented results from three separate EPB tunneling projects in Singapore. This paper demonstrates that by coupling the trained neural network model to a spreadsheet optimization technique, the reliability assessment of the settlement serviceability limit state can be carried out using the first-order reliability method. With this method, it is possible to carry out sensitivity studies to examine the effect of the level of uncertainty of each parameter uncertainty on the probability that the serviceability limit state has been exceeded.

Tunnel construction activity, conducted mainly in mountains and within urban centres, causes soil settlement, thus requiring the relevant management of slopes and structures as well as evaluations of risk and stability. Accordingly, in this study we performed a three-dimensional finite element analysis to examine the behaviour of piles and pile cap stability when a tunnel passes near the bottom of the foundation of a pile group connected by a pile cap. We examined the results via numerical analysis considering different conditions for reinforcement of the ground between the tunnel and the pile foundation. The numerical analysis assessed the angular distortion of the pile cap, pile settlement, axial force, shear stress, relative displacement, and volume loss due to tunnel excavation, and pile cap stability was evaluated based on Son and Cording's evaluation criterion for damage to adjacent structures. The pile located closest to the tunnel under the condition of no ground reinforcement exhibited pile head settlement approximately 70% greater than that of the pile located farthest from the tunnel under the condition of greatest ground reinforcement. Additionally, pile head settlement was greatest when the largest volume loss occurred, being approximately 18% greater than pile head settlement under the condition having the smallest volume loss. This paper closely examines the main factors influencing the behaviour of a pile group connected by a pile cap for three ground reinforcement conditions and presents an evaluation of pile cap stability.

This paper investigates the effects of micro-tunneling on buried pipelines parametrically. A simplified numerical approach was developed and various parametric studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of ground settlements on the response of buried pipelines. The controlled parameters included the pipe stiffness, ground loss magnitude, and pipe location with respect to a micro-tunnel. Maximum settlement and curvature along a pipeline have been investigated and compared among others for different conditions. In addition, the numerical results have been compared with a theoretical method by Attewell et al. (1986), which is based on a Winkler type linear-elastic solution. The comparison indicated that the response of buried pipes to micro-tunneling-induced ground settlements highly depends on the soil-pipe interaction including the separation and slippage of pipe from soil with the effects of the investigated parameters. Therefore, rather than using the theoretical method directly, it would be a better assessment of the response of buried pipelines to consider the soil-pipe interaction in more realistic conditions.

도심지와 같이 개발가능한 지역이 제한되어 있으면 기존 건물에 인접하여 지반을 굴착하는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이러한 경우 지반은 이완되고 따라서 토압에 따라 가시설 벽체에 변형이 발생하므로 인접 구조물의 안정성에 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 모형실험을 통하여 여러 가지 형태의 지반 굴착방법에 따른 인접 지반의 지표면 변위를 산정하고, 이를 수치해석에 적용하여 지표면 침하에 따른 구조물의 변형 양상을 연구하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 구조물 변형 형상 중에서 각 변위와 수평 변형율을 추출하여 최종적으로 인접 구조물의 손상 정도를 평가하였다.
