For a long road tunnel, a tunnel ventilation system may be used in order to reduce the pollution level below the required level. To control the tunnel pollution level, a closed loop control algorithm may be used. The cascade control algorithm, which composed of a jet fan control algorithm and an air velocity setpoint algorithm, was developed to regulate the CO level in a tunnel. The verification of control algorithms was carried out by dynamic models developed from real tunnel data sets. The simulation results showed that control algorithms developed for this study were effective to control the tunnel ventilation system.

In this study, the ventilation characteristics is investigated numerically of the longitudinal ventilation method in the curved long road tunnel. Numerical work has been conducted for the jet fan location by utilizing the commercial finite-volume code, FLUENT. Configuration of the tunnel is three-lane, 1600 m long, $120m^2$ in area, 3000 m curvature radius. The velocity profile, distribution of mono-dioxide carbon and flow rate of air are examined in the tunnel. Through the analysis, it is found that the difference of ventilation flow rate Is a little by the jet fan location, but tunnel outlet setup (CASEIII) of jet fans is the most efficient concerned with CO concentration.

The purpose of tunnel ventilation system for long road tunnels is to keep certain levels of Visibility Index and the concentration of CO. Additional equipments such as jet fans are used in road tunnel to discharge pollutants in the road tunnel. The control algorism of tunnel ventilation system takes the value of sensors as input, and then gives the operation method of jet fans in tunnel as output. Information on the variation of CO concentration in tunnel when jet fans are running is needed to minimize their operation time. Numerical analysis is used in this paper because of the difficulty of conducting experiments under standard condition for ventilation of road tunnel. The concentration of CO has been calculated by using 3-dimensional CFD under transient condition with speed of cars, quantity of air ventilation, and the results for various operation position of jet fans are compared.

As SOC (Social Overhead Capital) has been expanded, the highway road construction has been accelerated and city road system has been more complicated. So, long road tunnels have been increased and traffic flow rate also has been raised. Accordingly, the exhausting gas of vehicle cars seriously deteriorates the tunnel inside air quality and driving view. In order to improve tunnel inside air quality, we may need to introduce a compulsory ventilation system as well as natural ventilation mechanism. The natural ventilation mechanism is enough for short tunnels, meanwhile longer tunnels require a specific compulsory ventilation facility. Many foreign countries already have been devoting on development of effective tunnel ventilation system and especially, some European nations and Japan have already applied their developed tunnel ventilation system for longer road tunnels. More recently, as the quality of life improved, our concerns about safety of driving and better driving environment have been increased. In order to obtain clearer and longer driving view, we are more interested in EP tunnel ventilation system in order to remove floating contaminants and automobile exhaust gas. Evan though it's been a long time since many European countries and Japan applied more economical and environment-friendly tunnel ventilation system with their self-developed Electrostatic Precipitator, we are still dependant on imported system from foreign nations. Therefore, we need to develop our unique technical know-how for optimum design tools through validity investigation and continuous possibility examination, eventually in order to localize the tunnel ventilation system technology. In this project, we will manufacture test-run products to examine the performance of system in order to develop main parts of tunnel ventilation system such as electrostatic precipitator, high voltage power generator, water treatment system, etc.

In a long road tunnel, a tunnel ventilation system may be used in order to reduce the pollution below the required level. To develop control algorithms for a tunnel ventilation system, a dynamic simulation program may be used to predict the pollution level in a tunnel. Research was carried out to develop better pollution models for a tunnel ventilation control system. A neural network structure was adopted and compared by using actual poilution data. Simulation results showed that the dynamic model developed by a neural network may be effective for the development of tunnel ventilation control algorithms.

In the present study, the dispersion characteristics of hydrogen leakage from a Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) were analyzed by numerical simulation in order to assess the risk of a hydrogen leakage incident in a long road tunnel. In order to implement the worst case of hydrogen leakage, the FCV was located at the center of a tunnel, and hydrogen was completely discharged within 63 seconds. The Leakage velocity of hydrogen was adopted sub-sonic speed because that the assumption of the blockage effect of secondary device inside a vehicle. The temporal and spatial evaluation of the hydrogen concentration as well as the flammable region in a road tunnel was reported according to change of ventilation operating conditions. The hydrogen was blended by supply air form a ventilation fan, however, the hydrogen was discharged to outside in the exhaust air. It is observed that the efficiency way to eliminate of hydrogen is supply air operating condition under the hazardous hydrogen leaking incident. The present numerical analysis can be provided useful information of ventilation under the hydrogen leaking situation.

Longitudinal distributions of the extinction coefficient and concentrations of hazardous gases in a long tunnel located in urban area haute been predicted theoretically. The results are compared with design criteria. It is found that the maximum concentrations of both CO and $NO_X$ in the tunnel are lower than the design criteria. However, the maximum extinction coefficient, generally considered to be a governing factor for ventilating flow rate, is shown lower than the design criterion. Therefore, it is suggested that the design criterion of the extinction coefficient should be increased to a slightly larger value.

Mountainous areas cover more than 70% of Korea. With the rapid increase in tunnel construction, tunnel-collapse incidents and excessive deformation are occurring more frequently. In addition, longer tunnel structures are being constructed, and geologically weaker ground conditions are increasingly being encountered during the construction process. Tunnels constructed under weak ground conditions exhibit long-term deformation behavior that leads to tunnel instability. This study analyzes the behavior of the bottom region of tunnels under geological conditions of long-term deformation. Long-term deformation causes various types of damage, such as cracks and ridges in the packing part of tunnels, as well as cracks and upheavals in the pavement of tunnels. We observed rapid tunnel over-displacement due to the squeezing of a fault rupture zone after the inflow of a large amount of groundwater. Excessive increments in the support member strength resulted in damage to the support and tunnel bottom. In addition, upward infiltration pressure on the tunnel road was found to cause severe pavement damage. Furthermore, smectite (a highly expandable mineral), chlorite, illite, and hematite, were also observed. Soil samples and rock samples containing clay minerals were found to have greater expansibility than general soil samples. Considering these findings, countermeasures against the deformation of tunnel bottoms are required.

최근 사회기반시설의 투자효율성을 높이기 위하여 평상 시 도로터널로 운영되지만 홍수 시 수로로 이용되는 수로 도로 다목적 터널의 계획이 시도되고 있다. 이러한 다목적 터널은 수로터널로의 이용이 한시적이기 때문에 내수압과 지하수위가 일정하지 않아 터널 내부와 외부의 압력변화가 상당할 수 있다. 특히 지하수위 아래에 건설 된 다목적 터널의 경우 장기간 운영 중에 발생하는 계절적 압력변화는 터널에 반복하중으로 작용하여 구조물과 인접지반의 열화로 이어질 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 다목적 터널의 외부 및 내부 수위조건에 따라 발생할 수 있는 구조물의 거동특성을 모형실험 및 수치해석을 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 수위변화로 인한 터널 거동의 주 원인은 부력이며, 터널 내부 및 외부의 반복적인 수위변화는 터널 주변지반의 이완영역을 확대시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 다목적 터널의 설계 시 수위변화에 따른 영향검토가 필요하며 경우에 따라 저항성을 유지시킬 수 있는 대책의 검토가 필요하다.

도로의 터널출구에서 인터체인지 분기점 구간은 도로이용자가 본선을 주행하다가 인근 목적지로 나가기 위하여 터널을 벗어나서 전방에 설치된 표지상의 목적지 지명을 확인하고, 차로를 변경해서 인터체인지 연결로로 들어가는 단계를 갖는다. 따라서 이 구간에서는 도로이용자의 다양한 행동이 요구되므로 도로이용자의 인간공학적 요소를 중시한 도로설계가 되어야 하는 구간이다. 본 연구는 도로이용자의 인간공학 요소를 고려하여 터널출구와 인터체인지 분기점구간의 최소이격거리를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구수행을 위해서 도로주행 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 다양한 연령층(20대${\sim}$70대)이 실험에 참여하여 터널과 인터체인지 분기점 산정에 대한 통계적 검증을 수행하였다. 그 결과 터널출구에서 인터체인지 변이구간(감속차로 시점)의 시점까지는 최소 500m 이상의 거리가 확보되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 과학적인 근거를 통해서 터널과 인터체인지 분기점간의 최소이격거리 정립에 대한 기초연구 수행이 이루어졌다는 점에서 논문의 의의가 있다. 향후 이용자에게 보다 안전한 지침을 제공하여 도로주행의 안전성을 도모할 수 있는 기반을 제공할 것으로 기대할 수 있다.
