Recently, planning road construction in South Korea is focused on upgrading of the existing road by rerouting or restructuring. For this, roads under current construction in Korea go for more straight in its alignments and routing. Straight routing makes it all the more required to construct many mountain tunnels and bridges in Korea where mountains are so widely spread. Some portal of mountain tunnel is not rarely planed at high steep slope of mountain valley where it is not easy to secure working space for tunnel excavation. Reverse excavation is an alternative measure for excavation of tunnel portal at high steep slope. Construction in reverse excavation method has three important points requiring careful consideration: 1)planning of pilot tunnel in proper width, height, and length etc., 2)measure against the effect of one-side earth pressure to the direction of tunnel portal, 3)securing tunnel safety against shallow ground condition at portal zone. This paper intends to suggest applicable range of pilot tunnel for reverse excavation at the portal zone located at high steep slope, and shows result of study on the appropriateness of a reverse excavation by means of 3D numerical analysis. Result of 3D numerical analysis for reverse excavation at high steep slope shows that pilot tunneling will be applicable to start from the point $20{\sim}25m$ before the portal from inside the tunnel.

The finite element method and statistics of the convergence measurement are useful method of the stability analysis of the tunnel adjacent to the pier. It is the purpose of the this case study to certificate of validity of the application of those methods. The safety of the pilot tunnel method and LW pre-grouting has been evaluated from the FEM analysis. The three-dimensional finite element method is carried out for the decision of the level of stress redistribution at the two-dimensional numerical analysis. An analysis of the convergence is carried out by the estimation of preceding convergence at tunnel excavation. F-examination is applied for this estimation. As results of that analysis, The F-value is from 10.81 to 158.74 and the coefficient of determination is from 0.82 to 0.99. An analysis of convergence is carried out by using regression analysis. Consequently, it is shown that the convergence can be modeled as following function C(t) = a[1-exp(-bt)].

In this study, wish to analyze effect that affect on each tunnel (right and left tunnel) according as proceeding of leading tunnel (right tunnel), following tunnel (left tunnel) and pilot tunnel excavation through behavior of tunnel and surrounding base by model tests. And stress-transfer mechanism that occurs from in-situ loosing area and arching effect by difference of stiffness ratio and overburden heights were verified experimentally. The model tests were carried out by varying the stiffness of reinforced area and overburden height, measured deformation of tunnel and displacement of surrounding base. The model tests followed exactly the real 2-Arch tunnel construction stages.

사암 및 이암을 기반암으로 하는 산악지역에 건설되는 2-아치 (2-arch) 터널의 거동을 터널설계 단계에서 분석하기 위하여 대규모 실내 모형실험을 실시하였다. 터널이 시공될 예정인 지반과 유사한 지질공학적 특성을 가지는 콘크리트 블록을 이용하여 모형지반을 조성하였다. 모형실험은 중앙터널 (pilot tunnel) 굴착을 포함한 여러 단계의 굴착과정으로 구분하여 실시되었다. 또한 터널 .공용기간 중 터널의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 터널굴착 완료 후 상재하중을 작용시켰다. 실험결과에 의하면 대부분의 지반변위는 중앙터널 굴착에 의해 발생했으며, 그 이후 터널 굴착단계에서의 변위발생은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대부분의 지중변위는 0.25D 이내의 범위에서 발생하였다. 여기서 D 는 터널의 폭이다. 한편 실험결과를 분석하여 경암에 시공되는 2-아치 터널의 중앙벽체(centre pillar)에 작용하는 하중에 대한 경험적인 공식을 제시하였다. 터널시공 완료 후 공용기간 중 상재하중이 작용할 경우 그 크기에 따라서는 터널굴착에 의해 발생한 것보다 더 큰 지중변위가 발생할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널의 거동은 중앙벽체의 강성에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 이를 터널설계에 반영하여 중앙벽체의 강성을 증가시켰다. 현재 터널시공을 위한 사전작업이 진행 중에 있으며, 터널의 굴착은 2005년 하반기에 실시될 예정이다.

Jook-Ryung roadway tunnel was constructed by drill-blast after pilot tunnelling by 2 TBMS. nis report analyzes the data for TBM performance in the total length of 7.3 km for the two pilot tunnels. Net penetration rates were recorded as high as 2.3 m/h and 2.0 m/h for the two different directions while degrees of operation were $31.4\%$ and $33.3\%$, respectively. The cutter lives for No.2 tunnel were evaluated $200\~280\;m^3/c$ and around 400 m/set as high as for Meraker 10 km tunnel in Norway. The relationship between net penetration rate and characteristics of rock mass which were obtained by RMR and TSP measurement, coincides with the prior studies. This kind of evaluation is expected to be used to design TBM tunnelling and to help to perform the TBM operation effectively

향수직굴착용장비로는 승갱굴착기(Raise Boring Machine)과 레이스크라임버(Raise Climber)로 나눌 수 있다. 이장에서는 수직굴착용장비가 다수 있으나 일부장비를 간략하게 소개하며, 추후 공법에 대한 설명할 기회가 주어진다면 좀더 다양한 장비 및 공법에 대해 자세히 기술하도록 하겠다.

As spreading of train concrete ballast leads to the increase resounding friction noise, an porous sound absorbing block is applied in urban train tunnel as a counterparts against the friction noise. Three steps of major variables tests for an optimal mix design of the block are conducted to pursue the light weight of the block. Pilot property tests of the block for the cases of the fly-ash only as lightweight aggregates are carried satisfying KRT(Korean Rail Transit) and new KRS(Korean Railway Standards). Based on the results of pilot tests, required structural strength and admixture effects are evaluated. Additionally, typical lightweight aggregates are replaced so that lightweight and strength are improved for serviceability of poor working conditions and proper maintenance in urban train tunnel.

Due to increase in urban tunnelling as urban population and traffic volume increase, problems related with site security and civil appeal also increase. This paper presents a comparative analysis between conventional 2-arch tunnel method and non-pilot 2 arch tunnel method, which were performed in the basic design of Wie-Rae region. According to the analysis results, non-pilot 2-arch tunnel method is more efficient in terms of stability, constructability, and economic aspect. It is authors' wish that design procedure and method presented in this paper could help the design and construction of non-pilot 2-arch tunnel that should be planned in the near future.
