The distinct element method(DEM) si well suited to the kinematic analysis of blocky rock masses. Two distinctive problems, a rock avalache and tunnel in jointed rock masses, are chosen to apply the DEM which is based on perfectly rigid behaviour of blocks. Investigated for both problems are the effects of the input parameters such as contact stiffnesses, friction coefficient and damping property. Using various types of models of the avalanche and tunne, an extensive parametric study is done to gain experiences in the method, and then to alleviate difficulties in determining parameter values suitable for a given problem. The coefficient of frictio has significant effects on all aspects of avalanche motion(travel distance, velocity and travel time), while the stiffnesses affect the rebounding and jumping motions after collision. The motion predicted by the models having single and mutiple blocks agrees well to the observations reported on the actual avalache. For the tunnel problem, the behaviour of the key block in an example tunnel is compared by testing values of the input parameters. The stability of the tunnel is dependent primarily on the friction coefficient, while the stiffness and damping properties influence the block velocity. The kinematic stability of a tunnel for underground unclear waste repository is analyzed using the joint geometry data(orientation, spacing and persistence) occurred in a tailrace tunnel. Allowing a small deviation to the mean orientation results in different modes of failure of the rock blocks around the tunnel. Of all parameters tested, the most important to the stability of the tunnel in blocky rock masses are the geometry of the blocks generated by mapping the joint and tunnel surfaces in 3-dimensions and also the friction coefficient of the joints particularly for the stability of the side walls.

지하수면하의 터널 굴착은 물로 인한 많은 지반공학적 문제가 나타나며, 해저터널의 경우 높은 투수성과 고수압을 나타내는 파쇄대 근처에서의 안전율 감소로 인한 침수사고를 유발될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 유한한 폭의 투수성이 높은 구간(문제구간) 에서 터널 안전성에 대한 수압의 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. advance core 개념에 따라 막장전방의 가상 실린더에 작용하는 침투력을 모사 하였으며, 3차원 정상류 침투수 해석을 통하여 막장전방 지반의 수리적 거동에 주안점을 두고 침투력과 막장면의 안정성에 대한 문제구간의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 막장면으로부터 터널의 막장면 안정성에 영향을 주는 가상 실린더의 경계면까지의 거리는 터널 반경의 약 5배 정도인 것으로 추정된다. 이 연구의 적용된 가정의 제한성에도 불구하고 문제구간의 위험성을 고려할 할 때 이 연구결과가 시사하는 바가 크다.

The practical usage of underground space and demand for vehicular tunnels necessitate the construction of non-circular wide rectangular tunnels. However, constructing large tunnels in soft clayey soil conditions with no ground improvement can lead to excessive ground deformations and collapse. In recent years, in situ ground improvement techniques such as jet grouting and deep cement mixing are often utilized to perform cement-stabilisation around the tunnel boundary to prevent large deformations and failure. This paper discusses the stability characteristics and failure behaviour of a wide rectangular tunnel in cement-treated soft clays. First, the plane strain finite element model is developed and validated with the results of centrifuge model tests available in the past literature. The critical tunnel support pressures computed from the numerical study are found to be in good agreement with those of centrifuge model tests. The influence of varying strength and thickness of improved soil surround, and cover depth are studied on the stability and failure modes of a rectangular tunnel. It is observed that the failure behaviour of the tunnel in improved soil surround depends on the ratio of the strength of improved soil surround to the strength of surrounding soil, i.e., q_ui/q_us, rather than just q_ui. For low q_ui/q_us ratios,the stability increases with the cover; however, for the high strength improved soil surrounds with q_ui >> q_us, the stability decreases with the cover. The failure chart, modified stability equation, and stability chart are also proposed as preliminary design guidelines for constructing rectangular tunnels in the improved soil surrounded by soft clays.

When the ground is excavated adjacent to the existing tunnel, which is loaded by the surcharge on the ground surface, the tunnel stability would be very sensitive to the deformation of the ground induced by the horizontal displacement of braced wall. The stability of the existing surcharged tunnel could be controlled by pre-loading on the braced wall. In this paper, it was investigated, if it would be possible to keep the existing surcharged tunnel stable by preventing the horizontal displacement of a braced wall by imposing the pre-loading during the ground excavation. For this purpose, large scale model tests were performed in a scale 1/10 at the test pit which was 2.0m in width and 6.0m in height and 4.0m in length. Isotropic test ground was constructed homogeneously by wet sand. Model tunnel was constructed in the test ground. Surcharge was loaded on the ground surface above the tunnel. During the tests, the behavior of model tunnel and model braced wall was measured. Numerical analyses were also performed in the same condition as the tests. And their results were compared to that of the model tests. Consequently, the effect of a surcharge could be compensated by imposing the pre-loading on the braced wall. The existing tunnel and the braced wall could be kept stable by preventing the horizontal displacement of the braced wall through pre-loading, although the tunnel is surcharged.

본 연구에서는 연약한 지반에 속하는 모래지반과 풍화토가 터널상부에 존재하며 연암층에 위치하는 해저터널을 대상으로 터널 배면의 간극수압이 터널의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 비배수 조건과 배수조건을 가정하여 연계해석을 수행하였다. 비배수 터널의 경우에도 숏크리트 두께를 달리하여 안정성을 비교하였으며, 배수 터널의 경우는 숏크리트의 투수계수와 공극률을 달리하여 민감도분석을 수행하였다. 해저터널의 안정성은 유광호 등(2000, 2001, 2005)에 의해 제안된 전단강도감소 기법을 사용하여 수치적으로 구해지는 안전율을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 수리-역학적 연계해석 시 시공단계별 정상류 상태를 먼저 재현하고 터널의 안전율을 구했다. 연구결과 터널내로의 지하수 유입량을 어느 정도 허용함으로써 오히려 터널의 안정성이 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

On the basis of the geological conditions of high and steep mountainous slope on which an exit portal of an express railway tunnel with a bridge-tunnel combination is to be built, the composite structure of the exit portal with a bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination is presented and the stability of the slope on which the express railway portal is to be built is analyzed using three dimensional (3D) numerical simulation in the paper. Comparison of the practicability for the reinforcement of slope with in-situ bored piles and diaphragm walls are performed so as to enhance the stability of the high and steep slope. The safety factor of the slope due to rockmass excavation both inside the exit portal and beneath the bridge abutment of the bridge-tunnel combination has been also derived using strength reduction technique. The obtained results show that post tunnel portal is a preferred structure to fit high and steep slope, and the surrounding rock around the exit portal of the tunnel on the high and steep mountainous slope remains stable when rockmass is excavated both from the inside of the exit portal and underneath the bridge abutment after the slope is reinforced with both bored piles and diaphragm walls. The stability of the high and steep slope is principally dominated by the shear stress state of the rockmass at the toe of the slope; the procedure of excavating rockmass in the foundation pit of the bridge abutment does not obviously affect the slope stability. In-situ bored piles are more effective in controlling the deformation of the abutment foundation pit in comparison with diaphragm walls and are used as a preferred retaining structure to uphold the stability of slope in respect of the lesser time, easier procedure and lower cost in the construction of the exit portal with bridge-tunnel combination on the high and steep mountainous slope. The results obtained from the numerical analysis in the paper can be used to guide the structural design and construction of express railway tunnel portal with bridge-tunnel combination on high and abrupt mountainous slope under similar situations.

터널 시공 시 막장의 안정은 주요 관심사이다. 그러나, 터널 지보재에 비해 상대적으로 터널 막장의 안정성 문제는 그리 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 또한 지하수위 하에서 터널 시공 시 터널 내로 지하수 흐름에 의해 발생된 침투수력은 막장의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 요소를 고려하여 터널 막장의 안정성을 평가하였다. 하나는 극한이론 중 상한치 이론으로 산출된 유효응력이며, 다른 하나는 정상류 흐름조건에서 수치해석으로부터 산출된 침투수력이다. 열악한 지반조건에서 터널 시공 시 터널의 안정과 인접 구조물의 손상을 방지하기 위해 보조공법이 적용된다. 강관 다단 그라우팅 공법은 근래 국내에서 적용되고 있는 보조공법 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 강관 다단 그라우팅으로 보강된 터널의 막장 안정성도 함께 평가되었다.

터널과 같은 지하구조물의 경우에는 지반의 다양한 변동성과 불확실성으로 인하여 터널 시공단계에서의 위험이 계속적으로 종가하고 있으므로, 터널 설계단계에서 터널 안정성 및 환경성에 영향을 주는 위험요소에 대한 위험도 평가 및 관리가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 터널굴착으로 인한 안정성에 대한 위험도 분석을 지반자체의 지보능력, 지반침하에 의한 인접구조물 손상, 막장내 지하수 유입량, 지진영향 등의 요소로 구분하여 평가하였다. 또한 환경성에 대한 위험도 분석을 발파로 인한 소음 진동, 운영중 열차운행으로 인한 소음 진동, 지하수위 저하로 인한 환경영향 등으로 평가하였다. 이와 같은 위험요소들에 대하여 위험도를 정량적으로 평가하고 터널 전구간에 걸친 위험도의 분포특성을 파악하였다. 또한 다양한 확률론적 기법과 통계자료를 사용하여 각각의 위험도에 대한 비용(cost)을 분석하므로서 위험도가 터널공사에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 그리고 본 위험도 평가기법을 터널설계단계에서 적용하므로서 기존의 방법을 보완할 수 있는 보다 합리적인 위험도 평가방법으로서의 유용성을 검토하였다.
