Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) method is a tunnel excavation method that produces lower levels of noise and vibration during excavation compared to drilling and blasting methods, and it offers higher stability. It is increasingly being applied to tunnel projects worldwide. The disc cutter is an excavation tool mounted on the cutterhead of a TBM, which constantly interacts with the ground at the tunnel face, inevitably leading to wear. In this study quantitatively predicted disc cutter wear using geological conditions, TBM operational parameters, and machine learning algorithms. Among the input variables for predicting disc cutter wear, the Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) is considerably limited compared to machine and wear data, so the UCS estimation for the entire section was first conducted using TBM machine data, and then the prediction of the Coefficient of Wearing rate(CW) was performed with the completed data. Comparing the performance of CW prediction models, the XGBoost model showed the highest performance, and SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) analysis was conducted to interpret the complex prediction model.

TBM 터널굴진시 공법적합성을 평가하기 위한 현장조사 및 물리탐사와 세부지질조사를 수행하였다. 해당지역은 부산시 진구 가야동과 동구 수정동이며 인근 수원지인 덕정정수장에서 생산하는 수돗물을 수정산 배수지까지 확대 공급함으로서 송수공급 계통의 이원화로 안정적인 수돗물공급을 수행하기 위한 배수지터널이다. 이론적으로 굴착속도는 암반의 반발경도, 일축압축강도, 석영함량 및 각종 지질특성에 의하여 좌우되는데, 실지 시공에 있어서는 현장여건상 지질조건이나 일축압축강도등 한정된 자료들을 토대로 시공에 임할 수밖에 없다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 모형개발을 목표로 본 연구에서는 다양한 현장시험을 토대로 한 TBM 굴진 적합성을 검토하고자 하였다. 국내 시공경험상 및 지질특성만을 고려 할 때 본 과업구간의 TBM 적용성은 양호할 것으로 판단하였으나, 뚜렷한 근거에 의거하지 않은 설계는 시공단계에서 엄청난 손실을 야기하게 되므로 보다 상세한 검토를 수행하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 TBM 공법선정의 적합성을 검토하기 각종 조사 자료들을 정리하였고, 국내시험의 한계점들을 극복하기 위한 적합한 모형개발의 필요성을 제시하고자 하였다.

본 연구로부터 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에서는 TBM에 의한 파이롯트 터널의 효율성을 극대화한 이방향 천공 발파공법을 개발, 현장실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 입증하였다. 2. NATM 공법에 의한 발파보다 TBM을 이용하여 파이롯트 터널을 굴착하여 확대발파할 경우 상당한 지반진동 경감효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 3. 이방향 천공 발파공법의 현장시험 결과, 측정된 지반 진동치는 20% 이상의 진동 경감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 4. 기존공법과 신공법의 상대비교를 위한 수치해석 결과, 신공법의 방사상 방향 발파는 기존공법의 종방향 발파에 비하여 관심의 대상이 되는 발파공 직상부에서 진동치가 크게 경감되었다.

The construction method for Young Dong Tunnel has been chosen following detailed risk assessment. In this paper, the specific risks to the project programme, associated with adopting either mechanical excavation in the form of a shielded TBM, or drill and blast excavation methods, are assessed. From the risk assessment results, and taking other important factors into account, such as project sensitivity and local experience, the recommendation is made that the relatively low risk drill-and-blast method is the most appropriate for construction of Young Dong Tunnel.

The shield TBM method is widely adopted for tunneling works in urban area because it has more beneficial ways to control settlement at ground surface than conventional mined tunneling. In the shield tunneling, backfill grouting at tail void is crucial because it is supposed not only to restraint ground deformation around tail void during excavation but also to compensate precedent ground settlement by pushing up the ground with highly pressurized grout. However, the tail void grouting has been found to be ineffective for settlement compensation particularly in sandy ground, which might be caused by complicate interaction between ground and tail void grouting. In this paper, the effects of tail void grouting on behavior of ground in shield TBM tunneling were investigated based on 3-dimensional finite element analyses. The results of numerical analyses indicated that backfill grouting actually reduces settlement by degrading settlement increasing rate in excavation, which means decrease of volume loss. Meanwhile, the grouting could not contribute to compensate the precedent settlement, because reduction of volume loss by grouting was found to be counterbalanced by volume change of ground.

When utilizing a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for tunnelling work, unexpected ground conditions can be encountered that are not predicted in the design stage. These include fractured zones or mixed ground conditions that are likely to reduce the stability of TBM excavation, and result in considerable economic losses such as construction delays or increases in costs. Minimizing these potential risks during tunnel construction is therefore a crucial issue in any mechanized tunneling project. This paper proposed the potential risk events that may occur due to risky ground conditions. A resistivity survey is utilized to predict the risky ground conditions ahead of the tunnel face during construction. The potential risk events are then evaluated based on their occurrence probability and impact. A TBM risk management system that can suggest proper solution methods (measures) for potential risk events is also developed. Multi-Criterion Decision Making (MCDM) is utilized to determine the optimal solution method (optimal measure) to handle risk events. Lastly, an actual construction site, at which there was a risk event during Earth Pressure-Balance (EPB) Shield TBM construction, is analyzed to verify the efficacy of the proposed system.
