Stability analysis and support system estimation of the Beheshtabad water transmission tunnel is investigated in this research. A combination approach based on the rock mass rating (RMR) and rock mass quality index (Q) is used for this purpose. In the first step, 40 datasets related to the petrological, structural, hydrological, physical, and mechanical properties of tunnel host rocks are measured in the field and laboratory. Then, RMR, Q, and height of influenced zone above the tunnel roof are computed and sorted into five general groups to analyze the tunnel stability and determine its support system. Accordingly, tunnel stand-up time, rock load, and required support system are estimated for five sorted rock groups. In addition, various empirical relations between RMR and Q i.e., linear, exponential, logarithmic, and power functions are developed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Based on the significance level (sig.), determination coefficient (R²) and Fisher-test (F) indices, power and logarithmic equations are proposed as the optimum relations between RMR and Q. To validate the proposed relations, their results are compared with the results of previous similar equations by using the variance account for (VAF), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean absolute error (MAE) indices. Comparison results showed that the accuracy of proposed RMR-Q relations is better than the previous similar relations and their outputs are more consistent with actual data. Therefore, they can be practically utilized in designing the tunneling projects with an acceptable level of accuracy and reliability.

This paper describes a simple and practical approach through the application of Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE) to reconstruct wind-induced pressure time series from the covariance matrix for structural load analyses on a low building roof. The main application of this work would be the reduction of the data storage requirements for the NIST aerodynamic database. The approach is based on the assumption that a random pressure field can be estimated as a linear combination of some other known pressure time series by truncating nonlinear terms of a Taylor series expansion. Covariances between pressure time series to be simulated and reference time series are used to calculate the estimation coefficients. The performance using different LSE schemes with selected reference time series is demonstrated by the reconstruction of structural load time series in a corner bay for three typical wind directions. It is shown that LSE can simulate structural load time series accurately, given a handful of reference pressure taps (or even a single tap). The performance of LSE depends on the choice of the reference time series, which should be determined by considering the balance between the accuracy, data-storage requirements and the complexity of the approach. The approach should only be used for the determination of structural loads, since individual reconstructed pressure time series (for local load analyses) will have larger errors associated with them.

기술적으로 타당성이 있는 설계와 안전하고 경제적인 시공을 달성하기 위하여 필요한 터널해석의신빙성 확보는 굴착 및 보강작업으로 이루어진 일련의 시공과정을 역학적으로 파악해야 하고 암반과 지보재의 반응 거동에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 터널의 굴착으로 야기되는 암반거동과 지보재의 반응거동에 관한 연구를 위해 이론해와 유한요소 프로그램을 사용하였다. 암반-지보 반응거동의분석 결과 숏크리트의 물성에 대한 영향을 정량적으로 파악할 수 있었다. 단계별 굴착단계를 모사한 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통하여 지반 물성치와 무지보 굴착길이 그리고 측압계수가 하중분담율에 미치는 영향분석을 통하여 하중분담율을 결정할 수 있었다. 이러한 인자들의 경향을 파악함으로써 실제 터널 해석에 적용할 수 있을것이라 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 2-Arch 터널의 중앙벽체 작용하중 산정에 쓰여지는 Matsuda의 제안식을 검토하여 문제점을 분석하였으며, 현장지반조건을 반영하는 설계정수 산정을 위해 수치해석을 수행하여 Matsuda의 제안식에 계수 ${\alpha}$를 제안하여 2-Arch 터널 중앙벽체 작용하중을 재산정하였다. 지반+중앙벽체의 수치해석 결과, 중앙벽체 시공 후 선행터널 굴착에 의해 중앙벽체는 편측으로 응력이 집중되는 현상을 보였으며 터널 굴착 완료 후 중앙벽체 응력과 비교해 암반이 불량한 경우 최대 86.5%의 응력이 불균등하게 국부적으로 발현되었다. 주변지반의 특성에 따른 중앙벽체 작용하중을 수치해석으로 검토한 결과 제안식에 비해 $14{\sim}83%$의 하중이 감소되었으며, 이를 바탕으로 하중감소계수(${\alpha}$)를 산정하였다. 향후 2-Arch 터널 설계 시 하중감소계수(${\alpha}$)를 전용하면 2-Arch 터널 중앙벽체 구조물의 과다 설계를 피하고 안정성 및 경제성을 확보할 수 있을 건으로 판단된다.

최근 10여년간 터널 막장면에서 연속적인 지지가 가능해진 연약 점토지반에서의 실드터널 시공법이 개발되었다. 이러한 실드공법은 굴착시 융기단계가 조절될 수 있으므로 테일보이드 내부로 토사의 이동을 감소시키는데 많은 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 밀폐형 실드의 일종인 슬러리 실드와 토압식 실드의 계측치를 이용하여 실드터널 해석을 위해 개발된 2차원 탄소성 프로그램 EPSHILD에 적용시켜 검증하였다. 보다 정확한 해석수행을 위해 시공단계에 상응하는 굴착단계를 결정하였고 융기하중과 하중분담률을 고려하였다. 본 연구는 실드 시공과정에서 발생하는 즉시침하에 근거를 둔 것이며 장기침하에 대해서는 고려하지 않았다.

Since low-rise residential buildings are the most common and vulnerable structures in coastal areas, a reliable prediction of their performance under hurricanes is necessary. The present study focuses on developing a refined finite element model that is able to more rigorously represent the load distributions or redistributions when the building behaves as a unit or any portion is overloaded. A typical 5:12 sloped low-rise residential building is chosen as the prototype and analyzed under wind pressures measured in the wind tunnel. The structural connections, including the frame-to-frame connections and sheathing-to-frame connections, are modeled extensively to represent the critical structural details that secure the load paths for the entire building system as well as the boundary conditions provided to the building envelope. The nail withdrawal, the excessive displacement of sheathing, the nail head pull-through, the sheathing in-plane shear, and the nail load-slip are found to be responsible for the building envelope damage. The uses of the nail type with a high withdrawal capacity, a thicker sheathing panel, and an optimized nail edge distance are observed to efficiently enhance the building envelope performance based on the present numerical damage predictions.

본 논문에서는 숏크리트 라이닝 충간 부착성이 숏크리트 라이닝의 하중지지력에 미치는 영향에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 이를 위해 축소 모형시험과 유한요소해석을 병행하여 더블쉘 터널 시공시 숏크리트 충간 부착성과 숏크리트 라이닝의 하중지지 특성과의 관계를 알아보았다. 연구결과 NATM의 더블쉘 구소와 같이 라이닝 층간 부착이 확보되지 않는 경우에는 이완하중 작용시 응력이 집중되는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 토피고 증가에 따라 그 차이가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합하여 설계와 시공시 고려하여야 할 주안점을 제시하였다.

This paper presents the results of a set of wind tunnel tests carried out to examine wind-induced overall structural loads on rectangular medium-rise buildings. Emphasis was directed towards torsion and its correlation with peak shear forces in transverse and longitudinal directions. Two building models with the same horizontal dimensions but different gabled-roof angles ($0^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$) were tested at different full-scale equivalent eave heights (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 m) in open terrain exposure for all wind directions (every $15^{\circ}C$). Wind-induced pressures were integrated over building surfaces and results were obtained for along-wind force, across-wind force, and torsional moment. Maximum wind force component was given along with the other simultaneously-observed wind force components normalized by the overall peak. The study found that for flat-roofed buildings maximum torsion for winds in transverse direction is associated with 80% of the overall shear force perpendicular to the longer horizontal building dimension; and 45% of the maximum shear occurs perpendicular to the smaller horizontal building dimension. Comparison of the wind tunnel results with current torsion provisions in the American wind standard, the Canadian and European wind codes demonstrate significant discrepancies. Suggested load combination factors were introduced aiming at an adequate evaluation of wind load effects on rectangular medium-rise buildings.

As a new kind of construction facility for high rise buildings, the integral steel platform scaffold system (ISPS) consisting of the steel skeleton and suspended scaffold faces high wind during the construction procedure. The lattice structure type and existence of core tubes both make it difficult to estimate the wind load and calculate the wind-induced responses. In this study, an aeroelastic model with a geometry scale ratio of 1:25 based on the ISPS for Shanghai Tower, with the representative square profile, is manufactured and then tested in a wind tunnel. The first mode of the prototype ISPS is a torsional one with a frequency of only 0.68 Hz, and the model survives under extreme wind speed up to 50 m/s. The static wind load and wind vibration factors are derived based on the test result and supplementary finite element analysis, offering a reference for the following ISPS design. The spacer at the bottom of the suspended scaffold is suggested to be long enough to touch the core tube in the initial status to prevent the collision. Besides, aerodynamic wind loads and cross-wind loads are suggested to be included in the structural design of the ISPS.

NATM 터널의 콘크리트라이닝은 국내 도입 초기에는 내장재로서 고려되었으나, 최근에는 구조재로서의 역할로 고려되고 있다. 따라서 설계 시 여러 가지 하중을 고려해야 하며, 그중에서도 지반이완하중은 콘크리트라이닝의 두께 및 철근보강유무를 결정하는 주요 하중이다. 도심지 지하철터널에서는 한계평형이론식 Terzaghi 암반분류 등을 사용하여 비교적 높은 이완하중을 적용하여 설계하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이완하중 산정식들에 대해 검토하고 이완하중 산정법에 따른 구조계산을 수행하여 콘크리트라이닝의 거동을 파악하고자 한다.
