In densely built areas, the development of underground transportation systems often involves twin excavations, which are sometimes unavoidably constructed adjacent to existing piled foundations. Because soil stiffness degrades with induced stress release and shear strain during excavation, it is vital to investigate the piled raft responses to subsequent excavation after the first tunnel in a twin-excavation system. The effects of deep excavations on existing piled foundations have been extensively investigated, but the influence of twin excavations on a piled raft is seldom reported in the literature. In this study, three-dimensional numerical analyses were carried out to investigate the influence of sand density on an existing piled raft (with a working load on top of the raft) due to twin excavations. A wide range of relative density (D_r) from loosest (30%), loose to medium (50% and 70%), and densest (90%) were selected to investigate the effects on settlement and load transfer mechanism of the piled raft during twin excavations. An advanced hypoplastic sand model (which can capture small-strain stiffness and stress-state dependent dilatancy of sand) was adopted. The model parameters are calibrated against centrifuge test results in sand reported in the literature. From the computed results, it is found that twin excavations in loose sand (D_r=30%) caused the most significant settlement. This is because of the higher stiffness of denser sand (D_r=90%) than that of loose sand. In contrast, a much larger tilting (maximum magnitude=0.18%) was computed in dense sand than in loose sand after the completion of the first excavation. As far as the load transfer mechanism along the piles is concerned, an upward load transfer to mobilize shaft resistance is observed in loose sand. On the contrary, a downward load transfer is observed in dense sand.

This study investigated the predicted and abserved outflow of groundwater which occurred during tunnel constructions. Among the 586 road construction projects from 1986 to 2006, 4 route 25 tunnel construction areas and 26 waste water treatment facilities under construction were studied. Most of the tunnel outflow prediction in EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) process have been classified into the 17 types of units depending on the assessor's options, which have not conformed to the request of the residents and non government organizations. The investigation results showed that the outflow of underground water in tunnel construction areas averaged about $0.133m^3/km{\cdot}min$ with the maximum $0.386m^3/km{\cdot}min$, and that the outflow mostly occurred in the early stage of tunnel excavation and diminished gradually. The prediction of outflow of underground water in the EIA process showed excessive results compared to observed outflow, the even 51.7 times. Consequently for more realistic prediction, current EIA method for prediction of outflow of underground water in tunnel construction areas has to adopt numerical methods coupled with hydraulics and geologic informations from unit methods of present time.

Design analysis for underground spaces requires evaluating stability related to tunnel collapses. A failure mode is one of the critical factors in the conventional methods of stability analysis. Therefore identification of failure modes is essential in securing safe construction in the phase of design analysis, instrumentation planning and implementation of reinforcing measures. In this study failure modes at the tunnel heading in granular soils are investigated using physical model tests and numerical simulation for various tunnel depths and ground surface inclinations. Test results indicated that the effect of depth and inclination of ground surface on a failure mode are significant. It is identified that, with an incase in depth, failure modes become localized in a region close to the tunnel. It is also known that an increase in the inclination of ground surface results in inclined and wide failure modes.

지하 채굴에 따른 침하와 수리전도도의 변화 양상에 관하여 조사를 하였다. 채굴 후 암반내 발생하는 변형률과 변형률 의존 수리전도도와의 상호 관계를 나타내는 식을 얻기 위하여 절리 암반을 등가 다공질 매질로 고려하였으며, 단일 절리의 수리전도도는 평행판 이론을 적용하여 결정하였다. 해석 결과에 따르면 채굴 후 암반내 수리전도도의 변화는 침하에 의해 발생한 변형률에 직접적으로 연관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 채굴적의 폭을 증가시킴에 따라 최대 침하량과 수리전도도의 크기가 증가하였다. 절리 간격은 수리전도도의 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

The waterworks company is in charge of managing water facilities buried underground, and the management has been centered on manholes. However, since there is no standard management manual, it has been impossible to introduce and operate a systemized managing tool by water service providers and managers, and manhole management has been carried out by individual data recording personnel for each water service provider. When the management is carried out individually, the data to be shared by other waterworks managers tend to be privatized, and consequently, it may become a big obstacle to proceed with many civil works such as emergency leak repair, road excavation, replacement of old buildings. This report introduces RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system which is based on the magnetic field capable of IOT. It also describes the necessity of leveraging the system for smart managing of pipe management record that has been done by hand writing. The RFID system includes RFID marker, data reader, portable computer operating program, and data base server operating program. In this system, the data is managed with a single communication device, and it would be possible to share the information on the underground facilities and water treatment facilities. This RFID technology is expected to provide water service providers with opportunities to develop more scientific and modernized underground facilities information systems.

The most widely accepted method for understanding the deformation mechanism of rock is from the use of computer simulation. However, if the changes in rock properties after excavation are significant this will prevent the computer simulation kent predicting the deformation with acceptable accuracy. If the deformations are, however, carefully measured in situ, the resulting data can be more useful far predicting the deformational behavior of underground openings, since the effect of the parameters which influence the deformational behavior are included in the measurement. In this study, extensive data analyses were carried out using the deformation measurements from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), which is a permanent nuclear waste repository The results from computer simulations were compared with field measurements to evaluate the assumptions used in the computer simulations, For better description of the deformational behavior around underground excavations, several techniques were developed, namely: (a) the calculation of the zero strain boundary; (b) the evaluation of the influence of adjacent excavations on the deformational behavior of pre-excavated openings; (c) the description of the deformational behavior using in situ measurements; (d) the calculation of the shear stress distribution; and (e) the application of a Neural Network for the prediction of opening deformation.

Previous studies for soil movements induced by tunneling have primarily focused on the free soil displacements. However, the stiffness of existing structures is expected to alter tunneling-induced ground movements, the sheltering influences for underground structures should be included. Furthermore, minimal attention has been given to the settings for the shield machine's operation parameters during the process of tunnels crossing above and below existing tunnels. Based on the Shanghai railway project, the soil movements induced by an earth pressure balance (EPB) shield considering the sheltering effects of existing tunnels are presented by the simplified theoretical method, the three-dimensional finite element (3D FE) simulation method, and the in-situ monitoring method. The deformation prediction of existing tunnels during complex traversing process is also presented. In addition, the deformation controlling safety measurements are carried out simultaneously to obtain the settings for the shield propulsion parameters, including earth pressure for cutting open, synchronized grouting, propulsion speed, and cutter head torque. It appears that the sheltering effects of underground structures have a great influence on ground movements caused by tunneling. The error obtained by the previous simplified methods based on the free soil displacements cannot be dismissed when encountering many existing structures.

본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 사용하여 스포크형 쉴드TBM의 굴진을 모사하였다. 지반에 대해 수평응력계수를 사용하여 깊이에 따른 수평응력 증가를 모사하였고 TBM의 커터헤드에서 발생하는 토크를 기준으로 운전 조건을 부여하여 운전 범위 내에서 굴진을 하도록 설정하였다. 즉, 커터헤드에서 발생하는 토크의 값이 주어진 운전 조건을 넘어서는 경우 굴진속도를 일정하게 줄이고 반대로 운전 조건보다 낮은 경우에는 굴진 속도를 높이는 방안을 고려하였다. 이때 굴진속도 변경에는 운전자의 검토 시간을 고려하여 최소 변경 가능 요건을 부여하고 굴진 조건에 따라 이를 변경 가능하도록 하였다. 이러한 조건을 사용하기 위하여 사용자 프로그램을 별도로 작성하였으며, 결과를 통해 사전에 입력한 운전 범위 내에서 굴진 해석이 가능하였다.

굴착손상영역(EDZ)은 굴착으로 인해 현지 암반이 역학적으로 손상을 입게 되어 응력상태, 변위상태, 암반의 안정성, 지하수의 흐름상태 등에 변화가 일어나는 영역을 의미한다. EDZ의 역학적 특성과 관련한 많은 연구들이 수행되었지만, EDZ에서의 지하수 유동 특성에 관한 연구는 아직 부족한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 굴착으로 인한 수리-역학 상호작용(coupling)에 의해 굴착면 주변의 수리적 간극값이 변하는 영역을 수리적 굴착 thstkdduddudr이라 정의하고, 이를 3차원 분리단열망(DFN)에 적용시켜 보았다. 이를 통해 수리적 간극변화가 3차원 불연속 망에서의 전반적인 지하수 유동에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 또한 3차원 DFN 지하수 유동 해석 시 주로 이용되는 수두 조건과 유량 조건의 적용성을 고찰하였다. 해석 결과 수리-역학적 상호거동에 의해 발생하는 굴착면 주변의 수리적 간극변화는 터널 내부로 유입되는 유량에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 DFN 해석 시 다양한 경계조건에 따른 상이한 결과를 토대로 보다 합리적인 경계조건 설정에 대한 방향을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 실제 현장에서 수리해석을 실시한 자료를 바탕으로 수리적 간극 값의 변화를 고려할 때와 고려하지 않을 때의 유입유량 차이를 통해, 3차원 지하공동의 지하수 유동해석 시 수리적 간극 값의 변화를 고려하는 것이 보다 더 보수적인 결과를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
