It is necessary to construct underground in the metropolis. Road traffic has reached saturation point. The city has several underground road construction projects. In abroad, double deck tunnels are planned and constructed. It is attained a high level of underground development technology. In case the double deck tunnel (2 lane) is planed instead of the bidirectional tunnel (2 lane), excavation area is similar. But tunnel width is decreased. The reduced width can cut cost for the tunnel reinforcement. This study evaluates the stability of excavation on double deck tunnel. By the assessment of the strength-stress ratio and strength reduction method, quantitative analysis is conducted between double deck tunnel and the bidirectional tunnel.

This study aimed at investigating the influence of tunnel length and area, drag coefficient, train velocity on the characteristics of ventilation in railway tunnel. The modified Subway Environment Simulation(SES) computer program has been used to calculate the flow velocity and longitudinal emission concentration with various condition. According to a series of numerical simulation, the influence of various parameter on maximum air flow velocity, purging length and emission concentration are estimated.

Although underground works are essential to use underground spaces in urban areas efficiently, various damages caused by constructions have often occurred, making them major social problems. Since 2018, it is stipulated in the Special Act on Underground Safety Management that appropriate construction methods must be used in the design stage to prevent various damage cases. This Special Act includes establishing an area subject to underground safety impact assessment, analysis of ground and geological status, review of effects caused by changes in groundwater, review of ground safety, and establishment of measures to secure underground safety. This study area consists of various strata in order of landfill, sedimentary silt, sedimentary sand, sedimentary gravel, weathering zone, and foundation rock. Also, the slurry wall, a highly rigid underground continuous wall, was chosen as a construction method to consider high water table distribution and minimize the influence of the surroundings in this area. However, ground subsidence occurred on the road nearby in December 2019 due to the inflow of loosening soil to the construction area. Thus, several types of site investigations were conducted to suggest an appropriate analysis method and to find out loosed ground behavior and its area for the subsided site. As a result, new design soil properties were re-calculated, and the reinforcement measures were proposed through analytical verification.

As the length of local tunnels is getting longer, the demand for tunnel safety attracts more attention. But only a few information can be found concerning traffic and fire accidents occurred in local tunnel, and full-fledged studies had not been carried out to fulfill the expectation of the tunnel users. This study aims at collecting and analyzing the data on traffic and fire accidents in local road tunnels and providing the fundamental data for the tunnel fire safety evaluation. Focus is placed on quantifying the relationship among traffic accidents, fire occurrences and tunnel characteristics.

Recently interest in enlargement of existing tunnel located in downtown or mountain area have been considerably increased along with requirements and discussion on the road-widening. Therefore, it is necessary to study the construction method and stability of tunnel to enlarge the existing tunnel in design. In this study, the design concept on the alignment, excavation method, reinforcement to enlarge the existing tunnel is described on the basis of the enlargement of 2-lane road tunnel under construction. This paper suggests a proper design method for the enlargement of an existing tunnel in useful practice.

Spray density of the water spray system which is installed in long road tunnels and hazardous vehicle tunnels is applied without proper performance assessment process. In this study, the requirements of Spray Density Guidelines at the standard pressure is investigated through spray test set up the nozzle of a water spray system in a simulated road tunnel. The results showed that all the nozzles used in the test area did not meet the requirements of the Guidelines. The absence of performance test codes and inspection process on the nozzle at real scale in tunnels may have caused this practice. Therefore, it is suggested that the performance test regulations of the nozzle on the water spray system is established in order to properly assess the system performance.

Recently, road cutting works are frequently performed to repair aging underground utilities. However, the conventional road pavement cutting equipment in Korea generates a lot of noise and dust, and the development of high performance and eco-friendly equipment is required. This study classifies road cutting work and analyzes its work characteristics before improving road cutting machine. The classification and analysis results of this study will be used for the future productivity analysis and evaluation of road cutter developed.

In this paper, we propose a Correction Dead Reckoning (CDR) solution using correction information such as Map Matching FeedBack (MMFB) in an underground parking lot. In order to correct position errors in an underground parking lot, vehicle position and heading errors are corrected using MMFB information in road link properties. The proposed method was applied to an in-vehicle navigation system and tested. The experimental results show that the proposed robust dead reckoning solution corrects Dead Reckoning (DR) position errors that occur when driving for a long time in an underground parking lot.

For the application TBM tunneling method, Both tunnel design standard and case study designed & constructed in domestic and foreign have been conducted. According to the study, the number of lane and inner shape (single or duplex) vary depending on the volume of traffic. Also extra space located in the top and bottom of tunnel is used for a multipurpose such as ventilation, disaster prevention, maintenance and administration. To find area ratio according to the components of road TBM tunnel, a standard section was considered as a two-lane road. Then, the analysis of area ratio of this section which consists of components for clearance, extra space in upper and lower tunnel was carried on two widths of shoulder. In addition, after a structural analysis, a thickness requirement of lower slab which is essential for road tunnel was derived on a few supporting types. Through correlation analysis, the ranges of available cross-sectional area between slab thickness and lower extra space of the tunnel was presented.
