Recently, Busan-Geoje fixed Link Immersed Tunnel and the Tokyo Port Waterway 2 Submarine Tunnel have been constructing. Furthermore it was mentioned to construct an immersed tunnel from Korea to Japan. As a result, it is expected that the demand to use the immersed tunnel will be increased. However, if a fire occurs in the immersed tunnels, it will damage tunnel elements and not save human lives more seriously than normal tunnels on the ground because of the absence of exits as well as closing structure of the immersed tunnels. In fact, the fire accident in the Eurotunnel which connects between France and the Unite Kingdom through the immersed tunnel had occurred twice in 1996 and 2008, and the inner surface of the tunnel got damaged such as concrete popout and structural damage. As a result, not only economic injury but enormous expense to repair and reinforce the tunnel were derived because of the suspension of traffic after the fire happened. Now, from the examining and analyzing study on the fire resistance of immersed tunnels in developed countries and Busan-Geoje fixed Link Immersed Tunnel, we suggest the establishment method of fire resistance to insure the fire safety of immersed tunnel.

The GK immersed tunnel as a part of the Busan-Geoje Fixed Link Project, introduced the immersed tunnel method into Korea for the first time. This challeging project to be completed in 2010 will open a new era to link oceans of the world with optimized design and safety for future use. The immersed tunnel method would possibly suitable for use in construction of a sub sea tunnel from Korea to Japan and from Korea to China that could potentially be built in the distant future. We hope the techniques learned from the Busan-Geoje Fixed Link Project can be applied to further projects in the near future.

Immersed tunnel had been a rather new term in Korea before Busan-Geoje fixed link project was started and became known through the media. Although Korean is unfamiliar with the immersed tunnel, this construction method has a long history in the world. Busan-Geoje Fixed Link immersed tunnel consist of 18 elements and each element is approximately 180m long. These tunnel elements are prefabricated of reinforced concrete in a temporary dry dock and are towed to the site and lowered into final position in a dredged trench and are placed on a screeded gravel bed directly without temporary support.

The Busan-Geoje Fixed Link is an 8.2 km long motorway connecting Busan to the island of Geoje where the Korean big two shipbuilding yard locate on. This motorway includes a 3,300m immersed tunnel which is one of the longest immersed tunnel in the world and two cablestayed bridges each of 2km in length. The site locates in a exposed offshore, which is subjected to strong winds, large swell waves and strong tidal currents. These conditions together with the tunnel being at a deepest immersed tunnel ever built and the foundation condition is consisting of a very soft, normally to slightly over consolidated marine clay, makes the project unique and one of the most challenging immersed tunnels ever built.

지금까지 침매터널에 대한 대부분의 연구들은 건설기술자의 경험에 바탕을 둔 연구들이었다. 공학적인 관점에서 파랑하중에 의한 침매터널의 안정성은 지반기초의 거동에 큰 영향을 받으므로 파${\cdot}$지반${\cdot}$침매터널의 상호작용에 대한 이해는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 파${\cdot}$지반${\cdot}$침매터널의 상호작용의 메커니즘에 대한 이해를 위하여 부산-거제간 연결도로 민간투자사업 구간 중 침매터널 구간에 직접수치해석기법을 적용하여 침매터널 주변의 지반 및 피복층 내에서 파랑하중에 의한 간극수압, 와도 및 흐름의 특성을 종합적으로 살펴보았다. 또한 다양한 파랑조건 및 피복층의 평균입경변화에 따른 비선형성의 파랑과 침매터널 및 지반의 상호작용이 침매터널의 안정성과 관련하여 논의되었다.

Busan-Geoje Fixed Link, total length of 8.2km, consist of bridge and immersed tunnel connects Gaduk island, Busan and Jangmokmyon, Geoje, in extension of the $58^{th}$ local road. The immersed tunnel, a total length of 3.7km within Busan-Geoje Fixed Link, was planed first timein domestic but the deep water depth like maximum of 50m with offshore conditions and the 35m thickness of soft clay layer under the immersed tunnel, migth be some problems like the differential settlement during or after works. So it was designed to install SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) column partially to improve the soft ground under the immersed tunnel. In this paper, it is presented to illustrate the design including ground condition under the immersed tunnel, improvement design, upheaval shape and ratio due to SCP test construction.

GK침매터널은 침매터널공법으로는 국내 최초이다. 국내 시공사례의 부재, 최대 수심 약 50m에서 이루어지는 침매함체 연결 및 연약지반 등 시공상 많은 어려움에도 불구하고 현재 여덟 개의 침매함체가 성공적으로 시공되었으며 올해 안에 열 두번째 함체까지 시공될 예정이다. 본 논문의 목적은 GK 침매터널에 대한 설계 및 시공 조건을 유사 프로젝트를 수행하는 터널공학자들에게 소개하여 용이하게 프로젝트를 수행할 수 있게 하기 위함이다.

The George Massey immersed tunnel passes the Fraser River near Vancouver, Western Canada. In this paper, dynamic analysis of the tunnel on sandy soils was performed using an effective stress constitutive model called UBCSAND. This model is able to calculate pore pressure rise and resulting tunnel deformation due to cyclic loading. Centrifuge tests conducted at RPI are used to verify the model performance. Centrifuge tests consist of 3 models: Model 1 is designed for an original ground condition, Model 2 for a ground improvement by compaction method, Model 3 for a ground improvement by gravel drainage. The results of centrifuge Model 1 are presented and compared with predictions of UBCSAND model. This model well captured the results of centrifuge test and therefore can be used to predict dynamic behavior of similar tunnels or underground structures on sandy soils.

The tension of cables and motion response significantly affect safety of an immersed tunnel element in the immersion process. To investigate those, a hydrodynamic scale-model test was carried out and the model experiments was conducted under wind, current and wave loads simultaneously. The immersion standby (the process that the position of the immersed tunnel element should be located before the immersion process) and immersion process conditions have been conducted and illustrated. At the immersion standby conditions, the maximum force of the cables and motion is much larger at the side of incoming wind, wave and current, the maximum force of Element-6 (6 cables directly tie on the element) is larger than for Pontoon-8 (8 cables tie on pontoon of the element), and the flexible connection can reduce the maximum force of the mooring cables and motion of element (i.e. sway is expecting to decrease approximate 40%). The maximum force of the mooring cables increases with the increase of current speed, wave height, and water depth. The motion of immersed tunnel element increases with increase of wave height and water depth, and the current speed had little effect on it. At the immersion process condition, the maximum force of the cables decrease with the increase of immersion depth, and dramatically increase with the increase of wave height (i.e. the tension of cable F4 of pontoons at wave height of 1.5 m (83.3t) is approximately four times that at wave height of 0.8 m). The current speed has no much effect on the maximum force of the cables. The weight has little effect on the maximum force of the mooring cables, and the maximum force of hoisting cables increase with the increase of weight. The maximum value of six-freedom motion amplitude of the immersed tunnel element decreases with the increase of immersion depth, increase with the increase of current speed and wave height (i.e. the roll motion at wave height of 1.5 m is two times that at wave height of 0.8 m). The weight has little effect on the maximum motion amplitude of the immersed tunnel element. The results are significant for the immersion safety of element in engineering practical construction process.

캐나다 서부 밴쿠버 지역의 Fraser강 바닥의 사질토 지반에 위치한 George Massey 침매터널이 지진 시에 어떻게 거동하는 지를 연구하였다. 지진으로 발생하는 간극수압을 계산할 수 있는 유효응력모델인 UBCSAND모델을 이용하여 지진하중으로 인한 지반의 변위와 침매터널의 거동을 예측하였으며, 이를 미국 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute(RPI)에서 실시한 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 해석한 George Massey 침매터널의 원심모형실험은 2개의 모델로 구성되었으며, Model 1은 기본 모델로서 원상태 지반을, Model 2는 다짐공법으로 지반개량을 실시한 지반을 모델링하였다. 원심모형실험 Model 1에서 설계지진으로 인한 주변 지반의 액상화로 모형터널의 변위가 크게 발생하였다. Model 2에서 다짐공법으로 터널 주변 지반을 개량하였을 때 모형터널의 수직 및 수평 변위는 Model 1보다 50% 정도 감소하였다. UBCSAND모델은 원심모형실험에서 계측된 과잉간극수압, 가속도, 변위를 비교적 잘 예측할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 검증된 수치해석방법은 유사한 지반에 설치된 침매터널의 지진 시 변위와 거동을 예측할 수 있으며, 액상화에 대한 지반개량공법과 개량범위를 체적화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
