When the walls and floor of a tunnel are excited by a train, a ground vibration energy is transmitted to the surface and to footing of a nearby buildings. Excessive vibration affected to a building structure causes undesirable effect to the structural safety and the perception on residents in building. In this paper, a simple approach is introduced to predict how much vibration, in terms of level and spectra, is transmitted through the ground from the tunnel vibration excitation. A high rise building on a tunnel is selected as an application example of this case study.

For the purpose of investigating the impulsive noise at the exit of high-speed railway tunnel and the pressure transients inside the tunnel, experiments were carried out using a shock tube with an open end. A great deal of experimental data were obtained and explored to analyze the peak pressures and maximum pressure gradients in the pressure waves. The effects of the distance and cross-sectional area ratio between two-continuous tunnels on the characteristics of the pressure waves were investigated. The peak pressure inside the second tunnel decreases for the distance and cross-sectional area ratio between two tunnels to increase. Also the peak pressure and maximum pressure gradient of the pressure wave inside the second tunnel increase as the maximum pressure gradient of initial compression wave increases.

There has been need for safety monitoring systems for the social infrastructures. These infrastructures are subject to degradation over time, reduced functionality, and loss of functionality as a result of factors such as a wide variety of installation environments, natural disasters, and nearby work. Therefore, it is necessary to perform appropriate inspections, repairs, and renovations to ensure safe and efficient maintenance and operation. This paper introduces the example of the development of the safety monitoring system for operating railway tunnel. Tunnel profile measuring system using laser beam, crack gauges, accelerometer and a pluviometer were implemented to monitor the safety of a deteriorated tunnel. The measured data were transferred through wireless network and analyzed in real time. The safety criteria for tunnel stabilities and train operations are also discussed.

In this study CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of the steady fire-driven fuid flow for the performance test of ventilation at railway tunnel between Heuksok and Nodeul Station from Seoul Metro 9 is performed. There were fans with exhaust and intake modes and each was installed at the middle and both ends of the tunnel. For this test, the pool fire source of methyl alcohol with 1.5MW and smoke generators were installed between the middle of tunnel and Heuksok Station. In this test, the smoke behavior from natural convection was observed for 10 minutes from the ignition of pool fire and then fans with intake-modes at both sides of Heuksok effect of fan-on with intake mode located in the opposite side of the tunnel nearby Heuksok Station on fire-driven fluid flow is studied on when the boundary conditions of fan-on at the tunnel between Heuksok and Nodeul Station are the same as test. FLUENT, a commercial CFD code, is used for this analysis.

When a railway train enters a tunnel at high speed, a compression wave is formed in front of the train and propagates along the tunnel. The compression wave subsequently emerges from the exit of the tunnel, which causes an impulsive noise. In order to estimate the magnitudes of the noises and to effectively minimize them, the characteristics of the compression wave propagating in a tunnel must be understood. In the present paper, the experimental and analytical investigations on the attenuation and distortion of the propagating compression waves were carried out using a model tunnel. This facility is a kind of open-ended shock tube with a fast-opening gate valve instead of a general diaphragm. One-dimensional flow model employed in the present study could appropriately predict the strength of the compression wave, Mach number and flow velocity induced by the compression wave. The experimental results show that the strength of a compression wave decreases with the distance from the tunnel entrance. The decreasing rate of the wave strength and pressure gradient in the wave is strongly dependent on the strength of the initial compression wave at the tunnel entrance.

철도터널에서의 화재사고는 도로터널에 비하여 사고발생률은 낮지만, 일단 터널내에서 화재사고가 발생하면 대형 참사로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 특히, 고속철도터널은 일반철도터널에 비하여 선형 등의 제약조건으로 인한 터널의 장대화로 터널내 화재사고 발생시 대피승객의 이동거리가 증대될 수 있다. 터널내 화재사고 발생시 승객의 대피안전성을 증대시키고자 국토해양부에서는 "철도시설안전기준에 관한 규칙(2005년 10월 27일)"과 "철도시설 안전세부기준(2006년 9월 22일)"을 고시, 연장 1km 이상의 모든 신규터널에 대하여 안전성분석을 수행하여 방재계획을 수립토록 하였으며, 이후 모든 철도터널 설계시에 정량적 위험도 분석(Quantitative Risk Analysis)에 의한 안전성 분석을 수행하고 있다. 그러나, 정량적 위험도 분석에 필수적인 사고시나리오, 화재강도, 사고빈도 추출, 분기비 등에 대한 세부 기준이 아직 미비하여 철도터널방재설계에 어려움이 있어 기존 법규의 요구사항을 우선 만족시키고, 추가로 안전을 향상시키기는 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 호남고속철도 터널방재설계를 위한 정량적 위험도 분석 세부기준 수립 및 실행가능한 합리적인 수준의 터널방재설계 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

For the tunnel design of the first class on new Seoul-Chunchon railway, we investigated for train speeds to run through tunnels without ear-discomfort of passenger in cabin by application of numerical analysis. Also we analyzed the effect of the wind speed induced by train in tunnel that is very harmful to the workers on railroad and the effect of the air-pressure fluctuations which get the fatigue to the tunnel lining and the car body.

Theoretical study has been conducted to clarify pressure characteristics of KTX (Korea Train eXpress) in tunnel. The severe pressure change in tunnel may give rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. Critical tunnel lengths which are induced by x-t diagram analysis can be applied to the experimental results measured by using the running test with atmospheric pressure sensors and portable data acquisition system in previous study. In this study, the tunnels from 200m to 4000m in length have been chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. We found that there are similar patterns of external pressure change for each critical tunnel length. The critical tunnel lengths are governed by train speed, train length and sonic velocity. And, the patterns of pressure wave in tunnel are classified into eight groups.

최근 수도권광역급행철도(GTX)사업이 승인됨에 따라, 도심지 터널 내 열차주행에 따른 진동의 영향에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 논문은 암반층에 건설된 터널 내 열차주행으로 인한 지반진동을 측정하기 위해 실시된 현장측정시험의 과정 및 결과에 대해 기술한다. 약 200km/hr로 주행하는 KTX열차로 인해 발생된 지반의 진동이 터널 인근에 시공된 시추공에 삽입된 3축 시추공 진동 측정장치를 통해 측정되었다. 본 논문은 현재 상용화되어 있는 시추공 진동 측정장치의 한계에 대해서도 논의한다.

Korean trains pass many mountain areas, so the volume of structures like bridge and tunnel has large part of railway lines. Train speed-up naturally needs a straight line in railway, then structures are increasing, and the length of structure has more than 70% in Kyongbu high-speed railway. The stiffness of bridge and tunnel is higher than the soil in the roadbed in spite of dynamic difference in vibration and displacement. Differences in stiffness have more dynamic effects and increase the deformation and destruction in the track and roadbed. This influences passenger's comfort and the safety of operation, and it needs more track maintenance. This study selected tunnel with ballast track, tunnel with concrete track, and structure's approaches with short maintenance cycle in the roadbed and had track acceleration tests and track liner inspections using track master in the field. This study will measure periodically to structure's approaches which have very fast track irregularity and analyze dynamic differences and track irregularity near structure's approaches, so realize the cause of track irregularity of structure's approaches and use basic data for reasonably strengthening method of structure's approaches.
