Air pollution in subway tunnel is primarily caused from the wear of metallic materials. As undesirable substance, PM(Particulate Matter) can especially harm the health of passengers and workers as well as clog the main parts of rolling stock such as inverters. To improve the air quality in subway tunnel, SMRT(Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation) has developed anti-pollution devices such as Magnetic Dust Collector, Vacuum Cleaner For Rail Road and Particulate Removing Sprinkler Vehicle. Introducing these mechanical devices, this paper is mainly devoted to explaining the characteristics of collected dust according to the result of particle-size analysis and componential analysis.

With the wide application of urban subway tunnels, the foundation pits of new stations and existing subway tunnels are becoming increasingly close, and even zero-distance close-fitting construction has taken place. To optimize the construction support scheme, the existing tunnel's vertical displacement is theoretically analyzed using the two-stage analysis method to understand the action mechanism of the construction of zero-distance deep large foundation pits on both sides of the existing stations; a three-dimensional numerical calculation is also performed for further analysis. First, the additional stress field on the existing tunnel caused by the unloading of zero-distance foundation pits on both sides of the tunnel is derived based on the Mindlin stress solution of a semi-infinite elastic body under internal load. Then, considering the existing subway tunnel's joints, shear stiffness, and shear soil deformation effect, the tunnel is regarded as a Timoshenko beam placed on the Kerr foundation; a sixth-order differential control equation of the tunnel under the action of additional stress is subsequently established for solving the vertical displacement of the tunnel. These theoretical calculation results are then compared with the numerical simulation results and monitoring data. Finally, an optimized foundation pit support scheme is obtained considering the pit corner effect and external corner failure mode. The research shows a high consistency between the monitoring data,analytical and numerical solution, and the closer the tunnel is to the foundation pit, the more uplift deformation will occur. The internal corner of the foundation pit can restrain the deformation of the tunnel and the retaining structure, while the external corner can cause local stress concentration on the diaphragm wall. The proposed optimization scheme can effectively reduce construction costs while meeting the safety requirements of foundation pit support structures.

When the train travels quickly, in the center of city subway tunnel the strong wind blows caused by its piston effect, and the train wind blows while train enter the subway station with this effect. The train wind brings unpleasantness which passenger's hair wavering and the skirts of passengers flapping severely, and critical situations to the old and the weak people. It considers seriously like this, the research is meant to find extent of subway train wind influence on the passengers from the part Seoul subway stations.

In this study, the flow around a subway train running in an underground tunnel was numerically estimated. For the validation of the numerical results, the airflow velocity at a point underneath a subway train was measured using an ultrasonic anemometer. Then, the trajectories of particles generated at the contact points between the wheels and rails were numerically predicted. By considering the airflow velocity and particle trajectories, the space underneath the T-Car (trailer car) was expected to be appropriate for the room for the installation of a dust-removal system.

Based on the investigation results on the damages of some underground structures due to the severe Kobe Earthquake it concludes that the aseismicity of underground is far superior to that of aboveground structures. Therefore, at first, necessity to reconstruct strong cities especially by good use of underground space will be discussed. Then two non-circular shield-tunneling projects in Japan are discussed. The first is construction of the world's first shield driven double track subway tunnel of rectangular shape for the Kyoto Municipal Subway. This paper presents a report on the overall planning, the tests that were performed in the process of planning, and the results of driving. The second is the design of the Hirakata Tunnel, with three traffic lanes and shoulders on one side, which will be constructed as one of the tunnels for The New Meishin (Nagoya-Kobe) Expressways. This paper presents the feasibility study of the shield tunneling method, using the same design criteria as the non-circular, horseshoe section of mountain tunnel, to the equivalent section of the Hirakata Tunnel.

In this paper a design of a large shield Tunnel through weathered soil and weathered rock in 703 section of seoul subway line No.7 extension project is presented. The geological investigation results show that the projecet region consists mostly of weathered soil with some local weathered rock in the tunnel excavation level. A EPB shield TBM is selected as a optimal excavation machine for the large shield Tunnel considering the geological and site conditions. Also, the shield machine head and cutter for the large shield tunnel type are designed considering site geological conditions and average advance rate in similar projects.

A quantitative single particle analytical technique, denoted low-Z particle electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z particle EPMA), was applied to characterize particulate matters collected at two underground subway stations, Jegidong and Yangje stations, in Seoul, Korea. To clearly identify the source of the indoor aerosols in the subway stations, four sets of samples were collected at four different locations within the subway stations: in the tunnel; at the platform; near the ticket office; nearby outdoors. Aerosol samples collected on stages 2 and 3 ($D_p$: $10-2.5\;{\mu}m$ and $2.5-1.0\;{\mu}m$, respectively) in a 3-stage Dekati $PM_{10}$ impactor were investigated. Samples were collected during summertime in 2009. The major chemical species observed in the subway particle samples were Fe-containing, carbonaceous, and soil-derived particles, and secondary aerosols such as nitrates and sulfates. Among them, Fe-containing particles were the most popular. The tunnel samples contained 85-88% of Fe-containing particles, with the abundance of Fe-containing particles decreasing as the distances of sampling locations from the tunnel increased. The Fe-containing subway particles were generated mainly from mechanical wear and friction processes at rail-wheel-brake interfaces. Carbonaceous, soil-derived, and secondary nitrate and/or sulfate particles observed in the underground subway particles likely flowed in from the outdoor environment by human activities and the air-exchange between the subway system and the outdoors. In addition, since the platform screen doors (PSDs) limit air-mixing between the tunnel and the platform, samples collected at the platform at the Yangjae station (with PSDs) showed a marked decrease in the relative abundances of Fe-containing particles compared to the Jegidong station (without PSDs).

The person' spending time in underground s[aces within indoor environment show a tendency to increase every year, but in Korea, levels and sources of pollutant in underground spaces have not been well-characterized. Therefore, as part or a larger indoor environmental study, conducted at subway station in Seoul, nitrogen dioxide was measured using passive samplers in 16 subway stations, 2 tunnels and 70 workers of subway station. The mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in subway stations were $27.87{\pm}7.15$ ppb at station office, $35.76{\pm}8.35$ ppb at platform, $52.60{\pm}13.04$ ppb at outdoor, respectively, and the Indoor/Outdoor ratio were 0.49~0.93. The mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in tunnels were $44.91{\pm}4.67$ ppb in Chunggye-Nowon tunnel with a single track, $42.55{\pm}3.33$ ppb in Mokkol-Taenung tunnel with double track, respectively, and as a result of t-test, a single track levels were higher than double track levels(p<0.05). The mean personal exposure of the subject of station workers was $29.40{\pm}9.75$ ppb.
