본 연구에서는 필러 폭과 모형재료의 강도가 서로 다른 등방성 및 이방성 암반 내 쌍굴터널의 모형실험을 통해 얻어진 터널의 변형과 필러부 균열이 발생한 이축압력 자료를 이용하여 터널 간 이격거리, 지반 강도, 등방성 및 이방성이 터널 안정성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 모형재료의 일축압축강도에 대한 균열개시압력의 백분율을 균열개시압력비율이라고 정의할 경우, 강도가 큰 지반에 시공되는 쌍굴터널은 강도가 작은 지반에 비하여 균열개시압력 값은 크지만, 균열개시압력비율은 작게 나타났다. 이에 비해 필러 폭이 큰 쌍굴터널은 필러 폭이 작은 경우에 비하여 균열개시압력 값이 클 뿐 아니라 균열개시압력비율도 크게 나타나, 필러 폭은 쌍굴터널 안정성에 영향을 미치는 주된 요소로 판단된다. 지반의 등방성과 이방성 여부도 터널 안정성에 영향을 미쳤는데, 이방성 모형은 등방성 모형에 비해 균열개시압력과 균열개시압력비율이 작을 뿐 아니라 필러부에 존재한 기존 불연속면을 따라 균열이 발생하였다.

Penetration rate (PR) and penetration depth (Pe) are crucial parameters for estimating the cost and time required in tunnel construction using tunnel boring machines (TBMs). This study focuses on investigating the impact of rock strength on PR and Pe through full-scale experiments. By conducting controlled tests on rock-like specimens, the study aims to understand the contributions of various ground parameters and machine-operating conditions to TBM excavation performance. An earth pressure balanced (EPB) TBM with a sectional diameter of 3.54 m was utilized in the experiments. The TBM excavated rocklike specimens with varying uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), while the thrust and cutterhead rotational speed were controlled. The results highlight the significance of the interplay between thrust, cutterhead speed, and rock strength (UCS) in determining Pe. In high UCS conditions exceeding 70 MPa, thrust plays a vital role in enhancing Pe as hard rock requires a greater thrust force for excavation. Conversely, in medium-to-low UCS conditions less than 50 MPa, thrust has a weak relationship with Pe, and Pe becomes directly proportional to the cutterhead rotational speed. Furthermore, a strong correlation was observed between Pe and cutterhead torque with a determination coefficient of 0.84. Based on these findings, a predictive model for Pe is proposed, incorporating thrust, TBM diameter, number of disc cutters, and UCS. This model offers a practical tool for estimating Pe in different excavation scenarios. The study presents unprecedented full-scale TBM excavation results, with well-controlled experiments, shedding light on the interplay between rock strength, TBM operational variables, and excavation performance. These insights are valuable for optimizing TBM excavation in grounds with varying strengths and operational conditions.

The tailings piled in abandoned mines are well-known potential sources of soil contamination. Hydrated limes were applied as cementing materials to solidify heavy metal contaminated tailings for the purpose of reducing their toxicity and migration rates. The optimum mixing ratio of tailings, hydrated lime, and water was determined through a preliminary test. The mixtures of mine tailings and hydrated lime solidified through pozzolanic reaction were tested for their durability against repeated freezing and thawing processes. After repeated freezing and thawing, the uniaxial compressive strengths of all the solidified mixture specimens decreased in comparison with those before test but still higher than $3.5kgf/cm^2$, the standard recommended for land reclamation solids by EPA(Environmental Protection Agency), which suggested that hydrated lime be a potential material to treat the abandoned mine tailings for the environmental purpose.

Fracture responses of Al2O3 tubes were investigated for various loading paths under combined tension/torsion. The fracture criterion did not depend on loading paths. Fracture angles agreed well with the maximum tensile stress criterion. As the loading condition approaches a shear dominant state, the tensile principal stress at fracture increases compared to the uniaxial fracture strength. By using the Weibull modulus obtained from tension and torsion tests, the Weibull statistical fracture strengths were compared with experimental data. This comparison suggests that fracture may occur at the surface of the specimen when tensile stress is dominant, but within the volume of the specimen when shear stress is dominant. The Weibull fracture strength increased as the loading conition approached a shear dominant state, but underestimated compared to experimental data. Finally, a new fracture criterion was proposed by including the effect of compressive principal stress. The proposed criterion agreed well with experimental data of Al2O3 tubes not only at combined tension/torsion but also at balanced biaxial tension.

터널구조물은 지하공간에 건설되며 육안으로 터널 배면상태를 확인하는 것이 불가능하기 때문에 유지 관리하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 재래식 터널의 주 지보재인 콘크리트 라이닝의 장기 내구성 및 성능저하 원인을 규명하기 위하여 준공된 지 약 40~70년이 경과된 7개의 철도 폐터널을 대상으로 현장조사 및 실내실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 조사 대상 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝은 준공년도에 관계없이 모든 구조물에서 다양한 형태의 균열이 조사되었으며 특히 시공이음부에 열화현상이 심각하게 나타났다. 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝 주변 지하 공간으로부터 유입되는 침출수의 유해이온은 콘크리트 열화에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 농도는 아니었으나 일정한 농도의 유해이온이 장기간 지속적으로 콘크리트 라이닝에 침식작용을 한 것으로 나타났다. 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝에서 측정한 비파괴 압축강도와 동일한 위치에서 채취한 코어시편을 대상으로 측정한 일축압축강도는 콘크리트 라이닝의 표면의 건전 여부에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내었다.

Man-made structure materials like concrete usually contain inclusions. These inclusions affect the mechanical properties of concrete. In this investigation, the influence of inclusion length and inclination angle on three-dimensional failure mechanism of concrete under uniaxial compression were performed using experimental test and numerical simulation. Approach of acoustic emission were jointly used to analyze the damage and fracture process. Besides, by combining the stress-strain behavior, quantitative determination of the thresholds of crack stress were done. concrete specimens with dimensions of 120 mm × 150 mm × 100 mm were provided. One and two holes filled by gypsum are incorporated in concrete samples. To build the inclusion, firstly cylinder steel tube was pre-inserting into the concrete and removing them after the initial hardening of the specimen. Secondly, the gypsum was poured into the holes. Tensile strengths of concrete and gypsum were 2.45 MPa and 1.5 MPa, respectively. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind ary from 0 to 90 with increases of 30. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Diameter of the hole was 20 mm. Entirely 20 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Simultaneous with experimental tests, numerical simulation (Particle flow code in two dimension) were carried out on the numerical models containing the inclusions. The numerical model were calibrated firstly by experimental outputs and then failure behavior of models containing inclusions have been investigated. The angle bertween inclusions and axial loadind vary from 0 to 90 with increases of 15. The length of inclusion vary from 25 mm to 100 mm with increases of 25 mm. Entirely 32 various models were examined under uniaxial test. Loading rate was 0.05 mm/sec. The results indicated that when inclusion has occupied 100% of sample thickness, two tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusion has occupied 75% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. When inclusions have occupied 50% and 25% of sample thickness, four tensile cracks originated from boundaries of sample and spread parallel to the loading direction until being integrated together. Also the inclusion was failed by one tensile crack. The compressive strength of samples decease with the decreases of the inclusions length, and inclusion angle had some effects on that. Failure of concrete is mostly due to the tensile crack. The behavior of crack, was affected by the inclusion length and inclusion number.

Experimental and numerical simulation were used to investigate the effects of angle and number of T shape non-persistent crack on the shear behaviour of crack's bridge area under uniaxial compressive test. concrete samples with dimension of 150 mm×150 mm×40 mm were prepared. Within the specimen, T shape non-persistent notches were provided. 16 different configuration systems were prepared for T shape non-persistent crack based on two and three cracks. In these configurations, the length of cracks were taken as 4 cm and 2 cm based on the cracks configuration systems. The angle of larger crack related to horizontal axis was 0°, 30°, 60° and 90°. Similar to cracks configuration systems in the experimental tests, 28 models with different T shape non-persistent crack angle were prepared in numerical model. The length of cracks were taken as 4 cm and 2 cm based on the cracks configuration systems. The angle of larger crack related to horizontal axis was 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. Tensile strength of concrete was 1 MPa. The axial load was applied to the model. Displacement loading rate was controlled to 0.005 mm/s. Results indicated that the failure process was significantly controled by the T shape non-persistent crack angle and crack number. The compressive strengths of the specimens were related to the fracture pattern and failure mechanism of the discontinuities. Furthermore, it was shown that the compressive behaviour of discontinuities is related to the number of the induced tensile cracks which are increased by increasing the crack number and crack angle. The strength of samples decreased by increasing the crack number. In addition, the failure pattern and failure strength are similar in both methods i.e. the experimental testing and the numerical simulation methods (PFC2D).

본 연구에서는 화학적 침식을 받는 환경에 놓인 터널 콘크리트 라이닝 구조물의 성능저하 원인을 분석하기 위하여 준공 후 70년 된 터널 구조물을 대상으로 외관조사, 비파괴검사, 코어시편의 압축강도, 탄산화, 투수성 평가 및 기기분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 대상 터널 구조물은 수차례에 걸쳐 보수 및 보강공사의 흔적이 존재하였으며 내부 콘크리트 라이닝의 심한 균열, 누수 및 탈락현상 등으로 성능저하가 크게 발생한 상태였다. 콘크리트 라이닝의 비파괴 압축강도추정과 코어시편에 의한 압축강도는 위치마다 차이는 있었으나 각각 $17.5{\sim}34.7MPa$ 및 $12.8{\sim}40.3MPa$로 나타났으며, 반발경도법의 경우 콘크리트 표면이 누수 및 반응생성물의 영향으로 반발경도가 작게 나타나는 경우가 있었다. 콘크리트 라이닝 코어시편을 이용하여 전위차에 의한 촉진 염소이온 확산실험법으로 투수성 시험결과 일부 코어 시편을 제외한 대부분 낮은(Low) 영역으로 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 터널 콘크리트 라이닝 코어시편을 대상으로 미세구조를 분석한 결과 터널 콘크리트 라이닝 주변 지하공간으로부터 유입된 황산염이온의 영향으로 반응물질이 생성되어 성능이 저하되었으며, ettringite와 thaumasite 등의 생성에 의한 결정압에 의하여 균열 및 박리현상이 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 고내구성 콘크리트 라이닝의 제조를 위한 재료적 대책수립 및 관련지침안의 제정이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
