  • In the current work, a series of three-dimensional finite element analyses have been conducted to investigate the behaviour of pre-existing single piles in response to adjacent tunnelling by considering the tunnel face pressures and the relative locations of the pile tips with respect to the tunnel. Via numerical modelling, the effect of the face pressures on the pile behaviour has been analysed. In addition, the analyses have concentrated on the ground settlements, the pile head settlements and the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. The settlements of the pile directly above the tunnel crown (with a vertical distance between the pile tip and the tunnel crown of 0.25D, where D is the tunnel diameter) with a face pressure of 50% of the in situ horizontal soil stress at the tunnel springline decreased by approximately 38% compared to the corresponding pile settlements with the minimum face pressure, namely, 25% of the in situ horizontal soil stress at the tunnel springline. Furthermore, the smaller the face pressure is, the larger the tunnelling-induced ground movements, the axial pile forces and the interface shear stresses. The ground settlements and the pile settlements were heavily affected by the face pressures and the positions of the pile tip with respect to the tunnel. When the piles were inside the tunnel influence zone, tensile forces were induced on piles, while compressive pile forces were expected to develop for piles that are outside the influence zone and on the boundary. In addition, the computed results have been compared with relevant previous studies that were reported in the literature. The behaviour of the piles that is triggered by adjacent tunnelling has been extensively examined and analysed by considering the several key features in substantial detail.

  • During the excavation of a tunnel portal, failure zones around the tunnel heading occur and also the ground supports itself. In a portal, its location and the ground characteristic have a great influence on the stability of the tunnel. Therefore, the failure mechanism of a tunnel heading and how to assess the stability of the tunnel are very important. In this paper, the numerical analyses were executed to evaluate the safety factor using strength reduction technique. The influence area of an excavation was also predicted through a case study in which no-support case and support case with the Pattern P-6 were compared in terms of the ground class and the shear strain.

  • The unloading effect from excavations can cause the deformation of adjacent tunnels, which may seriously influence the operation and safety of those tunnels. However, systematic studies of the deformation characteristics of tunnels located along side excavations are limited, and simplified methods to predict the influence of excavations on tunnels are also rare. In this study, the simulation capability of a finite element method (FEM) considering the small-strain characteristics of soil was verified using a case study. Then, a large number of FEM simulations examining the influence of excavations on adjacent tunnels were conducted. Based on the simulation results, the deformation characteristics of tunnels at different positions and under four deformation modes of the retaining structure were analyzed. The results indicate that the deformation mode of the retaining structure has a significant influence on the deformation of certain tunnels. When the deformation magnitudes of the retaining structures are the same, the influence degree of the excavation on the tunnel increased in this order: from cantilever type to convex type to composite type to kick-in type. In practical projects, the deformation mode of the retaining structure should be optimized according to the tunnel position, and kick-in deformation should be avoided. Furthermore, two methods to predict the influence of excavations on adjacent tunnels are proposed. Design charts, in terms of normalized tunnel deformation contours, can be used to quantitatively estimate the tunnel deformation. The design table of the excavation influence zones can be applied to determine which influence zone the tunnel is located in.

  • A series of three-dimensional (3D) parametric finite element analyses have been performed to study the influence of the relative locations of pile tips with regards to the tunnel position on the behaviour of single piles and pile groups to adjacent tunnelling in weathered soil. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, which considers the relative pile tip location with respect to the tunnel position, tunnelling-induced pile head settlements are larger than those computed from the Greenfield condition. However, when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, a reverse trend is obtained. When the pile tips are inside the influence zone, the tunnelling-induced tensile pile forces mobilised, but when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, compressive pile forces are induced because of tunnelling, depending on the shear stress transfer mechanism at the pile-soil interface. For piles connected to a cap, tensile and compressive forces are mobilised at the top of the centre and side piles, respectively. It has been shown that the increases in the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements have resulted in reductions of the apparent factor of safety up to approximately 43% when the pile tips are inside the influence zone, therefore severely affecting the serviceability of the piles. The pile behaviour, when considering the location of the pile tips with regards to the tunnel, has been analysed in great detail by taking the tunnelling-induced pile head settlements, axial pile forces, apparent factor of safety of the piles and shear transfer mechanism into account.

  • 최근 터널 건설은 종종 연약대층을 인접하여 계획하게 된다. 이러한 경우 터널 굴착은 안정화되어 있던 지반을 이완시키고 따라서 터널의 안정성에 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 안정성에 문제를 일으킬 수 있는 주요 영향인자들을 보면 연약대층이 지표면과 이루는 각도, 연약대층과 터널의 이격거리 등을 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 연약대층을 인접하여 건설되는 터널의 굴착과정에서 발생하는 변위량과 균열발생 양상을 조사함으로써, 연약대층이 지표면과 이루는 각도 및 연약대층과 터널의 이격거리가 터널의 역학적 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연약대층이 지표면과 이루는 각도 및 연약대층과 터널의 이격거리를 변화시켜 가면서 균질한 재료를 가지고 실내 축소 모형실험을 수행하고 이를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 연약대층이 지표면과 이루는 각도가 수평에서 수직으로 변화함에 따라 터널 주변의 변위 발생량이 증가하였다. 연약대층과 터널의 이격거리가 증가함에 따라 터널 주변의 변위 발생량이 감소하였고, 특정 이격거리 이상에서 안정화되었다. 이러한 발견들은 기존의 연구결과들을 정량적으로 검증하고 확장하는 것이라 판단된다. 최종적으로 연약대층이 지표면과 이루는 각도 변화에 따른 연약대층과 터널의 적정 이격거리를 정의하였다. 이러한 기초적인 연구는 연약대층을 인접하여 신설되는 터널 설계에 보다 합리적인 제안을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The finite difference software Flac3D is used to study the influence of tunnel burial depth, tunnel diameter and lateral pressure coefficient of original rock stress on the stress and deformation of tunnel surrounding rock under sandstone condition. The results show that the maximum shear stress, the radius of the plastic zone and the maximum displacement in the surrounding rock increase with the increase of the diameter of the tunnel. When the lateral pressure coefficient is 1, it is most favorable for surrounding rock and lining structure, with the increase or decrease of lateral pressure coefficient, the maximum principal stress, surrounding displacement and plastic zone range of surrounding rock and lining show a sharp increase trend, the plastic zone on the lining increases with the increase of buried depth.

  • 석회암 지역에서 불규칙하게 발견되고 있는 공동의 규모와 위치를 표준화하여 터널에 미치는 영향을 수치해석적으로 접근하여 영향권을 설정하였다. 공동의 불규칙한 모서리 부분의 응력집중 문제는 해석의 한계때문에 타원형으로 모델링 되었다. 공동의 위치가 터널의 천단부와 하부 모서리에 있는 경우 가장 큰 영향을 나타났다. 굴착되는 터널크기의 공동이 1D (터널직경)정도 이격되어 있으면 안정성에는 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 터널과 공동의 이격거리가 0.25D (터널직경) 이내의 경우에는 변위 및 지보재에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

  • 고준위폐기물의 처분개념 실증을 위해 원자력연구소부지 내에 지하연구시설을 건설하는 경우, 지표면지형의 변화, 두터운 풍화대의 존재가 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 부지 특성과 터널의 경사 및 터별의 크기에 따른 영향 분석과 함께 수백 m의 터널을 단계적으로 굴착하는데 따른 영향을 FLAC3D를 이용한 3차원 구조해석을 통해 분석하였다. 해석결과 굴착을 단계적으로 실시하는데 따르는 응력이나 변위분포에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 지하연구시설의 부근에서는 응력재분포에 의한 소성영역의 발생은 없기 때문이다. 최대 응력으은 5 ㎫로 압축응력이 작용할 것으로 예상된다. 최대응력은 터별의 끝 부분에서 20 m 전방으로 터별의 벽면에서 발생할 것으로 예상되며 터널 경사각이나 풍화대의 크기, 터널의 크기변화에 따른 터널에서의 응력과 변위분포 변화는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 진입터널과 연구모듈의 교차지점에 대한 모델링 결과 응력비 K가 3인 경우 구조적으로 가장 취약한 지점에서의 안전계수가 3이상으로 나타난다. 본 연구를 통해 원자력연구소 내 예상 부지에 소규모 지하연구시설을 구조적으로 안전하게 건설하는 것이 가능함을 보일 수 있었다.

  • Several possibilities on the stability analysis of the railroad tunnels passing through the abandoned mining area are considered in this paper. Previous works on the influence zone due to cavities are investigated to study the effect of the safety deterioration near the cavities which are normally unknown to the engineers. Additional works on the numerical analysis of the influential zone are also performed in 3D space. The praximity of railroad tunnel and unexpected cavities is critical to influence the stability of railroad tunnel under construction. Futhermore, the study on the influence of underground condition like joint and faults should be significantly controlled under both design and construction stage.
