In recent years a number of catastrophic tunnel fires, the Euro tunnel, the Mont Blanc tunnel, the Tauem tunnel and the Gotthard tunnel, have occurred and inflicted serious damages to European countries. If a fire occurs in shield tunnels, the reinforced concrete segment linings playing as an important structural member is expected to damage severely and finally can be caused the collapse of tunnel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of concrete segment lining under heat exposure and to obtain information to assist a new technical approach to fighting fires in tunnels. In order to evaluate the fire-resistance performance of concrete segment by adding Polypropylene fibers, fire tests using the RABT heat-load curve is carried out. The temperature rise of this curve is very rapid up to $1200^{\circ}C$ within 5 minutes, and duration time of the $1200^{\circ}C$ exposure is 55 minutes. From the fire test, it was found that the explosive spalling was rapidly reduced by adding polypropylene fibers and this method is considered as an effective fireproof material to upgrade fire safety in tunnels economically.

지하철 본선터널에서 고온 연기시험을 수행하였다. 고온의 화재연기를 모사하기 위하여 약 1.0MW의 알콜트레이 및 연기발생장치를 이용하였다. 화재발생후 9분 후에 터널내에 설치된 팬이 순차적으로 작동하여 화재 연기가 제어되는지를 확인하였다. 터널내의 주요 위치에서의 풍속, 풍향, 온도 및 연기농도 등을 측정하여 이를 화재안전 관점에서 분석하였다. 화재 인근의 천장부분의 풍속 측정값으로 연기의 속도를 구하였으며, 위치별 제연기류가 형성되는 시간이 상이한 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 계측된 풍속분포를 이용하여 지하철 본선터널 제연설비 성능 평가를 위한 수치해석의 경계값 및 비교결과로 활용될 것이다.

In the cavitation tunnel, the first corner playes role for the flow direction to execute 90-degree turn. So, energy loss is serious, and the cavitation phenomena well occur in the guide vane surface. In this paper, the flow in the first corner was numerically calculated. From the calculation result, cavitation phenomena mainly occurred in the suction side of the last guide vane and vicinity that vane and tunnel wall adjoin each other. And bubbles occurred from all guide vanes if the flow velocity in the test section reaches the any critical value. We could analogize with our experience in the water tunnel that bubbles that occurred in time not vanish, and become miniature in the flow although the pressure recover. So, they circulate with flow in the tunnel, and come into view in the test section. Therefore, first corner must be designed for bubbles not to appear in the test section according to the flow condition like velocity and pressure demanded by the experiment. We analyzed flow in case that the first elbow configuration was redesigned and some of the existing guides vanes were eliminated. And we presented that first elbow can be easely designed for the improvement of tunnel performance through the computational analysis.

터널화재 시 위험을 경감시키기 위해 설치하는 물분무설비의 성능을 실대 시험을 통해 확인하였다. A급 화재, Pool 화재 및 차량화재시 물분무노즐은 뜨거운 연기의 온도를 낮추는데 효과가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 터널에 기류가 존재하는 경우에도 냉각효과가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과를 통해 물분무설비는 터널화재 시 기류온도를 낮춤으로써 fire jump를 방지하고, 주위의 시설물을 보호할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 터널 및 지하공간의 기계화 시공에 있어서 굴진성능을 예측하는 모델링 기법을 고찰하였다. 첫 번째로 세계적으로 가장 잘 알려져 있는 두 가지 모델, 즉 이론적 접근을 기본으로 하고 있는 CSM 모델과 경험적 접근을 기본으로 하고 있는 NTH 모델의 비교를 수행하였다. 두 번째로는, 특별히 Constant Cross Section 커터를 사용하는 경우의 암석 굴삭 원리를 알아보고, 이 원리를 기본으로 하는 이론적 모델을 전개하여 암석특성과 커터 제원만으로 유도되는 절삭력을 구하는 관계식을 고찰하였다. 세 번째로는 기계화 시공에 있어서 굴진성능을 예측하기 위한 일반적인 모델링 기법을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 미국 Colorado School of Mines의 Earth Mechanics Institute(EMI)에서 개발한 CSM 컴퓨터 모델을 소개하고, 이 모델을 TBM 설계에 적용한 사례를 제시하였다.

This paper concerns a numerical investigation on the effect of construction sequence on three-arch (3-Arch) tunnel behavior. A three-arch tunnel section adopted in a railway tunnel construction site was considered in this study. A calibrated 3D finite element model was used to conduct a parametric study on a variety of construction scenarios. The results of analyses were examined in terms of tunnel and ground surface settlements, shotcrete lining stresses, loads and stresses developed in center column in relation to the tunnel construction sequence. In particular, the effect of the side tunnel construction sequence on the structural performance of the center structure was fully examined. The results indicated that the load, thus stress, in the center structure can be smaller when excavating two side tunnels from opposite direction than excavating in the same direction. Also revealed was that no face lagging distance between the two side tunnels impose less ground load to the center structure. Fundamental governing mechanism of three-arch tunnel behavior is also discussed based on the results.

This study aims to evaluate the natural lighting performance in the sound barrier tunnel. Therefore, to evaluate the daylighting performance, the combinations of 3 tunnel roof types which are flat-roof-type(type A), slope-roof-type(type B), arch-roof-type(type C) and 3 window types which are side-window-type(type 1), one-window-roof type(type 2), two-window-roof type(type 3) are evaluated by experimenting small scaled models. In this 9 cases of experiment, illuminance levels of each case are analyzed and evaluated. The conclusion of this study is that slope-roof-type(B) and arch-roof-type(C) is preferable to flat-roof-type(A) and one-window-roof-type(B) and two-window-roof-type(C) is preferable to side-window-type(A) for daylighting in the sound barrier tunnel.

Tunnel oxide of non-volatile memory (NVM) devices would be very difficult to downscale if ten-year data retention were still needed. This requirement limits further improvement of device performance in terms of programming speed and operating voltages. Consequently, for low-power applications with Fowler-Nordheim programming such as NAND, program and erase voltages are essentially sustained at unacceptably high levels. A promising solution for tunnel oxide scaling is tunnel barrier engineering (TBE), which uses multiple dielectric stacks to enhance field-sensitivity. This allows for shorter writing/erasing times and/or lower operating voltages than single $SiO_2$ tunnel oxide without altering the ten-year data retention constraint. In this paper, two approaches for tunnel barrier engineering are compared: the crested barrier and variable oxide thickness. Key results of TBE and its applications for NVM are also addressed.

For Lift-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), it is difficult to evaluate the performance through the scale-model wind tunnel tests, because of the scale effect relating to Reynolds number. However, it is beneficial to figure out the critical value of Reynolds number or minimum size of the Lift-type VAWT, when designing this type of micro wind turbine. Therefore, in this study, the performance of several scale-models of Lift-type VAWT (Reynolds number : $1.5{\times}10^4$ to $4.6{\times}10^4$) was investigated. As a result, the Reynolds number effect depends on the blade chord rather than the inlet velocity. In addition, there was a transition point of the Reynolds number to change the dominant driving force from Drag to Lift.

This paper deals with the design, wind tunnel testing, and performance analysis of small wind turbines targeting low-power applications. Three different small-size blade designs in terms of size, shape, and twisting angle are considered and tested. We conduct wind tunnel tests while measuring the angular speed of the rotating blades, the generated voltage, and the current under varying resistive loading and air flow conditions. An electromechanical model is also used to predict the measured voltage and power and verify their consistency and repeatability. The measurements are found in qualitative agreement with those reported in previously-published experimental works. We present a novel methodology to estimate the mechanical torque applied to the wind turbine without the deployment of a torque measuring device. This method can be used to determine the power coefficient at a given air speed, which constitutes an important performance indicator of wind turbines. The wind tunnel tests revealed the capability of the developed wind turbines to deliver more than 1225 mW when subject to an air flow with a speed of 7 m/s. The power coefficient is found ranging between 26% and 32%. This demonstrates the aerodynamic capability of the designed blades to extract power from the wind.
