석분을 이용한 터널 뒤채움용 경량기포 충전재의 개발과 현장적용에 대한 연구

A Study on Development of Lightweight Foam Filling Material for the Voids behind Tunnel Liner using Stone-dust and Application to the Old Tunnel

국내 재래식 터널의 대부분에 존재하는 배면공동은 라이닝의 균열, 누수, 응력집중 등을 유발하여 터널 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 배면공동의 보강은 공동을 뒤채움하는 방법이 일반적으로 적용되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 현재 산업폐기물로 취급되어 버려지고 있는 석분토를 이용하여 터널 뒤채움용 경량기포 충전재를 개발하였고, 실내물성시험과 노후터널에 대한 현장적용시험을 수행하여 개발 충전재의 적용성 평가를 실시하였다.

The most tunnel damage such as cracks or leakage which exist in tunnel lining commonly, is caused by the voids where exist behind the tunnel lining, through the tunnel safety inspections. These voids were analysed to affect to a stability of a running-tunnel seriously. The aim of this paper is to develope the lightweight foam concrete for tunnel backfilling material using stone-dust of cake state and to apply the lightweight foam concrete developed to the old tunnel. This paper shows the basic properties of lightweight foam concrete mixed with stone-dust including flow rate, unit volume weight, absorption rate and compressive strength. In addition, according to the designed compound ratio, the lightweight foam concrete was applied to the ASSM tunnel for an application assessment. The engineering application of the lightweight foam concrete as the old tunnel's backfilling material was confirmed in this assessment.
