터널 변상부 주변 진행성 예측에 관한 실험적 연구

Abstract

An estimation method of the fallout volume of a tunnel under construction is proposed based on an empirical method called bulking factor. For this, the main causes of the tunnel fallout are investigated and the scale of the fallout which is not accessible is considered. The calculated height of the fallout area is compared with borehole core data and the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated. Another experimental approach on the detection of a progressive cracking around the tunnel fallout is provided based on an acoustic emission method. From the field tests near the tunnel fallout, it is shown that additional progressive cracking of the reinforced area is not foreseen and the effectiveness of the reinforcement is proven.

본 연구에서는 시공중인 터널의 변상에 대한 원인을 규명하고 접근이 불가능한 일부 변상부에 대한 경험적 규모산정기법을 제시하였다. 부피팽창계수(bulking factor)를 이용한 변상부 규모예측 결과는 토모그래피용 시추공내 시추자료를 이용한 결과와 비교 분석하였으며 제시한 경험적 기법의 정확도를 확인하였다. 한편 변상부의 진행성 파괴 여부를 예측하기 위하여 미소파괴음(acoustic emission) 기법을 도입하여 계측을 수행하였으며 이 결과, 추가적인 진행성 파괴는 없는 것으로 파악되었다. 향후에는 미소파괴음 기법을 이용한 터널의 건전도 평가 등의 연구가 수행될 예정이다.
