Abstract

In this study, we carried out an experimental shield TBM excavation model test using a down-scale device in soft clay, to understand tunnel-face stability properties in relation to changes in slurry pressure. We performed five tests according to tunnel depth (0.5D, 0.75D, 1.0D, 1.25D, 1.5D), and compared theoretical tunnel-face pressure with model test results. The range in theoretical tunnel-face slurry pressure ($P_{min}{\leq}P_{slurry\;pressure}{\leq}P_{max}$), which is determined by earth pressure and water level, was very similar to the model test result. This result was due to the more isotropic condition of the soft clay ground, than of rocky ground.

본 논문은 연약지반 쉴드 TBM 축소 모형실험을 통하여 슬러리에 의해 가해지는 막장 지보압의 변화에 따른 터널 막장면 안정성 변화 양상을 파악하고자 토피고에 따라 0.5D, 0.75D, 1.0D, 1.25D, 1.5D의 총 5개 Case에 대하여 모형실험을 수행하였으며, 이론적인 터널 막장면 지보압 및 모형실험으로 선정된 적정 지보압 값을 상호 비교하였다. 암반 쉴드 TBM과 달리 연약지반 쉴드 TBM의 경우 균질한 지반조건임에 따라 모형실험으로부터 산정된 적정 지보압이 터널 심도에 따른 막장면 토압 및 수압으로부터 이론적으로 산정된 막장압 범위($P_{min}{\leq}P_{slurry\;pressure}{\leq}P_{max}$)와 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다.
