Abstract

This paper concerns the effect of orientation and geometric characteristics of a fracture zone on the tunnel behavior using a numerical investigation. A parametric study was executed on a number of drill and blast tunnelling cases representing different fracture and tunnelling conditions using two and three dimensional finite element analyses. The variables considered include the strike and dip angle of fracture zone relative to the longitudinal tunnel axis, the width and the clearance of the fracture zone, the tunnel depth, and the initial lateral stress coefficient. The results of the analyses were examined in terms of the tunnel deformation including crown settlement, convergence, and invert heave as well as shotcrete lining stresses. The results indicate that the tunnel deformation as well as the shotcrete lining stress are strongly influenced by the orientation of the fracture zone, and that such a trend becomes more pronounced for tunnels with greater depths.

본 연구에서는 파쇄대의 공간적 분포 특성이 터널의 거동에 미치는 영향에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 이를 위해 발파굴착 공법이 적용되는 터널을 대상으로 다양한 파쇄대 조건을 도출하고 이에 대한 2차원 및 3차원 해석을 수행하여 파쇄대의 주향 및 경사, 터널과의 이격거리, 토피고, 측압계수 등에 대한 매개변수 연구를 실시하였다. 해석결과를 토대로 매개변수 조건에 대한 터널 변위 및 지보재 부재력의 변화경향을 고찰하였으며 그 결과 파쇄대의 경사각 및 주향에 따라 터널의 변위 및 지보재 부재력에서 큰 차이를 보였으며 전반적으로 터널의 심도가 깊어질수록 그리고 초기측압계수가 클수록 파쇄대의 공간적 분포 특성에 따른 터널 거동의 차이가 더 심화되는 것으로 나타나 대심도 터널의 경우가 저심도 터널에 비해 파쇄대의 영향이 가중될 수 있는 것으로 검토되었다.
