Abstract

In this paper, the modeling procedure of random field with an elasto-plastic finite element algorithm and probability of failure on closely-spaced tunnel were investigated. Local average subdivision (LAS) method which can generate discrete random variables fast and accurately as well as change the resolution in certain region was used. And correlated value allocating and weighted average method were suggested to implement geometrical characteristics of tunnel. After the probability of failure on the test problem was thoroughly investigated using random finite element method, the results were compared with the deterministic strength reduction factor method and single random variable method. Of particular importance in this work, is the conclusion that the probability of failure determined by simplified probabilistic analysis, in which spatial variability is ignored by assuming perfect correlation, can be estimated from the safety factor determined by strength reduction factor method. Also, single random variable method can lead to unconservative estimates of the probability of failure.

본 논문에서는 탄소성 유한요소해석 알고리즘과 연계한 확률장 생성기법과 근접터널 조건에서의 파괴확률을 분석하였다. 유한요소 해석을 위한 이산 확률장의 생성은 빠르고 정확하며 랜덤변수의 해상도를 자유롭게 조절할 수 있는 local average subdivision 기법을 사용하였으며 터널모델링을 위해 유한요소 크기와 형상 변화 등을 적절히 고려하여 지반물성치를 적용하는 방안을 제안하였다. 예제해석 조건에 대해 강도정수의 분산정도 및 공간상관길이에 따른 파괴확률을 파악하였으며 결정론적 안정성 해석결과 및 단일랜덤변수 해석결과와 비교하였다. 강도정수의 분산특성에 따라 강도감소기법에 의한 안전율과 단일랜덤변수 해석에 의한 파괴확률의 관계를 규명하였으며 확률유한요소 해석을 통해 공간상관길이가 파괴확률에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 강도감소기법에 의한 안전율과 분산계수로부터 단일랜덤변수에 의한 파괴확률을 도출할 수 있었으며 단일랜덤변수 해석결과가 근접터널의 실제적인 파괴확률을 과소평가 할 수 있음을 파악하였다.
