Abstract

Design analysis for underground spaces requires evaluating stability related to heading collapses. A failure mode is one of the critical factors in the conventional methods of stability evaluation. Identification of failure modes is, therefore, essential in securing safe construction. In this study failure modes at the tunnel heading in cohesionless soils are investigated using physical model tests for various tunnel depths and ground surface inclinations. Test results showed that the effect of depth and the inclination of ground surface on a failure mode are of significance. It is identified that, with an increase in depth, failure modes become localized in a region close to tunnel face. It is also known that an increase in the inclination of ground surface results in inclined and wide failure modes. Numerical simulation of laboratory tests was performed, and shown that the numerical analysis is useful in identifying the heading failure modes, particularly for large underground spaces.

지하공간의 설계는 막장파괴와 관련한 안정성에 대한 평가를 필요로 한다. 막장파괴모드는 전통적인 안정성 평가법에서 중요하게 다루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 점착력이 없는 토사지반에 대한 모형실험을 실시하여 토피고와 지반경사의 변화에 따른 터널막장의 종방향 파괴모드를 파악하고자 하였다. 모형실험은, 대형지하공간의 폭원이 충분히 크다는 가정 하에 평면변형조건의 터널 축방향 굴착면 모델에 대하여 실시되었다. 실험결과 토피고와 지반경사는 파괴모드에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 토피고가 증가할수록 지반의 파괴영역이 감소하여 국부 전단 파괴의 형태를 보였다. 또, 지반경사가 증가할수록 굴착면과 사면방향으로 확대되는 유형의 파괴모드를 확인할 수 있었다. 실험모델을 수치해석 모델로 재현하는 해석을 실시하였고, 이로부터 수치해석법을 통해서도 굴착면의 파괴모드의 추정이 가능함을 보였다.
