Abstract

The precise inspection for safety and diagnosis (PISD) of tunnel has been conducted by the special act on safety control of public structures. However, the present assessment for the segmental lining of TBM tunnel has limitation such as: NDTs for integrity, segmental configuration for field inspection, and consideration for jacking system. Even if the number of TBM tunnel is less than 1% of enrolled facility in FMS, more attention to maintenance should be necessary due to its usage such as multi-use facility and national important facility. Compared to NATM tunnel, excavated by drilling and blasting and then installed lining by cast-in-place within 6~12 m, TBM tunnel is cut out ground by disk and cutter-bit and then assembled 7 pieces of precast segment, 1.2~1.4 m wide. Different features of design, construction, and maintenance should be considered to be more exact evaluation of TBM tunnel. The characteristics of defect is categorized and analyzed with 11 operational TBM tunnels in domestic subway. To be more comprehend various particular defects, foreign studies have been also adapted. Crack and leakage are categorized in 7 patterns. Breakage/spalling and corrosion are also grouped into 3 patterns. Patterned defects or damages are fed back in design, construction, and are useful guidelines for maintenance stage in future.

시설물안전법에 의한 터널의 정밀안전진단은 세부지침에 의거하여 수행되나, 현재의 TBM터널 세그먼트라이닝 평가체계에는 유압잭 사용의 장비특성, 세그먼트를 고려한 외관조사, 건전도를 위한 비파괴 시험방법 등의 결함특성을 반영하지 못하는 한계를 지닌다. 시설물정보관리시스템에 등재된 TBM터널은 1% 미만이지만 다중이용시설 및 국가 중요시설의 사용을 감안하여 많은 유지관리가 필요하다. 발파로 굴착하며 터널 축을 따라 6~12 m의 라이닝을 연속하여 현장 타설하는 NATM터널과 비교하여 TBM터널은 디스크커터와 커터비트가 달린 원형의 회전판을 회전하여 굴진하며 공장 제작된 폭 1.2~1.4 m 세그먼트를 조립하여 구조체를 형성한다. TBM터널에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해서는 설계, 시공, 운용단계의 특징이 고려되어야 한다. 11개 구간에서 운용중인 국내 지하철 TBM터널의 결함특성을 유형별로 분석하였으며 TBM터널 세그먼트라이닝의 공통된 결함 특성 이외에 특수한 결함에 대해서는 해외 논문 연구내용을 발췌하여 이해를 돕고자 하였다. 균열과 누수는 위치 및 형상에 따라 7가지 유형으로 구분하였으며, 박락 및 파손과 부식에 대해서는 3가지 유형으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 향후 설계, 시공의 피드백과 유지관리에 도움이 되고자 한다.
