Abstract

In the current work, a series of three-dimensional (3D) numerical modelling has been performed in order to study the effects of the relative locations of tunnels with respect to the position of pile tips which governs the behaviour of pre-existing, adjacent single piles. In the numerical analyses, several governing factors, such as tunnelling-induced pile head settlements, relative displacements, volume losses, axial pile forces, interface shear stresses and apparent factors of safety have been analysed. When the pile tips are inside the tunnelling influence zone, of which the pile tip location is considered with respect to the tunnel position, tunnelling-induced pile head settlements are larger than the ground surface settlements, resulting in tunnelling-induced tensile pile forces. On the contrary, when the pile tips are outside the influence zone, compressive pile forces associated with downward shear stresses at the upper part of the piles are developed. Based on computed load and displacement relation of the pile, the apparent factors of safety of the piles inside the tunnelling influence zone have been reduced by 36% in average. The shear transfer mechanism based on the relative tunnel locations has been analysed in great detail by considering tunnelling-induced pile forces, interface shear stresses and the apparent factors of safety.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하여 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝의 거동변화를 지배하는 말뚝선단에 대한 터널의 상대 위치를 고려하여 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과를 순수하게 터널굴착으로 발생한(Tunnelling-induced) 말뚝두부의 침하, 상대변위, 체적손실률(Volume loss), 말뚝의 축력, 전단응력 그리고 겉보기안전율 등을 분석하였다. 터널과 말뚝선단의 상대위치를 고려했을 때 말뚝선단이 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하 영향권 내부에 존재하는 경우 Tunnelling-induced 말뚝두부의 침하는 지표면의 침하보다 크게 나타났으며, 이는 말뚝에 Tunnelling-induced 인장력을 발생시켰다. 반대로 말뚝선단이 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하 영향권 외부에 존재할 경우, 말뚝상부에서 유발된 하향의 전단응력으로 인해 말뚝에는 Tunnelling-induced 압축력이 작용하였다. 수치해석을 통해 분석된 하중-변위 관계를 이용하여 겉보기안전율을 분석한 결과 말뚝선단이 터널굴착으로 인한 지반침하 영향권 내부에 존재할 경우 말뚝의 겉보기안전율은 평균 약 36% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 터널의 상대위치에 따른 전단응력전이 매커니즘을 Tunnelling-induced 말뚝축력, 전단응력과 말뚝의 겉보기안전율을 고려하여 심도 있게 고찰하였다.
