Abstract

Two-arch tunnels require minimal spacing between the 2 tunnels and thus occupy small amount of land compared to parallel tunnels. But it is rather expensive. The parallel tunnel is not as expensive, but it requires more land than 2-arch tunnels. This may cause a problem when there is a land shortage. The new design is to connect these two types of tunnels by another pair of parallel tunnels where the separation distance is gradually increasing. The applicability of this new design to the cases where rock condition is not even fair has to be verified since the width of the pillar between the connecting tunnels can be quite narrow. Therefore both two and three dimensional numerical analyses were conducted and pillar stability was examined for rock classes IV and V in two different ways. Results showed that this new design is still effective for poor rock conditions if central pillar is properly reinforced by tension bolts as long as overburden is less than five times of the tunnel diameter.

2-아치 터널은 터널의 간격이 매우 좁아서 병렬 터널에 비해 점유 면적이 작으나 경제적이지 못하다. 병렬 터널은 경제적이긴 하지만 2-아치 터널보다 점유 면적이 커서 용지의 매입이 어려운 경우에는 문제가 될 수 있다. 새로운 설계는 이 두 터널을 터널의 간격이 점차 증가하는 제3의 병렬터널로 연결시키는 것이다. 접속터널의 필라는 폭이 매우 좁을 수 있기 때문에 이 새로운 설계를 불량한 암반에 적용하려면 검증이 필요하다. 이에 4등급 및 5등급 암반에 대해 2차원 및 3차원 수치해석을 이용하여 2가지 방법으로 안정성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토 결과, 중앙 필라가 텐션 볼트로 적절히 보강된다면 터널 심도가 직경의 5배 이하인 경우에는 적용이 가능하였다.
