Abstract

This study investigated the occurrences, causes, and mitigation of the recent ground subsidence and underground cavity generation events in Korea. Two main causes of ground subsidence are (1) the soil erosion by seepage during tunneling and earth excavation and (2) the damage of underground pipes. The main cause of the soil erosion during tunneling was the uncontrolled groundwater flow. Especially, when excavating soft grounds using a tunnel boring machine (TBM), the ground near TBM operation halt points were found to be the most vulnerable to failure. The damage of underground pipes was mainly caused by poor construction, material deterioration, and differential settlement in soft soils. The ground subsidence during tunneling and earth excavation can be managed by monitoring the outflow of groundwater and eroded soils in construction sites. It is expected that the ground subsidence by the underground pipe damage can be managed or mitigated by life cycle analysis and maintenance of the buried pipes, and by controlling the earth pressure distribution or increasing the bearing capacity at the upper ground of the buried pipes.

최근 국내 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 지반함몰 현상의 원인, 현황, 대책에 대하여 지반공학적인 접근 방법으로 조사하였다. 국내 발생된 지반함몰은 대부분 터널 굴착 공사와 지중매설관의 손상에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 용산역과 석촌 지하차도 지반함몰 사례와 같이, 굴착 공사 중 지반함몰은 지하수와 토사의 과다 유출이 주된 원인으로 나타났다. 특히, 충적층과 같은 연약지반에서의 기계식 굴착 시, TBM 굴착이 멈춘 지점에서 지반함몰 위험이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 서울시에서 발생된 지중매설관 손상으로 인한 지반함몰 사고를 종합하였을 때, 시공 시의 부주의, 노후화, 연약지반에서의 관의 부등침하 등이 지반함몰의 원인으로 나타났다. 터널 굴착 공사에 의한 지반함몰은 공사 시 발생되는 지하수, 토사의 이동에 대한 모니터링을 통해 대비할 수 있다. 지중매설관 손상으로 인한 지반함몰은 지중매설관의 생애주기 분석 및 유지관리 혹은 관 상부의 토압 분산 및 토압 지지력 증대를 통하여 대비할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
