Abstract

The earth pressure acting on underground structure was measured by application of the instrumentation system in the subway construction site constructed by the method of cut-and-cover tunnel. The measured earth pressure was compared with the earth pressure obtained from the existed theoretical equation, and the actual earth pressure diagram acting on the underground structure was investigated. As a result of investigation, the vertical earth pressure is mainly affected by the embankment height, and the lateral earth pressure is significantly affected by whether the existence of earth retaining structures or not. The measured vertical earth pressure is very similar to the theoretical earth pressure proposed by Bierbaumer. The measured lateral earth pressure is closed to the active earth pressure proposed by Rankine rather than the earth pressure at rest. The coefficient of earth pressure in soil deposit layer is about 0.35, and the coefficient in soft rock deposit layer is about 0.21. For design and construction the underground structures, therefore, it is reasonable estimation that the lateral earth pressure acting on structures installed in soil deposit layers is an average value between active earth pressure and earth pressure at rest. In rock deposit layers, the lateral earth pressure acting on structure is an active earth pressure only.

개착식 터널공법으로 시공된 지하철 건설현장을 대상으로 각종 계측시스템을 적용하여 지하 박스구조물에 작용하는 토압을 측정하였다. 이를 토대로 기존 이론식으로 산정된 측방토압과 현장에서 계측된 실측토압을 비교 검토하고, 실제 지하구조물에 작용하는 토압분포를 조사하였다. 조사결과에 의하면 지하 박스구조물에 작용하는 연직토압은 주로 성토고에 큰 영향을 받고 있으며, 측방토압은 흙막이구조물(버팀보, 흙막이벽)의 존치여부에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 현장에서 측정된 지하 박스구조물 상단에 작용하는 연직토압은 Bierbaumer의 이론토압에 가장 근사하게 나타나고 있으며, 측방토압은 정지토압보다 주동토압에 가깝게 작용하고 있다. 그리고, 토압계수는 토사층의 경우 평균 0.35정도로 나타났으며 연암층의 경우 평균 0.21정도로 토사층에서 크게 나타나고 있다. 따라서, 지하 박스구조물이 토사층에 설치되는 경우, 지하 박스구조물에 작용하는 측방토압은 정지토압보다는 주동토압과 정지토압의 평균치를, 암반층에 설치되는 경우에는 주동토압을 사용하는 것이 보다 합리적이라고 판단된다.
