Abstract

In the Republic of Korea, large-scale deep excavation construction is being conducted adjacent to structures owing to overpopulation in urban areas. Securing the safety of earth-retaining and underground structures is crucial for adjacent excavation work in urban areas. Accordingly, an automated measurement system is used to monitor the behaviors of subway tunnels and track structures; however, the utilization of its results is extremely low. Existing techniques evaluate the safety of track and tunnel structures based on the measured maximum values. This study introduces an evaluation technique for improving behavior monitoring in subway tunnels and track structures. A substantial amount of long-term measurement data on subway tunnels and track deformation was quantitatively evaluated using the Gaussian probability density function. In addition, the results from the same location where the tunnel convergence meter (TL) and track bed settlement (RM) sensors were located were compared. The comparison results revealed a difference in the vertical displacement of the tunnel and track structure owing to adjacent excavation work. A technique to analyze the continuous behavior of the tunnel was presented by numerically analyzing the tunnel measurement results as input data. In addition, they emphasized the need for simultaneous monitoring of tracks and tunnels.
