As the distribution of vehicles and logistics increases due to the development of human civilization and the increase in population, various roads play an important role in domestic traffic and transportation. However, the recent emergence of large cities and new cities is causing traffic problems, and the increase in roads is inevitable for the smooth distribution of vehicles and logistics. In Korea, mountainous regions occupy 70% of the country, so tunnels are used to open roads. Without this, it is difficult to open the road. Currently, there are 3,720tunnels (as of December 31, 2023) installed on high-speed national highways, general national highways, and local roads nationwide, with a length of 2.499 and increasing every year. Accordingly, fire accidents in tunnels will also increase, and due to the nature of tunnel fire accidents, there is a high probability that they will escalate into large-scale disasters, resulting in casualties and property damage, as well as significant social losses due to the disruption of logistics transportation, etc. As the possibility of potential hazards is increasing, the purpose of this study is to build a safe and efficient tunnel system by optimizing maintenance and management for fire and disaster accidents in tunnels.

In recent years the tunnel construction is increasing worldwide because of development of science and technology and increasing of transportation demand. Tunnels are complex structures normally rectangular cross section or semicircular and constructed to connect between different sections of roads. Because of the importance, the construction and extension of road tunnels are also continuously increasing along with the development. According to data from the Korea Expressway Corporation, the number of road tunnels, which was 1,332 in 2010, increased rapidly by about 2.1 times over 10 years to a total of 2,742 in 2020. The extension of road tunnels is also on the trend of increasing, with a total of 945 km in 2010 reaching 2,157 km in 2020. The benefits of a double-deck tunnel are emphasized, particularly in terms of construction cost and convenience. This tunnel design incorporates a central slab, dividing the tunnel into upper and lower spaces. The versatility of a double-decker tunnel is evident in its ability to accommodate various uses for both levels. For instance, the upper level can function as vehicle roads, while the lower level can be designated for train tracks. In this study, the effect of RWS and modified hydrocarbon fire curve was applied to the concrete tunnel bracket through simulation to analyze the temperature after the fire occurrence.

This study attempted to analyze the comparative advantage in terms of disaster safety costs in verifying the effectiveness and economic feasibility of the high-performance water-bulwark system in the pole tunnel, which was recently promoted as a part of the acceleration of vehicles. The tunnel to be analyzed was divided into a short tunnel(Anyang, Cheonggye) and a long tunnel(Suraksan, Sapaesan). As a result, it was analyzed that 25% of the improvement effect would occur if one lane was secured by applying the Water-Bulwark System. It was analyzed that this is because the time value cost, which accounts for a large proportion of the traffic congestion cost of short tunnels and pole tunnels, differs depending on the congestion time and traffic volume, not the length of the tunnel.

PURPOSES : When fire event occurs in tunnel the reinforced concrete is exposed to very high temperature at a very short time period. This study investigates the tensile behavior of steel rebar that experienced high temperature. METHODS : The steel rebar was exposed to 200, 400, 600, and 800℃ following the ISO 834 temperature-time fire curve. Hightemperature- exposed steel rebars were tested using the UTM for their yielding and tensile strengths, and elongation rate. RESULTS : Up to an exposure temperature of 600℃, the tensile properties of the rebar did not vary considerably. However, at 800℃ (which corresponds to a temperature rise time of approximately 22 min), the rebar lost its yielding and tensile strength by approximately 27 and 13%, respectively, compared to the control specimen. Further, the elongation rate increased after exposure to 600℃. The above fundamental tensile test results can be a good reference for future guidelines in the repair manual for tunnels after severe fire events. CONCLUSIONS : When steel rebar experiences high temperatures of 800℃, the yield strength of the rebar reduces approximately 27%. This strength reduction can cause severe structural damage to tunnels that use reinforced concrete as the primary structural elements.

This paper attempted to analyze the correlation between the risk image of the evacuees in the tunnel and the variables that affect the evacuation behavior due to the closed feeling. As to whether there is a difference in the level of recognizing the tunnel risk image according to the distribution of jobs, the null hypothesis was rejected at the significance probability of 0.002, so it can be said that the level of recognition of the tunnel risk image varies depending on the job group. In the distribution difference between gender and tunnel risk image recognition level, the significance probability was 0.012, indicating that the null hypothesis was rejected, indicating that the tunnel risk recognition distribution according to gender was different. As a result of analyzing the distribution difference between the tunnel's closed feeling and the tunnel risk perception level, the significance probability was 0.001, and the null hypothesis was rejected, indicating that there was a difference in the tunnel risk image level.

In general, fire accidents in tunnels are sufficiently preventable, but the damage is very large. Therefore, the number of highway traffic accidents is high in spring when spring fatigue occurs and the traffic volume for maple travel increases. In particular, when analyzing the cause of death of people killed in fire accidents in tunnels, it is analyzed that most of them are suffocated by smoke. Therefore, in this study, it can be said that it is meaningful to make a social contribution to reduce the number of traffic accident deaths by establishing an efficient fire suppression system for fire accidents in tunnels.

Recently, design and construction of street tunnels tend to focus on cost reduction and preservation of nature. Accordingly, research is actively being carried out to quickly detect fires when they occur in tunnels. In this study, a fire monitoring system that can accurately detect the location of fires in real time using shape memory alloy and optical cables was developed.

최근 도로터널은 비용절감 및 자연보호를 위하여 설계 및 시공이 증가되고 있는 추세이며, 이 때문에 반밀폐 구조인 터널내의 화재에 대비하여 화재 발생 시 신속히 감지할 수 있는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그 중에서도 광섬유 센서를 이용한 화재 감지법은 대역폭이 넓기 때문에 전송속도가 빠르고, 빛을 매개체로 하여 전기적인 간섭을 받지 않아 전송 도중에 정보 손실이 거의 없을 뿐만 아니라 노이즈 또한 적은 장점을 가지고 있어 이에 따른 연구와 현장 적용이 이루어지고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 형상기억합금과 광케이블을 이용하여 실시간으로 화재 발생위치를 정확하게 감지할 수 있는 화재 감지 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법의 검증을 위하여 실내에서 온도변화에 따른 광 손실량 측정 실험을 수행하였으며, 거리 및 온도 등의 외부환경이 다른 지하공동구에 test bed를 설치하여 화재 모의실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서 개발한 화재감지시스템은 실시간으로 장거리 구간의 화재를 감지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 대륙간 연결사업 추진이 증가하면서 우리나라 주변에는 한-중과 한-일 철도 또는 도로 연결 사업에 대한 논의가 진행되고 있다. 이 때 적용될 수 있는 기술은 해중터널, 해저터널, 침매 터널 등이 있다. 이중에서 해중 터널은 부력에 의하여 해중에 부유하거나 지지보가 자중을 부담하여 수중에 잔교식의 형태로 건설되는 터널의 형식을 말한다. 해중터널은 일반적인 교량, 침매터널, 해저터널의 보완구조물 혹은 대체 구조물로 건설이 가능하다. 해중터널에 대한 연구는 전 세계적으로 거의 초기 단계이기 때문에 다양한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해중터널의 구조 성능 평가 중에 화재가 발생하였을 경우에 화재열이 해중터널에 미치는 영향성을 분석하고자 한다. 해중터널의 해석 대상 모델은 강합성 중공 RC 해중 터널을 대상으로 해석을 수행하였으며, 다양한 화재가 발생하였을 경우에 화재열이 해중 터널 구조에 미치는 영향에 대해서 해석적으로 분석하였으며, 또한 이를 방지할 수 있는 방지 기법을 해석적으로 검토 하였다.

최근 도심지와 산간지역에 설치되는 도로터널의 경우 터널개소의 증가와 장대화로 화재 사고가 점차 증가되고 있어 터널의 방재시설 강화가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 터널화재 발생시 대규모 인명피해가 발생될 수 있는 연기질식사 방지를 위한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 화재발생시 연기확산을 차단하여 질식사 최소화 및 대피시간을 확보 할 수 있는 에어커튼 시스템을 개발하였다. 에어커튼 시스템은 방재설계 사례를 기준으로 시뮬레이션(CFD)을 통한 최적화 방안(분사각도, 분사량 등)을 도출하였으며, 실내 Lab Test 및 실제 도로터널서 화재실험을 실시한 결과 차연성능을 발휘하였다. 이론적/실험적 검증을 통한 에어커튼 시스템 도입을 통하여 도로터널의 인명피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 새로운 방재시설로 발전되길 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 철도터널내 화재시 터널내 구조체의 내화성능을 평가하기 위한 시간-온도곡선의 기준을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서는 철도터널건설과 터널의 수가 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으며, 터널연장이 길어짐에 따라 터널 내 화재사고가 갈수록 높아지고 있는 상황이다. 철도터널의 화재빈도수는 적지만 화재시 인명과 교통차단으로 인한 사회적 피해는 막대하다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 철도터널 화재에 대한 적합한 시간-온도 곡선을 규정하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 철도의 통행량, 차량 종류 등을 고려한 열방출율을 기초로 외국에서 제시된 시간-온도 곡선을 검토해 보았으며 국재 실정에 가장 적합한 설계화재 모델을 제시하였다. 탄화수소(HC)시간-온도 곡선이 국내 철도터널의 설계화재모델로 가장 적합하였으며, 탄화수소 시간-온도곡선에 의한 철도터널 구조체의 온도분포를 예측하기 위하여 유한요소해석을 통하여 콘크리트터널 구조체의 구조성능을 검토하였다.
