Tunnelling in Weak Rock

摘要: The methodology and design procedures for tunnelling within weak rock are nontrivial in nature. Prior to determining the proper technique ground/rock support method, a tunnel engineer must utilize data obtained from site investigation, classification characterization. This chapter summarizes key components associated with tunnelling. It also includes practical considerations Case Study of Driskos Twin Tunnel as part Egnatia Odos Motorway that was constructed Northern Greece. A section on numerical modelling highlights challenges state art such analyses. Finally, state-of-the-art fiber optic strain sensing is included order highlight its potential use future design, operation maintenance warranted by Observational Method.
