  • Alternative Ground Control Strategies in Underground Construction
    Alternative ground control strategies in underground construction Keynote address to be presented by Evert Hoek at an International Symposium on "PRACTICES AND TRENDS FOR FINANCING AND CONTRACTING TUNNELS AND UNDERGROUND WORKS" to be held in Athens, Greece, on 22-23 March 2012 www.tunnelcontracts2012.com/ Alternative ground control strategies in underground construction Evert Hoek Evert Hoek Consulting Engineer Inc., Canada ABSTRACT Underground works vary from shallow urban tunnels to very deep tunnels and caverns in the world’s great mountain ranges. The problems encountered at and between these extremes are entirely different and require appropriate approaches to site investigation, design and construction. The establishment of reliable financial estimates, construction schedules and contract proposals can only be done once a realistic geological model has been prepared and a clear understanding of the likely behaviour of the rock mass and the groundwater conditions has been established. The conditions that control the behaviour of different kinds of excavations in a variety of geological environments are presented in the context of case histories. The aim is to provide project owners, financial managers, insurance companies and contractors with a road map that may assist them in avoiding some of the pitfalls and in considering some of the alternative strategies in the development of underground projects. 1 INTRODUCTION Tunnels have been built for hundreds of years as part of transportation systems for people, goods, water and services. Until the middle of the last century these tunnels were generally small in size and the builders sought out the most favourable geology and topography in which to build them.

Utility tunnel for heating pipes between Rigshospitalet and Amagerværket in Copenhagen,Denmark Tunnel on the Taipei Metro inTaiwan Southern portal of the 421 m long (1,381 ft) Chirk canal tunnel A tunnel is an underground or underwater passageway, dug through the surrounding soil/earth/rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. Secret tunnels are built for military purposes, or by civilians for smuggling of weapons, contraband, or people. Special tunnels, such aswildlife crossings, are built to allow wildlife to cross human-made barriers safely.

Received: 28 December 2018; Accepted: 5 March 2019; Published: 8 March 2019 Abstract: Both Southern Italy and Central China feature historic rural settlements characterized by underground constructions with residential and service functions. Many of these areas are currently tackling economic, social and environmental problems, resulting in unemployment, disengagement, depopulation, marginalization or loss of cultural and biological diversity. Both in Europe and in China, policies for rural development address three core areas of intervention: agricultural competitiveness, environmental protection and the promotion of rural amenities through strengthening and diversifying the economic base of rural communities. The challenge is to create innovative pathways for regeneration based on raising awareness to inspire local rural communities to develop alternative actions to reduce poverty while preserving the unique aspects of their local environment and culture. In this view, cultural heritage can be a catalyst for the sustainable growth of the rural community.

In this paper, the longitudinal seismic response characteristics of utility tunnel subjected to strong earthquake was investigated based on a practical utility tunnel project and numerical method. Firstly, the generalized response displacement method (GRDM) that was used to conduct this study was reviewed briefly. Secondly, the information of the referenced engineering and the finite element model was introduced in detail, where a novel method to model the joints between utility tunnel segments was presented. +irdly, a series of seismic response of the utility tunnel were provided, including inner force and intersegment opening width.

China Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT : Utility tunnel(UT) is an integration system containing many sub-lifeline systems like water transmitting, power, telecommunication, gas-supply system, etc, so, UT is key factor to sustain the healthy development of society and economy. To improve its anti-seismic capacity, the paper studies the performance characteristics of utility tunnel system under seismic loads based on a shaking-table experiment. Herein, two models of two-span UT with rectangular section are set up, one is used to simulate the main utility tunnel, and the other is for branch utility tunnel. Three kinds of pipeline are installed in UT to model the water-supply system, cable and power-line system respectively. This research is used to identify and explore seismic performance of utility tunnel body and its inner pipeline. Anti-seismic performance of pipeline abutment and joints based on passive control device is also experimented to check their capacity of resisting earthquake damage. The experiment is done on the 3m X 3 m shaking-table; three selected seismic records are input.

  • Utility Tunnels – Proven Sustainability Above and Below Ground Axel Laistner, Hermann Laistner (Dipl.-Ing
    Utility Tunnels – Proven Sustainability Above and Below Ground Axel Laistner, Hermann Laistner (Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Axel Laistner, axel laistner consulting UG(hb), Rosenstr. 6 – 73466 Lauchheim, [email protected]) (Dipl.-Ing(FH) Dipl.-Ing.(FH) Hermann Laistner, Hardtsteige 29 – 73466 Lauchheim) 1 ABSTRACT Utility tunnels have been elements of urban supply systems for almost two centuries now. However, their use and implementation is still less determined by urban planning and urban needs – and more by the qualities, preconceptions and determination of the urban managers in question. During the 1990s in the course of the German reunification process the fluidity of the urban management situation created opportunities for new approaches to this old technology. In conjunction with landmark urban development projects on the path to urben sustainability, utility tunnels were used as one of the many instruments and approaches to achieve sustainable developments. Now – almost 20 years later we can look at these developments and the utility tunnels and have a first discussion on their sustainability success. At present a new relevance developes in regard of this technology. The current urban development schemes in China, India and many other places of the world are of such scale, that questions of doing it right while doing it timely are of prime significance. At the same time, we are facing a situation, in which – within the coming 40 years – the whole energy supply and distribution system of the world – including China and India – will need to be 100% restructured and reworked. We need a whole new quality of system flexibility and reaction capacity in urban engineering to achieve the path to urban sustainability.
