  • 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.

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.

Geotechnical engineering considerations for the analytical design of an adequate tunnel support system Joan Ongodia, Denis Kalumba, Civil Engineering, University of Cape Town, Graduate student & Senior Lecturer, South Africa, [email protected] Harrison Mutikanga, Brajesh Ojha Civil Engineer, Uganda Electricity Generation Company Limited, Uganda & Civil Engineer, Navayuga Engineering Company, India ABSTRACT: Tunnel excavation impacts the ground both at the surface and underneath thereby affecting the natural in-situ stability. Failure results from stress redistribution, stress relaxation and deformations around the tunnel. Ultimately, tunnel failure occurs when the loads exceed the value of the bearing resistance. Therefore, a support system comprising unique structural components is needed to resist the weight of unstable rock wedges thereby ensuring that the tunnel does not fail. Nevertheless, stability depends on an effective rock- support interaction, specifically with the rock bolt which is the main support member. In order to assess and improve stability conventional methods to design are borrowed from geology which assesses material properties by visual observation, physical identification, using rudimentary geological handy tools, charts and graphs to estimate tunnel support ranges. For stability, the specific value of the required capacity to prevent failure should be established.
