    Rock Tunnel

    Uploaded by

    Prachiti Shingade
    The document discusses the planning and construction of rock tunnels. It explains that rock tunnels are necessary due to geographical conditions and can reduce traffic congestion and save time and resources. Planning involves extensive site investigation and rock mass classification to determine the appropriate tunnel design and construction method. Common construction methods described are drill-and-blast, tunnel boring machine, cut-and-cover, NATM, and others. Planning and construction must thoroughly evaluate the tunnel route and surrounding rock conditions to safely excavate the rock and support the tunnel structure.

    The key takeaways are about the necessity, planning, construction and different methods involved in rock tunnel construction.

    The main steps involved in planning for tunnel construction are site investigation and rock mass classification/design.

    Some of the major rock mass classification methods discussed are Terzaghi's Rock Load Classification, Lauffer's Classification, Deere's Rock Quality Designation, RSR Concept, The Geomechanics Classification (RMR System) and Q-System.
