Abstract: The new Line 3 of Santiago Metro includes the construction of the University of Chile Station, just beneath the existing track tunnel of Line 1. A reliability study was carried out to assess the probability of failure of tunnel excavation for the new station. The stability analyses were performed using the analytical solutions by Mühlhaus (1985) and by Anagnostou and Kovári (1994). The...
Abstract: Underground structures such as tunnels require control and maintenance in order to ensure the appropriate use. A methodology for assessing the risk of block fall in unsupported tunnels was proposed using the reliability analysis, First Order Second Moment (FOSM), with the Unwedge software. This paper deals with a particular tunnel of the rail Vitoria-Minas Vale Company, Espirito Santo State,...
