Abstract: There is a saying: nine in ten tunnels seepage in tunnel and underground engineering in China. It’s not much exaggerated as severe leakage and repeat maintenance. For a long time, we put the problem mainly due to the traditional waterproofing sheets. As to the mountain tunnels of composite tunnel lining the waterproofing sheet membrane is sandwiched between temporary sprayed concrete lining and...
