Assessment of design parameters for TBM tunnelling in weak and water-bearing ground and through fault zones
Abstract: The correct evaluation of the most pertinent geomechanical parameters assumes increasing importance due to the current trend of today’s planned infrastructure projects for which owners and planners quite frequently plan tunnels with diameters larger than 13 meters to be excavated by universal tunnel boring machine. The risks associated for large to very large tunnel profiles are emphasized...

The great tunnel of the Apennines (Italy): a lesson from the past
Abstract: In the early XX century, a long base-tunnel (the Great Tunnel of the Apennines - GTA - 18.507 km long) was executed between Bologna and Firenze (Italy). During excavation, large water inrushes, methane inflows and swelling events occurred, with many injuries and casualties. In this paper, we present a re-visitation of the main geological concerns of the GTA in order to understand, at the light...

Water resource protection and eligibility for financing in underground projects
Abstract: In underground projects, thoroughly assessing the water related issues early in the project cycle would substantially reduce risks for cost and time overruns, environmental damage, mitigating Climate Change, increasing the economic and environmental feasibility, as well as the public consent. Compliance on regulations for eligibility of funding and environmental safeguards is the overarching...
