    Abstract: Icicles may growth on the tunnel lining in winter season. Since icicles can cause traffic obstructions and damage to tunnel facilities, tunnel managers prevent icicle-related damages by the patrolling and manually removing works of icicles on the tunnel lining. Therefore, the patrolling and manually removing works of icicles by tunnel managers are very severe works in winter season. In this...

    Abstract: Of the road tunnels managed in Japan, the proportion of tunnels over 50 years after construction is currently around 20%, but will increase to over 50% in 20 years. In addition, Japan is an earthquake-prone country, and the risk of earthquake occurrence is high. This suddenly decreases the soundness of any tunnel within the influence zone, and there have been reports of cases of large-scale...

    Abstract: The heaving phenomenon in mountain tunnels affects the stability of the tunnel. Therefore, if heaving can occur even on hard ground, it is necessary to construct an invert. The tunnel-invert is an important structural component for the long-term stability of the tunnel. However, in mountain tunnels in Japan, the heaving phenomenon may occur even if the invert is constructed at the design stage....

    Abstract: To construct a tunnel safely and economically with the conventional tunnel construction method, it is most important to ensure the standing time of the tunnel face. One of the authors measured the amount of tunnel face extrusion to understand the displacement behaviour of the weak ground during tunnel construction. The measurement results show that the displacement of the tunnel face has a...

    Abstract: It is common not to consider the spatial heterogeneity of geomechanical properties when numerical analysis is used in the support design of mountain tunnels. For this reason, tunnel behaviour that greatly exceeds the predictions by numerical analysis may occur at the site. In this study, in order to clarify the effects of the spatial heterogeneity of geomechanical properties in soft rock mass...

    Abstract: If a large amount of water inflow occurs suddenly during the construction of a mountain tunnel, it may lead to a deterioration of construction performance and collapse of the tunnel face. In addition, it is expected that the ground water inflow will have a significant impact on the living environment of the neighboring residents at the tunnel construction site in the case of a small overburden....

    Abstract: In tunnel excavation, it is important to stabilize the face and to control the settlement of the ground. However, when examining the possibility of the collapse of the face, in numerical analysis, there may be a form in which the ground in front of the face flows into the tunnel due to the weight of the ground and the pushing out phenomenon of the face in the forward region. In some numerical...

    Abstract: Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) tunnelling projects in hard and abrasive rock pose different challenges compared with those in soft ground. One of the challenges is the determination of penetration rate of tunnelling and the design of TBM cutter with respect to anticipated ground condition. There is little published information on slurry TBM performance in granitic rock. Two 7.45m dia. slurry TBMs...

    Abstract: The civil engineering infrastructures in Japan were constructed intensively between the period of high economic growth. The ageing of these civil engineering structures will require appropriate maintenance to ensure their safety. In particular, various methods have been proposed to evaluate the health of the tunnel-lining of road tunnels. One of them is the Tunnel-lining Crack Index (TCI)...

    Abstract: The development of a monitoring system about the stability of tunnel face is an urgent issue because of the problem of occupational accidents caused by "rock fall" which is a collapse of rock near the tunnel face immediately after excavation. In this study, we challenge to prevent damage caused by rock fall by collecting information on the tunnel face using various sensors and evaluating the...
