Abstract: The breakthrough of the Headrace Tunnel in the Uma Oya project done on the 2nd of October 2019, which face a lot of challenges and unforeseeable geological conditions of 15.4 km. Headrace Tunnel excavated by two hard rock double shield Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) with 4.3 m excavation diameter in upward and downward slopes, without any middle access. Upward driven TBM excavated more than 10...
Abstract: Water drawdown due to water ingress is a probable issue in tunnelling processes. This makes serious problems including ground settlements, environmental problems, increasing costs, excavation hazards, and several executive difficulties. In this paper, using measured data, data investigation, probabilistic and sensitivity analysis, machine learning methods, curve fitting, and several numerical...
Abstract: Population increases and cities developments forced the governments to investing on the undergrounds structures such as buried buildings and tunnels. However, tunnels are complicated structures that their constructions accompany with several difficulties including ground settlements, water ingress, environmental problems, costs, excavation hazards and several executive difficulties. One of the...
