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.

Abstract: The 15.2km long headrace tunnel (HRT) is a key component of the Uma Oya Multipurpose Development Project (UOMDP). The HRT takes water from Dyraaba Dam to the pressure shaft that feeds the power house. The excavation of the major 4.30m diameter headrace tunnel is done by using a double shield TBM. This is the first use of a TBM in Sri Lanka. High water...
