An advantage of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is that it can be used to capture pre-peak, peak, and post-peak stress changes in the rock mass. It provides useful information for characterizing rock mass behaviour at all stages of fracturing, even prior to measurable deformation. Based on the fact that AE activity is closely related to stress ch...

This paper on the geotechnical data integration and the results of the numerical simulations – numerical modelling of the tunnel excavation with the primary lining is based on finite element numerical simulation approach which predict stability of the future excavated tunnels in the pro-ject of LOT2 Lugoj-Deva motorway tunnels. The aim of this proj...

This paper introduces the monitoring system used on the excavation of the M85 Tunnels. The ~780 twin tubes were excavated in demanding, mixed geological conditions using sequential ex-cavation methods (SEM). Temporary support was mainly reinforced shotcrete used together with pipe umbrella, spiling, forepoling board. As there was no room for error...

For professional tunnelling engineers, particularly in the early stages of a project, this study will be useful as it provides a critical assessment of what works best in the RMR rock mass classification system and how the values derived from it can be translated into the establishment of a practical rock safety system 45 years after its developmen...

Tunnelling is an obviously three-dimensional process. Tunnelling in yielding ground also generates a 3D, bullet shaped zone of plasticity in soft rock, but also generates a bullet shaped fracture zones in the brittle rock masses. Longitudinal displacement profiles (LDP) characterize and describe the displacement history during tunnel excavation, in...

In this study, a new method was examined that used acoustic emission (AE) monitoring data, in combination with a primary Boundary Element stress analysis, to back-calculate rock mass strength. The presented AE data came from the National Radioactive Waste Repository (NRWR) for low-and intermediate-level waste (LLW/ILW). AE monitoring is able to det...

Dear colleagues in rock mechanics and engineering geology!
We are developing the RMR-based rock support further and would also like to update Bieniawski's summary figure for stand-up time. We already have data on some projects (we have collected historical mines here as well as natural caves, old and new tunnel projects).
We are asking you to send me information if you have it.
Information needed: project location, the time of the execution (any additional references would be good), how long was the tunnel unsupported (collapsed? or was there any indication?), remained unsupported? What RMR or Q value was typical for the reported underground area?
Thank you in advance!
My email address is deak.ferenc@tunnelte.ch
