Extrusion Concrete Lining

1.Outline of the tunnel

Construction method： ECL (Extruded Concrete Lining) method
Length ： approx.6,000m
Concrete vol. ： approx.72,600m3 as primary lining (1 ling ：approx.14.5m3)

2.Specification of concrete
- Flowability
・0 minute Slump flow 65cm(±5cm)
・5 hours after Slump flow 55cm(±5cm)
- Compressive strength
・24 hours ≧15N/mm2
・28 days ≧30N/mm2
- Segregation resistance
・Bleeding of concrete under pressure (about 5cc of target)
- Compactability and deformability
・Flowability of self-compacting concrete （Funnel method)
