 TUNNELING - STATICS
Tension, which expands, or pulls on a
material
Compression, which shortens, or
squeezes material
Shearing, which causes parts of a
material to slide past one another in
opposite directions
Torsion, which twists a material
The tunnel must oppose these forces

41
 DEPENDENCY OF METHOD OF GROUND CONDITIONS

Difference soft ground, soft rock,

hard rock, underwater.
Strong ground and small
diameter tunnels: Full-face
method
Soft ground: top-heading-and-
bench method

TUNNELING
METHOD [NATM]
 NATM METHOD
Excavation in stages, topheading and bench
excavation
Geologists identify rock type and assess behavior
Initial lining of sprayed fiber-reinforced concrete
(shotcrete), rockbolts, and latice girders
Initial lining is flexible and allows rock to deform in
controlled fashion until equilibrium is reached
Deformation measurement

48
 NATM METHOD
Final lining of traditional reinforced concrete

Flexibilityof the Method allows engineers to adjust

reinforcing elements based on observed behavior
Result: Reasonable cost, without sacrificing safety
by variable support measures
Flexibility at changing ground conditions
Applicable in nearly all ground conditions

49
 Main Principle

NATM In the past

The main load-bearing component of the tunnel is the surrounding rock

mass.

INSTALLATION OF ARCH AND REINFORCEMENT

NATM In the past

Maintain strength of the rock mass.

 NATM In the past

Avoid detrimental loosening.

INSTALLATION OF ARCH AND REINFORCEMENT

 Load bearing ring

NATM In the past

Mobilization of the strength of rock mass.

INSTALLATION OF ARCH AND REINFORCEMENT

 Deformations

Measurements the deformations of the rock mass during the

excavation must be measured.

INSTALLATION OF ARCH AND REINFORCEMENT

 NATM In the past

Flexible support - The primary lining is thin.

INSTALLATION OF ARCH AND REINFORCEMENT

 Rock bolts
Mesh steel
Steel arches

NATM In the past

Additional support requirement shall not be added by increasing lining
thickness but by additional rock bolts and wire mesh

NATM In the past

Statically the tunnel is considered as a thick-walled tube consisting of
the rock and lining.

Mucking will usually be done by means of a wheel loader, which loads the articulated
dump trucks. After excavating, the tunnel excavator moves back, providing the wheel
loader enough place to load the dump truck. Waste will be collected in the portal area.
