Settlements upon soft-ground tunneling: Theoretical solution
151A
The Timpagrande umdergrour~ powerhouse, built between 1977 and 1978, was excavated in a highly fractured granite formation havirg poor mechanical properties. In this paper a description is given of the in situ and laboratory tests performed to characterize the rock mass, of the criteria adopted during the design stage to define the relevant geoteehnical parameters, of the methods used for the construction and of the system adopted to monitor the real behaviot~ of the structure. Final y, the results of a back analysis are presented, which attempt to identify the real values of the geotechnieal parameters of the rock mass on the basis of the control reBdings. Auth.

m35-1~ An analytical solution is presented for determining the regions around a circular tunnel or shaft within which the strength is exceeded along discontinuities parallel or nearly parallel to the opening, ie the slip zone. The solution can be used to estimate the potential influence of weakness planes on tunnel stability and can assist in the design of rock reinforcement.

Their magnitudes are small compared with those experiemced elsewhere. The proneness of seams depends on coal rank and seam gas composition. The proneness of places depends on depth, structure, intrusion ani tectonism amongst other factors. Methods of prevention, control and prediction of outburst are examined. 102 refs.
