Assume suitable missing data, if any.
Q.1 Design Tunnel support for class D rock found at different length of 4 km long tunnel. The shape of Tunnel Modified Horse Shoe, Size of Tunnel 13.7m9.9m, Tunnelling Method Drill and Blast Method, Condition of Rock Mass Good to Fair, Slope of Tunnel 4.40%, Clear Width 11.5 m , Clear Height of Tunnel 5.5 m and Thickness of Lining 400 mm .
Assume :
Finished width of tunnel =13.00m, Lining thickness =400.00mm Payline =100mm, Thickness of shotcrete tc=50mm, Excavated height of Tunnel =9.90m, Excavated width of tunnel =14.10m, Diameter of rock bolt =25mm, Length of Rock Bolt =2+0.15 B/ESR Where B is excavated width ESR =Excavation Support Ratio =1.3 For Highway Tunnel, Length of Rock Bolt.Required =3.6m Provided Length of rock bolt =5.0m characteristic compressive strength of shotcrete =35Nmm2 Yield strength of rock bolt (fy)=500Nmm2 Factor of Safety for bolt =1.5
Find I. Vertical Support Pressure for Crown II. Ultimate Wall Support Pressure III. Roof and wall support pressure IV. Load carried by Shotcrete V. Load carried by bolt VI. Check support system compatibility for crown and walls
