Rock mass classification in highway tunnel engineering during exploration phase and case study

141--153

It is the foundation of tunnel engineering to classify the rock mass surrounding tunnels. However, it is not easy to precisely determine the class of rock mass in practice as sufficient geological exploration need to be completed before rock mass classification, and there exists some disputes referring to the rationalization of dozens of methods for rock mass classification through the world. The principles and procedures of the basic quality method, which are widely used in China, are presented in this paper, and the application process of the basic quality method is showed with a project case of Zhongnanshan highway tunnel which has operated in safety for nearly a decade. Then, both the advantages and disadvantages of the basic quality method are analyzed in terms of practical engineering applications. In consideration of the defects of the basic quality method, the concept of the subclassing of surrounding rock in grade III-V is developed in the end and the criterion is given to determine the subclass of rock mass. This study is aimed at providing some useful ideas and a reference for rock classification in highway tunnel engineering.

Comparison of various FEM approaches in analysisof passive earth pressures

Passive earth pressure is an important element in integral bridge design. Due to the integral connection between bridge deck and abutments, the integral bridge expansion and contraction under temperature action causes abutments to move together with the deck. With temperature varying in time, this also causes varying earth pressures acting on the abutments. Abutments are generally being designed to with stand passive earth pressure because it is significantly higher than active earth pressure. However, by using the controlled yielding technique, these pressures can be considerably lowered. For this purpose, a few-centimeters-thick layer of easily compressible material is placed behind abutment, which provides a means to potential material saving. In this article, results from2D and 3D FEM models of integral abutment are presented. Internal forces obtained in 2D and 3D analysis are compared between themselves, and influence of compressible layer thickness on internal forces is also presented.
