Outline
• Definition• Background• Role of Engineering Geology• Tunnel Hazards• Stress• Methods of Excavation• Failure Preventions• Simple Case Study
Engineering Geology Modeling
What’s tunnel?
Tunnel is an artificial underground hollow structure.
Engineering Geology Modeling
Why do we need tunnel?
• Limited space on surface• Underground mining• Economic reasons ex : Gotthard trans tunnel.
Engineering Geology Modeling
Why am I interested in tunnel engineering?
Imagine Indonesia in 5, 10, 20, and 100 years….• How will our transportation system develops?• Where will we build any development?• What will our industry needs?• What will we need to develop our economy?• Where will we find our natural resources?
Engineering Geology Modeling
GO UNDERGROUND!
Where does geological engineer gets involved?
Mostly assessing geological condition of the construction site. But on long tunnel project geologist continuously map the rocks on the projected path of tunnel.
Engineering Geology Modeling
Where does geological engineer gets involved?
The aim of investigation by moving is to spot weaker area (soft rock) so we can prevent problems that might arise such as ground collapse that might causes TBM to be stuck.
Engineering Geology Modeling
(a) Boring machine for cutting sample. (b) Investigating cutting samples.
Tunnel Hazard
In general there are certain things to watch out in a tunnel project :
a. Heterogenous geological conditionb. Ground water depressionc. Groundlossd. Ovalization
Engineering Geology Modeling
Geological Feature
(a) Heterogeneous geological featureSoft rocks are bad news for tunnel engineers.
Engineering Geology Modeling
Geological Feature
Discontinuity such as fault or fractures also lower the RMR.
Engineering Geology Modeling
Groundwater
(b) Groundwater depressionSettlements near a tunnel may causes cone
depression
Engineering Geology Modeling
Pore pressure and Effective Stress
How does it affect the tunnel?Increases effective stress that threaten tunnel
structure.

Tunnel Deformation
(c) Ground loss(d) Ovalization (includes failure)

Engineering Geology Modeling
Ground Loss & Ovalization
Ground collapse caused by excavated tunnel beneath the surface.
Ex : Malaysian SMART Tunnel Project
Engineering Geology Modeling
GroundLoss
Ground LossStress around tunnel are compressive creating
purely radial displacement

Ground Loss Model

OvalizationUnlike ground loss, the stress that causes
ovalization has vertical compressive stress.

Ovalization Model

Ovalization Model
Engineering Geology Modeling
Ground Loss & Ovalization
Ground loss and ovalization differs by the direction of the stress.
Engineering Geology Modeling
What caused them?
Stress
Engineering Geology Modeling
StressThere are two kinds of stress :• In situ stress• Man induced stress
The vertical stress could be formulated as below :
Engineering Geology Modeling
In Situ StressCaused by the weight of the overlying
natural material/overburden.
Engineering Geology Modeling
In Situ Stress
Engineering Geology Modeling
Man Induced StressCould be caused by settlement above
surface or by poor tunnel planning.

Methods of ExcavationEngineering Geology Modeling
How do we excavate a tunnel?
Engineering Geology Modeling
Methods of tunnel excavation. From traditional to high-tech TBM.
How do we excavate a tunnel?• Mechanical
For a big construction project, we would usually use Tunnel Boring Machine. Don’t use spoon to dig a tunnel.
• BlastingUse of explosive to crumble the rocks and carry them out by dump truck or conveyor. Usually used on underground mining.

Methods of SupportEngineering Geology Modeling
Failure Prevention
How do you prevent failure from engineering and natural process?
Internal : Ground improvementExternal : Supporting structure
Engineering Geology Modeling
Ground Improvement
Stabilize the existing ground during construction and then, perhaps with some modification.

Gotthard Strassen Tunnel Breakthrough
Shortcrete
Case study

5 m
Other info :•Unit weight = 25 kN m-3
•Concrete strenght = 20 MN m-2
Case study
Engineering Geology Modeling
3 m
5 m
Vertical Stress (a)2.000 m* 25 kN m-3 = 50 MNm-2
Force per 1 meter tunnel (F)5 m2 * 50 MNm-2 = 250 MN
Area needed for the concrete250 MN / 20 MN m-2 = 12,5 m2
However, the only available area for one meter length is 5 m2 . Therefore it’s physically impossible for this tunnel to maintain its structure with the concrete support.
Area per 1 meter tunnel (A)5 m * 1 m = 5 m2
Questions
1. Does the length of the tunnel has any effect on the structural strenght? Why do we always model a tunnel in half plane?
2. What about horizontal compressive stress? Tectonic? Does it have any significant effect on tunnel structure?
3. How do we decide which method of failure prevention to use?
4. How does shear stress works on tunnel?
