The tunnel walls were represented by pressurised rubber liner. Results of 6 tests conducted at 50g using large diameter centrifuge at IITBombay are reported. Depth of the tunnel and spacing between the tunnel axis and reinforcement are the variables investigated. To simulate tunnel excavation, hydraulic pressure on walls of the rubber liner was decreased in steps whilst the centrifuge was in-flight. The magnitude and extent of settlement trough with increase in ground loss was captured using potentiometers and pore pressure transducers placed in vicinity of the tunnel axis. From the limited test observations, vertical rods of not more than 14-times the particle size is shown to affect the width of settlement trough. © 2009 IOS Press. | Source Title: | Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering: The Academia and Practice of Geotechnical Engineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/74419 | ISBN: | 9781607500315 | DOI: | 10.3233/978-1-60750-031-5-413 |
