Brittle rock failure in the Steg lateral adit of the Lötschberg base tunnel

Vincent Labiouse

During the crossing of brittle rock formations at the Lötschberg base tunnel, failure phenomena have been observed both at the tunnel face and at the walls. A detailed analysis has been undertaken to explain these behaviours, based on the recent developmen ...
