Influence of geometrical imperfections and flaws at welds of steel liners on fatigue behavior of pressure tunnels and shafts in anisotropic rock

Alexandre Jean Pachoud

The recent development of high-strength (HSS) weldable steels has enlarged the range of design alternatives for the optimization of high-head steel-lined pressure tunnels and shafts (SLPT&S) in the hydropower industry. With the liberalization of the Europe ...

Probabilistic simulations of TBM Tunnelling in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Federica Sandrone, Jian Zhao, Jean-Paul Dudt, Erika Paltrinieri

Despite the potential excellent performance of TBMs in favourable ground conditions, the presence of fault zones or heavily jointed rocks represent important geological hazards encountered during tunnel excavation. The effects of these challenging environm ...

Analysis of TBM tunnelling performance in faulted and highly fractured rocks

Erika Paltrinieri

The thesis focuses on the study of the performance of TBMs in highly jointed and faulted rocks. Despite the great production rates recorded in favourable ground conditions, the TBM advance can be significantly slowed down in limiting geological situations ...

A newly developed soil abrasion testing method for tunnelling using shield machines

Jian Zhao

The importance of the effect of ground abrasivity on the performance of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) is important for many tunnelling projects. In recent years, many abrasivity devices have been developed to measure soil abrasivity for specific conditions ...
