GEOLOGICAL PROBLEMS RELATING TO TUNNELS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR APPROPRIATE STANDARDS

LA PROBLEMATICA GEOLOGICA RELATIVA ALLE GALLERIE E SUGGERIMENTI PER UNA NORMATIVA IN MERITO

This paper itemizes the essential geological aspects which should be supported by standards, in the surveying, planning, construction and operation of tunnels. The basic concept is a knowledge of the regional geology as it applies to various types of tunnel (mine, railway, underground railway and road). Air photo geology, mechanical drilling and coring, geophysical surveys and geotechnical analyses are discussed as they apply to the design phase. The problems of hydrogeology, and rock and soil mechanics are defined in relation to excavation construction and tunnel lining. /TRRL/
