STABILITY OF UNDERGROUND EXCAVATIONS UNDER ROCK MASS FOR MENORA-MERU TUNNEL IN IPOH-CHANGKAT JERING TOLL EXPRESSWAY. PROCEEDINGS, SIXTH CONFERENCE, ROAD ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION OF ASIA AND AUSTRALASIA, 4-10 MARCH 1990, KUALA LUMPUR, VOLUMES 1 TO 5 AND POST CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

One of the prerequisites to the understanding of the static behaviour of any underground excavation is that of ascertaining how the excavation stands or fails under different loading conditions. It is clear that the knowledge gained from rock mechanics theories shall be used in the planning of the underground excavation works as well as in the concept of its execution in controlling the permissible deformations of the rock. This paper describes the theoretical and practical development for the design and construction of the Menora-Meru tunnel in Ipoh-Changkat Jering Toll Expressway, Malaysia. For the covering entry of the conference see IRRD 823206. (Author/TRRL)
