  12. Cavern Design Cast concrete lining has recently been • adopted for permanent support 12

  13. Cavern Design Rock Reinforcement Approach Cast-in-situ Concrete Lining Hoop Stress Rock Arch General Arrangement Temporary Shotcrete + Rock Bolts Support Permanent Shotcrete + Rock Bolts Elements Permanent Plain/Reinforced Concrete Lining Design Rock as structural materials to self- Concrete and rebar as structural materials Approach support by rock bolt reinforcement to support all loads An array of load combinations (overburden, Design Load Field Stresses imposed, water, grout pressure, E&M etc.) Structural FEM and DEM Bedded-beam Structural Model Analysis Design Individual failure modes and Shear stress, M-N diagram etc. with partial Checking Numerical Modelling factors according to structural code 13

  14. Rock Reinforcement Approach Conventionally, “Rock Support” is adopted and cast -in-situ • Lateral Vertical Design Pressure Lateral Earth concrete lining is used to sustain all possible loadings Earth Pressure Pressure In Hong Kong, strong igneous rock has a compressive • strength typically greater than concrete Rock is a structural material to self-support itself by utilizing • the “arching effect”. It is perfectly capable to support the ground above the excavation through a theoretical arch For STSTW, the concept is switched to “Rock Reinforcement”. Rock Support • (Rock is considered as loading) Permanent rock bolts are considered as reinforcement and permanent shotcrete supports rock wedges between bolts The inherent strength of rock mass is utilized by applying • confining pressure via rock bolts The thrust capacity is therefore increased • and the rock arch formed around the tunnel is capable of providing the required force to stabilise the opening Rock Reinforcement (Rock is a part of solution NOT problem) 14

  15. Rock Reinforcement Approach Design Procedures • 1. Empirical Q-system 1 Derive initial support from the NGI Q-system  Rock Support Chart (i.e. shotcrete thickness, rock bolts spacing and length) Rock Mass 2 Establish Rock Mass Parameters for Generalized  Parameters Hoek-Brown Criterion 2. Analytical Rock 3 Check the adequacy of support using Rock Reinforcement  Approach Reinforcement Approach, and amend as necessary Numerical 3. Numerical 4 Modelling Verify the design by numerical analyses and  confirm the support requirement Checking of Support Capacity 15

  16. Rock Reinforcement Approach Rock Bolts • Systematic bolting to reinforce the overall stability  Spot bolting to secure individual loosened blocks  Typical diameter: 20 to 32 mm  Typical length of 2 to 6 m  Common type: Fully grouted, (temporary) expansion shell at end  Design life 100 years  Double corrosion protection – Galvanized with epoxy coating  Bischoff and Smart (1977) Lang (1961) and later re-modelled by Hoek (2007) 16

  17. Rock Reinforcement Approach Shotcrete/Sprayed Concrete • Thin layer (75 to 200 mm) along the uneven excavated profile  Does not act as an arch, and does not support loads via compression  or bending Failure modes of shotcrete in the RRA are very hypothetical  Compression or tension cannot develop within the shotcrete  Six Potential Failure Modes:  *Adhesive Failure Flexural Failure *Direct Shear Failure Punching Shear Failure Compressive Failure Tensile Failure 17 Figure 6.23 from GEOGUIDE 4 (2018)

  18. Rock Reinforcement Approach Verification of Design by Numerical Analyses • Can model a continuum with material properties suitable for the • rockmass, or discontinuum with joints Discontinuum Model Continuum Model Need to model different excavation sequences as they can give • different results 18
