Sep 09, 2021 · This paper focused on the effects of karst cave shape on the stability and minimum safety thickness of tunnel surrounding rock. First, the 3D water-filled karst cave and tunnel models were established, and the tunnel excavation simulation under the different height–span ratios of the karst cave was carried out.

Get a quoteAbstract: More and more tunnels will be constructed in karst area to raise road grade and improve the regional traffic environment, along with the rapid development of transportion and technology. However, negative effects on groundwater environment resulted by tunnel construction is not uncommon, and it not only jeopardizes the safety while tunnel constructing, …
Get a quoteThe construction and operation of mountain tunnel is closely related to the local water environment. Most of the surface water and groundwater flow into the tunnel through the karst caves, and the external water environment also affects the water inflow in the tunnel. If the investigation of the water
Get a quoteIn order to evaluate the environmental impact of tunnel construction in karst areas, this document establishes an indicator system consisting of physical geography, geology and hydrogeology as well as tunnel engineers and 19 specific indicators, along with grades and standards for assessment. The weight of each factor is determined using analytic hierarchy process, and …
Get a quoteThe results suggested that negative impacts such as loss of surface and underground water, ground collapse, and house deformation would be posed directly and indirectly to the karst groundwater system and its dependent geo-environment as the result of groundwater level drawdown by tunnel excavation.
