6 2 Types of permanent lining 6

7 Options of Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels (SCL) (Thomas & Pickett, 2011) Double shell lining (DSL) Sacrificial primary lining for temporary loads Secondary lining for total permanent loads No monolithic behavior Single shell lining (SSL) Primary lining for temporary loads Secondary lining + primary lining for permanent loads Monolithic behavior Composite shell lining (CSL) Primary lining for temporary loads Spray-on waterproofing membrane Secondary lining + primary lining for permanent loads Monolithic behavior 7

8 Double shell and composite shell linings (Thomas & Pickett, 2011) DSL CSL 8

9 Single shell lining No waterproofing membrane Structural role of both primary and secondary layers Infiltrations acceptable (consider evaporation) 9

10 Evaporation in tunnels (AFTES, 1989) Q = 0,01785s(F f)(1 + 0,0862U) Q flow rate (l/h) F water vapor saturation pressure (mm Hg) f ambiente water vapor pressure (mm Hg) s area (m 2 ) U air velocity (m/s) 10

11 ITA WG 12 Shotcrete for Rock Support, 2004 The contributions from different countries illustrate well the widely different views on rock support design. This becomes especially evident when comparing sometimes the overconservative cast in place concrete linings with what evidently is satisfactory support under similar conditions using shotcrete. There are many examples of thickness reduction from one meter down to 10 to 15 cm of shotcrete K. Garshol 11

12 Composite Shell Lining Spray-on membranes Monolithic behavior (ground mass concrete membrane interaction) Different assumptions of sacrifice layer 12

13 Primary Lining (Shotcrete) Secondary Lining (Shotcrete) 13

14 Rotation capacity of plastic hinges (adapted from NBR 6118:2003), where x is the depth of the neutral line and d is the cantilever of reinforcement. 14

16 Single-shell lining - São Paulo Metro Single track tunnels (~ 6m diameter) Year: Ground mass: stiff clays and water bearing sands Pressure: 0.5 to 2.0 bar Total thickness (sprayed concrete): 20 to 25 cm 16

23 Water pressure on tunnel lining potential clogging of geotextiles (Shin et al., 2005) Time-dependent problem Non-woven geotextiles loose drainage capacity (clogging and compression) Role of permanent lining Limited (or no) long-term instrumentation Coupled numerical analyses 23

24 Loss of geotextile drainage capacity 24

25 Pressure as a function of geotextile drainage capacity 25

53 7 - Conclusions 53

54 Inflow criteria: operation conditions and durability Adavantages of umbrella-type systems: lower structural demand; pre-grouting eventually needed Use of sheet membranes does not allow primary secondary lining interaction Spray-on membranes allow primary secondary lining interaction Long term compression of sheet membranes on sprayed concrete surfaces not recommended Importance of the role of final lining 54
