Abstract:Squeezing phenomena can lead to severe loads in deep tunnels, especially in the presence of a low ratio of surrounding rock strength to overburden pressure. For this reason, it is highly imperative to analyze and identify a suitable methodology to estimate the squeezing potential and select a proper support system of rock mass. This study aims to reveal the causes of failure of Tishreen tunnel in the west of Syria and develop remediation measures accordingly so as to bring the tunnel back into service. The tun… Show more
