Abstract:Hard rock formations with layered, anisotropic geological structures are rather common in Norway. The design of tunnel rock support under such ground conditions has been traditionally done with an empirical approach and assisted with engineering rock mass classification. In most cases, rock stability has been achieved with the use of fiber-reinforced sprayed concrete combined with rock bolts, sometimes supplemented with ribs of reinforced sprayed concrete (RRS) and bolt spiling. However, the discontinuous char… Show more
