Abstract:This study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of an empirically recommended support design through numerical modelling. Numerical techniques are utilized to accurately evaluate tunnel stability under various geological conditions. Numerical analysis is conducted on two different rock types along the tunnel route, employing the recommended support design based on the existing rock mass rating (RMR) and Q‐system. Furthermore, support recommendations are made using the modified RMR and Q‐system, considering t… Show more
