Geological engineering problems associated with tunnel ...

2013-5-8 · In this zone, heterogeneous tunnel-working faces appeared, composed of very compact marly limestone layers, and occasionally with clay or even calcite filling the spaces in the clay matrix. In the final metres of the zone wet spots in the clay were often found, and some karstification voids were identified ( Anguita and Moreno, 1993 ).

This places the 30m deep shaft almost entirely in boulder clay and about 200m, at tunnel horizon, from the limestone interface. From the fixed position of the shaft, the hard rock TBM has an initial 200m of boulder clay to excavate. In addition, both TBMs start their drives from the shaft on the maximum 4% highway gradient with the south-bound ...

The Abdalajis tunnels - Robbins

In the middle of the tunnel bore, methane intrusions began to increase. Roughly 800 m (2,625 ft) of fractured clay with methane leaks forced stoppages to ventilate the tunnel. Despite these conditions the TBM kept a constant advance rate and encountered more stable limestone at the end of the tunnel before holing through in January 2006.

Site investigation and geological expectations

The London Clay, Lambeth and Chalk groups contain nodules, concretions and limestone layers that can cause excessive wear on equipment leading to unexpected stoppages. In addition, the Lambeth Group is variable, with sand channels, that can be water bearing and present a risk of a sudden influx of water with consequent stability of the face.

History of lime in mortar | Graymont

Natural cement was produced by burning a mixture of limestone and clay together in kilns similar to those used for lime. The resulting product was ground and stored in waterproof containers. Typically, natural cements had higher clay contents than hydraulic lime products, which allowed for better strength development.
