Tunnel Engineering     

The work contains the alignment of the tunnel of the centre line on the surface and transfers it to the tunnel and good leveling work on the surface and inside the tunnel can be achieved.
1)First, a preliminary  location survey is done followed by very precise resurvey of line
2)As tunnel excavation is carried out from each end face as also from several intermediate shaft faces, minute accuracy in the survey of the centre line is essential
3)When a tunnel is short, ordinary engineer transit, properly handled gives close and satisfactory results
4)When the tunnel is very long it is very necessary to have a tunnel transit and is fitted with striding level by which transverse axis can be made truly horizontal
5)Leveling work is carried on in the standard way except for the fact, that where steep slopes are encountered extra care is taken
6) Horizontal distance is measured by 
  1. Stepping
  2. Inclined sights
  1. Percussion Drill:Machine which break rock into small peices by the impact of repeated blows 
  2. Abrasion Drill: In this bit rotate in hole
  3. Jack Hammer/Sinkers:Itis an air operated percussion drill type(reciprocate @ 2200 blows per minute) Weight - 20 to 25 kg
  4. Drifter – Similar to jack hammer but make hole bigger in size about 11.25cm in dia Wagon drill: Mounted on mast supported by two or more wheels
  5. Stopper:It is air operated percussion type drill,used for overhead drilling Churn drill : To make deep holes more than 15cm dia
  6. Shot drill: work on principle of abrasion upto 750mm dia hole can be drilled
  7. Diamond drill:used to obtain core samples
  8. Depth per bit:Depth of hole which can be drilled by bit before replacing Drilling rate:No. of metres of hole drilled per hour per drill
  9. Burden:Horizontal distance from face back to first row of drill hole
  10. Face : Vertical surface extending upward from floor of pit to level@which drilling is done
  11. Piston Drill/Quarry Master:Action similar to wagon drill.It strikes 200 blows per minute Drilling can be done upto 21m
  12. Mast hole drill:Self propelled drill.Used to drill hole on soft to medium rocks.used to drill upto 100m

METHOD OF TUNNELING IN SOFT ROCK

A Key article to learn " Method of Tunneling in Soft Rock " providing easy access to learn     Classification of  Method of tunneling in soft rock  1)Hard rock or fully self supporting 2)Soft soils  requiring temporary support during and after construction. Forepoling Method      Sequence of operation The shaft is sunk from surface to the grade level and properly protected with timber sheeting A wooden bent properly braced is setup a few inches from sheeting Small holes at close interval are drilled through the sheeting to facilitate section being cutout.The pattern of holes are 3 inches apart above the cap and other lines of holes below the cap A peice of sheeting is cutout along the top lines of the holes Forepoles or spiles consists of planks with wedge end are entered one at a time and driven through cut,into the ground for half their lengths with an upward inclination of 2 inch per foot. After all the roof and part of sid...

Entrance Locks

Entrance Locks of Harbors and Docks Entrance Locks are those which give access to docks Components of Entrance Locks 1) Chamber: which is enclosed by quays wall on each side and bottom is paved by inverted arch flooring which resists upward water pressure when lock level is low 2) The gates closing entrance constructed of wood or iron of heavy design to withstand water pressure 3) The sill is raised above the gate floor by 2 foot 4) Sluice way   provided in side walls for filling and emptying locks Dimensions of Entrance and Locks It main factor are width, size, and displacement of the longest vessels. Modern locks have width vary from 80 foot and above and depth 25 foot to 40 foot and length of 800 foot and over. Construction of Entrance and Locks Materials   generally used are: 1)Wood 2)Iron Wooden Gates It consists of a horizontal beam that is spaced closer at the bottom to resist water pressure and joined together by heel post in such a way that two extreme ends meet...

Drainage in Tunnel

Load the mind with new topic of tunnel engineering which is  Drainage of Tunnel                         BASICS ABOUT DRAINAGE IN TUNNEL In a tunnel water comes from shafts and portal which is being dug in order to achieve the alignment of tunnel, water which is being used during washing  holes of drill and progressing the tunnel during the time of construction,The water obtained from the first source cannot be easily determined and water obtained from the second cause requires analysis and investigation and can be prevented by RCC bulkhead. Exploding charge may open up a ground water source unexpectedly omitting large quantity of water into the tunnel. Such sudden shot of water give rise to conditions  An underground pocket or lake has been trapped. An underground flow with an inexhaustible source such as river or  lake has been trapped The progress of tunneling work and the maintenance o...
