Q)
A 10 m diameter tunnel is located at a depth of 200 m below ground surface in
a rock mass having Ko=1. The properties of rock are as follows:
= 70 MPa, E = 1400 MPa, m= 0.5, s = 0.001, v= 0.3, m,=
xp MN/mn3, po=5.5 MPa. wars
What will be the thickness of maximum brittle failure zone and the
corresponding displacement of the wine? Up to what value of p; the rock
miassisclastic?- O13as S5~ (be). (6)
Ti If the rock behaves as clastic-perfectly plastic material, what will be the
thickness of maximum plastic zone? @

‘A 10 m diameter tunnel is located at a depth of 150 m below ground surface in
a rock mass having three sets of discontinuities and driven east to west. The
properties of rock are as follows:
UCS=65-90 MPa, RQD=80-90%, Joint spacing for all the joint sets=300-500
mm, Ground water condition = seepage @ 50 litres/hr/m length.
Joint orientation and joint condition are:
