Design and Construction of Tunnels in Jointed Rock According to the AJRM Method - Part 2

摘要

The first part of this article was published in the 3/2021 issue of tunnel [15]. There, the authors present the AJRM method. The rock mechanical model is explained. With the aid of case studies, the advantages of a realistic simulation of the behavior of jointed rock as well as of the interaction of rock mass and structure are illustrated. As announced, part 2 of the article deals with the rock hydraulic model and related case studies as well as with the determination of the required parameters. Thus, an overall method for a safe and economic design of structures as well as for groundwater modeling in jointed rock is available.
