Many large civil
construction projects have been completed or under construction by the
government during the past 15 years. The tunnel construction does
play a significant role for each transportation projects. Because of the
complexity and unpredictable nature of the geology conditions in Taiwan,
the circumstance encountered during construction is not easy to predict
and evaluate during the planning and design stages. Thus, the schedule
and cost of a tunnel construction are hard to control during
construction. Therefore, the enhancement on the tunneling
construction techniques, understanding the key factor affecting the
construction schedule, and the method to improve the construction
progress have become the subjects to be overcome for tunnel
construction. Most of tunnels constructed either in rocks or soils.
For gravel formation, which has properties between rock and soil, is
seldom encountered in tunnel. In Taiwan, most work experiences in tunnel
had been in rock formation. The experience for the design and
construction of the gravel tunnel is still lacking. There is going
to have many transportation projects constructed in the gravel formation
in Taiwan in the future. Therefore‚how to provide the accumulated
experience to the successive construction seems to be an urgent
task. Due to the shortage of the data on the construction experience
and construction management for tunnel in gravel formation, the
Ba-Guah-Shan Tunnel in the Hanbou-Chatoe East-West Expressway is
selected as the example in this study. The data of monthly
excavation progresses and each construction cycle time are
synthesized. The Data for different construction faces and
geological classifications are compared and analyzed. The excavation
progress in gravel formation is greatly affected by the underground
water. To study the influence of many factors, the tunnel is divided
into the dry and seepage sections, and east and west bounds’ works,
which were constructed by different contractors. The key factors
affecting the construction schedule have been found and
summarized. The data for work experience and corresponding adjustment
to the construction for the gravel tunnel have been accumulated since
September 1997. The average monthly progress is about forty meters for
each construction cycle. The cycling time is 9 to 14.8
hours. In dry section, the tunnel progressing rate can reach sixty
meters or more per month. However, the tunnel construction for dry
section, seepage or water flowing section, and sand and silty formations
has great difference. Many failures have been encountered in
sections of seepage and unconsolidated sandy and silty layers. The
progressing rate was reduced to only several meters per month for these
sections. |
