Switzerland builds now 2 new alpine base tunnels
• GothardL = 57 km2015
• LoetschbergL = 34.7 km2007connection withSimplon-tunnel
44//4040TheThe exampleexample of Alp of Alp TransitTransit ProjectProject
Functions of the new rail alpine routes
• Integration of Switzerland in european high-speed railway network
• Transfer of alpine freight traffic from road to rail

Loetschberg - Project overview
- Length : 34,7 km- 2 tubes, 65-70 m2
- Total length of all galeries : 88 km
- Altitude max. : 828 m- Construction period :
1995 - 2006- Coming into operation :
2007

Condition for stress-driven spalling
• Massive Rockmass• Brittle rock• High stress level
(high overburden)• Low confinement
(ratio σ3 / σ1)• Crack damage
initiationσtan max = 0. 3…0.5 σc

Stresses on tunnel walls
• Kirsch (1898)• σr = 0• σtan max = 3 σ1 - σ3
• σtan min = 3 σ3 - σ1

Spalling : stresses orientation

1700 m• σv~ σ1 > σh
• max. stresses on the tunnel wall

Support choice by spalling
Spalling• Standard support :
– Swellex-Bolts– Wire mesh (TBM)– Fiber-shotcrete (D+B)
• Bolts on tunnel wall (and on tunnel face by drill-and-blast)
Rockburst• Stored Energy => support
– Yiellding-Swellex orSplitset-Bolts
– Fiber-shotcrete or wire mesh and shotcrete
• High density of bolts on tunnel wall (and on tunnel face by drill- and-blast)

Face instability with blocks formation
• Claim of the contractor
• Influence of stress level and orientation
• Influence of tunnel radius (Kaiser)
• Influence ofschistosity and fractures

Lias limestone : unstable layer in crown
• Very schistose• Flatly dipping in the
direction of tunnel drive
• Convergence until 60 cm in TBM drive
• Few problems for drill and blast drive (unstable layer fell during blasting)
3636//4040TheThe exampleexample of Alp of Alp TransitTransit ProjectProject
Central Aar granite : abrasivity and blocks
• TBM-head had to be repaired 4 times
• Protection of disc-cutters against blocks

Conclusions and references
• Hard rock TBM can drive under moderate spalling conditions=> orientation of grippers ?
• Stress-driven block formation can occur at TBM face under high overburden
• Orientation of schistosity and fractures
