Yielding support is the state of the art technique for tunnelling in heavily squeezing rock. hiDCon elements are being used successfully as yielding support in a number of projects.

• Yielding stress level between 2.5 –18 N/mm2 and deformation 35 – 55 %
• Precasted elements: wide range of element shapes
• Resistant to shear stress
• Uniform load transmission to the shotcrete

Tunnel support system:
hiDCon properties
hiDCon element in yielding tunnel support system, 15% deformation
The tunnel support system was changed to yielding shotcrete to manage the difficult, heavily squeezing rock conditions. This support system consists of steel ribs or lattice girders, hiDCon elements and shotcrete. The final lining is cast in place 80 – 100 m behind the face.
With each fraction of millimetre with which the rock mass moves, the amount of
pressure acting on the lining decreases.
