Fracture and shatter zone inflow into hard rock tunnels – Case histories
Abstract
This paper summarizes some case histories indicating the unpredictable nature of groundwater inflow into tunnels and the important geotechnical and geologic parameters to identify and bracket for more accurate prediction. Methods that have been used to estimate groundwater inflows are also summarized.
