In the design of tunnel support, the behavior of the rock mass around a tunnel and the stress acting on the tunnel support may be predicted using a numerical analysis. However, in such a numerical analysis, it is common to assume that each stratum comprises a homogeneous material, ignoring the heterogeneity of the geomechanical properties inherent to the rock mass. For this reason, it is not unusual for the results of the numerical analysis to differ from the actual behavior. We performed a tunnel excavation analysis considering the heterogeneity of the geomechanical properties in the rock mass to investigate the local increase in the tunnel support stress obtained in the 350 m gallery at the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory. The results revealed that, in order to predict the locally increased support stress in advance, it is necessary to carry out a tunneling excavation analysis considering the heterogeneity of the geomechanical properties. It was also revealed that the scale at which the geomechanical properties fluctuate is an important factor.

The Effect of the inhomogeneity of rock mass to the tunnel support stress during tunnel excavation

In the rational tunnel support design, numerical analysis is powerful tool to know the estimation of the behavior before tunnel construction in the case of the special ground condition and limited similar construction. In order to evaluate the support structure quantitatively, it is necessary to understand the effect of the inhomogeneity of rock mass to the tunnel support stress in advance. In this study, tunnel excavation analysis considering the inhomogeneity of rock mass was carried out. The analysis results were compared with the stress measured in the tunnel support in the Horonobe underground research laboratory. As a result, it was revealed that the local stress measured in the tunnel support can be simulated by considering the inhomogeneity of rock mass stochastically. In addition, this study evaluated the effect of the inhomogeneity of rock mass to the tunnel support stress quantitatively by processing analysis results statistically.

no journal, , 

The stability constants of Np(IV) with Ca and Si are measured by solubility method. In the case of coexistence of Ca or Si under high pH region, the solubility of tetravalent actinide was higher than the case of without Ca or Si in a recent study. However, in the case of Np(IV), the experiment was not measured. Therefore, the solubility of Np(IV) was measured with Ca or Si in the high pH region, the stability constants of (Ca$$_{4}$$Np(OH)$$_{8}$$$$^{4+}$$) and Si of Ca and the Np and complex (Np(OH)nSi$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$(OH)$$_{4}$$ etc) was calculated by solubility of Np(IV).
