Full Description
This exam focuses on the theoretical principles underlying the design of underground tunnels and their interaction with ground behavior. Students will articulate methodologies related to tunnel layout, structure, and stress analysis.
Understanding ground behavior is crucial in geotechnical engineering as it directly impacts the stability and safety of tunnel constructions. The principles discussed contribute significantly to advancing tunnel engineering techniques.
The exam will evaluate students' abilities to verbally explain design considerations, factors affecting ground behavior, and the implications of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) operations.
Students should be prepared to discuss specific design models, stress analyses, and the impact of geological variations on tunnel construction.
