1.0.1These Specifications are intended to provide standards and guidelnes for design of highway
tunnels.
1.0.2These Specifications are applicable to all classes of new, reconstructed or expandedhighway tunnels excavated primarily by drill-and-blast method.
1.0.3Tunnel designs shall fulfill highway functions and follow the basic principles of " safety .
durability,economy and environmentai protection" .
1.0.4 Highway tunnels can be grouped into four categories by length, as specified in Table 1. 0. 4.
1.0.8Tunnel design shall be such that land use is minimal, existing vegetation preserved whereverpossible and muck and sewage properly disposed.
1.0.9Tunnel design shall proactively and safely adopt new technologies , materials, equipmentand processes in line with relevant national technological and economic policies.
1.0. 10Highway tunnel design shall comply with relevant current national and industrial standards,in addition to these Specifications herein.
2Terms and Symbols
2.1 Terms
2.1.1 Highway tunnel
An underground passageway for motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians to passthrough. Highway tunnels are commonly classified into motor vehicle tunnels and mixed-usetunnels for motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians
2.1.2 Mountain tunnel
A tunnel featured by excavation through mountains
2.1.3 Drill-and-blast tunnel
A tunnel excavated bymanually or mechanically drilling boreholes, loading explosives and
controlled blasting
2.1.4Cui-and-cover tunnel
A tunnel byilt by cut and cover method
2.1.8 Emergency stop zone
An area inside the tunnel for temporary parking of faulty or inspection vehicles
2.1.9Cross passage
A transverse, nearly horizontal passage linking two tunnels or caverns, or linking the tunnel toground surface
2.1.10 Vertical shaft
A vertical excavation provided to improve operational ventilation or construction conditions
2.1.11 Inclined shaft
An inclined excavation at a certain angle to improve operational ventilation or construction conditions
2.1.12 Twin tunnels with small clearanceI'wo parallel tunnels constructed in sufficiently close proximity to each other such that one will havea structural impact on the other.
2.1.20 Distortional pressure
The pressure acting on the lining structure as a result of deformation of surrounding rock mass
2.1.21 Rock load
The pressure acting on the lining structure as a result of deformation or loosening of surroundingrock mass, It is a collective term for distortional pressure and loosening pressure
2.1.22 Eccentric load
Unsymmetrical load acting on a tunnel’s lining structure
3Tunnel Survey and Surrounding RockClassification
3.1General
3. 1.1 The content and scope of survey data to be collected shall be established according to theobjectives at each phase of the tunnel design.Scoping surveys shall also consider the highwayclass, tunnel requirements and size before carrying out data collection, survey, mappingexploration and test. The survey datashal be complete andaccurate to provide sufficientinformation to fulfil the design requirements.
3.6.5 The physical and mechanical parameters of each class of surrounding rock should beobtained from laboratory or field tests. If there are no test data and preliminary classification, theycan be selected from Table A.0.7-1 in Appendix A hereto. The shear peak strength of rock massdiscontinuity may be selected from Table A.0.7-2 in Appendix A hereto. If measurement data areunavailable , physical and mechanical parameters of each class of surrounding soil may be obtainedfrom Table A.0.7-3 in Appendix A hereto.
