This document summarizes a study on tunnel construction. It defines a tunnel as an underground passageway dug through soil, earth, or rock. Tunnels are used for transportation, water, and sewage. They are built to avoid obstacles like mountains, are more economical than open cuts, and decrease alignment length. Common tunnel types include the horseshoe tunnel which uses arch action to resist loading, and the New Austrian Tunnelling Method which involves drilling, charging, excavation using benching, loading/unloading, and rock bolting if needed.

INTRODUCTION
What is tunnel?
 Tunnel is an underground and underwater passage way, dug
through the surrounding soil/ earth/ rock.
 Tunnel construction depends on ground coundition.
 It is used for transportation, carrying water, sewage etc.
REASON TO BUILD A TUNNEL

 To avoid bypassing the obstacle (eg mountain).


 It is more economical than open cuts.
 Decrease the the length of
the alignment
 it is more reliable compare
to open cuts
HOURSE SHOE TUNNEL
 Commonly used for rock tunnelling
 It resist the loading by means of arch action
 It is mainly used for the construction of roads and
railway
New Austrian Tunnelling Method(NATM)
 Drilling
 Charging
 Excavation(benching method)
 Loading and unloading
 Scaling and cleaning
 Rock bolting (if required)
