Drilling engineering is not only a systematic engineering that involves several workcategories, work procedures,intersectant and continuous operation, but also is a concealed underground engineering. There are uncertain factors in drilling projects, which have the characteristics of high investment and risk. On the basis of the overall analysis of the two factors of geology and engineering, the...

The load entering from the ground surrounding on the tunnel’s lining is one of the effective parameters in the designation of a tunnel. The amount of this parameter, which is called Rock load in a rocky environment, depends on several factors such as the overburden thickness, geological and geomechanical conditions and the depth of tunnel. In the present study, the amount of rock load for the L...
