Overview

This analysis demonstrates an empirical equation predicting tunnel squeezing in weak rock masses, suggesting improved estimation methods.

Key Points

  • The proposed empirical equation predicts tunnel squeezing with over 80% accuracy, indicating its effectiveness.
  • It incorporates rock mass quality, maximum in‐situ stress, and support stiffness as primary factors in the prediction.
  • The study is based on data from 342 different cases across four tunnels excavated in weak rock masses.
  • Results support the notion that low overburden thickness coupled with high tectonic effects increases squeezing risks.
