TUNNEL LINING II

CONCRETE LINING
CONCRETE LINING
• Governing codes
• IS 5878-5(1976) : Concrete Lining
• Gives various requirements of concrete lining construction.
• IS 456 (2000)
• For all general rules governing concrete construction.
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)
• Requirements for aggregates, cement, water and concrete grading with
corresponding strength as per IS 456.
• On account of curvature, irregularities in rock profile, thin sections and
placing of concrete generally requires to be done through concrete pump or
pneumatic placer.
• Concrete necessarily should be flowy to avoid segregation and to ensure
proper filling in.
• Slump not be less than 100 mm
• Where concrete placed directly, like in inverts and kerbs, it should be reduced to 50
mm
• Max size of aggregate – 40 mm
• Advisable to use air entraining agent to entrain upto 4% of air for
improving workability of concrete.

SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)
• Seepage to be suitable controlled and prevented from getting mixed
with green concrete in the lining
• Appropriate time for placing of concrete (Clause 4)
• Based on conditions of the rock being tunnelled
• Where tectonic forces likely to dilate rocks, sufficient time should be allowed for
such dilations to reduce to reasonable limits.
• Where required, blocking concrete or shotcreting to be placed with minimum
possible time lag after excavation.
Difference between SHOTCRETING VS GUNITING?
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Sequence of Lining(Clause 5)
• Kerbs first, followed by side walls and arch, finally invert
• Suitable for horse shoe, D-shaped and other flat bottomed and wide tunnels
• Kerb built up to a section of sufficient width to serve as base for erection of
forms for sides
• Advantages
• Minimum disturbance to track line on the floor, movement of traffic
• Bottom concrete surface not damaged
• Concreting of sides and arch cast simultaneously with excavation after a
suitable gap.
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Sequence of Lining (Clause 5)


• Inverts first, followed by sides and arch
• Suitable when bottom of tunnel narrow or when section circular
• Also suitable where tunnelling in weak strata and floor tends to wear out fast
or heave up.
• Invert concreted first, acts as regular base for erection of formwork for sides
and arches.
• Invert concreted first, also acts as a strut to counter large horizontal thrusts
while placing of concrete in sides.
• Procedure entails removal of trolley tracks and other service lines and relaying
over then concreted invert.
• Also , invert concrete likely to get damaged during operations for laying overt.
• Above practical difficulties increase if transport is by trucks.
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Sequence of Lining (Clause 5)


• Inverts , side walls and arch all at the same time
• Possible only in small and circular tunnels.
• Difficult to adopt in ordinary course, feasible only where pump concreting
facilities available and construction programme demands it.
• It has some advantages in steeply inclined tunnels.
• In case of soft strata/weak strata where likeliness of collapse of excavated
surface, it becomes necessary to provide a primary lining over and between
steel supports(if provided)
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Form Work (Clause 6)


• Steel form work used in general
• Speed
• Economy
• Multiple use possibility
• Formwork when placed mechanically in rock tunnels can be removed 16-20
hrs after placing last batch of concrete
• Form surface will be well oiled to prevent concrete to stick to the surface
• Types
• Rib and Plate or Rib and Lagging
• Travelling non-telescoping formwork
• Travelling telescoping formwork
• Monolithic formwork
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Rib and Plate or Rib and Lagging


• For tunnels of medium size upto 5 m dia
• Convenient when concrete is to be hand placed
• Ribs made of either channels or T Sections
• Placed at intervals of about 1 m
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Travelling non-telescoping type form work


• Whole formwork pre-assembled
• Mounted on a travelling frame fixed on wheels
• Guided through tracks on invert
• Screw jacks used for aligning, fixing and collapsing
the formwork

• Easy and economical


• Sides and arches may be concreted in one operation
• Formwork made in units of 6 to 12 m long and can be
stuck and reassembled quickly depending on
requirements of construction traffic and matching
concreting equipment
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Travelling telescoping type form work


• Back unit can be collapsed and moved forward
through front unit without disturbing it.
• Side plates hinged to arch plate making it possible
to collapse them
• This form work is also self supported and equipped
with jacks and accessories for the above purpose
SALIENT PROVISIONS OF IS 5878-5(1976)

• Monolithic formwork
• Slip formwork for continuous use
• Suitable for circular or near circular tunnel and
when lining of full section carried out in one
operation
• May be suitable in steeply inclined shafts/tunnels
