According to the presented engineering geological properties, the tunnel orientation and the given direction of advance, the majority of rock mass of Unit 1 (foraminiferal limestones) has RMR value 49–68 and Q between 0.9375 and 13.333, while majority of Unit 2 (rudist limestones) has RMR value 44–71 and Q between 0.729 and 15.000, which classifies them between rock mass classes II and III ...

Much of the tunnel excavation must go through limestone, but a 110-metre stretch of soft clay and sand near the future Rideau station requires a different technique.

Translations in context of "limestone" in English-Romanian from Reverso Context: BSL also operates two limestone quarries.

Rock (crushed into aggregate), limestone and clay are the bulk products that dominate New Zealand's industrial mineral output. Millions of tonnes are dug, blasted and gouged from the earth each year. Since the 1950s they have accounted for between one-third and two-thirds of the value of mined and quarried materials. Cities and roads. In many places rock, limestone and clay are quarried in ...

Limestone and other carbonatic rocks with karstic features often pre - sent risks to tunnelling. Tunnel excavation and support operations in such ground need to face with unpredictable cavities of various sizes, which may be either empty or filled with loose materials .

The access to the rock laboratory is via the security gallery of the Mont Terri motorway tunnel. The impermeable Opalinus Clay is reached after only a short journey through permeable limestone layers. The Opalinus Clay sediments formed in the Jurassic sea are rich in fossils such as ammonites. The rock laboratory can be visited free of charge by appointment. You can find more details here and ...

Sections of the metro lines cross the city underground in TBM excavated tunnels. Substantial sections of the infrastructure were undertaken in challenging Kuala Lumpur Limestone. This limestone has buried tropical karsts, complex three-dimensional network of solution features, highly variable rock head, steep sided troughs and cavities.

Water-rock interaction is a vital factor to affect the stabilities of rock projects. This paper conducted a series of experiments on argillaceous limestones to investigate the influences of saturation and wetting-drying cycle on the physical and mechanical performances of rocks. The results show that the increasing saturation increases the dissolution of clay minerals and lubrication among ...

Surface settlements above the axis of the tunnel were first observed when the face of the tunnel was directly beneath the station. At the entrance portals of the tunnels the limestone overlies a thin sedimentary clay formation and gypsum. Horizontal movements along the interface between the limestone and the underlying clay sequence as well as ...

Magnesian limestone, and previous clay extraction has revealed geological features of national interest. Whilst the site has been used for landfill, the restoration of the site ensured that the SSSI exposure remained exposed and accessible. 5.2 At a regional and local level ...

In the limestone rock of the Acropolis Hill, on which the late Ottoman village stands, two tunnels for the water supply were excavated in ancient times. The upper one can be visited in a guided tour. It was the last section of a 170 km long, mostly underground aqueduct built between 90 and 210 AD to satisfy the enormously increased water needs of the Decapolis towns of Adra'a, Abila and Gadara ...
